This is just what’s known, now. Actual amounts could easily be 10/20x or more.

That’s too bad. It’s the one thing I really enjoyed from shopping Whole Foods, they are taking away. The checkout experience with simply scanning palm to apply discounts, pay and just walk away has been very seamless, especially compared to

In all seriousness you need to be looking for a new job. Like now! Because you and your role will be next in line to cut. The good news is you have management experience now so you may be able to land another Manager level at a company that

This comment is framed as if Chinas dictator regime is seeing US as any different. China (and Russia for that matter) had plenty of opportunities to collaborate with rest of world, instead they decided to pursue their own imperialist shenan

Really curious how this gamble is going to play out for GM. CarPlay compatibility is in the top of my list when deciding on a new vehicle. I’m sure they must’ve done some analysis but I feel this will backfire quickly, given how much value

“YC asking for bailout” was a much more honest title than “Urgent: sign the petition now”.

It's not uncommon for companies to "clear house" right before close of acquisitions, especially on exec level. However I don't believe it's for the reasons you mentioned (saving money). Instead it's likely to b

Right, they had this big mainstream push with being the first Homekit partner with a failed hub, plethora of non-core devices and multiple failed apps. I think they got ahead of themselves going into this mass market and should've stay

There’s no need to use Insteons hub/cloud service. Most Insteon power users that I know are using homeseer, homeassistant as a way to control the devices. The other good thing about, at least the light switches (which is their core pro

Having gone through two twin pregnancies (where the odds of these tests being correct are especially low) we declined all of them. Anecdotally, I know of several parents who had a positive test for genetic disorder, went ahead with the preg

You must be kidding or willfully ignoring the atrocities committed by Russia just in the last decade or two (occupying Crimea, Afghanistan, wars in Chechnya, Georgia and likely Kazakhstan sometime soon) or China (Uyghurs). All in the sole

Awesome project and 500 km range is a cool achievement! Kudos to OP for all the effort and research that went into this. I’ve run into the same issue that standard battery packs on eBikes are just not enough. The problem is not so much need

Not sure I understand the appeal. It’s still a derailleur, isn’t it? Lots of (higher end) bikes moved to internal hub systems like Rohloff [1] that have proven to be very reliable, maintenance free and (other than higher upfront costs) are

This! Putting down 20k on a house in my late twenties was one of the best investments I’ve ever made. I was especially surprised so many of my peers who had no clue that’s how little it takes to get into a mortgage. Of course, assuming you

My twins were born June 2020 and all my immediate family (parents, brother, etc) live in the EU and haven’t been able to see them (nor their other grandkids). Not allowing tourists to come visit I can get behind but splitting up close famil

(Current green card holder) I was scheduled to have my citizenship interview in early April that got de-scheduled. On USCIS website it still says I’m scheduled to complete the citizenship process in August, which seems unlikely. Do you have

This is exactly what the Russian government would want you to do with this: question everything and everyone. You seem to at least admit that you were unable to verify some outrageous claims that the US has planted evidence against Russia.

Great looking website! But... I hated it. As soon as I opened it the fan on my 1 yr old Macbook Pro started spinning like crazy. As I scrolled down, so many things were animating it made my head dizzy. I fully understand the need to stand o

Same can be said for keys on a keyboard you rarely use but why not have it there for that one time you need it? I for one, don’t want to be going through menus just to adjust my steering wheel - especially when I already started driving (wh

Ahh the NIO - a car that was announced back in 2016 that no one yet has seen in production form, let alone driven. Unfortunately, the EV startup market (especially in China) seem to only be good at building slick websites showcasing vaporwa

IMO what you describe can be summarized as a UX problem. Those things are there but it takes time and effort to find them, usually hard to figure out and therefor not adoptable by the masses. It's much easier to sign up for FB and star

Looking back, growing up in/near Delft was probably one of the best experiences in my life. Being able to get anywhere in our smallish (100k population) city within 10 minutes (and usually less) by bicycle had some great advantages whe
