It was mostly fun but also a bit sketchy. Frequently I'd wind up helping students with their CS homework which is questionable but usually pleasant work.

Occasionally I'd run into a "hard case" such as the person who wanted me to make changes to the production SQL Server database where it wasn't clear to me that he had permission to make the changes and I didn't want to be responsible for messing the system up. (Which would have been a risk no matter what but I hadn't admined a SQL server database in years at that point.)
I do. No one is saying "no parent has ever tried this genius idea". They're just saying that it's useful to have a study on it, and parameters around how long one should remain sitting before attempting to lay the baby down. Also, you're moving the goalposts. Your original comment said derided the idea about walking a baby to sleep. But that shows you missed the point of the study, which was not about walking at all, but rather the next step.

That step is apparently not super obvious because this grabbed over 300 upvotes on HN, no small feat.

Even if it was obvious to some, parents of newborns are often (always?) sleep-deprived, so it might be hard for them to remember how well it worked to hold the baby still for 2, 4, or 6 minutes. I didn't have especially difficult sleepers, but it would have been nice to have seen this data back when we had tiny ones.

> Even if it is government under the hood you have to know what you're accused of.

This is exactly why the whole process is suspect. The government farms out the policing of certain financial crimes onto the financial institutions as a prerequisite for operating the business. If the government came along and froze your bank account you’d have a right to ask why and a right to get some answers. But instead the government pawns the responsibility off onto businesses and then prohibits those businesses from telling you why.

And so the BSA and Patriot Act effectively allow the government to take your property and take away your right to confront the government about why they took your property. And it’s all on merely a vague suspicion of misconduct. No proof whatsoever.

I can’t help but laugh at the irony— the federal government laundering their otherwise unconstitutional activities through the banks.

There also is a difference in velocity and in expected air pressure, airplanes don’t have to bother about not creating pressure waves for planes passing them at a few meters distance while flying in the reverse direction and airplanes are relatively much longer than air planes compared to their width. That means that a much larger fraction of the air resistance comes from the sides of the train.

I don't agree this is the best way. Section 1031 benefits the usual homeowners as well as the investors. Do you own a primary home and want to upgrade? Too bad because when you sell, you will have less money to buy a bigger house. Most people will opt to upgrade when they can and rent out their old home, which won't solve the supply issue.

I'm willing to wager this is a way to try to look good for keeping the employees you pay less to do the same job. If employee pay is 'confidential' at Twilio I would be willing to wager a very large sum indeed.

Why do I think this is underhanded? Because you can do this and also not strut around and flaunt it. If you believe it is morally preferable to lay a white person off rather than another person to counter injustice, you don't help anyone involved by mentioning it. It foments anger and resentment among the laid off employees who are already having one of the worst days of their life, and who gains from broadcasting it? Just Twilio's management.
no, traffic lights are efficiency.

Traffic is easily modeled as buffers and context switching. As traffic flows through an intersection, the buffer for that direction drains. When it switches, there is a penalty to context switch (the traffic must come to a stop, some traffic must finish through the intersection). The perpendicular buffer (which has been filling), requires the intersection to clear completely before proceeding. Then its buffer can empty.

4-way stop signs introduce context switching for every car (the intersection must clear before proceeding) and you must stop every intersection, buffer stalls.

Round-abouts ensure more rapid context switching (only wait for the car to your left to clear), no waiting for an empty buffer to continue to be empty, and fewer buffers per intersection (think left turn buffer, right turn buffer).

Dude willing to negotiate. All about making things more expensive and charging cost-plus. Dude like hospitals $120 for a box of tissue paper. Negreation.

Very negreated market. Everybody squeezing, everybody trying to corner, everybody seeking to conspire, everybody out to fuck you. Less so as you go inland, but to an extent still. Just considered easy money. You and me, anybody who hasn't bought in yet gets negreated. Anything but supply and demand. Dude that's why startups attempt to take on this kind of markets and always fail, that medicine and education, always nosedive, why? Highly negreated. Negreado, treated like a source of free labor, ie like negros especially bozales (direct from Africa) were exploited in Chile. It's supposed to be real estate agents just make shitloads of free money. Like three phone calls boom 60000 USD. No effort. Just sleazing. Connections. Access. So it can't be disrupted, really. The whole industry is set up as an economic army prepared for disruption with...with anything. Everything on the table. You think the entrepreneurs before 2006 couldn't see inefficiencies? Couldn't say hey I can do it better? Didn't have the internet? There were phone lines, there was fax, sneakernet, there was tons, and there was internet going back to the 80's. A professor told me of a spreadsheet business online in the 80's. Dude, the reason disruption can't happen is because everybody backstabs it right away. The industry is that. Also sometimes build houses, also sometimes prescribe some pills, also sometimes actually hand out sheepskins. But the intent is to deny, not supply.

Deny and demand.
> Never heard of Figma

> Says it’s a niche product not worth $20B

You’re definitely not aware of how Figma changed the game and how essential it is to web design today. Whether you’re a solo designer, a freelancer, a startup, a tech company, a UX team in a major company… Figma just works. And just makes sense. Their velocity is fantastic. They launch features every few months. The performance is incredible. The ease of use is phenomenal. The collaboration capabilities are perfectly integrated. Even developers use it and love it.

They have taken the market by storm. And it’s a huge market.

You don’t seem to be part of that target market, and that’s fine. But saying Figma joining Adobe is a plus just shows how little you know about Figma and the web design world in general.

The problem is with recurring payments. If you used this approach and 1/3 of your customers were initially billed through Stripe, then if Stripe bans you then you can't charge the next month's bill through something else because you don't have the stored data for it, you have to ask them to re-enter data in another processor's system.

No, it's simple addition for all candidates.

You either got a vote from a person or not, leave it at that.

Currently you have Alaska being majority red but Pelosi losing to a Democrat, I wonder how that happened.

But certain people when they lose want to change things, whether it's advocating abolishing the Electoral College or implementing a complex RCV system to create arbitrary rules to tip the scales to candidates they favor.

-- edit @mikeyouse --

No I'm not mad, as I said I prefer to live in a place that has a simpler voting system where it's easy for everyone verify the vote and be confident in the system.

I'm maybe more disappointed in people allowing it and being that naive.

Do you feel the same way about the tax code or should just voting be complicated?

How do you feel about the EC system? Were you advocating getting rid of it recently?

There's a certain group of people wanting to flip the game table up here recently.

-- edit @ceejayoz --

So the flipside of your statement would be you "grumping" about the simpler system.

Has RCV solved the split vote issue? Hint: no it hasn't. Nor was that ever really a problem, just an excuse to implement RCV.

-- edit @esoterica --

That's an extremely partisan take and not at all what I've heard from Alaskan friends. Pelosi is well respected in the party and in the state, no matter what liberals think, they usually mix her up with Tina Fey anyways.

How does that work for bicycles? As a cyclist most roundabouts are OK but busy multi-lane ones can be pretty terrifying if you need to turn against the traffic flow (i.e., taking the 3rd exit, right for me, but left if in the US or any country you drive/ride on the right side of the road). I've yet to see a decent solution to that.
I hear you, but these excellent YouTube recommendations and Google App stories tuned so precisely to my interests wouldn't even be remotely as good unless I permitted myself to be data-surveilled.

This is a common refrain of the American exceptionalism narrative. The implication is pretty clear: anything bad must necessarily be un-American, and the solution is to be more American (whatever that means).
Why do you think that other companies will see an uptick in users from this? Most companies are not going to renegotiate contracts, update all their processes and tools, and retrain all their users just because this got bought by Adobe (which they are probably already paying for other tools). This absolutely reduces competition.
There were two Republicans in the race and one was Sarah Palin. People in Alaska have strong opinions about her, especially after she quit the governorship half-way through to go be a reality TV actor. There were many GOP voters that chose the other republican as their first choice and the Democrat as their second because they disliked Palin more than an R after her name could make up for.

In fact, this seems like the perfect example of ranked-choice voting giving people the outcome they preferred.
> I bought a house recently so I'm theoretically on the losing side of any drop in home prices resulting from this

Are you actually? We recently bought a house pre rising rates. We got a great financing. And if we refinance now we immediately cut 10% of the debt. We don’t intent to sell anytime soon. Looking at the market, even with lower prices now, it would still have been more expensive to finance a purchase after interest increases.

From our perspective it looks like recently having bought is the best position you could be in, except of cause for having bought a decade ago or a decade before etc.
