It was a half-baked joke along the lines of "A New York 6 is a Utah 10" or something like that, one of those that crops up in a sitcom every once in a while. Like a silicon valley product, I should have let it develop further befo

Same here! I got the Parthenon five or so times. On the bright side, I know very well now that the Parthenon is not actually in Athens!

You know what they say, a Silicon Valley 9 is a 10 anywhere else. Or something like that.

This is 100% unrelated to the original article but I feel like there's an underreported additional first half. As a bigger runner who still loves to run, the first two or three miles before I have enough endorphins to get into the zen

It's a rural area with limited resources. We drive slow for that turn.

Agreed. I think the newscaster joke in arrested development was a solid demonstration of this point. For those who don't know it, the showrunners would frequently insert a news clip of the same reporter summarizing whatever silly plot

Oh they have invented a successful business model, it's just that it's successful for those in executive positions. The whole C-suite mentality is as successful for execs as it is cancerous for everyone else.

That's not what OP said, though.

We got an ipad mini for my kid(s) and regularly leave it unplugged for weeks at a time, sitting on a shelf until we've got a flight or long enough car ride to justify bringing it out. I did that the other day and after not charging it

It speaks to motivation generally, I think. Most people just want to be able to take care of themselves and the people closest to them; they (and this includes me most of the time) don't have the bandwidth to think beyond paying next m

I did it for a few years after I graduated. It paid about a 10% premium over what other dev jobs in the area paid, and you never had to do anything super technically challenging, but you were pretty much at the whims of the sales org withou

To be fair global entry is the greased skids of US customs. It's meant to be more efficient.

You keep saying I’m in a bubble. I read the Vance bio, and the Isaacson one. I came away with very different opinions of him. At least the Isaacson book didn’t leave me with the taste of boots in my mouth.

I don’t hate him. I think he’s a sad, small man who makes himself feel big by being a bully and faking technical experience and knowledge. I think his fans confuse being in the right place at the right time in possession significant capital

Honestly you could have just saved us all this time by stating you're a hiring manager up front. I appreciate your optimism regarding the nature of these postings, but I've seen at multiple companies them doing exactly what they d

I hope not, I'd rather have fewer narcissistic sociopaths in the world. He only cares about himself and what people think of him. Nothing he does is to benefit other people. He's not Iron Man, he's Lex Luthor. I guess people

Honestly, I saw this and was very interested to learn how they actually solved the problem. Cool that OP did it! Bummed that they weren't willing to share how they did it.

> not a new kind of life itself? In my opinion, this is more a philosophical question than an engineering one. Is something alive because it’s conscious? Is it alive because it’s intelligent? Is a virus alive, or a bacteria, or an LLM? B

I think the primary difference is shaming someone for behavior that impacts others and shaming someone for behavior that is none of my business.

Calling the comments on the meta post ‘vitriol’ is a bit on the hyperbolic side don’t you think?

The singular they has been common in English for almost four hundred years. If gender is unknown or irrelevant to the sentence, then they is completely grammatically correct. If you're trying to make a political statement, then I think

On the one hand, congratulations on building something, OP. On the other, this kind of tool is going to be the death of online networking/social media. I already was able to barely stand LinkedIn, but since every influencer on the plat
