This kinda reminds me a bit of Retool, a SaaS tool I've used quite extensively since a coworker used it to build analytics and customer service data dashboards. It's great, but their mobile layouts kind of suck, so maybe there&#x2

I wouldn’t say that. JetBrains is incredibly bloated and has significantly less community support. I’ll agree on Teams being crap though, mostly for how dumb it is that they’ve rewritten it multiple times and created a confusing slate of we

the military gets what it wants in DC, and the pilots were too comfortable and on different radio systems (helo can’t hear airplanes and vice versa, air traffic control is their intermediary) A disaster waiting to happen in retrospect. Simi

What’s your method? Having had some former coworkers that ended up at various dating platforms, dating is fascinating, I still think dating is something that needs a better modern solution than what “the apps” offer. Every dating app has a

It’s useful to travel. I’m on a bit of a creative renaissance myself. If you’re ever in Los Angeles or California, give a ring!

I briefly worked with folks in this industry. They’re generally underpaid and under resourced.

Let's recap the past: Taxis were borderline unusable in almost all American cities before Uber (except for NYC) I certainly didn't love their ruthless business practices, but let's not delude ourselves and admit that Uber or

Agreed. I was a longtime listener since I had fond memories of my dad listening in the car growing up, but it’s borderline unlistenable now. Emblematic of the drastic change this generation in the aims of journalism, where everything in pub

You’re still cherry picking, though. Leukemia and certain cancers were often a death sentence as recently as 1990. Now the survival rate over five years is like 65%+ You can cherry pick a lot of data, but in general the trend line of lifesp

A few things: - I've had an electric car for 5 years now. My car has been significantly less maintenance than any I've owned. How is that throwing it away in a landfill? If you're concerned about waste, think about the amount

Sounds like the same thing to me. Incentivizing something that is unintended.

Not true. They were definitely intended to plow right through cities. That’s why they built highways/freeways right through urban cores, or planned entire metro regions around them.

Weird complaint because it says a lot about political dysfunction in American society when a (mostly) self-driving car costs about $40,000 but a reasonably decent house in those cities where those cars are built cost about 15-20x at around

When I was a child in the early 90s, the likelihood they gave my mother to survive leukemia was slim to none. It was essentially a death sentence. And she died. Now if you get leukemia in 2023, it's something close to a 70% survival ra

This is complete technical hubris. You're effectively saying that the "truth" problem with AI is solved by letting it guess. Which is probably a fine enough answer, but doesn't actually "solve" the problem at a
