Don’t care! It’s the golden age of tvs! Oleds are a technology that’s actually living up to the hype. I have an lg wallpaper tv and you can roll it up! The new ones look even more flexible. One even rolls up into a box.

Robots will catch up. The future of TVs is now!

Uh...have you ever driven anywhere rural...anywhere? If you have to drive 100 miles in rural area, going 30 mph would never fly. But, people ( including children) often live along these roads. I grew up in a place like that.

People live directly off of highways. So highways should be 25 mph? 30mph?

I understand what they mean. I just disagree. I think studies on it agree with me too, but I’d rather not read about it. They and I will just have to agree to disagree.

On one hand having another child or more children could be comforting, but I think you are more likely to make that child’s life much harder and sadder, which would add more guilt. It’s all around *ucking awful and terrifying.

It’s terrifying. The other day my youngest started crying and screaming cuz his stomach hurt (ended up being gas or upset stomach that lasted for 4-5 hours). My brain instantly went to “well that’s it...”...it almost always goes through worst case first.

I literally can’t imagine how hard it is on parent’s whose kids are actually sick, suffering so badly, and then may end up dying. I don’t know...I’m not sure I’m made of stuff strong enough to deal with that.

It’s not stupid it’s a morally wrong thing to say and very mean. She was what, 19? He obviously knew it was an accident (why did he let her go? He obviously thought it was an accident, probably unavoidable), more the little boys fault (if you have to blame someone) than her’s..what a jerk-off.

Dude...not how it works. Read the story. They had two...totally ruined their lives. You can argue they didn’t “handle it well” (blaming her when it was an obvious accident, not moving on together, leaving the room, etc), but the point is every child you have feels like your only child in many ways.

I’m going to have to disagree with you here.

I have 4 boys under the age of 12. I would say I think about one of them dying (accident, sickness, murder...so many ways it can happen...) multiple times a day. I know that sounds morbid, and it probably is, but my brain does it on its own...not a lot of control over it.

Nothing on earth scares me more than the idea of having to go on living without one of them. Having 4 increases my odds that I might have to. It terrifies me on a daily basis! Yay, Parenthood!

I can’t watch movies that involve kids being sick, hurt, etc. which is fine,,,,not the reason I watch movies, but I literally cannot. I will turn off the tv or leave the room. I’m a giant baby, basically!

I would never hire anyone that “works” like this. This all reeks of bullshit, the whole working nomad lifestyle. I know people that do it. Their definition of work and mine are very different.

They are doing “it” because often, in places like LA where people have refused to fund public transport or more roads or tunnels or anything, it can be the difference between a 40 minute drive/ride to LAX and a 2 hour one.

Omg, I wish I had like 1/10 of her talent.

Omg, who cares if wired writes a story about your startup?!? No story has ever made a company...

Fine, but some of us aren’t so...what?

If you can’t be successful writing ruby...I don’t know what to say. I’m a manager/exec at a medium sized public company. Recently, I got to code in ruby again after a long time. It was great. It’s still my favorite language. I try to quit it, leave it for another newer, sexier language, but I just can’t. Maybe crystal, but then you can have both!

Absolutely not. We went all in on it. We even developed our own open source framework based on it called Gluestick. It's original purpose was to make it automatically isomporphic by running the same code in the browser as on the servers, using node.

We also built a component/style library that allows us to make responsive designs into web and mobile apps quickly and easily. Gluestick also allows easy creation of native apps (native/react native/web views) with 90+% code sharing. We also added a bunch of features (regex based routing, etc) to help with seo. We do all of this from our single framework based on react.

We had a lot of front end 'frameworks' in use and no consistency. Now we do. It's been a lot of work, but for us totally worth it.

We also have done a bunch of optimizations to make react fast, including how we handle webviews in a react native/native app. It's seamless. I'd like to link a video, but proprietary work that isn't done...blah blah blah, company secrets, blah blah blah. We will be releasing another blog post, detailing all the native enhancements soon.

Information theory will hopefully give us deeper insight into the why. If we derive QM from information theory it might come at it from another angle and provide different insights. I had read about people trying this in the past, but not for a while...maybe it proved fruitless or uninteresting.

There is nothing special about learning to code. Learn the fundamentals, learn the math, learn how a computer works,practice, success. Seriously, if you want to be good at anything, it's always the same analogous steps.

Specify in a will if you care.

Courage like this always impresses me in a profound way. I only hope I could be this brave and humble about it.

Yes! A million times, yes! Defcon is the only Vegas conference I ever bring a burner too.

My shortened version of the answer to this topic: if they don't say yes, it's no.

I never worried about it. I just assumed I'd figure it out. But, that is survivor bias. I do know it was sometimes a major motivation to work harder. It was never a guilt thing, just I want to make sure they are OK.

I have 4 boys all healthy and a decent career. It's gone well for me, but there were scary parts...it increased the personal stress a lot in times like when my start-up/s failed.

It never hampered my ambition though. My wife and I are a team. We've spent 6 months plus apart as I pursued start-ups in Texas and during YC. I've never looked at my family as holding me back in any way.

Unfortunately, you are correct, it's all bullshit. It will take a technology revolution or divine/alien intervention to stop the coming climate apocalypse.

As someone that has been hit by a baseball hundreds of times...it's always scary, rarely hurts that much, but when it does...it sucks!

Other than the fact this story makes us all giggle...who cares?

This article is stupid. Getting fired has always been a long term positive experience for me.

Have you tried CBD?

I posted this yesterday, but the article references the huffington post, so I figured I'd drop it here too: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_586d37bce4b014e7c72ee56b

Yeah, it's obvious the money did not go into the interior. The fit and finish isn't up to par with other high end manufacturers...yet. It also doesn't handle nearly as well as a comparably priced M5 vs p85d, for example. But, most people are buying the Tesla for completely different reasons.

Maybe you are able to focus because you are happier, more into the work or task, smarter so it's easier...etc.

Yeah, except most of the time, in my experience, employees rarely try to solve problem A. They may say something or be passive aggressive, but quickly give up and become disgruntled.

As someone who has been an engineer at all levels and now an exec at a public company, I rarely give counter offers in this situation. I think there are some cases where it can work, but in most cases; if someone wants to leave, you wish them the best and move on.
