"Once in the Lake Lure area on Saturday, Seidhom said he first landed at the nearest airport and met with multiple law enforcement officers and first responders to coordinate communication channels with them and to find out what was ne

So how should the pilot have known who to contact, if even the assistant fire chief wasn't aware of who was in charge of coordinating volunteers? I agree he was probably having a stressful day, but if his default response to stress is

So if the official who threatened arrest was the "correct" firefighter to coordinate with, why didn't the official incorporate him into the larger operation rather than threaten him? I think the most likely answer is a small

Sounds like it was actually the assistant fire chief who threatened arrest (from what I've seen on twitter)

This is really awesome - just had my first kid, and I think I’ll do something similar. Well done OP!

So is the idea that you create commands that call different HTTP backends? Do the backends need to support the user-input-as-header stuff, or is this translated to call arbitrary HTTP backends? Please give some more info about the use-cases

To be fair - most people, like 99% of people, do not understand monetary policy or any of the potential tradeoffs.

Yeah, I think you misunderstood the situation :) - Japan raised their rate from 0% to 0.25% and cut back their bond purchases in a move to strengthen the yen, at the same time the dollar got weaker. The Nikkei tumbled because many large co

The “carry trade” is borrowing one currency (yen) at a low rate, swap it for a currency that is more expensive to borrow (usd), then use the expensive currency to buy assets (bonds, stocks, whatever). The difference between the yield you ge

I'd guess that people who were doing the YEN/USD carry trade overwhelmingly used the USD to buy US tech stocks (for the same reasons anyone else would). Now that the carry trade is unwinding, they have to sell the stocks to cover

This really sucks for OP, but my first thought on seeing yelp was: "People still use yelp? I thought it was widely known that they suppress bad reviews for money, and suppress good reviews if you don't pay." Yelp's path

It’s incredible to me that there is essentially zero incentive for any politician in the US to do anything to protect the constitutional rights guaranteed to citizens. Ever notice that laws that increase the power of the surveillance state

I’m also a big fan of concept maps, very nice! Some feedback: - site needs some work on mobile - should probably emphasize how this is different from the “mind maps” with which most people are more familiar (eg ability to label edges)

I’m dubious that tipping is going away, based on my experience living in Portland. Waiters in Portland make a minimum wage of $15.45/hr, tips cannot be used as “credit” to this wage (illegal in Oregon). You’ll still get stink-eye for t

The problem, as always is about the definitions and the power associated with controlling those definitions. Does a fine wine count as food? What about an imported fruit? If the US made it illegal to profit on food I think we'd see rap

+1 to this - I’ve had countless interviews for SRE positions that were pure leetcode. If I were applying for SRE roles today, I would take it as a signal and just stop the interview and leave. Leetcode interviews are a big part of the reaso
