I worked in this industry in a few ways - indirectly (my family owned and operated restaurants), directly (working in my family's restaurants), and adjacent (I ran product for a restaurant reservation platform). There's a couple

I agree with this perspective - the closest thing I've seen to this sort of "external enemy" approach in tech is engineers/SREs responding to an outage/critical issue. Good teams will get into a state of flow where

Yeah, it is luck-based, but in a different way, the original was pretty luck-based as well, as everything worked out for Sam (bought a great low effort website for 3k? That’s pretty lucky). I would say the scenario with the lowest amount of

I generally agree with your points, I might disagree on whether the personality is necessarily the key driver, after all, if you don’t meet the right people, they don’t get a chance to be charmed. But that doesn’t take away from the core o

This is a very specific story, one clearly designed to sell a very specific vision of success. I could write an equally plausible one where Sam’s website got hacked because he was too busy working to keep up with Wordpress patches and it g

“Gracefully” could mean put the hazards on, gradually reduce speed, and move to the shoulder. It doesn’t have to mean “come to a halt in the middle of I-95”.

Here's my overall suggestions, some of which are overlaps with other people's advice: - Find a local programming or software or security group, get some contacts. Have people mock interview you as though you are applying for a jo

It's impossible to know for certain, of course, but it seems highly unlikely that any of those writers will be quoted beyond the lifespan of contemporary readers (except potentially in scholarly books about rationalism/startups&#x

There’s literally nothing in this article that you couldn’t replace “token” or “coin” with “contract” or “membership” and have it work exactly the same. The idea of selling contracts against future income is interesting but putting the b

No, they mean iMessage - it's true iMessage falls back to SMS, but a lot of fidelity is lost. Reactions don't work, there's no stickers, images are lower resolutions, videos are potato quality, read receipts don't work.

There’s a complexity cost, though, right? It’s not free to run two different systems, manage two different billing systems, different tools, pay for cross-provider bandwidth, etc.? I’m sure there are some cases where the cost is worth the

Current googler here - only for a few years, so I don't have years of comparison. My perception in general is that, as someone else has mentioned, the openness has been dialed back a lot. It used to be standard that basically anyone

But if we have a population of people who will experience this, wouldn’t that feed into the GP contention that no one is measuring the experience between alive and dead? I completely buy the idea that all of these effects happen with other

I've always been a fan of a light agile process - every few weeks you sit down and come up with a target for the subsequent interval - 2 weeks is a good start, shouldn't be more than 6-8 weeks. Within that, you define what you wa

> If a drunk driver does not want to give his car keys to the unarmed civilian, then what happens? He writes the license plate down, calls 911, and notifies police. It's not rocket science. I would say that your experience probably

My understanding is that they wanted to validate that the additional needle insertions through the vial doesn't damage the seal enough to cause contamination.

They’re not saying there’s no decrease in asymptomatic cases, they’re saying they didn’t check for that. AstraZeneca’s study in the UK did surveillance testing of their study participants and found a significant drop in asymptomatic cases

In the excellent true crime book, "Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets", David Simon (future creator of The Wire), talks about the Miranda warning in the context of interrogations. When originally introduced, law enforcement

It was super useful to track people down when you were trying to coordinate. I remember on 9/11 in NYC, my nextel phone was the only one that was working in washington square park. I had a line of people waiting to use it to call lov

I'm as pro-union as they come, but let's not pretend that the film and theater unions are an unalloyed good. It's true that the top is not limited for people who make millions of dollars, but the bottom is fairly restrictive

My suspicion is that these events directly contributed very little overall. However, they normalized non-compliance and increased the number of people who don't wear masks as a point of resistance.

(googler here, uninvolved with this bug though) It also requires that the user know the document ID- so they would have to identify a document that they want access to, get the ID of that document, embed the document in a website that they

I agree with you - I think that rural life is quite empowering, but can be quite isolating as well. I also think that cities can inspire a sense of independence and self-reliance - in NYC, many middle schoolers ride the subway alone. In m

As someone who built (and sold) a company in this space, your solution works for the vast majority of relatively simple databases. However, lots of legacy/enterprise/custom apps have freakishly complicated schemas running on data

Isn't the theoretical point of prison to rehabilitate? We want to take people who have wronged others and get them to take responsibility for their actions and make them productive members of society. Removing voting rights permanent

"Archiving" means that each site will be converted into an HTML export and placed in their Google Drive, and a separate copy will be converted to a new site and placed in a draft (unpublished) state in their Google Drive. They ca

I'm sorry, this sounds like a terrible experience. If you're comfortable, could you send me an email with the ticket # so myself or someone on the team can look into it? My email is zito@. Any additional context would be helpful

Possibly? It's possible that the emails were sent on a data pull at some point, and in between data pull and emailing, you deleted the classic site. Or potentially there was a wire crossed somewhere. I apologize for the extra email e

If you're comfortable, can you ping me on email at zito@? It's possible the custom script is the issue, but I'd be happy to take a look.
