7-digit rich in SF is essentially any homeowner

Wait, I thought it was psychedelic drugs. What did the dormouse say, anyway?

How often do you see two guys carrying a washing machine?

Even better, a privacy.com card for each subscription!

I think I fall into this camp of parents. It was cute but my kid definitely grew bored of it. I keep hoping that it will pick back up, and maybe it will.

Nobody wants to install an app?

Personally I'll only install FOSS apps on my phone and I go out of my way to actively discourage (to varying degrees of success) my relatives from installing arbitrary junk that they surely don't need on their phones.

I always avoid apps if I can.

But yeah, that comment is a bit disconnected to majority of the population.


I’m not saying that I disagree personally, but for most folks, installing an app does not cross any line in the sand

i always downvote anti-app luddites whenever i can

> I always avoid apps if I can.

Okay.


We’re not normies, so take that with a grain of salt. Here’s mine: apps have access to significantly expanded capabilities which has privacy implications. If I can use the browser for a given app, I do it. Amazon for example.

As a native app writer, this has been my experience.

Mentioning it here, though, tends to get pushback from folks that write Web apps. They don’t want to admit that native apps have more capabilities than Web apps; even if that’s a bad thing, because of security risks.


lol I was going to say this too! I think the inverse is true: nobody wants to install a PWA

I have a handful of 3rd party apps on my phone and none on my computer. Prefer to just use browser.

If it requires Play Store, I will only put it on my work phone.

Yeah that’s a weird comment. I don’t want a PWA. I want a normal app. Users want apps.

Is that like Lyft and Uber?

Mathing that backwards, you’re saying L5 makes 250k/year? That seems very low for Senior.

After paying tax, rent, food, retirement savings, etc, you will have a million in liquidity sounds like more than 250k/year.

Your housing, childcare, food, and even taxes are $0? Wow dude.

No idea what Dutch company you’re alluding to. FWIW my guess for cutting edge chip tech is TSMC.

ASML

The comp is really good.
