GitHub's reliability has gotten pretty terrible since the Microsoft acquisition, well before ZIRP ended.

Generally agree with your point, but not sure I'd call 312 EV and a 1.6% margin a "landslide".

The point is that the Fed isn't classifying those things. "Ordinary" includes all primary mortgages, whether for a modest home or a luxury pad. It includes all personal car payments, whether for a shared Honda or a Maserati.

The phone tree stuff on Pixel is decent but nowhere near 100% reliable or robust. If it hears and understands an automated system speaking out a phone tree, it will start to list the options and you can tap on them. Usually works but often

You captured some of the ideas that have been swimming around in my brain for a little while and really crystallized them. Couldn't agree more.

I think for a lot of founders, there is significant financial cost or opportunity cost upfront. Especially if you are bootstrapping.

Maybe but hallucinations become a real problem here. Even with publicly available API's that are just slightly off the beaten path, I've gotten full-on hallucinations that have derailed me and wasted time.

That's great internally, but serious external communication with customers should have a name attached and responsibility accepted (i.e., "the buck stops here").

Isn't the whole "Flutter team layoffs" narrative somewhat debunked at this point? My understanding is that some positions were cut and some were moved, but no more than any other engineering area at Google.

Just to be really clear since I had to call the IRS tax hotline the other day... they are real experts over there. And generally, people will tell me, "I'm not sure" or "I don't know". They won't just star

How do you login to iCloud without any second factor available?

Probably not a lot. It needs to have a fixed length on the wire, and having 100 updates to the radio firmware for any given model of handset... not likely?

Wouldn't you still need to provide an amount of power to the laser that's not currently feasible for a watch?

Yeah, good point. This would probably be better received overall if it were a per-artist minimum rather than a per-track. On the other hand, that would make it pretty trivial for garbage/AI content distributors to circumvent.

First off, it's not strictly true that medical debt won't show up on a consumer credit report. Medical debts that are in collections will eventually show up, if they are large enough. Secondly, it's still a legal debt. That m

Article states "threshold of 1,000 plays in the preceding 12 months". Sounds like you're well over that, at around 3-4K plays per year.

Yeah... unfortunately it seems like "problem with major company, can't get support" has become an entire genre of HN post.

UPDATE (2024-03-26): A business development manager at Meta saw this post yesterday and escalated the issue internally. They provisionally unsuspended our account this morning. This afternoon, the collections team confirmed that they rece

Thanks for the heads-up. Exploring other channels now. We can't risk having the account shutdown for 200 days (or even 30).

Thanks. I'll update here if/when I can.

You're probably right. We can hopefully get back the money, but there's no getting back the lost revenue. Missed the wire cutoff for today but guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow.

That's a really good point and suggestion. I'll reach out to our attorney. (grimacing at the cost as I write this)

It's not possible to pay by credit card again — just get a generic error when trying to open the payment form. So it would have to be by wire transfer, for which there are no chargeback protections.

Thanks Paul, appreciate it. Still trying to reach out to anyone and everyone.

It's truly a bummer. I posted about this in a Meta alumni group, and here's a couple different responses that I received: > Same exact situation. Millions in spend. Jumped over to TikTok. > Nearly every time I interact with

I'm definitely considering it but trying to make sure we fully, thoroughly exhaust all other channels. Totally agree that it wouldn't be "reasonable" to permanently suspend our account for a chargeback in this scenario,

I do, at somewhat medium scale. My experience was similar to other posters here, where we ran into production issues that were incredibly difficult to pin down. If you'd like, you can attribute that to lack of Erlang experience or skil

It's not at all a technical limitation here. The cockpit voice recorder will record 25 hours in the EU and only 2 hours in the US, and that's been the case for years.
