They mean `typical`: "Will a typical pilot have enough physical strength...". But like you, I'd still like margin for error (pilot with a cold, fatigued, under other stress, etc.)

It's joke explaining to a broader audience. Tell a joke that's too subtle, only a few find it funny. Call attention to it and more will understand, but those who found it funny as subtle, no longer will. I think it's bad sty

Fair enough; phrase it "What would my day-to-day work look like?" "What percentage of time coding/designing/testing/meetings?" The current interview process could be better but right now these coding quest

[Meta] This is probably the one clickbait practice at HN I like: a no-context, you'll-find-out link to Wikipedia. Don't change it! A description would be a spoiler.

Talk about a self-defeating message. Now I get timeouts. Things you get on BigEvilHost's platform: * SEO, discoverability * ability to handle HN hug-of-death * distribution * some SRE/dev-op makes sure your article isn't 404

I've always preferred Option 2; this is not a criticism of all that entails. In fact, it's no different from all the other startups and side-projects that rise and fall. Google's unique problem is it's all under 1 roof

Since a lot of Googlers read HN, a question for you: How do you all feel about Google's Launch 'n Kill culture? I did use Trips for travel once and liked it, but hesitated to get invested in it lest it dies one day (today). I app

Not sure why GP's downvoted, the definition sucks. What's "close to stars"? 1AU? Here to Pluto? Here to the Oort cloud? 1LY? In the orbital plane? Localized to an arc or surround ing the Sun? Then the link to desert goes

Lived to 87, well above life expectancy for 1893'ers so a loose correlation suggests it extends the average lifespan. I expect to find this on the shelf right next to Dirty Lemon Charcoal water shortly.

Nah, there's a bug out there right now blocking my work I'd throw money at if I could. I can't be the only one who feels like this.

No, I think the EU was inflammatory with wording: "heavy-arm wrestling in the corridors", "blackmail". At least in the US, you can't throw "blackmail" around casually as it carries a heavy criminal implic

Even with uniforms at my school, those with the yellow Ralph Lauren shirts looked down on those with the yellow Izod shirts or worse off-brand. It was easy to ignore though, but still amusing. "Insecurity uh finds a way."

What tips in AWS's favor, roughly speaking? My general feel is GCP is slightly cheaper but is missing some offerings, while AWS is a mature 1-stop shop that's well documented.

What exactly is the confusion here? That people share things on their own blog? Or that people vote it up on HN? If the former, people share all sorts of oddities in their own personal space especially life-changing events of which career m
