Adobe has upped their scumbag strategy recently. I needed to use Acrobat for one task, so I signed up for a free trial. Of course, I forgot to cancel it and got charged $15. I then went to go cancel my subscription completely and found that they wanted to charge me a $30 early termination fee on top of that!
That's what I thought too. Honestly, this hardly changes anything at all from how Market Street currently operates in this section. You hardly ever see any passenger cars using it, other than rush hour. Already today, 90% of the traffic is buses and taxis, and even taxis are rare.
Cheap Chinese products have been causing issues in the vape industry for years. It used to be knockoff batteries exploding, now we're seeing the harmful health effects of whatever cheap materials they're using to manufacture the coils.
The industry needs to be regulated, not outright banned.
I went from Sublime Text to Atom, then back to Sublime, as Atom was painfully slow in large projects. After a short break from the tech world, I came back to find that VS Code had taken over, and I couldn't be happier. It "just works" and offers a great experience out of the box.
How does something like this get accepted into YC? I get the whole "bundling and unbundling" thing, but this is just one Meetup group with its own website.
I hope everyone understands that this list and Forbes in general are a complete joke. I know people who have been on the list, and while they're nice people, they didn't really do anything besides either having connections to the people who make the list or being in the right place at the right time/lucky.
As for the publication, almost anyone can write for it. Calling yourself a "Forbes writer" is one step above a "Medium writer".
Your copy is really bad. I have no idea what your product does after looking at the website. Maybe I would if I watched the video, but I'm not going to watch the video.
I was going to comment something very similar before I saw this.
Speaking from the candidate's perspective, as someone with performance anxiety, I abhor live coding sessions. Best case, I'm thinking at an impaired level due to the anxiety. Worst case, I can't think at all and freeze up completely.
Therefore, I absolutely love it when companies offer a take home project. And you're right: I'm probably not going to do it unless I'm really interested in the company.
I'm actually going to be doing one this weekend, and I don't mind spending 4-6 hours on it, because at this point in the interview process, I'm really excited about potentially working for this company.
How unbelievably stupid. After years of progress, we've finally gotten to the point where e-cigarettes are not only a much less disgusting alternative to smoking, but they're also equally satisfying and more convenient. If they end up being banned completely, it will just push the market underground and we'll go back to homemade/cheap Chinese mods and questionable quality juices.
There should be regulation and safety testing, not outright bans.
Isn't a huge part of the housing shortage in SF due to the zoning policies that prevent builders from building more than 2-3 stories in something like 80% of the city?
