The 70% seems pretty crazy high. Maybe it's one of those "not my problem, it's free to me". As most people aren't thinking of themselves spending tens of thousands of dollars. The …

Just don't buy Apple products. It's not hard. Cheaper, higher quality products. The only way I can see this holding any legal ground- A user needed to service 100% of the populatio…

I've been programming for 12 years, doing design Engineering for 8 years with an undergrad in chem Engineering, masters Engineering Management. Good luck selling 12 years of self t…

I'm too ethical to give money to Apple.

What's your desktop alternative?

I've tried for the nth time 3 years ago to use Linux desktop (Ubuntu). It just takes Soo much effort to get things to work. Netflix and deactivate mouse acceleration(which isn't pe…

This is how United States politics work. The elite give money to regulate an industry. Do elites ever give money to deregulate?

Yeah this is damage control. I recommended stripe to a friend because a hn (ad?) That mentioned the documentation was great. He struggled and I couldn't help him without a deep div…

We are seeing both parties run Populist demagogues. Yes people are getting fooled real bad. The decline of democracy is here.

Physicians claim they should be the only ones with the power to give antibiotics, but then they created the opioid epidemic. The physician cartel in the US is awful. I only see the…

I'm not sure these are real as much as these are put out by iota PR people. Reddit had a massive issue with iota astroturfing.

I don't. But I also don't like Facebook's forced news. Reddit is decent as long as the subreddit isn't big enough to be astroturfed... But big companies can do searches... This pla…

I've thought about how little risk people have doing business, but how much risk customers and the environment take by LLC licenses. Or how inflation forces people to grow at whate…

The power of marketing is incredible. No one else could get away with Tesla quality at luxury pricing, but they sell vehicles.

In 40 years kids will be blaming millennials for wreckless spending and ruining the currency. While I like the idea of responsibility, I've mentally given up. The populist demagogu…

Making 1 app is fine. Web or Android, no problem. Both? Double your dev time. React native you say? Double your dev time to learn a weird language. Want to service 100% of people? …

"what do you actually do here?" Why does the FDA get involved in medical equipment? Heck, if there is data, what's the point of spending literally millions of dollars to get approv…

The worst insurance you can get + max out of pocket is 12,000usd per year. 10 or 20 procedures, still 12k. For the 10%ers/6 figure earners, this is 10% of the before tax income. Fo…
