gotem··on Capital One to acquire Brex for $5.15B
Yeah it's actually been quite horrific how many (albeit rare but severe) payroll payments, rent payments, or large scheduled vendor payments we were a day late on because of the moronically dumb transfer rules. We also had minimum balance enforcement and even then it would often somehow magically screw up.

Or having to double login to Brex to first do a transfer from treasury and then wait hours to then login and schedule the ACH.

Anyways will never use Brex again after all that annoyance.

I thought you were being sereis but it only works for 1 image at 0z
gotem··on Canon CR3 Fileformat
Wonder if one day we will be able to store files using 0 storage. Complete compression.
gotem··on The war between Silicon Valley and Washington takes a new turn
Makes you wonder if who has the power knows whether the power or not will stay for quite a while.
gotem··on Sam Altman on Free Speech
If Sam had the ability to censor any comment would he censor this one? Just an interesting thought experiment.
gotem··on A Marxist Analysis of the iPhone (2019)
Yes, it’s incredibly silly and ridiculous. It’s no coincidence that most of the people I know in real life who support socialism also agree with the statement “We’ve already invented everything”.

Meanwhile we are still in the dark ages technology-wise.

Let me know when a worker cooperative assembles the next iPhone from scratch.

Why don’t supporters of socialism assemble worker cooperatives and prove to us they can innovate?

gotem··on Lindsey Graham on Trump Twitter Ban
When I click the link it just opens Twitter. Phishing?
gotem··on Twitter appears to have removed the president's last two tweets
Accident? Twitter needs to fix their infrastructure if so.
gotem··on WhatsApp gives users an ultimatum: Share data with Facebook or stop using app
Which turned out to be a bunch of hyped up marketing talk. Why does every person in SV I know seem to love the narrative that we’re being mind controlled by micro-targeted FB ads, which to be fair is what I used to believe.

Everyone on HN switches between “ads don’t work and targeting is BS” to “ads are manipulating our entire country by taking our data”

gotem··on Alibaba founder Jack Ma is lying low for the time being, but he’s not missing
Possibly true
gotem··on We Built a Facebook Inspector
We get mad at FB for spying and then we spy on FB? Fighting fire with fire?
gotem··on Raw AWS credentials being sent to Serverless.com
Wonder if this move will reduce immoral behavior by companies in the cloud if they know their actions are public. Seems perhaps a bit too far but the intentions could be good.
gotem··on Jim Keller Becomes CTO at Tenstorrent
Great hiring move. As someone familiar with Tenstorent after reading that article, I’d just like to say that I agree that the critical members of the company all have backgrounds in silicon design. Really excited to see where they go.
gotem··on Third of rivers in US found to be changing from blue to green and yellow
Hmm. Didn’t everyone say the icebergs melting would add to a positive feedback loop of not reflecting sunlight -> more ice melting -> absorbing more sunlight -> repeat?
gotem··on Third of rivers in US found to be changing from blue to green and yellow
This is really bad. However I wonder whether it can help stop climate change. Dark blue rivers absorb sunlight whereas a yellow or white river would reflect sunlight.
gotem··on Startups should say what they mean
Fair point, although anecdotally I’m not sure my startup would have gotten to where it is today had we not integrated blockchain and some ML into our sales pipeline. Customers seem to be fascinated by it, especially enterprise ones.
gotem··on Surveillance in the Name of Covid-19
A step in the right direction. We could’ve saved hundreds of thousands of lives worldwide with better contact tracing.
gotem··on A Startup Is Planning Pig-to-Human Organ Transplants This Year
Is there cross comparability yet?
gotem··on Show HN: I Built a Swipeless Tinder Prototype Using iOS 14's Vision Hand Pose
I forked the repo and am still single
gotem··on Rolling out driverless cars is “extraordinary grind” says Waymo boss
Shocked that food companies have not gotten into the driverless car space yet. Seems like Chick Fil A could vertically integrate well by acquiring a company like Waymo or DriverAI.
gotem··on IBM and the Holocaust
Wow did not know this.
gotem··on Who's at the Helm?
What is NPM?

Nuclear Protocol Magisty?

gotem··on How was your government today?
Somalia wow. We have a lot to leatn
gotem··on Google’s iOS apps haven’t been updated in weeks, as of December 8
Maybe we will see google and IOS merge to help consumers
gotem··on US to auction off parts of Arctic wildlife refuge to oil drillers
Interesting how it’s good for energy production but not for the environment despite the environment producing energy.
gotem··on Google Employees Form Union to Push for Changes
Isn’t HR already basically acting as a union for these workers?
gotem··on How to Find Profitable Business Ideas (2018)
If this really true then why not is the person rich yet
gotem··on Telegram publishes users' locations online
Nope. I think they should probably ask for one at signup. Would also reduce their server load if people only used 1 account instead of making 2+
gotem··on Telegram publishes users' locations online
It’s a good first step but not enough. I was scammed a while back on Telegram and wish I had been able to also see the persons real identity to recover my money. Location is not enough to go on.

Perhaps TG should publish an API to allow people to see any users government ID if they are scammed.

gotem··on Google/Fitbit Will Monetize Health Data and Harm Consumers
Besides money why would Google want to do this? I can't see a single possible motive besides money which is leaving me scratching my head.
