I'd love to do this. The context switching between doing development and then sales is so freaking high for me that I basically had to dedicate a specific day to just doing calls and the rest of the days to only doing dev work.

I'm in the camp that I'd rather hire the right person to do the job better than me (in sales) and focus where I'm most strong in instead.


Broke my arm a couple years ago in the US - total cost for me out of pocket after insurance was around $5k.


Wake Up, Shower, Devotions / Gratitude Journaling, Gym / Workout for 2 hours with trainer, Shower, Breakfast, Work Day.

I realized for me that the only time I can work out consistently is early in the morning. For me, journalling is also a non-negotiable. This means I have to wake up a lot earlier (5:30 AM), to get everything I need to get done. This means I also need to be in bed by 10:30 if I want to get the sleep that I need.


CHM has been my favorite to visit every time I'm in the area. I do wish they would have more modern stuff though. Especially the period between 90s to 2010s. There are some parts (first iPhone, Palm Pilot), but I wish they would continue because the internet age has been incredibly important.


This is really awesome. There's several platforms that intentionally gate keep their API and it makes really annoying to build integrations with them. How do you go about these platforms and not breaking their TOS?


Thank you! There are definitely platforms that intentionally gate-keep their APIs. A good example is LinkedIn, which many companies still try to force-build their own integrations with. Our goal is to allow each developer to make their own informed decision regarding the policies of the platforms that they're working with. For our hosted service, we want to prioritize use cases where the end-user truly owns the data. We can also refer to legal precedent cases where many other companies make unofficial APIs.


I don't think it really matters to them. As a provider giving access to these platforms, they're not the user (and they didn't agree to the terms). the end user did, so it's on them to decide whether they risk getting terminated or whatnot


If they have deeper pockets than the user, they're the ones who will get sued for abuse they enable.


Love the design of the robocab. Assuming production looks something like this, can’t wait to see it IRL.


Looks very similar to the Volkswagen XL1, including the butterfly doors, the lack of a rear window, the color, the front and rear lightbars, and the overall shape and two seater layout. But I love it.


Looks like VW sold 250 of them (ever) for $125k a piece.

Tesla will apparently be selling it for $30k before the end of 2016.

I’m super curious about the induction charging rate! The robot they showed cleaning it was also pretty interesting.


Bold to assume it will go into production.


Just like the cybertruck, this is a concept car that will never be sold in real life


It’s amazing the shared delusion that my entire family participates in. My kids somehow get driven by a vaporware FSD to school every day in a car that I was told will never exist let alone be allowed on streets.


It's a slick design, but unless it's expected to be used in very limited scenarios, the lack of a control surface (or even how Tesla expects to build an OC) for edge cases is worrying.


An emergency joystick would be pretty cool. Actually, a joystick to give the driving AI input would be great too. "Maybe squeeze a little farther left here". "Slow it up, the road is sketchy here". "It's safe, drive faster".


I expect that the general handling of edge cases for any control-free robotaxi is that you call for emergency services, or an Uber, depending on severity.


The control-free stuff they're rolling out is generally being trialed or used on very narrow routes - roads where they've even built mild infrastructure to make it easier for AVs.


Love the fastback look. The curves in stainless look way nicer than the angular cybertruck. (viewing online, not in person)


Where does my luggage go?


The back opens up to reveal a huge trunk that can store lots of luggage. They showed it during the livestream. Pic here https://x.com/sawyermerritt/status/1844583051449467202?s=46


You can if you attend one of the next 10 annual Tesla robotaxi announcements.


In my neighborhood, practically 1/3 of the houses have a minivan. Sienna is the popular choice compared to the Odyssey. Buying one brand new has been a challenge, we were put on a waitlist and eventually settled with a used one instead. By far one of the most comfortable family vehicles we own. It's extremely practical, fits our family of five comfortably with car seats and all, little kids can get in and out without assistance. It's awesome. It might not look cool but at this point in my life, it's not something we care about.


On a related noted - does the "Report Junk" button do anything on iOS? Is there any verification that something happens when you press it?


It does send the message and number to your carrier (and I think Apple as well). With AT&T, you can also manually forward the messages to the short code 7726 (it spells SPAM), but that functionality is integrated into iOS and Android so you don't need to manually do that.

https://about.att.com/pages/cyberaware/ni/blog/forward_7726

AT&T does say that they take action based on the reports, but I think it can be difficult because spammers can rotate through numbers pretty quickly and they don't want to block things based on a few reports.

For example, lots of people report marketing email as SPAM, but Google can't just block emails from the Gap that are complying with all the regulations around bulk email and which most receivers aren't reporting as SPAM.

But yes, those reports do go somewhere and they do try to take some action based on the reports. However, SPAM is a hard problem, especially for a communications medium that's meant to be near-instant.


I always wish Apple would respect the "report spam" button, but they do not seem to from my experience.


And why is that option sometimes not available?


The author should put the context which would help understand the situation better instead of a pitchfork.

> Couple days ago he [Matt] posted on X that wpengine has similar revenue to automattic, yet doesn’t contribute back to open source as much as they promised to (5 hour per week per employee or something like that). A wpengine employee replied to a post saying that management doesn’t allow them to contribute to Wordpress open source because it doesn’t align with KPI targets. That employee got fired the next day. That’s when Matt’s issue with wpengine escalated. [1]

We use them as signage devices. It's been extremely reliable, especially with providers like YoDeck.
