This is very much how I feel, which is why I've started a dedicated team for this at Wealthfront, with the support of our CTO, our VP of engineering, and our president (who used to be the CTO). My team is specific to the backend but we

Indeed! This is a great example of why it's important to actually measure the things you care about, and not use a proxy or your gut feeling. If you just go by perception, the slower-moving traffic might fool you into thinking the roun

I'm not sure if this is the exact situation you're referring to, but you do get interest sent to you if you later amend a tax return in your favor. Source: I've filed a 1040X twice, both times in my favor (due to my own mis

Here's the latest: "... while rent control prevents displacement of incumbent renters in the short run, the lost rental housing supply likely drove up market rents in the long run, ultimately undermining the goals of the law.&quot

If there weren't rent control, market rents would certainly be much lower, so it's really hard to say whether your aunt and uncle could afford it or not. Surely you weren't basing your statement on the current market rent in

I can see this being convenient. I'm surprised that json isn't one of the output formats for pgcli, given that there are already tons of formats including one optimized for Jira comments. ( https://www.pgcli.com/ )

Check out some newer playgrounds. Now that they have this soft rubbery ground, all the "dangerous" stuff is back! :-) I live within walking distance of two different parks that have all four of what you named, in San Francisco.

"You don't get less hate; you just bury it underground and give them they feeling like they're being persecuted. It will make the situation worse, not better." I think the recent rise in white supremacist violence fueled

Indeed! It's not even a hypothetical in this case. According to the article, Zoom was just 5 days away from letting one of the domains expire when the author told them.

Yes, this is still true, and it's great. Within the songs and artists that typically play on my Pandora stations, it will play similar songs in clusters, with the exception that it won't play the exact same artist twice in close s

Others have already given examples of how languages with 1-indexed arrays handle this without awkwardness: end-inclusive ranges. I'll just add that end-inclusive ranges are the standard in natural language as well. For example: "A

It seems to be mostly about math, with the only mention of array indexing being that 0 looks nicer. "starting with 0, however, gives the nicer range 0 ≤ i < N. So let us let our ordinals start at zero" This doesn't seem t

I think it's just supposed to carry the same meaning as "Denial is not a river in Egypt," which is: hey, denial is a real thing, and you're facing it right now. I'm not the OP but I hope that helps.

Do you mean whole-world maps have Australia in the center? (I assume so, since obviously a map of only Australia would have Australia as the center...) That's fascinating! I grew up in the US and I'm not sure I've ever used a

It depends on the nature of the harm. If sedentary life reduced the typical lifespan from 70 to 50 (which would be dramatic) but didn't significantly affect your health during your 20s and 30s, it would have little to no effect on repr

Exactly, you need to rely on universal truths rather than symbols. The article has an example very similar to yours. They picture a man next to a small tree when he is exposed to the radiation, and then collapsed in agony next to a larger v

Thanks for this tip! I've been achieving this by pointing a symlink at a subdirectory that only exists when the external drive is mounted, and having my backups target that symlink. But this seems cleaner.

That how the conspiracy-minded assume it works because it fits their world view better, but there's little evidence to support it. Insightful finance journalist (and former investment banker) Matt Levine often suggests that the revolvi

Ironically, this "feature" prevented me from getting good access to Google's own services. I was only getting routed to a saturated Google datacenter (the NUQ range, e.g. nuq04s01-in-f1.1e100.net). When I just blocked all tho

I also feel concerts can be painfully loud without earplugs (though I find foam reduces the volume too much, so either we have different preferences or you aren't getting a good seal with the foam). I have the exact Etymotic attenuatin

Yeah, I also struggled to figure out how it went wrong. Mann of course is a strong director, and the actors are (otherwise) quite good as well. Try Hemsworth in Rush, or Wei Tang in Lust, Caution if you want to see either of them really shi

Ah, I did not realize that. Thanks for the info! Still, $250/500k untaxed is nothing to sneeze at. And long-term capital gains are taxed at a lower rate than income for someone who's making $100k.

Holding bonds to maturity vs. selling them and buying new bonds doesn't actually change the financial result. You could equally say "just sell them and buy new higher-yielding bonds and there's no issue," since the resul
