That’s great. Fun memories! Simple but exciting

I’ll waste a few moments. It becomes a puzzle. Assuming you managed to make it through the maze, you retrospectively analyze where would 99% of the country have dropped out of the flow and given up?

Then it’s an email to the attorney general if necessary! (I mean that’s been rare but when something is egregious)

Dang am I supposed to be dreaming?

mm businesses where continuity is really important might love this. Hire enough people so that everyone works 12hr shifts but don’t schedule anyone enough days a month to trigger additional costs

Great point that it’s a start

Ya we don’t all learn very early about blind not being absolute maybe unless specified

Gosh imagine profound deaf + totally blind, glad someone cares to design for folks

Braille on a smartphone screen?

How cool is it that someone figured out some digibraille?

A magnifier app with normal sized UI controls?

Guess they’d be huge if the person had their display settings blown up. Maybe farsighted folks would want it normal sized.

Lil bit of a stretch huh

I’ve heard folks stretch it before, wonder if it’s a thing now but IDK

The best part of this company. Will they directly profit from this? Maybe but maybeee not. There’s a chance someone actually cares there, someone with some sort of power I mean. (Obvy you can easily argue this is in their longer term financial interests)

Yeah they’re anticompetitive etc. but damn this is cause for a smidge of celebration.

If I was responding to this email on o365 my autocorrect (LLM) would probably immediately insert “OK thanks for letting me know” because that’s how I responded to a similar email last times and then I would press send and immediate ctrl+w to kill the tab and get back to my task, maybe 5 seconds of total effort

Illuminating example!

lollllll

Or a traffic jam!

hehe yeah, do you think they at least adjust routes to commercial points of interest if 1000 people navigate somewhere and e.g. always stop a block away from where the map said? or always make a right when the map told them to take a left (but the city planted a tree there)?

one of the big players hasn’t tried to offer some sort of premium map subscription

Would we have to lose these great features?

Incredible

The base M1 MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM was the woooooorst once I got a couple browsers open or something.

M1 Max MBP with 32GB of RAM was an overcorrection… but friggin unstoppable and recently cost half of its MSRP

16GB minimum pls OP justttttt in case! Hehe you’re def gonna find a deal, refurb or w/e, on whatever you choose!

@[email protected] read that so then wondered about the besties in high school who claimed its veracity

Seriously?!

Because life is better that way! It’s much nicer to live in a safe, walkable, integrated, and prosperous community than it is to live in a walled compound surrounded by ghettos.

💯

Selfish rich people should be properly selfish and make the world better so they don’t have to be grossed out by poors. Or worry about heli skiing becoming impossible one day. Be selfish richies!

Hey economists love VAT I hear?

That’s a newer one and it’s still a death trap? Sigh.

Ah-mazing for private property etc. though!

I’d love to see the state of autos in the US flipped on its head.

None of us want to be killed by the Ford F150 ,000,000.

Are you right about them being unsafe? Timestamped this crash test vid here for y’all. Older video but sticks in my mind.

And we’ll never know, selfishly speaking, the possible extent of his further contributions to society. Died at 26 after an incredible life already.

Besides his life, what else did they steal from us?

(Reposting my comment from last year)

We’re all on the same page in this thread so far. If we weren’t, we could simply supplant Jobs with a less divisive character.

Then, we’d be unencumbered in appreciating the simplicity and beauty of this unavoidably inherently spicy email. Love this one!

Another with a backstory I won’t spoil:
