A quick search show plenty of solid hotel choices under $350 during the week, in fact plenty of good choices around the $250 mark you mentioned.

You can touch up an old car because they were not made to crumple when hit, which makes them pretty unsafe.

More so commenting on that many Californians will notice the impact of wildfires, regardless if they are in an area prone to wildfires.

In the US, the majority of people (even the majority of Republicans) support policies for fighting climate change. https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2020/06/23/two-thirds-of...

This ignores the impact of wildfire smoke on people, which affects a much larger population.

Mocking protestors feels a bit like punching down. They're just regular people trying to do anything possible to wake people up. Not their fault those with power seem to be doing very little to change things meaningfully.

Twitter and Reddit for some reason get a pass from Apple's App Store Guidelines on this. It seems unlikely any other app will be able to have as explicit NSFW content as those two.

There's already a handful of well known companies providing that. It wouldn't surprise me if Clubhouse was built off of one of these APIs already.

I can't imagine the benefit of sleeping in the office, especially as a PM. What is a PM doing around the clock to help ship any feature beyond helping morale?

They're probably in meetings, while a fraction of their time is actually spent doing work.

Actually this predated the IPO even. A reply reminded me that it actually started getting bad around 2018.

As a One Medical customer, the experience post IPO has been awful. Hard to get appointments and less and less MDs available with incredibly high turnover. I wouldn't say their interests are aligned with mine at all, but agree the customer data being in Amazon's hands isn't great.

You have a domain someone wants to buy for millions of dollars

They're testing features to let you "reset" your algorithm to improve content diversity. But even without that kids spend over 80 minutes a day on TikTok.

They don't gravitate towards it. The algorithm inches them towards that. It starts with exercise videos and healthy eating, which is fine, but eventually goes towards eating-disorder content. Similar for boys.
