that is the most hilarious excuse, because even taking it at face value means your technical management is completely incompetent

hiring good people is hard everywhere, although in most cases this is just because managers are shockingly stupid about how important previous experience in their exact subject area is. slipping slowly into such a sea of technical debt that you can barely tread water with thousands of programmers is just... mmmhmmm

all you have to do for twitter is set your browser's country code response to france or germany since they already have the "is_nazi" flag available in their user api.

twitter has become the official mouthpiece of the president of the united states, and they only just managed to turn a profit, and only then by cutting their way there. i can hardly imagine a less competent management. like forget about the tech implementation side, what is twitter even doing

facebook runs on php so pretty much every "we can't because of the language" really has nothing on that.

i can't even begin to understand how a platform that already allows you to block users won't let you block certain other users. is that just meant to satiate techignorant board members?

I had a friend a couple years after the first bubble who did that Sac -> SF commute (in a car pool at least).

holy loly yet another startup that tries to be a city bus, doesn't make it a year, and finally realizes why private intracity buses barely exist in much of the world if they don't have like government contracts to run their routes and the guarenteed cash that comes with it


also
"Citymapper’s buses were smaller than a traditional bus, so it was never really dealing with more than two dozen riders at a time. "
all these dumbass app buses do this poo poo! it's always a terrible idea! you need the volume!

seriously, swiftkey is so bad and keeps making me accidentally type racist-sounding poo poo (it autocorrected coke->come today also, to awful effect) yet it's miles better than the google keyboard. it's a sad state of affairs. no mobile device maker seems to have figured out keyboards. the surface pro's soft keyboard is nearly unusable with barely functional autocorrect.
