@pulpo404 Whenever I go on holiday in the mountains I take as many of these heli-rides as possible. It’s scary the first time, but you get the hang of it after a while.

Brilliant move by Iran. They are planning to levy a 10% toll on all ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This will generate $73 billion a year, completely offsetting US sanctions and paying for war damages. Checkmate.

Most startups I work with struggle with their Ideal Customer Profile and what it should be, whether it's focused enough, and how to stick to it. I cover those topics in my latest Substack post:

@realEstateTrent I’ve seen people wait in line at tourist attractions for 45 minutes when they could have bought on the app and walked right in

Serious question:
Exactly how large is the “hate apps” population?
StripMallGuy@realEstateTrent
Long line at the airport Starbucks this morning. After using the app and getting my coffee in less than three minutes, I approached someone in line, and told them the app would save them lots of time. She turned, smiled, and said emphatically: “Ya, but I HATE apps!”

@safizaq With AirPods you can run and Zoom at the same time.

The Marina is the most confusing part of SF
why is everyone always running?
sir it’s 2pm, don’t you have shareholder value to maximize
English
@HellenicVibes Well, yeah, for like 10 days a year.
Otherwise it's freaks like me who are happy to swim in 50 degree water when it's 50 degrees outside.

@Ersin0X Fake. Everything on X is fake today. Why do I keep coming to this godforsaken website?

@Darko_Slam @rushicrypto Every health care system has that feature, whether it’s private insurance or government run
English
@rushicrypto More important than not being billed is not being denied the healthcare my DOCTOR prescribed because insurance won't pay for it. Take that 7%! Hell take 8

@rohindhar @Kellblog Real estate is only slightly up. This house was listed way too low, which is why it sold so far over asking. If it had been listed at $4.95 in the first place, you never would have heard of it.
English
Went for $2 MM over asking price and broke the neighborhood record by a million bucks
So that’s the situation in San Francisco
Rohin Dhar@rohindhar
If you want to monitor the temperature of the San Francisco real estate market, track what happens on the final sales price of this home in the Inner Richmond currently listed at $2.995MM It’s outcome will be a good indicator of market sentiment I think😅

@lady_valor_07 When I was 11, at night we'd walk down the highway to downtown Pittsburgh and play video games in skid row convenience stores.

if Apple can make a $599 laptop (MacBook Neo), surely they can make a $299 phone…?

@trai01hl I remember reading about this AI-generating thing that never happened in the news

@Wisdom_HQ The dinner probably had 15 courses, but sure, whip up some engagement.

@samsheffer Imagine if Apple just continued making products, and reducing them by price by say $50 a year, but keep making them, new model adds new cost, old model gets incrmentally cheaper.
English
@EffectPhugoid @C_S_Skeptic @Hoopss They are expensive because their costs are so high. Even at those prices many are unprofitable or barely profitable, which is why they go out of business constantly. Remove the tipping income, and few would survive
English
@michaelrwolfe @C_S_Skeptic @Hoopss American restaurants are WAY too expensive already. No need for tipping.

I don’t like the system either (I’ve spent years of my life in Europe), but it’s the system we have, and if you eat out here, you need to tip. If you don’t want to tip, don’t eat out.
If you want the system to change, support restaurants that don’t accept tips, but those restaurants never last because 1-customers don’t like to see higher prices on the menu and 2-don’t like the idea they can’t reward good service/punish bad.
English
@michaelrwolfe @C_S_Skeptic @Hoopss I'd much rather pay a higher price right away instead of being emotionally blackmailed. What exactly is the "pro" of USA tipping system? Was it the idea that good workers will earn more and bad workers will earn less?
English
@CahillCarla @C_S_Skeptic @Hoopss My point is that the systems are equivalent. The customer either pays via higher prices, or the customer pays via tips.
People who think they’d save money if we had no tips are mistaken.
English
@michaelrwolfe @C_S_Skeptic @Hoopss The difference is that Australia pays their servers a living wage. I know that hard for Americans to relate to, since American employers do not do that.
