When was this? East and East2 had a lot of quota constraints due to tax season. That should be diminishing now that tax season is over though.

Doesn't Tesla have an open patent philosophy? I've heard Musk say that if someone builds a better electric car and it causes the end of Tesla, he's fine with that.

Maybe he's counting decimal places too?

Plenty of people know who they are and have for quite a while.

This is just absurdly false. What basis do you have for this claim?

I'd be happy to talk to you more about this. I manage a cloud team, oversee a sizeable budget, and have a lot of experience optimizing cloud spend (along with startup/unicorn/mega …

> You see the company hire friend after friend of execs, friends' kids as interns, friends' wives as Executive Directors, execs' girlfriends as "Chief of Staff" - and you realize y…

How about two of the most cost impacting elements in home building, cost of labor and land?

This. I have one and I think it may outlive me. That thing has been working flawlessly for over a decade.

I thought the PIN was the issue. Can't op just do a pw reset, wipe the phone and log in again?

I absolutely love it! Thanks for making it so simple and clean.

Totally get it. If you're into it for a few k to install, that's one thing. To me, the total costs for this seem a bit high. Who knows, maybe with scale things get cheaper. I'm def…

Same thought as well. I recently self installed an 18k BTU unit. The lines came pre-charged, but I wanted it to be run exactly to length. For someone to come and do just that part …

I think you're going to find HN to be against most rent seeking forms of "investment". There's a lot of hate on landlords, for both good and bad reasons. HN isn't on the friendlier…

I would welcome this, but won't skeptics say that remote work was also touted as a huge benefit and companies are now looking to go back to office? I can see the same thing happeni…

Maybe it should have been, 'Machine helps man beat machine at Go'.

I stopped getting cavities when I stopped rinsing all of the fluoride away after brushing my teeth. If you wish to rinse, do so after a few minutes. I told this to my dentist and h…

Thanks for sharing! I had no idea this was possible. I think this makes things much more interesting.

The recent submission on Slack (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34540085) got me thinking about how using something like Discourse would look like. Having something like ChatG…

Would those "happy" customers lead to more word of mouth though? Not everything has to be a gimmick, right?

I would argue that engineers should look to build some of those capabilities into the app itself. So many users want the ability to solve their own problems themselves. Obviously d…

Also a note about the dangers of cracked software. There could be malware, viruses, etc. The value becomes much smaller to use something that could ransomware your system. Then, cr…

Ha, I'd say rearchitecting is fun and incident response is not fun. I think there are parts of the process that people enjoy over others and that's based on many factors, personali…

How is testing done in kernels? Is there unit testing, integration, end to end? I'm unfamiliar, but curious.
