Of course it's performative. They're all presumably on Apple devices. They literally went to their settings to disable auto-capitalization to make some kind of ridiculous point, i.e. "I'm too important too think about capital letters".

The refusal to simply capitalize the first letter of a sentence is so obnoxious.

You should see if you could make this an extension to overlay on Zillow

I would also throw money at a 14 pro max and 15 pro max version.

As someone who did choose to get the latest booster despite being a young male (highest risk group for myocarditis I believe), we should always be questioning what we put in our bodies.

Your kid is 3x more likely to be struck by lightning than kidnapped. Literally.

I went to an Ivy League (recently, graduated in last 5 years). This describes me to a T. Started out in CS, dropped to a libarts major because I felt like I couldn't keep up with my peers.

I still work in SWE, and began doing it in HS when I was 17.

Partner and I discuss frequently that I would have been better off somewhere else.

rec.gov is one of the least shitty government websites out there.

With the GS pay system, we cannot expect to get decent technology out of our government. This is sadly the best alternative.

This is truly awesome. Been using hacky scripts for this purpose for a while – seeing a more formal solution is very exciting. Kudos. Also, would definitely pay for this, FWIW

$120/year I can't... YC has a lost it...

Yes

Yup, just got it. Thanks.

How do I get started? I put in my email like 10 minutes ago and have received nothing...

uoflcards22 | 5 years ago | on: We'll be stuck in this recession for years, economists say

I trust this about as much as I trust my horoscope. There is a reason economists are scolded left and right, and it's because of ludicrous claims like this.

uoflcards22 | 5 years ago | on: The world should think better about catastrophic and existential risks

Just read Nassim Nicholas Taleb's "The Black Swan" if you want more thinking about this topic..

Thanks for this. Very fun and motivating to read.

it's being super super slow for me, otherwise, cool idea

uoflcards22 | 7 years ago | on: Google rescinds candidate verbal offer due to low GPA

You realize GPA is a relative, not absolute, metric, right (i.e., a 2.6 is considered ok for engineering students at top universities)?

uoflcards22 | 7 years ago | on: ‘I Don’t Really Want to Work for Facebook.’ Say Some Computer Science Students

I'm at university right now and have a ton of friends in CS (I was previously as well), and I can tell you the overwhelming majority are more than ok with working for FB.
