That's why dosing is by weight and for children is a liquid, so the dose can be adjusted easily.

The Traitorous Eight would only have been possible in California, not Washington, because of the position on noncompetes.

As an FYI, we _do_ use Figma Slides internally for pretty much everything

I think this is part of the issue. How much of the internal use stays within the editor view? Do you have any internal stakeholders who won’t click a Figma link and instead want a PPT or PDF? Because those are normal requests for presentations - but not ones that you’d find with internal use.

For example, there needs to be a way to export to PDF that’s less than several hundred MB. And the PPT export is hopelessly broken - the outputs look like a clipped ransom letter.

EEOC is based on national origin not nationality.

I see no reason to stop them

This sort of a non-compete would almost have certainly resulted in Zoom not being built.

one should also keep in mind that people (especially engineers) are extremely biased and tend to drastically overestimate the cost of mistakes

I've found the opposite to be true, especially with engineers moving from pure software to founding companies in regulated industries such as aerospace or medical devices.

That article explicitly states that it doesn’t account for the energy or emissions required to produce the fuel.

The lifecycle emissions of an EV depend on how the electricity was generated, and the total emissions of cycling depends on the diet of the cyclist - even though the energy per distance is the same regardless.

without wasting the time of the people who don't need to be part of it

In my experience, the very people who think these cross-team sync meetings are a waste that they don't need to be a part of are the first to make noise that they weren't consulted or included in a discussion that actually doesn't impact them.

Thanks and fixed!

It really depends on the airline, but it's fairly common to put newer aircraft with WiFi on more business-heavy routes, and put the older aircraft on more tourist-heavy routes where passengers are more cost conscious and probably won't pay for the WiFi or other amenities either.

How did Tuchu's highlighting compared to the abstract?

I use the example of publics works projects in San Francisco. There's a road called Van Ness that is going to have a bus rapid transit lane running down the middle of it. Should be really easy to do. But it's been about a decade and they're just hitting the last steps now. Why? Well, they needed to also upgrade the utilities below. But when they dug they found layer after layer of abandoned utilities, undocumented utilities, etc. So what should have been a simple operation dragged out for years because each action revealed something new.

The city now wants to add bike lanes to Market Street and is anticipating the same issues.

Kind of like this?

It is a rare company that spends money and resources on verifying from their users' point of view that they're being delivered what was promised -- unless that company actively cares about the user.

I have gotten a check from the CA Treasurer on a few occasions because I didn’t check some box and take a tax deduction that I was entitled to. Not a company, and certainly if I underpaid the state would come after me to be made whole. But some organizations do work both ways.

What’s the value of the land and the sweat equity? You may have paid $100k and time but the buyer is paying all in currency for the finished product.

Youtube works this way to some extent.

Not surprising in general, but given the reality that SF is the most tech-dense city in the world, it's an interesting observation that people perceive jobs to be scarce enough that the opportunity cost of leaving is worth more immediate employment.

Yes. That’s why they’re laying people off, and why Uber stock is up in after hours trading. Because of these layoffs, their margins have actually improved. Doesn’t make things any better for the people who find themselves without a job, though.

This is older analysis [1] but Uber is profitable on each ride in their biggest markets until you deduct the OPEX of the main co. The burn of sales, marketing, engineering, support, their rider safety team, the driver inspection and on boarding centers, leases, etc all continue on with or without riders.

I'm not so sure. Airlines have sent huge numbers of their aircraft to the desert for storage, so quickly spinning up flight supply and then spinning that back down will be expensive.

But numbers can change

They could, but I just tried calling the numbers on the back of two cards from merged/acquired banks and they both forwarded to the acquiring bank. Yes it's a small sample size, but I suspect that there's enough money on the line and enough legacy contracts and systems that banks keep their communication channels active for some time.

I’ve been asked to “call the number printed on the back of [my] card” which would be much harder to spoof.

Scroll down and click "city" instead of country. SF bookings on OpenTable were consistently down starting the last week of February. Your restaurant might have had different performance for a number of reasons.

Have the demand letters worked out so far?

[Follow up]. They just released gerbers, BOMs, and other documents. Some key parts are still unavailable in quantity, unfortunately.

Exactly.

The press reads as if anyone with access to a factory capable of manufacturing electrical systems with custom enclosures could pull the files, place some orders, and start pumping units out as soon as their tooling was ready.

Not only are the files incomplete to actually go into production, they’ve picked a model where the components are not readily available on the open market in quantities large enough to have an impact corresponding to effort. IC4 is some variant of the ST10F27 (can’t make out the last digit from the low res pdf they’ve provided), and there are only a few thousand of all variants of that chip available online with quotes lead times of up to 30 weeks.

I was initially pleasantly surprised with this release but tweeted my disappointment pretty quickly. Even with a schematic it can take months to get the layout right and validated on a line, build and setup the test apparatus...

Apparently, given the recent education push, most people didn’t know how to wash their hands properly either. The answer isn’t to give up, it’s to educate.
