This is also the case with Apple wired usbc headphones. Probably the phone software and not the adapter.

Reminds me of when Android phones used to do the same with analog audio jacks.

Website summaries are useful -- the only reason I keep the feature enabled at all.

I ride Amtrak monthly, this is not true. Like every other train, ticket checking always happens while moving.

I really appreciate that you took the time to clarify this. I was surprised by parents comment about needing auth twice but they seemed confident. Honestly worried I have apps with auth gaps!

But what you wrote matches my understanding. I have some routes that are pure LiveView and some that go through controller routes with HTML, and it was clear to me where I needed auth when I made them.

Congrats on the launch. Great read.

Is there any rough infrastructure cost comparison?

Excluding the cost of engineering effort, which I understand is the major pitch.

I think you’re right on most accounts.

Yes, articles like this seem rudimentary to folks with MBA/accounting backgrounds.

Yes, tech startups can get millions in seeds funding, even where the company doesn’t have a CFO (or anyone with an MBA).

However, at those super early stages for sw startups, it doesn’t really matter. The money is to finance a product, prove the product’s value, and build a team. And its that journey where that company may start looking for a CFO.

By the time that company is raising a series A, they should have these things worked out.

For one, its built right into the UI so you can generate a name and save it in the bitwarden username field in the same motion.

Also, the password generator isn't configured to work for the use cases here (adding your email or a catchall, using less characters, no special characters, etc.). That way you can still sign up for accounts that require email verifications.

IIRC that was a DNS issue, which is why it took down all the Meta services. In other words, the WhatApps Erlang servers were probably happily humming away.
