AMC seems stingy about giving access to their API. I wonder if this site scrapes data from the AMC website

If every human driver was replaced with AI, this situation would have been fine. All the self-driving cars would have respected the four way stop

I actually really liked the product when I worked at Meta. Wish we had something like this at Google.

What shoes do people here like for walking a lot?

I wish the article would give us the valuation number rather than the price per share.

I built an upcoming IPOs app (https://ipowatch.app/). I monetized by creating mobile apps and showing banner ads there, but they didn't make much.

This is really cool. I've worked on a lot of side projects in my free time, and my most successful one (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1607228378) pulls in just $11 in MRR. Even though it's so little, I get really excited when I get a new subscription or a subscription renews.

I've had a lot of trouble trying to market the app. I've experimented with Instagram ads, but the conversion rates were really bad. I'll try the Instagram accounts strategy you mentioned and hopefully that helps.

Agreed but what is noticeable is how much greater the losses are this year (with still three months to go).

2018: $97.2m

2019: $86.0m

2020: $203.2m

Half a second is actually quite a big deal.

"A delay of less than 100 milliseconds feels instant to a user, but a delay between 100 and 300 milliseconds is perceptible. A delay between 300 and 1,000 milliseconds makes the user feel like a machine is working, but if the delay is above 1,000 milliseconds, your user will likely start to mentally context-switch."
