Ive never had a problem with app refunds, but for subscription refunds - hell yeah its terrible.

I was double subscribed to a service. Same device, same account, literally within seconds of each other (double tap maybe?). I was billed twice a quarter for 2 quarters. When I raised this their response was (quoting from the email): "We've thoroughly reviewed your case with our Support Team, and I’m afraid to say that we are unable to proceed with the actions requested."

I replied, restating the problem. They did not respond. I contacted them again 2 days later. No response. Again 5 days later. No response. Again a month later - no response.

There is no way to communicate with them once they have decided they aren't going to deal with your enquiry, so I have had to swallow the loss as they are known for blocking accounts who perform CC chargebacks :/
Any idea how to start building and selling this kind of stuff? It’s my dream job. But I’m not charismatic enough to make videos.
If you believe in all of the following,

Model Y, Semi, Truck and Model 3 will being in 5x the revenue, RoboTaxi, Lv5 AV coming in anytime, Tesla has the largest Battery Manufacturing Plant on the Planet, Tesla has 5 years lead in Battery Production, SolarCity taking over Solar Energy production, Elon Musk.....

But Yes... I still dont understand how on earth is it worth $200B.

This is fascinating in a potentially terrible way. In summary: when an image is posted, a reverse-image search is done and top results are scraped then added to a "More like this" section for the post. This ranks highly because it's exactly what Google already associates with that image, except now all in one page instead of across multiple pages.

Applying this same method to other content (blog posts/pages and video posts) would, presumably, also work. The terrible part of all this, is that it would create more junk posts ranking higher and stratifying the word association of that content with the respective search terms. New content could end up having zero chance of ever ranking highly because another factor of result ranking is content age (older content is weighted heavier).

Am I understanding all that correctly?
It'd be even more sobering to figure out where he got this attitude from and how many people attending 'elite' universities share his views, but are not autistic enough to be so brash about it.

Nope. Facebook is full of idle, bored minds in search of stimulation. They used to get that by watching TV. People who are actively engaged in life don't spend a lot of time on facebook.

TL;DR we're SaaS in the automotive space that applies predictive analysis to score customers based on how likely the are to buy a car. We provide that information in a web app for dealers and market to consumers on their behalf with personalized messaging.

We've got a bunch of positions posted at the moment: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/?f_C=3686046&locationId...

Obviously, Facebook does not benefit much from "hate speech". The majority of content on Facebook and the associated advertising/revenues are from other types of content. The broad generalizations made by the Twitter mob and news media about Facebook being 'built' on hate or 'profiting' from hate is hyperbolic. That said, I think it is fair to say that Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and YouTube all benefit from engagement. And engagement is often built on emotion, particularly negative emotions like outrage.

Personally, I wish Facebook would simply not give credence to complaints about 'hate' and only censor content that breaks the law. If someone doesn't like a certain page or group or whatever, they can just choose not to follow them. It is very simple. Therefore, what the anti-Facebook crowd is asking for is not about their own experience. It's that they want no one else to be able to harbor certain views or opinions or even to discuss them. That's dangerous, and the vague and ever-expanding label of "hate speech" disallows conversations that need to take place on controversial topics.

Given that there it is easy to curate one's own feed and experience on Facebook, the motivation of this activist mob is simply to stifle others' freedom of speech. The fact that they are doing it by pressuring a large private organization (instead of a public one) does not make it any better, even if it is legal. It is still unethical and immoral from my perspective, because freedom of speech is that fundamental to our society. Today in the US, there is a ubiquity to attempts from mobs stifling speech using labels like "hate speech". This must be met with fierce opposition in all situations, big and small. If not, it will eventually bleed into more and more of our society. We're already seeing it in absurd situations like Stephen Hsu's resignation (see https://www.thecollegefix.com/scholar-forced-to-resign-over-... or https://quillette.com/2020/07/01/on-steve-hsu-and-the-campai...).
What is unique to some Apple fans, that it's not enough for to merely deny bugs and criticism, they also often personally attack the messenger. Other companies have bugs which they promise to fix someday; Apple doesn't have any bugs or problematic behaviour and it's your fault if you have any issues.

There isn't a thread on HN about Apple without this behaviour. Either this is an unofficial Apple PR guideline or a symptom of cult membership...

Engineers and designers at Kalepa are solving interesting and challenging problems at the intersection of big data pipelines, cutting-edge machine learning models, intuitive frontend apps, and robust infrastructure. You will be working in a small team building technology from the ground up with the latest stack.

One trillion dollars are spent globally each year on commercial insurance. However, the process for estimating the risk associated with a given business across various perils is still reliant on inefficient and inaccurate forms and research. This information asymmetry leads to a broken set of incentives and a poor experience for both businesses and insurers alike. By combining cutting edge data science, enterprise software, and insurance expertise, Kalepa is delivering precision underwriting at scale. Kalepa is turning real-world data into a complete understanding of risk.

Kalepa's team members have worked at Facebook, Google, Amazon, ClassPass, APT (acquired by Mastercard), the Israel Defense Forces, MIT, Berkeley, and UPenn. We are backed by IA Ventures.

But in my experience I have never seen cases where you really save money. The outsourced dev charges less, yes, but the outsourcing company needs to make money. But let's say what was 10 an hour, now it is 5. In my experience is that what used to take 1 hour, now it takes 2 or even 3. In the end, hardly any savings.

While HKers are Chinese, they speak an entirely different language than Beijing that isn't even mutually intelligible.

This is part of the manipulation of the narrative by the Chinese government. It refuses to even recognize that these are truly different languages and calls them "varieties of Chinese" or "dialects of Chinese" when Cantonese or Taiwanese are more distant from Mandarin than the Romance languages are from one another. Then it tries to pretend like there are only a single people in China and is systematically eradicating minority communities.[1]

Thus, Mandarin political domination over other Chinese communities is imperialism at the very least, if not colonialism. Imperialism and colonialism aren't really that different from one another.[2]

Additionally, every group always like to claim the land that they had at their maximal imperial state. But borders change over time. People move around -- even Taiwan was only recently colonized by Chinese in the 17th/18th century in large numbers and before and after that was owned by other empires. Another example is when the Dutch decolonized Indonesia. The Dutch were simply replaced by the new "foreign imperialists" of the central Indonesian government, which the Balinese people and other such peoples of Indonesia considered a different group than themselves.

Furthermore, simply a region has been part of a broader empire for centuries or even millennia, doesn't mean isn't still being oppressed by an imperialist empire. The Russian Empire, Spanish oppression of other provinces and minorities for hundreds of years, etc.

Thus perhaps instead of focusing on the colonialism part we should focus on the imperialism part. The aim should be to empower self determination of a people and enabling them to be free of oppressive, imperial influence.

It's evolved. There was a point that Tom Lane was the last line of defense against anything that strayed too far.

Heck at one of Postgres conferences there was a shirt that said something like "Tom Lane reviewed my patch and all I got was this stupid shirt."

If that's all you wanted, then Apple could have defaulted to a customer-friendly option across the board like requiring a 2nd opt-in to transition into the recurring billing at the end of the trial.

Team size is going to be important to note. The teams I'm talking about are frequently near 10 or more members.

As your point becomes more important as the size gets smaller. If it were all teams of 1 then each time would have incredible bias...

Seems insane to me. For some time its been my opinion that "the markets" weren't connected to any reality I can see. From my hilltop in the woods I don't see far; so that doens't necessarily signify much.

From my limited perspective it sure looks like there's so much play money seeking return that "brand recognition" is the only real reason to choose between one offering and another.

The point is not “raising the vehicle height would be cheap”; it obviously wouldn’t. The point is that one of the key requirements was maintaining the 737 type certification.

You are just arguing what's on your mind without even properly understanding my arguments.

> As for the supreme court judge's comment - they are not all that righteous or infallible.

There is no point in talking about the person. Point me what is wrong in his comment.

> The story of how a merited upper caste lost out to an unqualified reserved caste is another misleading anecdotal argument.

Because you don'taccept that it happens, it is misleading, lol. In NITs/IITs, some people get seats with JEE rankings of 100K, which are otherwise allotted within 10K without reservation. And it is well known that most of people are economically well-off to pay for coaching and study materials (self studying candidates are extremely rare).

Some years ago, a scheduled caste student from a middle class family who got All India Rank 1 in JEE Mains and got lot of publicity got 100+ rank in JEE advanced. If he was a general category student, he couldn't get CSE in IIT Bombay, but he got CSE seat by reservation. Now imagine a person who got 90th something rank in JEE advanced, coming from similar or worse economical background, and still missed the seat in top institution because someone thought that is the way to do reservation.
Carrick Capital Will Acquire Flatiron School from WeWork
Most of the comments have criticized the price point for what you are getting; however, I would say this looks like a great quality of life tool for disabled individuals. If you are wheelchair bound, there are a number of terrains that a traditional wheelchair will not operate on. They even point this out with their rig on beach sand. There are designs that handle sandy terrain [1], but they would not work well on other surfaces.

Without knowing much about the couple's relationship, I would say they are trying to create a design that allows for other outdoor terrains, such as a dirt road. If you imagine a traditional wheelchair design, the subtle bumps and dips on a dirt road would make it taxing for the rider or anyone assisting them. Jerry's Rig tries to mitigate those issues to offer a quality of life improvement so that wheelchair bound outdoorsy people can still be outdoorsy people.

Like codekansas said, people can very quickly scope creep into making an all together badass arm when all the person wants is something to get them through the day.
