Also the argument that "the driver can opt-out" is so facile. I don't drive a Tesla, I can't opt out of the beta but I still need to live with the Teslas in my town. Tesla is aggressively and non-consensually consuming p

I never got WeWork because it looked like they onboarded all of a 10-year lease's duration risk and then hoped to make up the difference somehow?

This is important infrastructure for a lot of the table top RPG community (virtual and physical). Make sure to contribute to it while it's getting the HN hug of death.

The military has such an odd no-sleep culture. "Hey, let's load up a submarine full of nuclear weapons and a nuclear reactor and then generate a schedule that requires everyone on board to function at a cognitive deficit with no s

tl;dr I guess what I'm saying is that even though I'm in the office, having the choice to be there makes all the difference. I've been going into the office a few days a week because my infant's daycare is nearby and it

I wonder if ForeFlight or something comparable is considering a LoB that offers an API to passenger UAS for filing and wx data stuff. Could be a one stop shop.

The FAA is actually pretty good at regulating "known" things within its remit. It is however, exceptionally bad at regulating unknown things, so it has a defined process to make things known. One of the most dangerous conditions a

These engines are not great and I don’t mind the ban in my town. That said it was temporarily an excuse for people to be incredibly rude to folks who keep our homes maintained. I paid a my landscaper’s fine while they figured out the ordina

Unless a union is involved, firms do not enact policies that make them less money. Unlimited PTO removes a liability. If there are specific policies that demarcate how an employee uses PTO to the degree specified in this blog post, I would

Sort of interesting how the edge of catastrophic failure has moved out in both cars and commercial aircraft.

Other people will love this but the analog nature of gardening is what keeps me interested. This sort of ruins the meditative joy I get out of the hobby. But if Homelab + Dirt = awesome to you, more power to you.
