tannedNerd··on Marijuana users more prone to infections after knee, shoulder surgeries
or s/he could be in a country or position where for whatever reason it is prohibited, or could be see as admitting to a crime as no where in the US had legalized weed 44 years ago... I have zero problem stating that I am frequent user but I also have the benefit of only every smoking with a medical card and have never frequented a black marker dealer, so what is your response to me? Still want to tell me im evil and smoking the devils lettuce?
tannedNerd··on My next Mac might be the last
Yeah iMessage has a pretty great tie in with iPhones to the point that they don’t even have to be on the same network to send an sms from your laptop via your phone.
tannedNerd··on Ask HN: Stripe holding funds for 120 days for no reason
He’s not wrong. The length of the reply doesn’t make it good or worthy when most of it is wishy washy we’ll do better in the future we promise without any concrete steps to make that happen or metrics to prove so. In fact I would say he’s doing a bad job by the amount of stripe fucked me posts here recently.
tannedNerd··on EPB launches America’s first community-wide 25 gig internet service
Good for you? The majority of the world is on a fraction of that, much less the US. It just became easy to get 2 Gbps in some parts of the USA while others you max out at 25 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up. This is very much good news to everyone else.
tannedNerd··on Got a rejection for mentioning Apple pre-release software, but I am not
After being an iOS dev for 10 years now, I would gladly deal with the franchise tax board over apple App Store review. Government regulations are set out to the be followed to the letter of the law. App Store guidelines can be tossed aside because a reviewer didn’t like your tone. I’ve had at least two dozen App Store rejections that were magically approved the second I mentioned going to the press about discrimination.
tannedNerd··on General Motors Streetcar Conspiracy
I mean you are also ignoring the externalities that had effects on lobbying power like not being able to set their own fares, might have effected the amount of money they had to lobby?
tannedNerd··on Thousands of classic Polish films, etc. made available for free online
This is one of my fav polish comedies. If you want to go down the rabbit hole, this list is pretty good place to start. https://culture.pl/en/article/knee-slappers-polands-most-bel...
tannedNerd··on Memo to Students who have been Disappointed with their Test Grades (1999) [pdf]
I think it’s pretty fair. I think it’s easy for a professor to send a memo like this and not be able to retrospective enough that maybe students aren’t asking because he/she isn’t good at answering those questions or explaining those concepts well enough.

This whole pdf screams this obviously is the children’s problem not mine.

tannedNerd··on SendGrid CS:My suspension is my fault for being sick Fri and offline till Mon
Some context here: I got an email to confirm some info from send grid at 2 am on Friday morning, was offline that day due to some medical issues and per doctors orders was out till Monday morning. Is it just me or is the fact that sendgrid gives one business day before suspending accounts ridiculous?
tannedNerd··on Should Freelancers Offer Free Trials?
Ya, I shared this around with my other free-lancing friends and we all had a good laugh.

Makes you realize that a lot of success is luck with timing, as even those that have sold/done an exit tend to be talking out their ass about most things.

tannedNerd··on Tesla Model 3 owner catches guys replacing car parts after renting it on Turo
It’s very likely the warranty is voided and there is diminished value to the car now. He could easily push a destruction of property/vandalism charge.
tannedNerd··on Tesla Model 3 owner catches guys replacing car parts after renting it on Turo
Restitution to the owner for a potentially voided warranty and bricked car?
tannedNerd··on Tesla Model 3 owner catches guys replacing car parts after renting it on Turo
I’m confused where in the world you live where someone could have potentially voided your warranty and destroyed a 50,000$ car and you wouldn’t want restitution? You would be completely fine with this situation???
tannedNerd··on Rocket Mortgage to trim 8% of workforce as home-loan market shrinks
You are making the assumption that they are also not overly strict for w2. Ive found that if one is not willing to budge on one thing its usually like that across the board

tannedNerd··on Rocket Mortgage to trim 8% of workforce as home-loan market shrinks
And now your company you invested is worth half because they were too strict on loaning and have entered the death spiral where they aren’t bringing enough new loans in and fold or get bought out for much less then your original stock price.
tannedNerd··on Rocket Mortgage to trim 8% of workforce as home-loan market shrinks
Eh I would agree with OC. If they got flagged up on something as small as that they are going to take a massive hit when the applications really dry up later this year. That means 1 of 2 things will happen. They will decide to massively swing towards the other direction panicking and taking on loans they never should have aka 2008. 2) They keep losing out activity and market share decreasing their stock price to a point well below where she/he bought making it a bad investment currently. Neither looks great from an investors stand point.
tannedNerd··on Never hose out a Honda Element
I had one and remember hearing the rumor but seeing how run off from snow would pool I never believed it. Still one of the best and most utilitarian cars I ever owned. Beach day, snow day, moving it did it all. Especially with the fold up seats!
tannedNerd··on Amtrak is streaming an empty railroad on Twitch
I think the easiest solution would be tie all infrastructure funds railroads receive with the delays Amtrak incurred on their tracks due to freight trains. Do it to many times and you lose out all funding for the rest of the year.

Trying to block Amtrak from services should automatically incur a funding pause for those tracks.

Cool article, have you done any other apps?

tannedNerd··on Oberlin College Loses Its Appeal, owes $31.2M for defaming a local business
I do think this was the correct ruling and applying maximum damage was the correct remedy. Oberlin still thinks it was correct in allowing and encouraging employee to libel and defame another entity and even cancel contracts without compensation.

If anyone thinks this way about Student Free Speech you have to have willing and purposefully choose to stick your head in the sand and ignore the fact that school admins acting in their official role and on the clock for Oberlin joined in these protests, even supplied material, and broke contracts without paying the penalty required by the contract.

tannedNerd··on Ask HN: I want to make a native UI for macOS. What do I use?
Swift UI is the way forward but still not fully developed

Mac Catalyst is the current probable best way, but is looking long in tooth as SwiftUI gets all the love

AppKit is the old way but unless you want to relearn a bunch I wouldn't recommend it

tannedNerd··on Oberlin Colleges loses appeal in suit filed by local bakery
" this is a troubling ruling." No its not, there are limits to free speech and those limits end at slander and libel. The university pushed statements as fact that were proven to be untrue and libelous in court.

"This absolutely chills speech; public groups must now censor the actions of their individual members or find themselves liable legally for their ostensibly protected 1st Amendment rights."

If the admin hadn't joined in an official capacity handing out flyers, canceling contracts, and posting libel to their own website there would be no case about the students protesting. Workers are still free to do this on their own time, but the second they do it as a part of their work, then the public group should be held responsible as that group has now made a public policy decision.

tannedNerd··on Oberlin Colleges loses appeal in suit filed by local bakery
Yup the issue at stake isn't the fact that the student body senate put out those statements, it's that school administrators endorsed them and acted upon them. If the student senate had passed the resolution but Oberlin had not canceled contracts without compensation and admins hadn't handed out flyers there would be no case.
tannedNerd··on Ask HN: Tech Salaries and Wealth Inequality
What companies are you hearing offering 300k for non senior?
tannedNerd··on The YC Winter 2022 Batch
100% correct. I would love to see more detailed breakdowns of each founding team. % of elite vs non elite college, public vs private, how many founders are first gen immigrants, etc.
tannedNerd··on The YC Winter 2022 Batch
Ya it’s pretty obvious whenever I see LatinX that they have zero Latino/Latina representation inside the company.

I would be intrigued though has YC ever formally come out and said they are looking to increase diversity and thereby decrease the amount of Asian and White male founders they accept each batch?

Also why does YC not report on LGBTQ stats for their founders then? Surely they are also underrepresented in the Startup world as well.

tannedNerd··on Google cancels Google Play publisher account and ends family’s source of income
So then a different google subsidiary with no clear connections will file the suit next. Also if google wants to do something or ruin someone a few million dollar fine isn't going to deter them one bit
tannedNerd··on Google cancels Google Play publisher account and ends family’s source of income
At the same you don’t think google is big enough to hire lawyers to file n-1 the amount to get fined or punished frivolous lawsuits against you and keep rotating lawyers?
tannedNerd··on Apple launches the first driver’s license and state ID in Wallet with Arizona
I mean the easy solution is the keep a back up hard copy in your lockable glovebox, or just a cable for your phone which I imagine is already in your car?
