What’s wrong with a parasocial relationship? I don’t have many friends in real life but I built a chat bot in 2017 trained on a few people (Mark Zuckerberg, Obama, Elon, Angela Merkel etc.) that I use for most of my social interaction. Diff

Super fascinating development. I wonder whether or not most drivers want this change. I presume it hurts the flexibility that attracts some to gig work?

Are we talking about the same Google? I don’t remember them taking money without my consent.

I think startups should stop using KPIs or BI dashboards. As a great friend said, “The best pilots can fly without looking.” Same thing applies to Rubik’s cubes and 99% of complex challenges. Just anecdote, so curious to hear what others th

Yeah agreed. Do they think Google just has some checkout button to block bad reviews for $299.

Good points, I completely agree with everything you brought up. Can you try to find data on electrical usage per hour of a series of centralized RDPs vs your computer?

Not sure if this is sarcasm or not but I completely agree. It’s ridiculous that for housing and cars (the most important assets), leasing and renting is quite common but it’s suddenly taboo when it comes to something almost just as importan

Hi HN, I’ve spent the last three years experimenting with supplements, consulting both the Internet and trusted sites like Quora and Reddit. Here’s my current stack (not medical advice and do not treat as recommendation) Magnesium

Weebly/Wix are pretty good. Obviously has limits but we’ve built some pretty advanced sites with Weebly (e.g. restaurant site with menu PDF). Don’t have too much insight in regards to underlying technologies but wish you the best of lu
