To me the most interesting part of this article is that I missed there was a contract awarded for a Mach 6 SR-72, that may or may not already have a sighted test platform.

But it isn't a paycut - at best I am declining to look for a pay increase. And that is ok. I think plenty of people would do it - at a certain point we make more than enough to fund our interests and lifestyle. I am always happy to mak

I'm guessing a bad options grant. I worked for a bootstrapped company that had some minimal investment and equity. Company sold for ~$12Mil and I pocketed 80K, on top of a market salary

I look at it another way - there are plenty of startups (series A, B) that pay fair industry wages along with equity. If the exit is worth nothing - no huge loss, I made what I should have. If there is a good/great exit - awesome, I po

I'm not at all. throwaway123156 put it well above, but there is not, in my mind, corruption. The Democratic party is a private group that defines it's own rules, including how a candidate is selected. (The same is true for the Rep

What corruption do you think you see?

One string per note (as opposed to the usual 1/2/3 depending on where in on the keyboard you are talking about), not only one string. The video the parent linked to is the Una Corda - played by the designer/builder

Ok, I'll add a note in my cover letter regarding this interaction. I'm sure you have thought of this, but I think it is a powerful indicator to remote ICs if their manager is also remote. It at least suggests that the manage lives

Are all of the engineering roles open to remote workers? I'm interested in the Backend Manager position and located in D.C.

I think the hypothesized inner boundary of the Oort cloud is 2,000 AU[0] making it 20x the distance as this new object, not double. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oort_cloud

Are all of your roles remote friendly? From your jobs page it reads like all are local positions. In particular I am interested in the Tech Lead role.

Also very interested. Email in profile. Thanks!

At the end it says it is translated from French. It seems like the translator went for fidelity to the original over readability in English.

These are great! I feel bad asking because they are free, but it would be great if you had the set of landing/beta/pre-launch/startup etc. all with the same theme. I'm starting up a project and it would be great to be ab

The caption about discharging the flash capacitor is a good one, but even with an non-conductive handle tool you need to be careful. I once did it and the discharge was sufficient to fling the screwdriver out of my hand and embed it in a 2x

Maybe we are being simulated by a benevolent super-being playing The Sims

But we could simulate (in theory) a smaller universe than our own. Maybe that is what is happening. We can also simulate alternate physical properties. Maybe the simulating universe has vastly different rules/requirements.

by misthop 8y ago
Even if detecting that we are/are not in a simulation, building experiments to help answer unusual questions is another way to understand the physics of our reality. I think it is great.

Why only one star? Even if you assume the simulating universe has similar physics to ours the simulating entities could be Kardashev[0] III, IV or V [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale

If you correclty merge Washington DC and District of Columbia, it jumps to 6th place from 11/12. I have a hard time trusting an state by state analysis that doesn't get that bit correct. Also, should it really be state by state, o

On the layout-you make your "pages" trigger a scroll, but don't allow me to scroll my self. Not a fan. If you want to use something like that, and approximate a book, I would be more comfortable with a horizontal animation. W

Would you consider remote (D.C.) for the VP of engineering role? I am otherwise qualified. Also, how do you want people to apply? You don't seem to have any roles listed on your site

I agree that the confirm password field should be gone, but disagree on the show facility. You need to toggle the password type to text to show it. Additionally, we should be encouraging people to use password managers. If you want to be ab

Yes, it is clear as of now. I expect if a chunk of his life's work looked like it was going to go off the rails he may want to reconsider.

That is a really interesting point. Without some process formalizing his (desired it appears) removal as BDFL he could override any future construct that is built to guide python. The thought of a schism in the direction of python is worryi

Hopefully no one is looking at a project and saying "that will take a year". You estimate tasks and that gives you a project timeline. Those tasks get the double and bump. Or say 2 decades and get all the praise when you come in u
