So, a search engine, then!

At my former company, they used a product to search across Google docs, confluence docs, help desk tickets, Amy source of tickets and documents they could get their hands on. It was actually quite useful!

I use apagard premio, came across it while doing research a couple of years ago (4-5) on nano hydroxyapatite. I've never really had problems with my adult teeth and I continue to not have problems, so at the very least, in my case, is not any worse than fluoride toothpaste. My dentist loves my teeth :D she told me whatever I'm doing, don't change a single thing.

I was laid off a month ago, senior frontend engineer. I've reached out to my network and have been talking to various startups, but it seems like most of the bigger companies do not want to bite.

Compounding that is my desire to keep working remotely, or somewhere local to the DC metro area, so many of the same opportunities that would be available to me in the Bay area, had I remained there, are closed to me, because they're using a hybrid model.

I'm not in much of a rush, and I'm hopeful that I'll find interesting work with some startup.

That's so great to hear!

I went to high school with someone who took a path like yours - his parents were not sure about his ability to live a comfortable life going into pro Dota. But I'm so glad you folks are able to do what you love and make a good living.

I'm a big fan of Uprise as a concept - financial literacy isn't something that is taught in schools in the US, but it really should be.

More on topic to the thread: As context, I'm interested in buying a house so I have the money for the down payment held with VMFXX for the moment. What other ways could I consider holding a sum of money in a relatively liquid way?

Having used to work at Capital One within Shared Tech, I worked with a lot of really brilliant engineers who could easily have been working at FAANG. That being said, they didn't pay as well as FAANG so a lot of us moved on.

I'm not surprised at all by this move, there's a lot of solutions at Capital One that can be monetized. The company is so large that there's redundant solutions concurrently developed by different teams, inevitably someone was going to work the bureaucracy to start selling SaaS

It's interesting to note that the effect of some good being free holds its power if we know that the good is not usually free.

It would be interesting if the article had more research on what the emotions of users when they come across a paywall. For example, I get irrationally upset when I see a paywall, even though I logically know that content writers deserve to be paid.

The fact that less than 20% of Americans will pay for news almost certainly makes the subscriptions more expensive for the percentage of users who will actually pay. Does the price affect how upset someone gets? I know for me, I don't even look at the price, I never intended on paying since I've been conditioned to expect articles to be free.

What's shocking is that similarity in values don't seem to be a predictor of happiness in a relationship.

Could it be that for those in relationships with differences, if the difference were significant enough, they merely wouldn't be in a relationship at all, and wouldn't be in the sample data?

For any given community, seeing creators that look like themselves is extremely empowering. It inspires not only others who are similar to them to find the courage to create, but provides the community with support - that there are people out there similar to them, and is foundational for the next generation of creators. Bravo!

So I keep hearing that omega 6s are bad and lead to heart disease and this has increased since industrial seed oils came into being, but aren't butter and lard also bad because of saturated fats? I simply don't know what to cook with that is supposed to be healthy.

I suspect if I'm confused, many others must be in similar positions.

I'd be fairly concerned if undersea mining waste or debris started killing off phytoplankton, perhaps by disrupting any of the delicate cycles such as phosphorus, or providing extra iron which may lead to runaway algal blooms or such, and subsequent algal death and oxygen shortage. Since the mining is so deep, we don't know if these effects will stay localized, or if undersea currents will dilute these effects, or anything.

It should be valid to question what harm there could be. Nature is quite fragile, and we should know that, especially seeing what harm industrial processes have had on the atmosphere.

On the other hand, it's quite possible that undersea mining may produce less harm than surface mining, where waste gets dliuted far enough to have less impact. Maybe similar to how salmon farming has to be done where there's a strong enough current to dilute the waste.

Congrats on 1.0!

I recently started developing a game in my spare time, and discovered Ink, which has tremendously simplified development of conversations and managing conversational state.

I've found Ink to be quite flexible, If someone wanted to, they could manage their entire game state with Ink.

Live recompilation of my ink script in Unity will be very helpful!

My apartment in SF does not have a kitchen. Food provided by the company helped me get by! With no car, and only a handful of restaurant options within 1 mile, it's not the easiest to get by without a company cafeteria. I can sympathize with why many people would like to be able to expense food.

That is to let them spit their sand out, and it only takes about 20 minutes.

If you want to let them spit overnight, you should put them into salt water, fresh water will kill them.

Most shellfish for consumption are farmed, and it's really important that they're grown in clean water to taste good, especially if the intent is to eat them raw.
