As you said, it is tweet-based. About a font on Twitter. The Tweets in the article show the font.

Agreed. You can't blame this on testing only on Macs, because it's bad on my Mac too.

I like the idea of a community that truly doesn’t need cars. I don’t like the idea of living in a community built and owned by a YC company. I don’t need Uber for housing.

I know people who quite successfully use it in place of a pump, along with a single basal shot from a pen each day. It’s just a small inhaler with disposable plastic dose dispensers in various numbers of units. It because it works so quickl

Have you tried the inhaled insulin? It takes effect MUCH faster than any injected insulin, does it’s job, and is out of your body quickly so also reduces the risk of stacking. In some ways it is not as convenient as a pump, but it works muc

The concepts and terms of incident command are not from the military (or ER as another poster suggested). It's from the fire service and emergency management in general. I don't know if that changes peoples' perceptions and I

OTG is much, much smaller than HMS Host. If they appear to be in all airports, it's probably just because you happen to go the airports where they operate. A list is on their site: https://www.otgexp.com Once you're o

I keep trying to figure out if the internet really was more fun back then, or if I was just younger and less jaded. Maybe both?

With the number of companies (from Tesla to Chevrolet) with large volumes actual EVs sold and on the road, I don't see how Nikola has a head start?

Funny how this thread basically proves the author's point. Even with most of the replies that claim to agree with her, they include one or two "tips" on how to handle cast iron. If you collected all of the advice and tips in

Which, indeed, is the point. Threads are primarily useful in very busy channels with multiple conversations happening. The point of a thread is to get the conversation out of the main channel so it doesn't disrupt other discussions. If

Yes, this is exactly what threads are for. To get a side conversation out of the way.

I truly don't know how anyone can believe a word Elon Musk says at this point. I'm not saying I trust Bezos either, but Elon has burned any shred of credibility he ever had.

I can't help but feel sorry for the Slack engineers who are used to working at a nimble and innovative company, and now will be beaten down by bureaucracy only rivaled by large governments.

Also the people claiming (and believing) that they have no intention of suing are not the people who make the decision to sue or not (unless it's an extremely small company, or you are an important enough hire to be discussing this wit

As a former professional photographer, and still a friend of many, I'm not convinced that it's a huge market. Actual profitable full-time professional photographers who can afford to buy equipment is a small and shrinking populati

Exactly. Even though the uber/lyft experience is not always perfect, it is almost always much better than taxis, and I will pay a premium for it. The people who only care about price can have the cabs, and the discount airlines while t

Right. As the owner of a single-family home, I control my destiny. Yes, I may pay more dollars to replace my roof than I would pay to replace the roof on a condo building. But I am in complete control of when it happens, who does it, and ho

This is why I am glad to both be 100% remote, and be so far from the office nearest that there is no way they could argue with a straight face that I need to come in. They could fire me if they decide they don't want remote people any

My purely anecdotal experience is kind of the opposite. My friends and co-workers who are eager to get back to the office are mostly the ones who have kids and want to get away from them during the day (which I am sympathetic to).

Fair. I was hedging because I was too lazy to look it up and confirm there are no exceptions. "Every state makes their own rules" can create weird situations and I didn't want to mislead anyone....

Most states in the US have at-will employment, which means the employee or employer can terminate employment at any time for any reason (other than some carved-out exceptions) or no reason at all.

It is part of the suggestion algorithm. It's not "automatic" in the sense that it won't instantly and consistently trigger a recommendation without any other signals, but it can, especially if there aren't enough ot

This is a great point. For the most part, I love working from home, and will never go back to an office if I can help it. But I completely agree that these aspects of the job are much harder, and the perspective of someone who has never had

1000% agree. I do not want a car that is a smartphone on wheels and I have no idea why so many people find this attractive.

Honestly some customers I've encountered have asked for stuff like this (and similarly meetings to go over product roadmap) almost as a power play. Either to see if they can get us to do it, or to feel like they have control over our d

Yup. In fact, I transitioned out of development in part because of the prevalence of this. I have learned the hard way that my work/life boundary is absolutely critical to my mental health and wellbeing. Even if it's relatively in

I don't know what's "pseudo" about cleaner floors and surfaces and better-organized merchandise. It's not just about decor. The Wal-Marts I have been to are a filthy mess, and it's clear no one cares.
