>The people that expect you to maintain retardedly formatted passwords with stupid character mixtures, and expiration/re-use rules are obstacles, and I like making them as miserable as they make me.

The person on the other end of the phone had nothing to do with it.

It would help if they just moved near a Caltrain station.

See: what Google is doing in SJ.

From someone who stopped eating beef a few years ago, it’s the first fake burger to satisfy my burger craving, and none of the others come close. Maybe if I were still eating real burgers I’d know what I was missing.

Prop 13 severely curbs the ability of local governments in wealthy parts of California to offer improved public services.

Most everything described as “AI” these days involves training data of some kind.

FYI, tons of people have turned down offers from Google, worked there and quit, or never wanted to work there in the first place.

Frequently, the rental car facilities are some distance from the airport, and the airport is just gatekeeping a bus service to the off-site rental facility. I don't think that land that facility lies on is a very scarce resource.

Having a driver meet you with a car at the terminal is a much better experience IMO, whether it's a taxi, a Lyft, or a rental. If the pickup area is too congested, the airport should address that problem directly with a toll to access that area. A targeted ban that happens to help incumbents in a particular industry doesn't seem like the best way.

Driving is work for me - I don't want to pay extra to do work. Also, a lot of the time you need to ride a bus to get between the airport and the rental car place, which is often a slower and generally worse experience that Uber or Lyft.

Any particular reason you want wood? I've found the folding metal frames you can buy on Amazon to be fantastic. Cheap, easy to assemble, super stable, no creaking, minimal profile, lots of under-bed storage, easy to move.

It’s a car, not a plane. Why is the definition from aviation more relevant than the definition from science fiction (which also happens to be closer to the plain English understanding of the phrase)?

Prop 65 lawsuits are a money-making venture. There are law firms that specialize in bringing these cases and they collect tens of millions of dollars in settlements each year.

And if your gifts are less than $15,000 per year, you don’t even have to report it. So the vast majority of gifts are not supposed to be taxed or reported.

I definitely got it within a few minutes of logging into Facebook from a mobile browser, which is not something I normally do... maybe someone was trying to log into your account?

Interesting... completely unrelated to the recent issues, a few months ago, I wanted to log in to Facebook from a mobile browser so I could follow a link without installing the app.

I also ran into a challenging captcha and a page saying my account had been “locked”, but I was still able to log in. After logging in, I received a phone call from Palo Alto. When I let the call go to voicemail, it left a message consisting only of a recorded voice saying “goodbye”. Perhaps this was some poorly-implemented two-factor auth, but in context, I felt like Facebook was intentionally making the experience of using a mobile browser unpleasant to encourage use of the app.

Sounds like the delete your account page has similar “issues”.

From my experience optimizing signup funnels, it made me wonder if somebody is doing that work in reverse here. Are they getting a bonus based on what percentage of people abandon the account deletion process?

Maybe I’m just being paranoid, and optimizing those flows is simply not a high priority. But for a tech-focused company that tends to operate at a pretty high level, it felt like they are actively making things more difficult. Like this was the shittiest experience bright minds could come up with.

It will be interesting to see how Spotify’s direct listing does.
