Literally what they said. The site for this post doesn’t display properly.

I mean, this is how Saverin lost almost all of his stake in Facebook and then regained some of it in a lawsuit. At least if you believe the movie! :)

It's also strange that all those people in movies think we care about their current relationship status.

Courage? What in the world does that even mean? How would it take any more “courage” than it took to launch a product that sucks people’s entire website into the search result, guaranteeing an outcry of epic proportion?

You should immediately flip the bozo bit in any leader who tells you that layoffs are done and you don't need to worry. That is a bullshit statement that no manager with any experience would ever say. It's so bad, I honestly quest

I have a close friend who works for a largish French company and runs their engineering team. They are expanding their engineering team and are considering anywhere but France. The statistic I was told is that the non-salary costs for an en

You answered this yourself. These people got new jobs. What's to raise a fuss about?

My friends at Apple say they avoided layoffs because they didn't hire as much during the pandemic. Sounds great, right? Except instead they just worked more hours. Dunno which approach I prefer.

Base salary is a relatively small component of your pay once you've been at Google more than 2 or 3 years. For me it is roughly 30% of my total comp after three years, without any crazy performance ratings or promos. Does the governmen

Average entry level pay for pilots in the US is $50K. That’s not only not incredibly well, it’s at best median for most jobs that require formal training and certification.

Yeah, they should get someone who actually architected a successful chip, like the 486. Maybe a boomerang who used to be CTO. Get rid of this beancounter and hire someone like that!! /S

It really feels like Google could announce the cure for cancer and HN would find a way to talk shit about it.

If I give you a list, you’re going to proceed to tell me that they all exist because of government regulation. I don’t argue with zealots. If you define criteria you will accept as evidence before I give you a list, I’m willing to do the

There are regulations affecting the food you eat, the home you live in, the cars you drive and the roads they're driven on. You'd be hard pressed to find anything run purely as a free market in the US, much less elsewhere. Moreove

What would happen in a truly free market is that a large percentage of elderly people with fixed incomes would be priced out of the medical care they need to live healthy, fulfilling lives past their 60s. This is very simple math, and it is

As other, far more well-informed posters have pointed out, you do not do these routes in climbing shoes.

While this is mostly true, I just want to point out that it's mostly the less traveled routes that have this problem. Someone with a modicum of crack technique and an unremarkable gym ability will be able to get up Nutcracker (famous o

This difference is mostly about the rock and the technique. Granite is very different from limestone and Yosemite cracks are very very different from a gym. (And Tuolumne domes are yet another thing.) If you spent a summer climbing in Yosem

What's a 5.6 route you've felt challenged on? And was it the runout that did it, or the actual physical difficulty of the moves? I ask because I've done a lot of climbing outside and I never ran across something that was grad

Gyms are just a different thing. There a few places where gym grades translate well onto real rock, but they are few and far between, and nowhere with mostly trad routes will translate. Smith Rock for instance probably translates fine. Yose

Legally they are light trucks. Obviously that's not how they're used or designed.

It's probably simple reporting logic. Having a board member reporting to someone not on the board would be problematic.

Truthfully I didn't think much about it, but yes I assumed that was their weight, in the same way that a heavy-weight boxer fights in a particular weight class.

That's great. Do we expect the typical HN reader to know this? While I don't think I'm 100% representative, I looked at that title and thought "wow, that's a really big truck! Is it used for mining?"

by sulam 3y ago
The truck is not 74 tons, it's capable of moving that weight in cargo. Title update would be nice.

My point is that cyclists dope with EPO precisely because the body doesn't produce enough for your oxygen needs. There is a cap, probably for good reasons as you say.

A tour full of competitive cyclists would beg to differ with this analysis.
