This is just what’s known, now. Actual amounts could easily be 10/20x or more.

That’s too bad. It’s the one thing I really enjoyed from shopping Whole Foods, they are taking away. The checkout experience with simply scanning palm to apply discounts, pay and j…

In all seriousness you need to be looking for a new job. Like now! Because you and your role will be next in line to cut. The good news is you have management experience now so you…

This comment is framed as if Chinas dictator regime is seeing US as any different. China (and Russia for that matter) had plenty of opportunities to collaborate with rest of world,…

Really curious how this gamble is going to play out for GM. CarPlay compatibility is in the top of my list when deciding on a new vehicle. I’m sure they must’ve done some analysis …

“YC asking for bailout” was a much more honest title than “Urgent: sign the petition now”.

Serious question: what is this magical place you work at?

It's not uncommon for companies to "clear house" right before close of acquisitions, especially on exec level. However I don't believe it's for the reasons you mentioned (saving mo…

Right, they had this big mainstream push with being the first Homekit partner with a failed hub, plethora of non-core devices and multiple failed apps. I think they got ahead of th…

There’s no need to use Insteons hub/cloud service. Most Insteon power users that I know are using homeseer, homeassistant as a way to control the devices. The other good thing abou…

Having gone through two twin pregnancies (where the odds of these tests being correct are especially low) we declined all of them. Anecdotally, I know of several parents who had a …

You must be kidding or willfully ignoring the atrocities committed by Russia just in the last decade or two (occupying Crimea, Afghanistan, wars in Chechnya, Georgia and likely Kaz…

Awesome project and 500 km range is a cool achievement! Kudos to OP for all the effort and research that went into this. I’ve run into the same issue that standard battery packs on…

Not sure I understand the appeal. It’s still a derailleur, isn’t it? Lots of (higher end) bikes moved to internal hub systems like Rohloff [1] that have proven to be very reliable,…

This! Putting down 20k on a house in my late twenties was one of the best investments I’ve ever made. I was especially surprised so many of my peers who had no clue that’s how litt…

My twins were born June 2020 and all my immediate family (parents, brother, etc) live in the EU and haven’t been able to see them (nor their other grandkids). Not allowing tourists…

Here is an accurate depiction of mumble rap by Snoop Dogg https://youtu.be/g0OdmRtuQew Warning: lots of exercising 1st amendment in the above video.

(Current green card holder) I was scheduled to have my citizenship interview in early April that got de-scheduled. On USCIS website it still says I’m scheduled to complete the citi…

Link seems to password protected for me(?)

This is exactly what the Russian government would want you to do with this: question everything and everyone. You seem to at least admit that you were unable to verify some outrage…

Great looking website! But... I hated it. As soon as I opened it the fan on my 1 yr old Macbook Pro started spinning like crazy. As I scrolled down, so many things were animating i…

Same can be said for keys on a keyboard you rarely use but why not have it there for that one time you need it? I for one, don’t want to be going through menus just to adjust my st…
