Can they fix file navigation next? I’ve never been able to figure it out, somehow I can have files shared with me that are impossible to browse/ search for, you just have to bookmark the link.

I feel like this is a dismissive response to the article, as if there were some sort of “gotcha” clickbait going on. I perceive it to have delivered exactly what the headline promised: Doxxing (and worse) for sale using lightly regulated lookup tools provided by credit bureaus.

Was there something that diminutives these claims?

“The best time to build a nuclear generating station is 10 years ago, the second best time is now”

-ancient proverb

A massive misrepresentation of what’s actually happening. Cooling water is completely sealed off from the main loop, they exchange heat through a coil with lots of metal fins, which may leak tritium, but if you’ve ever been in a basement or eaten a banana you’ve seen worse.

There’s just so much freedom over here it’s hard to tell where ends and where it begins.

Levying a tax on international consumers might be an easier fix than completely rewriting water rights legislation.

Also: our usernames are oddly similar!

Or mount another hour hand on it that always tracks an hour ahead of the existing one with a label on which dates it’s applicable during. That’s a clean solution right?

I have a wall clock that syncs with an atomic clock in Colorado, which was cool at first but I live in Arizona now which doesn’t observe daylight savings so it’s often wrong by an hour now.

If the message originated from twilio there would probably be an argument that that’s “online”

What’s the bar for “pretending”? Is mere omission of their unnatural status considered deception?

That’s the gig with becoming a PE: you get a stamp and you can stamp drawings with your approval. You get paid for stamping things, but you incur liability because if they’re not actually safe then it’s on you.

Don’t forget blocking merges based on your personal opinions about the UX design which haven’t been communicated to or approved by the design team.

A big step backwards for what? I can hail a cab, watch shows, all sorts of things on-the-go.

If you’re claiming it’s a big step back for productivity, I’d argue that phones and tablets are devices of consumption, few things of worth are produced on a phone or tablet.

Isn’t that more of a carrier thing?

Even the intro example about designing an aluminum part to be milled with a lathe as a simple first year college thing… no, we had a manufacturing class where we briefly used a lathe in junior year, but most of the stuff in college was academic. We were doing linear algebra and sizing HVAC systems, not designing for production.

I’ve literally never gotten a job that didn’t come through a recruiter (except my most recent job). 10 years experience, every time I want a new job I just reach out to recruiters who have contacted me recently and recruiters I’ve had good experiences with in the past, they’ll bring me a handful of random jobs and I interview for the ones that sound like a good fit.

The most recent job the hiring manager saw my post on HN: who’s looking to be hired, and they just reached out directly.

It’s honestly astounding you consider them to be distinct

A technically correct, but insignificant headline which appears dangerous at first glance; yeah that seems par for the course of modern journalism.

I like the commentary from the interviewee that science happens everyday and comes from empirical observations; that it’s not reserved for people in labs with white coats.

I’ve taken one of the drugs in that class and it works great. I think people get hung up on the fact that you can buy thinness now, and that rubs people the wrong way because it’s always been the one thing you can’t buy, that it must come from discipline alone, but now you can and nothing is sacred anymore.

I wonder if there were some vice that degraded eyesight, that LASIK would be frowned upon.

“These drugs” referred to the class of drugs, GLP1s, which have been around for much longer. Victoza was approved in 2010 (liraglutide) and Byetta in 2005. It’s clickbait because it’s trying desperately to paint a narrative that these drugs were rushed to market and that they’re unsafe.

The narrative plays well to the general public because it’s a weight loss drug, which is seen as vain/ non-virtuous (even though it is, indeed, healthier to live life at a more modest BMI than most the population currently has).

If this were not clickbait they would be focused on breaking a new story, but there’s no story to be had, just “out of the millions of people who have taken this drug, we were able to find 2 that are less than shining examples of wellness”.

This seems like clickbait: “Here are two people who have had complications from taking a drug! You should be outraged!”

The individuals highlighted appear to have underlying conditions that were aggravated by drugs, but these drugs have been in the market for 15 years, they’re not exactly untested.

I use it for real estate investing: templates for common guest messages (check in, check out, thank you for booking), links to insurance/mortgage/utilities, contractor logs, lease templates and completed contracts, etc.

It’s been immensely helpful; I’m sure there other ones that work well too but this one does everything I need.

Jeez, lots of hate in the thread for some kids games.

I saw a demo recently where they had a drone flying high and it zip-lined a package down to the destination directly below it, so the drone never had to get close to the ground. I’m not sure if that’s current strategy but it seems like a cool idea to cut down on noise and proximity issues.

I believe it was sarcasm; of course they’ll continue collecting money and not paying people during maintenance, because who doesn’t want more money?

That’s not true. There was a doctor owned clinic in Seattle (The Polyclinic) with multiple locations across the city. A few years ago it was purchased by Optum (United Healthcare), and the standard of care has fallen through the floor.

True, I can’t stand over-engineered solutions, I don’t think those people are ever going to get a high velocity. Maybe it’s safer to say the situation is a necessary but not sufficient.

I think folks’ general understanding of the 10x engineer is that “some people have it and some don’t”.

I think it’s more like “I’m working on a bunch of stuff I already know, I have all the designs and business logic clearly identified, and my colleagues and I are all on the same page about how to work together so I’m really productive” vs “this codebase I just adopted is completely unreadable, the designs change every 3 days and the other teams I’m interacting with are adversarial”.

People aren’t 10x engineers, situations are.

Actions like this are a mark of a company with excess staff. If someone is so bored that they took it upon themselves to require someone ride on a second leg of a trip, there’s probably some bloat in their org.

And how are they claiming they lost money due to skip lagging? If anything they’d gain money on the smaller amount of fuel needed for the second leg because he wasn’t on it.

The word kafkaesque becomes more relevant every day.
