Literal moonshots or monumental efforts?

Of course it is beside the point. I was being pedantic to the pedantic "they can have priority when they show up", where I presumed "they" was the goddesses.

I didn't realize Greece the country stopped existing.

> she cut their rights to work remotely

Do you have a citation that mothers at Yahoo complained? Or that mothers at Yahoo were non-trivially worse off than other companies in their situation at that time?

Weird, are you the same poster as in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19607028, or did they copy paste your comment?

Ha, I added the qq so you would interpret my comment as the question it was, rather than an attack.

I didn't realize that EV vehicles paid for the charging, I thought it was free. If paid then it's a nice to have that leverages the long time you spend at the park anyway.

qq: why is an expectation that there must be charging spots for electric cars? Dedicated parking lots for green vehicles, sure I can see some logic behind cities enforcing that. But I don't show up at your parking lot and expect a mini gas pump at my spot.

Haha, we are watching a movie with a close friend couple that have a kid. We went from a movie a week to once in 6 months or so

Yeah, most movies hit almost 2.5 hours. For me, many movies build up really well to the intermission and then take some time to get back to that intensity and setting up for the climax. Then how well the climax is done determines where it ends up, rating wise.

It's also standard to spend money on snacks during the intermission.

Oh, I took OPs comments to mean several sittings per movie. While Lawrence of Arabia is an outlier imo, most Indian movies have an intermission (and make up the majority of what I watch)

> Esp long movies like "Wolf of Wall Street" are not practical to watch in a single sitting.

Ha ha, some moviebuffs will skewer you for saying that (about any movie). I feel your pain on the 48h limit though.

(no snark intended)

> one with a good critical eye

can you point me to a few things that are proof of this? I only know her from her yahoo/marissa bashing back in the day, which used sources inside the company. This was weird for me because yahoo and google were nominally competitors, and kara was married to a google vp at that time.

(i'm ex-yahoo)

Haha, the article calls it out as well

"Even with his celebration (and an untied shoelace) he set a new world record of 9.69 seconds."

> Though car insurance is a weird racket

Ha, I don't think I agree with you on the topic at hand, but this is something I'll get behind.

Is it typically free to invoke that insurance? Typically my driving insurance goes up if I make a claim. (Assuming someone stealing from you is not your fault)

> I don't think you deserve more credit than anybody having a net worth of $10k donating $100

Well $100 isn't worth shit in the big picture, so no, contributing millions is objectively more useful than contributing $100

My wife has been at amazon (aws) about two years now.

She worries about her customers' problems, and is obsessed with using the right tools to solve them. Unless she is a great actor she has had a fantastic time there.

If things like "be able to work on OSS or \"modern\" tech" is what you want, go somewhere that allows it.

Edit: Should say "go somewhere that is known to allow it for all engineers".

Well they are talking about getting a 3rd master's degree, so their estimation of good and bad might not be in line with widely accepted answers

> I can't recall a single manager that wasn't getting in the way of doing things in my past working experience (top engineering companies everybody wanted to get into)

To counter your anecdote with one, I work at a reasonably famous tech company in SF, and my manager has definitely elevated my productivity as well the amount of things I had visibility into.

I'm switching teams in a week and one of my big regrets is leaving my manager.

Plan to, I agree with that. But "Expect to" as well?

I'm asking mostly rhetorically (since I know of a handful of people that applied as well as got their non-EB1 green cards within the span of my lifetime), but slightly curiously as well (if you know any recent trends, etc).

Plan to is absolutely the best advice as far as I'm concerned

disclaimer: Used hangouts and zoom extensively, for several years now.

Unless Google rewrites or majorly reworks hangouts, it's not going to touch zoom. You do need to be worried about msft building something though, almost anything is better than hangouts right now.

No, I never ever go over the speed limit (except for the minor single digit breaches that happen when I'm not in cruise mode, etc.). But that's kind of a stupid question to ask, it's a super straightforward decision (at least for me) to follow the law when driving.

Sorry, the phrase risk/rewards was a trigger. I know acquaintances that drive in the carpool lane because they can afford to pay the fine if caught, and brag about it. You seemed to fall in that camp (vs thinking about higher level, heavily debated laws like the ones about homosexuality), but clearly that wasn't the case!

Some HN-ers would say "why dictate a 7-year old, let them watch what they find", then head to a YouTube kids thread and brag about only giving their kids 1990s style phones.

> My sense of “honesty” isn’t dictated by the government.

> Now whether I obey the law is determined strictly by a risk/rewards calculation

That's the most intellectually dishonest answer I've seen to "I followed the law in a specific scenario".

Ha ha you framed the question quite stringently. Even I (haven't been to an american-style party) have been in situations where someone refused alcohol because they were <21.

> If someone uses my power tools in my store to hurt someone,

I think you are unable to separate your dislike of facebook from logic. Let's not pretend that facebook was the cause of hurt, and give the shooter a free pass.

> , we had a limit on how many units could rent out at once anyway so they never were going to have enough numbers

What does this mean? If I owned a house in your neighborhood and had to move away for work, my options are to sell the house, or get on a waitlist till the number of houses rented out reduces?

As someone that's never owned a house, that sounds like a shitty rule that should be disrupted. I'm assuming there is a positive side to that only homeowners can see.

Similar to how a much better developer has an advantage over me in an interview

You'd think so. In reality, only a vocal and miniscule minority cares about such things. The sweet discounts and price cuts sells their phones really well to the majority
