When was this? East and East2 had a lot of quota constraints due to tax season. That should be diminishing now that tax season is over though.

Doesn't Tesla have an open patent philosophy? I've heard Musk say that if someone builds a better electric car and it causes the end of Tesla, he's fine with that.

This is just absurdly false. What basis do you have for this claim?

I'd be happy to talk to you more about this. I manage a cloud team, oversee a sizeable budget, and have a lot of experience optimizing cloud spend (along with startup/unicorn/mega corp experience). The play is, like what othe

I thought the PIN was the issue. Can't op just do a pw reset, wipe the phone and log in again?

I absolutely love it! Thanks for making it so simple and clean.

Totally get it. If you're into it for a few k to install, that's one thing. To me, the total costs for this seem a bit high. Who knows, maybe with scale things get cheaper. I'm definitely not their target customer, despite wa

Same thought as well. I recently self installed an 18k BTU unit. The lines came pre-charged, but I wanted it to be run exactly to length. For someone to come and do just that part (cut, flare and vacuum/charge the lines) cost me just $

It would be an interesting way to cover a lot of ground and see the world. I don't think I'd personally would want to do this indefinitely though. Cost wise, it seems to be on par with bargain cruise costs (from what I remember).

I think you're going to find HN to be against most rent seeking forms of "investment". There's a lot of hate on landlords, for both good and bad reasons. HN isn't on the friendlier side of the spectrum.

I would welcome this, but won't skeptics say that remote work was also touted as a huge benefit and companies are now looking to go back to office? I can see the same thing happening with 4 day work week.

I stopped getting cavities when I stopped rinsing all of the fluoride away after brushing my teeth. If you wish to rinse, do so after a few minutes. I told this to my dentist and he said he wished that was more common knowledge, yet he&#x27

Thanks for sharing! I had no idea this was possible. I think this makes things much more interesting.

Would those "happy" customers lead to more word of mouth though? Not everything has to be a gimmick, right?

I would argue that engineers should look to build some of those capabilities into the app itself. So many users want the ability to solve their own problems themselves. Obviously don't allow them to reboot servers, etc. But if it'

Also a note about the dangers of cracked software. There could be malware, viruses, etc. The value becomes much smaller to use something that could ransomware your system. Then, cracked software becomes free advertising!

Ha, I'd say rearchitecting is fun and incident response is not fun. I think there are parts of the process that people enjoy over others and that's based on many factors, personality, company culture, managers, coworkers, process

How is testing done in kernels? Is there unit testing, integration, end to end? I'm unfamiliar, but curious.

I don't know why, but stuff like this (e.g. the Apollo moon lander assembly code) is really interesting to me. I think it's because I wish I had this kind of knowledge and skill. It seems daunting to wrap my head around it and bec

The write up was super clear and easy to follow. Thanks for the insights, context, and explanations! Oh, and the technology is cool too.

> If you can afford a $7 latte, they argued, why are you bristling at a $1 tip that would help your server? If I worked there, I would have more issue with a place charging $7 for a drink and not paying it's employees fairly.

Good find. Thanks! A lot of the other points made here also make much more sense. I stand corrected.
