This mention of "yoga at 11am" seems to be rubbing some folks the wrong way, but what if it was "lunch for an hour at 11am"? In all the jobs I've held (including now) where working hours are not dictated by external

I'm not bothered by seeing people just out and about wearing big, probably expensive headphones, but seeing folks exercising even remotely strenuously in them is what I don't understand. I just can't deal with the thought of

My experience has been close to yours. The wife and I have a 3 and 5 year old. We did tons of research into different methods of sleep training methods and arrived at practical ways to make sure they understood that bedtime meant staying in

They are separate, but we all sit in two person offices along one long hallway. This allows us to quickly talk through issues or bounce ideas off someone, then go back and spend long stretches implementing. It’s about 2/3rds researcher

We have been fortunate enough to be able to hire people for our group of about 60 that fall into two categories: 1) Researchers/mathematicians 2) DevOps/software engineers that are fluent enough in ML/AI processes and methodo
