    This is interesting and cool for entertainment, but it's extremely hard to picture using this as a replacement for an architect. We're building an ADU right now and the floorplan d…

    Do you ensure you have enough personas in the desired target area to get enough survey responses? Are there demographics you are not able to simulate at this time?

    I'm a little surprised by this comment because both dev mode and variables are the main ways I use Figma. Our design team creates the design and then the Devs use dev mode to imple…

    You're right that there are definitely some bad actors for cancelling subscriptions, it's really crappy you've had to deal with that! I once had a recurring charge from rackspace t…

    When given the choice, I will always subscribe/pay/book directly with the company rather than use a 3rd party. If something goes wrong it's always easier to only need to deal with …

    Do you have any tips on good screeners or places to find these SPACs? I've never invested in them yet and don't know too much about them. Are they traded just like regular stocks?

    100% this. I made a pretty large costco order with instacart yesterday and expected to pay 15% in fees and tip, but when the order came I saw the store receipt and they overcharged…

    Unless you happen to have a magic crystal ball, it's a purely speculative gamble. Nothing about tsla's price is rational right now. The people who shorted yesterday probably though…

    All of the University of California schools (except for Berkeley and Merced) are on the quarter system. I really liked the quarter system. It really felt like professors couldn't w…

    What's the solution for unloading your car after a costco trip? How do I load my car for a camping trip? How do I unload lumber for my DIY home improvement projects? This project s…

    I had to build a hotel booking platform on Amadeus a few years ago and it was a nightmare to work with their API. It would frequently break or start returning differently formatted…

    Of course there are exceptions, but most homeschooled people I've met have displayed some sort of social deficiency. I wouldn't support a blanket statement that the solution is mor…

    I really enjoyed my public education, but I realize we happen to have very very good public schools in my city. I'm sorry your experience was so bad.

    I would be super stoked if I could find a house to buy in SoCal and only have to spend 50% of my income!

    Sleep tracking would be cool, but don't most users charge their watch at night?

    Are there tax benefits to exercising early? Hypothetically say I have some options with a pretty cheap exercise price, and I think the company will be taking on PE money in the nea…

    Yup every time I use my older personal laptop at home, I'm reminded by how much shittier the new keyboards are. They sound terrible and I never end up hitting the correct arrow key…
