If you pay attention to the WARN layoffs notices you'd also see they fired at a much higher rate in Seattle compared to Bellevue.
So faster hiring east side. Faster firing west side.
It's a soft relocation
If you're big in the google ecosystem it makes sense:
- gemini-cli can have remote a2a agents connected to it. (See https://github.com/tanaikech/gemini-cli-gas-a2a-subagents and the medium article linked in that repo description.) Haven't tried it but I tried the local use case below.
- can expose a custom Google ADK "agent" via one-liner as a2a, which you can connect to the gemini-cli the same way.
Seems like the Instagram handle will be the Threads handle. IG, like Twitter rely on the handle concept, whereas Facebook never really did in the same manner.
That being said, I wish there were more layers as the functionality out of the box is very very limited.
The record layer https://github.com/FoundationDB/fdb-record-layer which allows to store protobuf, and define the primary keys and index directly on those proto fields is truly amazing:

Where did you get the 12 million number from?

Not quite sure there's a golf course there. Here's an overview of the same jail a "real housewives of salt lake city" is in.

"It’s unclear why Shah asked to serve at that specific prison but People says other notable inmates who have been sent to the Bryan camp have included Hidalgo County, Texas, Commissioner Sylvia Handy; Jenna Ryan, who participated in the January 6 Capitol attack; and Lea Fastow, a former assistant treasurer at Enron."

I wonder if the buildings have A/C. Summer in Texas can be pretty hot

Avoiding SSO to keep access even if you loose access to bigCo email has been working well, but unfortunately more & more websites are moving away from password to instead verification code in the email.
Sure there are advantages to it, but if the email is bigCo, it effectively has the same drawbacks as SSO from same bigCo (i.e unfair account suspension, you're screwed)
With email+password, even if you lost access to let's say your Gmail, you can still login with that Gmail address and your password and go change the email in your account profile.

When it comes to the G-Forces being pushed on you, many roller coasters have peak G’s at or above these limits. Most people are probably familiar with the different rides at Walt Disney World so let’s use those for examples. At EPCOT, Mission Space is a centrifuge-based ride where you go through a simulated launch and landing on Mars. The sustained G’s on that ride is 2.5 G’s, close to how many G’s New Shepard will experience during launch.
For the descent, Blue Origin says you must be able to withstand 5.5 G’s, if you ever rode Rock ‘n Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you would have experienced up to 5 G’s during the initial launch of the ride.
Epcot Mission Space (the "Orange" version) is pretty intense as it's really sustained G-forces, but manageable. During the ride, you have to reach in front of you to press some buttons, and that's when you feel the G-forces most. But for SpaceX/BlueOrigin, passengers do nothing.
Rock n Roller Coaster itself for the peak G is done by kids, not a big deal.
I don't see the FBI director mention that Sars-Cov2 was engineered anywhere. He said "probably the result of a laboratory leak".
If someone runs a lab, and they have Ebola or other virus in their fridges, and it leaks due to poor handling practice, that doesn't mean Ebola was engineered...
So it's possible to agree with both the opinions of the virologists-podcasters AND of the director of the FBI, isn't it?
Never used command line for profiles, I'd just go type "about:profiles" > "Launch profile in new browser".
This opens a new window with that profile, but you can switch between each window at will.
The lack of discoverability of that "about:profiles" page is indeed a UX issue compared to chrome, but other that that it works pretty well.
For most use cases, I find the more lightweight multi-account-containers more useful though.
That argument makes no sense, because we do not want to mirror other countries.
Tit-for-tat is literally how agreements around the world works.
"Reciprocity treaty" if you want to make it fancy sounding, but it's just "tit-for-tat" for Taxes, Tariffs, Visitor visa & rules, etc.
Cool, now what's the incidence of Myocarditis and similar after COVID-19 infection?
Which mechanism would cause myocarditis when you get COVID 19?
The 2nd link in nradov's comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33599243) states:
These findings indicate that introducing the mRNA vaccine into the circulatory system can lead to acute cardiac inflammation. The mechanism behind this requires further elucidation. However, it is speculated that this may be due to the pro-inflammatory properties of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) used as carriers for mRNA.
The actual COVID-19 infection doesn't have any lipid nanoparticles, does it?
Agree with overall sentiment of your comment though: the overall real-bad symptoms caused by an infection when fully unvaccinated are probably not worth skipping vaccine.
The clinical trials in op's article as well as nradov's comment on "aspiration" to reduce myocarditis risk during vaccination are both important topics to explore.
Very interesting read, especially the ELI5 part before the DeFi story.
Are the 3 ways explained to cover a margin call how it works in practice? can one choose either of these 3 options?
Fourth grade math. If you have $110 million in assets and $100 million in liabilities you are said to be levered 10:1.
Actually got some trouble on the 4th grade math ... morning coffee not working properly?
$110m assets - $100m liabilities = $10m of "surplus".
liabilities:surplus ratio is 100:10 --> 10:1.
You’ve got $1,600 in assets against $1,000 in debt, so $600 in equity, so ~1.67:1 levered.
here liability = 1000, a better name for the surplus is "equity" at 600,
1000:600 ratio --> ~1.67:1
4th grade math checks out :)

Your work matters. It’s okay to fight for it in your schedule.
Nice conclusion, but half of the solution in this article is to work "12:00 to 4:00 every Saturday"...
Does your work matter that much that you have to sacrifice every weekends?
My 2¢: fight harder to carve time during weekdays instead
Ah true, maybe they have higher operating costs on pantograph and/or the power lines maintenance?
(I don't fully believe GP's comment of "The engineer that can solve this problem will allow top speeds in the range of 400/500 kph on /existing/ TGV tracks.", as narrow turns is probably a bigger contraint than the pantograph problem. Maybe a few of the more straight lines can benefit, but there's more constraints to solve before taking turns at 400/500 kph!)
They're maglev trains, so there's no pantograph involved there.
https://youtu.be/_ZZMViMDjto at 16:40 explains the problem. It's in french, but you can get the gist visually as it's a for-kids documentary.
Tldr is a wave on the cable is created at high speed, making it impossible for the train to stay in contact with the cable. The documentary also touches on another top speed limitation: how agressive the turn angles are, limiting the top speed.
Same happened with simply a cable plugged, I think the jack cable acted as an antenna.
The length of the cable would be a multiple of the right frequency or something like that, it'd catch a random AM radio
Just like mortgage brokers are obligated to send you an official, standardized "loan estimate" when you ask about a mortgage, dealership should have something similar with cars.
Specifically: the car is only the first part, then there's extra warranties from dealership, financing, etc.
A standardized quote that gives you the price of these optional items would go a long way in making the experience smooth.
Private companies can solve the issues themselves (Carvana), but that's coming at a significant $ premium so far.
The FTC rule mentioned in the article mentions this:
Require full upfront disclosure of costs and conditions: The proposal would require dealers to make key disclosures to consumers, including providing a true “offering price” for a vehicle that would be full price a consumer would pay, excluding only taxes and government fees. It would also require dealers to make disclosures about optional add-on fees, including their price and the fact that they are not required as a condition of purchasing or leasing the vehicle, along with disclosures to consumers with key information about financing terms.
The mortgage interest deduction has a cap though, right?
https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/home-ownership/deductin... seems to indicate there's a cap on the amount, as well as number of homes (only primary and secondary, not third, fourth etc)
Or are people going around those caps somehow?
i don't understand this part. you already have your salary, as negotiated
In FAANG your salary is only a small part of your compensation.
At end of year, based on your perceived performance, you get:
- a bonus (10 to 20+% of base salary)
- a stock refresh (80 to 120k over 4 years for instance for entry level/mid-level)
- a merit increase of your base salary
All these 3 influence your compensation significantly.
You can do the math, someone starting at let's say 140k base with 4 years of 15% bonus, 80k refresh, 2% merit raise, will have a different compensation than someone who's also starting at 140k but with 4 years of 20% bonus, 110k refresh, 4% merit raise
Apparently it's helpful to more than epilepsy, from a study this month: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/diagnosis-diet/20220...
Symptoms of depression and psychosis improved in all 28 patients who followed the diet for longer than two weeks, with improvements becoming noticeable within three weeks or less. 43% of patients achieved clinical remission, and 64% were discharged from the hospital on less psychiatric medication.
It's amazing that results were seen in just 3 weeks
interestingly, it seems handshakes aren't just about the strength of grip. People smell their hands after handshakes for chemosignaling: https://elifesciences.org/articles/05154
"We found that humans often sniff their own hands, and selectively increase this behavior after handshake"
Since founders are commenting here. getlago.com webpage is strange:

Is there some humor attempt lost in translation here?
The first part seems to accurately describe the sad state of affairs regarding European VCs that are too risk averse, and, in this particular example of deliveries-by-bike, unoriginal.
But the last part about the Utopia seems like 100% sarcasm?
It's not an indiscriminate lossy compression though, it's a summary your brain finely tuned for a specific audience: yourself.
What's cool in this whole intelligence process is we get to refine the algorithm of what exactly it is we want to keep in the summary.
In "discarding features that aren't relevant" mentioned in the article, we subconsciously pick what is and what isn't relevant.
That's why I think we sometimes have such vivid memories of some childhood scenes: something new happened, our algorithm at that time didn't know what was "relevant", so out of safety it decides to store everything.
I worked for GCP for several years before. Impact in promo is defined within the same group
Did you personally go through promo from L6 to 7 or L7 to 8 since that's what the OP thread is about?(or have seen the process from sufficiently close).
I can see how your description of impact & promo would work when there's enough people inside the group to compare from (i.e other L4s, L5s, L6s), but when going L7 & L8 there might not be enough people in the group. Plus the folks at that level would be the one defining the goals, so it seems logical that they can't get promoted on that criteria.
