It’s not consumers, it’s developers getting ripped off. In theory the price stays the same, Apple just can’t steal 30% anymore

its actually 70-90% water. it matters because water is very heavy, and whats left over will be dramatically less after it dries out.

its a large amount of waste, but its not 150lbs of solids

Not sure I agree. When I first saw the 1st gen iPhone I was so impressed with it, I went out and got one a few days later. This is before the App Store. Yes compared to today it might “suck” compared to the latest version, but the first iPhone was super compelling by itself at the time and started selling very well

What is a shader?

you also need to pay to install roads and utilities

At one point in time people probably said the same thing about employer provided health insurance, and now it’s expected. Tough to get good talent if other companies are providing better perks

in theory yes, but if you own a home with a lower mortgage rate, are you really gonna lower the price of your house, so that you can then buy another home with a higher rate? you may just stay with your lower rate

Why 2018?

How does an LLM help you do the dishes?

if you have a specific task at hand, it may be easier to buy a team that works well with each other and has expertise in a certain area to accomplish a specific task. not expecting them all to stay on forever

naming things

react is a rendering engine, not a framework; there is no opinionated way to fetch data.

react-query is a delightful library that has made data fetching/cacheing a breeze for me - https://tanstack.com/query/v3/docs/react/overview

if the empire fails, what are you gonna do with gold?

I’m a business owner and use Quickbooks online and a couple years ago they just flat out changed how they calculated taxes. When I reported the bug they just kept repeating how I could completely change my process to make it work, like they had released some new feature. But they really just broke shit, and refused to ever acknowledge it. There’s no way I was the only person reporting this. They obviously don’t care

typically the FDIC only insures the first $250,000 deposited in an account, but in the case of SVB they said they would cover all deposits

nice work!

Not usually all selling off 25-30% of their shares

i own a one wheel and it will occasionally just stop, and not at full speed and power.

i love riding it. but it has happened a few times, and only takes once for you to not trust it

if an e-bike shuts off, you slow down. when a single wheel dies, you fall down

my mom says, "don't yuck my yum"

As a business owner, Apple doesnt make it easy to update hours. There’s a whole approval process, so even if I wanted to update them if we decide to change day of it won’t be reflected in the App

As an app developer, I’m not aware of any API either. Google has a My Business API where I can integrate to update my business info/hours

Call your bank and ask them what the interest would be for a line of credit equivalent to the loan amount for that car, over the same period

an unsecured line of credit is going to have a higher interest rate than loan backed by the collateral of the car.

also, people tend not to default on their primary vehicle (they need it to get around) so its a less risky loan, hence the lower interest rate

his exemption was based on the fact of him having the virus and being recovered. But based on the twitter thread they are suggesting the positive test happened after the negative test.

no means no, maybe means no, yes means maybe

When they save of bunch of taxes they have done what’s in the best interest of the company

but half the time the headline is "X Company beats expectations, stock slides anyway".... unless these are super outliers, it seems like the effect on the stock can be random

thanks

got it, makes sense, thanks

that's strictly for reimbursing an employee for an expense.
