Second thing I did was try to open a private window using the universal macOS shortcut of Cmd+Shift+N. Nothing happened, because Firefox decided to use Cmd+Shift+P unlike all other browsers. No problem, this is a macOS app, I’ll just change the keyboard shortcut in system preferences and I’ll be good to go. Except after doing that, Firefox doesn’t actually respect the remapped shortcut (an issue which has existed for 11 years).

And the baked in color management is not correct for a macOS app, and the right click menus are not Mac-like and don’t respect dark mode.

I thought it was time to make the switch, but the reality is that Firefox is still an even poorer macOS app than Chrome. Fix that and I’ll switch tomorrow, as I really want to ditch Chrome!

Distru builds supply chain software for the cannabis industry. Our product helps cannabis companies manage production, sales, invoicing, and shipments, automating compliance with complicated state regulations that require real-time inventory tracking gram-by-gram.

We have early product-market fit: our customers love our product and we are growing quickly. After bootstrapping ourselves to profitability, we just closed our seed round from some top tier funds and angels (announcing soon).

We are a lean 7 person engineering-focused team that includes early engineers from Opendoor and Heroku. Our stack is built from the ground up on Elixir/Phoenix, Postgres, React/Redux, and GraphQL. We are hiring experienced full-stack engineers and a UX Designer to help take our product to the next level. We love product-minded engineers that can own a feature across the frontend and backend, even if they're stronger at one side of that.

If I early exercise my options on day 1, then I still have to wait until the 2 years after the grant date (2 years of employment) to get long term capital gains treatment.

If I wait 4 years, then exercise, then I have already satisfied the 2 years post-grant requirement, but I still have to wait a year after the exercise to get long term capital gains treatment.

The key part was my last clause: "whichever is later".

I heard [0] for a long time it was all about long form posts to a massive number of Google Groups mailing lists with custom tooling to manage subscriptions (bc the Groups UI is poor). I understand these lists range from general to hyper specific.

But then I’ve also heard much of the communication has shifted to Slack or other tools. Slack tends to degrade into chaos at a certain size, and at Stripe’s scale I’m curious if this is a big pain point or how you mitigate it.

Whether the companies capitulate on their own accord or due to some behind the scenes strong arming is another matter.

I’m not sure how much of it can be blamed on cell phone use, but I swear that human drivers have been getting substantially worse over the last few years (at least in the Bay Area). It seems like every single week I avoid a major accident from somebody doing something stupid or not paying attention. And I don’t even drive that much!

So while Waymo continues improving, it appears that the bar for them to be better than human drivers also keeps getting lowered.

I'm having trouble understanding how this comment is anything other than homophobic.

First, I came to a 4-way stop here where a Waymo car had arrived and stopped maybe 1-2 seconds prior. Waymo was on 15th heading East, I was on San Bruno heading north. Nobody else was at the intersection: https://goo.gl/maps/S2GmNTuWNDq

I stopped fully and gave it about 2 seconds to start moving since it had right-of-way. It made a one or two false starts, then I just gave up and went through the intersection because it was clearly having issues. Looking back in the rear view I saw it did the same thing with the next car. Maybe it didn't think it was a 4-way stop or something?

A few minutes later, I was on Bryant just past 7th outside the Hall of Justice in dense traffic that was moving quickly (as people do on that street). A Cruise Automation car (I think?) was in one of the right lanes next to me and, for whatever reason, decided it wanted to get over to the left quickly. When it didn't get a good opening after a couple seconds, it more or less stopped in the middle of the road to wait for an opening. Unsafe and almost caused an accident with the cars behind it.

Of course human drivers do stuff like this or worse all the time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's going to be interesting to adjust to all the ways these things behave unpredictably (relative to what we'd expect from human drivers).

However, the "calories out" portion of that equation is actually quite complicated. In recent years many studies have indicated that the body does not process all calories in the same way. So "calories out" depends on a lot of things, including:

- metabolism, which can be increased by exercise and muscle mass

- what specific kind of "calories in" you're getting, and how your body processes these

- calories burned directly by exercise

To highlight one specific example of this, a calorie of fructose may be processed by the body very differently than a calorie of, say, vegetable fat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM

I’ve learned that I can’t be very productive working on things I don’t care about or don’t like. So I just try not to put myself in a position where I have to do them (by delegating, avoiding, or something else). Stuff that you don’t like is a painful drag on morale and momentum.

And:

Also, don’t fall into the trap of productivity porn—chasing productivity for its own sake isn’t helpful. Many people spend too much time thinking about how to perfectly optimize their system, and not nearly enough asking if they’re working on the right problems. It doesn’t matter what system you use or if you squeeze out every second if you’re working on the wrong thing.

I can't speak to their quality as I haven't tried it yet. I have used Resin.io quite a bit and it's great if it fits your use case (and the pricing model makes sense for you).

Dems who voted against the Amash/USA Rights amendment: https://twitter.com/gzornick/status/951501089047764992

All votes for the Amash/USA Rights amendment: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2018/roll014.xml

All votes on S. 139, aka the main bill: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2018/roll016.xml

My Twitter link shows Dems who voted against the USA Rights amendment, and my house.gov link is for the bill itself. It is possible (and in fact likely) that a rep who voted no on the amendment would support the bill without it.

Your house.gov link is for the amendment, so it should reflect the same votes as the image in the tweet.

The Amash amendment was also to this bill.

Here is a pamphlet comparing S. 139 with the Amash/USA Rights Act Amendment: https://www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/ChartCompa...

That same document refers to S. 139 as the FISA Reauthorization Amendments Act.

Nobody knew what those people were doing, if they were doing anything,” said Michael Horodniceanu, who was then the head of construction at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs transit in New York. The workers were laid off, Mr. Horodniceanu said, but no one figured out how long they had been employed. “All we knew is they were each being paid about $1,000 every day.

It costs them $1.5B-$3.5B per mile of track in NYC, while other global cities do it for a tenth of the cost.

One glaring example of mismanagement of funds:

The budget showed that 900 workers were being paid to dig caverns for the platforms as part of a 3.5-mile tunnel connecting the historic station to the Long Island Rail Road. But the accountant could only identify about 700 jobs that needed to be done, according to three project supervisors. Officials could not find any reason for the other 200 people to be there.

If they can’t get the costs down to the same range as the countries whose systems they envy, how can they compete?
