I love his podcast.

Tim Sweeney is an asshole.

Police in SF aren’t available to just show up with no delay. Too much crime. Source: I live in Oakland and my partner got jacked this year. 911 said fill out an online form.

Wtf is that even supposed to mean? Fuck off.

I guess in two years I’ll eat my words. Not really.

I saw something a few days ago where they were said to have mass-replaced the name of the software with their new name (in the code). Supposedly, little or nothing else changed. Y Combinator used to be better than this, at least I thought they were.

Don’t their drive-bys involve machetes?

I believe this can be done without signing a pact.

As others have said, keep finding and building projects for yourself. Maybe get this book if you don’t have ideas of things you can build: Exercises for Programmers: 57 Challenges to Develop Your Coding Skills

Oh, ok.

I’m sorry, I don’t think I understand what’s happening here…

It’s four journalists who broke away from their former employers and started their own thing. It’s ok to charge money to run a business. The quality of their work is top notch.

Also, we’re in beta

That means there might be a few hiccups along the way. If you run across any problems you can always let us know, and we’ll do our best to fix them.

I would have thought this is a disqualifier in terms of quality of the service, but if that’s acceptable to you then I’m glad you got something that works.

The only sensible way to operate these TVs is with no internet connection. We run our entertainment through an AppleTV. If that ever starts showing ads at rest, I’ll replace it with a Mac mini or a NUC. Fuck these companies and their race to the bottom.

Agreed, and well-articulated. I think you (OP) need to ask yourself whether you’re willing to pay the appropriate market rate for the service or not. I don’t know what that is, but I expect it’s higher than you’ve expressed.

Time to throw your phone out the window.

Excuse me, but everyone knows that was antifa. /s

I appreciate how it has developed into direct satire, though.
