This is very much expected while the kinks are worked out. The reason Waymo is rolling out their vehicles in Atlanta in partnership with Uber is precisely for scenarios like this. …

I was hoping the project would be like Twitch Plays Pokémon when I read the headline. Build the scaffolding and just let it run!

If they relocate engineers to Palo Alto, that's halfway between San Francisco and San Jose. And a lot of engineers (not necessarily at X but in general in Silicon Valley) live in t…

This was me with Neeva but they sold out. I fully expect Kagi to do the same unfortunately.

They didn't actually launch anything though. And self-hosting is also a real pain. There can be reasons but I seriously doubt many IT departments yearn deeply for the on-premise de…

A very foone Christmas!

I remember Steve Jobs explicitly forgoing ads for iCloud during his last keynote in 2011. So sad to see where Apple is today. https://youtu.be/KTrO2wUxh0Q?t=412 > We build products…

The worst part of this is how the Mobile Web experience is actively hampered on iOS by Apple. When web apps on mobile do have a worse experience for me, it is often due to Safari. …

For SF specific data on housing and zoning I highly highly recommend http://socketsite.com . Such a thorough and great resource! I only wish more cities had something like it!

This! I don't doubt that Bolt still requires a lot of work and honestly the 4 day work week is probably more marketing speak than anything real. But the world (at remote companies …

It got worse during the pandemic. All policing stopped and downtown became a free for all. When I moved to San Francisco in 2016, I constantly had to reassure others it’s not as ba…

Also worth noting that AWS is not exactly the most stable either.

Any chance going through the process of updating all my cards could earn a Cashback key? :)

I thought this way until I realized I personally value portability over simplicity of signup. Most apps I use often I use on my phone and laptop. When I had an iPhone, I ran most s…

I thought this until I tried an app with IAP and wanted a refund when it didn't work for me. The developer told me they had no way to issue one on their side since I went through I…

There is so much corruption in this city the trash cans are an entertaining artifact of a much, much deeper problem. The quest for trash cans isn't bizarre when you consider where …

Mask mandate for everyone who isn't the mayor. https://www.sfgate.com/bay-area-politics/article/London-Bree...

A native app from the ground up in 10 weeks is impressive. Now I want to know how Superhuman has gotten away with not having an Android app for so long, and what on earth they coul…

Raising prices. Even with higher prices they will still be relevant in much of the country where there is no credible alternative than to drive.

NYC is exceptional. Manhattan is dense enough you can hail a cab on demand. The same can not be said for the rest of the country. Uber may never be competitive in Manhattan but the…

Uber operates in almost every major US city today. It has overcome years of predictions it would fail. Yet I still can get an Uber in minutes almost anywhere in the country. Will i…

This is magnified by the fact that Apple won't allow competing rendering engines on the iPhone. If you could install Chrome or Firefox (the actual browsers, not just re-skinned Saf…

And Google Workspace still doesn't play nice with Google Home, Photos, etc. I used to pay for GSuite and switched back to Gmail because of all the services I was ironically locked …

Autocomplete is a black box. Trying to build a form that consistently works with Autocomplete is basically just trial and error. There should be a standardized API for this. I unde…

I think your comment is solely calling out Americans' singular focus on cars as transit but I wanted to make a tangentially related point that Americans care deeply about accessibi…
