> bicycles ... has made us increasingly weak

This is pretty difficult for me to buy. Cycling has been shown time & again to be a great way to increase fitness.

GitHub's reliability has gotten pretty terrible since the Microsoft acquisition, well before ZIRP ended.

Generally agree with your point, but not sure I'd call 312 EV and a 1.6% margin a "landslide".

The point is that the Fed isn't classifying those things. "Ordinary" includes all primary mortgages, whether for a modest home or a luxury pad. It includes all personal car payments, whether for a shared Honda or a Maserati.

The phone tree stuff on Pixel is decent but nowhere near 100% reliable or robust.

If it hears and understands an automated system speaking out a phone tree, it will start to list the options and you can tap on them. Usually works but often doesn't recognize that a phone tree is happening. Other times it recognizes the phone tree, but mistranscribes the options.

As a non-deaf person, it's a handy UX improvement. But I wouldn't recommend that anyone rely on it.

You captured some of the ideas that have been swimming around in my brain for a little while and really crystallized them. Couldn't agree more.

I think for a lot of founders, there is significant financial cost or opportunity cost upfront. Especially if you are bootstrapping.

Maybe but hallucinations become a real problem here. Even with publicly available API's that are just slightly off the beaten path, I've gotten full-on hallucinations that have derailed me and wasted time.

That's great internally, but serious external communication with customers should have a name attached and responsibility accepted (i.e., "the buck stops here").

Isn't the whole "Flutter team layoffs" narrative somewhat debunked at this point? My understanding is that some positions were cut and some were moved, but no more than any other engineering area at Google.

Just to be really clear since I had to call the IRS tax hotline the other day... they are real experts over there.

And generally, people will tell me, "I'm not sure" or "I don't know". They won't just start wildly making things up but stating them in a way that sounds plausible.

How do you login to iCloud without any second factor available?

Probably not a lot. It needs to have a fixed length on the wire, and having 100 updates to the radio firmware for any given model of handset... not likely?
