A lot of these appear to stem from inexperience -- the founder/CEO/CTO doing and saying what they think they're supposed to do or because "that's what successful people do." I'm going to be slightly revers

I successfully transitioned from a night owl (bed at 2-3am, up at 8-9am) to a morning person VERY easily -- but I cheated: I moved from NYC to SF, but I didn't change my natural sleep schedule when I did ;) I just didn't let mysel

Other than that statement, TFA didn't really go into why it wouldn't be competitive with reverse osmosis. Any thoughts or ideas? Edit: New comment basically explained it. Very very low flow rates.

Funny - I had a conversation with a friend about this exact topic the other day. Painting a few (old) walls in my apartment. I asked the original designer what color they were, and she confidently replied "Swiss Coffee". Great!

Yup - I've been using it with the team for the past month or so. I like. I used to use it a few years ago (earlier iteration) with a different team but it never quite stuck, but the new version is pretty great. There's only one

I argue a similar thing often -- we're all fundamentally driven by incentives, and hourly billing creates a direct financial incentive to work more slowly (and a financial disincentive to work more quickly), no matter how honest/h

Was discussing self-driving cars with a few colleagues on a drive the other day, and a question came up: Does anyone have a sense how the cars handle situations where traffic is being directed by a human, with hand signals, etc? I.e. a cop

This is a somewhat random note on the subject, but after reading one of the threads yesterday on Stripe, I found myself reading through their list of prohibited businesses/services (it's an interesting read if you're curious

So this actually brings up an interesting point: There are many of us that use AirBNB, like you, and are quiet, respectful, and essentially good actors. The problems that almost everyone seems to talk about are the (rare) bad actors -- the

I wonder what the actual implications of "getting screwed on fills" really are. If I'm buying AAPL as a casual retail consumer, and the market price at the absolute moment is $121.05, and I get "screwed" with a fill

It's funny coming from someone who lives in SV. I just moved here and have a hard time differentiating Summer from the rest of the SF seasons. It's all the best!

Excellent points. I totally agree - there's still part of me that wants to dive back into both DXpeditions and contesting, both of which don't really have a parallel in Internet-land. Locking myself in the bedroom and doing the

100% agree. Don't try to build your own when there are some excellent free (and commercial) ones that are battle-tested. grep, cut, tail, etc. work quite well if you're working on a single machine or small number of machines. The

I'm not sure if their policy has changed recently, but at least as of a few years ago, the IRS definitely did call you. I got audited (joy!) and was notified by a relatively-friendly phone call by the auditing agent. Now, she was follo

I wouldn't be so quick to assume they're being shortsighted. I have no idea what the details are, but I've got to assume they have very explicit data about who and how many people convert from free to paid tiers and that they

Love these guys -- been using them as a tester for NYC, and they most definitely did up the rate I was getting for my AirBNB by at least 30%. Haven't run the final #s yet but they're good.

Yes, in most cases in the US, you're correct. A vast majority of hiring relationships are "at will" relationships -- which means you can leave at will and be fired at will. The exceptions are when there's a formal emplo

The biggest question that comes to my mind when reading this: What powers do these SCOPs _actually_ have? If an SCOP tried to arrest someone and they simply said "no" or otherwise resisted, can that person be charged with resist
