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.

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.

crenwick | 3 years ago | on: Revenue is easy, profit is harder

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.

crenwick | 4 years ago | on: As an investor, why is crypto so hard to value?

The author is a value investor, which is an out dated death cult among equity investors at large. You’re spot on to question his importance of measuring equities via dividends. He also places value on metrics like P/E, which has never (“never”, like since the start of the US stock market) been an indicator of a strong stock.

crenwick | 4 years ago | on: Judge in Fortnite case holds Tim Cook's feet to the fire

I agree that it's a fundamental problem and anticompetitive behavior but I don't think it's as clear of a court case as this Epic v Apple.

Users don't need to install the Amazon iOS app, instead they can use Safari where they can buy books and ebooks directly.

Games like the ones Epic makes, however, cannot run in Safari. They are forced to go through Apple store and play by Apple's rules.
