I mostly go to expat/tourist-focused high-end clinics in Asia (there are a bunch of options; mostly depends on which country you're going to be in -- Thailand, Singapore, Japan are particularly strong). You can get a really compre

They changed their pricing structure so it's not a good self-hosted-gallery alternative and lack of easy sharing/etc. make it higher friction than sharing sites (with far more engagement there). It had some tolerable workflow too

An electric multicopter would be wonderful for short distance over either water (e.g. PR main island to Vieques) or mountains (not having to have access roads, or being able to go straight-line for passengers, and a much longer route with s

There are specific issues around giving legal advice as a non-lawyer which could come up. There are also areas (securities law) where something could be construed as investment advice and even a non professional giving that advice is expose

I clarified with him on twitter and in fact my “most charitable” interpretation was correct (although he got $32 as a paid witness; I guess inflation! I remember when this was $10-12 and parking validation). I hope someone at Amazon sees t

It's also a tweet , so even if he wrote "lawsuit" and wanted to correct it to "subpoena" (or other legal request), would not be possible to do so. It's interesting later on in his thread where it's clear

Not a lawyer, not legal advice. (I'm not going to criticize a man who runs an educational toy company for not being precise about "lawsuit" "discovery" "subpoena" etc.) I believe (subject to clarification)

I wish there were a standard for status pages for sites, including long term immutable logs (to track uptime). Maybe a TLD like .status so one could query e.g. www.instagram.com.status (and maybe even be port/protocol based, although

The "color of money" thing was so obnoxious when I was contracting in Iraq. They could easily spent essentially unlimited amounts for certain kinds of things which weren't needed, but then couldn't pay for other things (

So many problems are avoided by just never answering the door (and figuring out some way to receive packages). If it's a uniformed police officer, "COME BACK WITH A WARRANT" or "CONTACT MY ATTORNEY AT X".

Incidentally YC has done non-profits as well ( https://www.ycombinator.com/nonprofits/ ) which is interesting. Some interesting companies: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies?nonprofit=true

I know of it as "dry cleaning chemical and why you don't want to buy a building which used to contain a dry cleaning shop with on-premises processing".

by rdl 3y ago
This is to some degree reassuring; as the chemical was phased out in the 1970s, maybe it means Parkinson's rates among people who are middle aged or younger today, and thus much less likely to have been exposed, will be lower than boom

This is one of the most amazing organizations doing stuff today -- I wish I lived in Austin to participate more. I've visited a few times and am always impressed by the people I meet there (both the "staff" and the fellowship

Washington State has a B&O tax which, until recently, was the primary state tax. Hawaii has a ~4% gross receipts tax but it can be visibly passed on to customers like a sales tax.

Yeah, LittleSnitch helps with that. I’d be fine with telemetry if it recorded locally in a way which was fully inspectable and human readable and which I could send IFF I wanted to, but with a password manager I’d be scared even of just a l

The version I use(d) doesn’t connect to their servers, it stores a local password vault, and uses WebDAV to sync. I mostly moved away from passwords, and moved important passwords to a different system (Bitwarden/vaultwarden), but sti

Also don’t need to do the entire ocean; there are specific routes and zones we care about the most, can easily prioritize those.

by rdl 3y ago
Best solution is to pre-map the ocean to the degree possible (mountains don't tend to move, at least on the timescales we care about...); this wouldn't need to be done stealthily (so you could use active sensors), and using surfac

Agree about cheese wiz being gross, but American cheese is fine too. I do like provolone + marinara sauce ("pizza steak"), though. (I've had better steaks in Philly suburbs and NJ than in the city itself, too.)

I didn't realize rents for space in a mobile home park in a not-particularly-wealthy area would be so high; $500-750/mo for rent for a trailer? My apartment, twice the size of a trailer, costs only on the high end of that, and pr

You're right, I've lived and worked in both areas (several times during 2000-2016). SoMA varies a LOT by exact location (at a per-block level) and changes with time of day, time of year, and has changed in cycles over the years.

I would be shocked if it were anything but random/senseless (or opportunistic robbery), happening on the street at 0230 in SoMA. This police request for information appears to be related. https://twitter.com/sfvas&#x2F
