Facebook disabled the ability for my customers to sign into my app via their Facebook account.

They had given me six days to add a Privacy Policy button into my app (my website has it, and my app's metadata has it, but apparently they require a button in the app UI itself, which I didn't have).

I told them I would add it, but I needed more time, as getting an app update out with only 6 days notice the week before Christmas is impossible (I have 5 apps that use Facebook login across 3 app stores, iOS/Android/Amazon).

They told me I could request an extension, which I did do multiple times, but the extension was not granted.

Anytime you want to mute a channel, just click the three dots to the lower right of a video and select "Don't recommend channel"

> we’ve heard from our partners making $2M, $5M and even $10M a year that their services are still on a path to self-sustaining orbit.

What does this even mean? "on a path to self-sustaining" makes it seem like they're not currently self-sustainable. Given the crazy profit margins in software, I find it hard to believe that most apps making millions per year are not sustainable.

I'll be interested to see how SpaceX tries to get the word out to rural Canadians once it launches. None of Elon's current companies have had to do any traditional marketing yet, but I suspect that they'll have to for this.

I think what you're missing is that Tesla's Autopilot is not done. It's clearly labeled "Beta" when you enable it in the car.

The goal of Tesla's Autopilot is to take you from your garage to your parking space with zero input. Therefore it's exactly the same as a plane's which takes you from runway to runway.

Just because it's a work-in-progress doesn't mean it's named wrong.

> If they ever do deprecate something people have built on though they're gonna get absolutely crucified.

They do this all the time, and they get crucified every time. I built a Google Hangout App and a Chrome App, both of which were platforms eventually shut down.

This is where the meme came from, and it's why I personally stopped building on top of Google products. A 1-year deprecation policy is no assurance to me if I plan for my app to live longer than that.

I recently had a client ask me to pay them with Transferwise. It was a horrible experience. After weeks of trying to get it to work, even with the help of support, we eventually gave up and used bitcoin instead.

The Transferwise website was horrible. It gave error messages and kept telling me to fill out some field that didn't exist. After sending screenshots to their support team, they just sent me back links that didn't work.

After several back-and-forths with support they eventually fixed that issue, but then on a later step the website told me to upload "the documents" and gave an upload control. I carefully read every piece of text on the website, and nowhere did it explain what documents it was asking me to upload. It wouldn't let me proceed until I uploaded "the documents". I sent screenshots of all this to the support team and they didn't know what documents I was supposed to upload either.

Eventually support helped me fix that, and I got to a later step, where it asked me for the username and password I use to log into my bank. I am not comfortable providing this to anyone, so I refused. This was the last straw that finally led to me giving up at using Transferwise.

Most auto production lines don't need EV-size batteries. The post above specifically says batteries are the bottleneck, so it isn't really evidence that something is "terribly wrong"

The view numbers surely get used during contract negotiations, though. When a movie's contract runs out and Netflix needs to figure out how much they're willing to bid to renew it, they'll look at the view numbers as one factor in determining how much they're willing to bid.

So even if there isn't a per-view payout, I'm sure the view numbers do contribute to the studio getting more money.
