I mean, you’re still going to be paid a sick package - to say that no top engineer wants to work for Google is just downright inaccurate.

Should have read the fine print of our terms of joining the Alliance before you endorsed it.

Now open up, here comes the airplane

One of the most accurate ones of this format.

Floats are heresy

Verbal communication is naturally a last resort if your fellow passenger does not pick up on your non-verbal cues.

This naturally also comes with the responsibility of not accidentally showing non-verbal cues and making someone think you need to get off and as such leave their seat.

This could just as easily had been a reply with:

Microwave oatmeal

Ingredients

Oatmeal

• 1 part oatmeal (1 dl for a small meal, 2 for a bigger one)
• 1.25 parts water
• Some salt
• Optionally some psyllium seeds for extra fiber, maybe a teaspoon

Extras

• Some milk, maybe 1 dl
• Some lingonberry jam, maybe a tablespoon

1. Mix everything in a bowl
2. Microwave for 2 minutes for 1 dl oatmeal or 2.45 for 2 dl oatmeal
3. Mix with a spoon
4. Top with jam and pour over some milk (careful, it’s hot)

Ready to eat in five minutes, very low effort, produces little in the way of dishes to clean, cheap as dirt, vegetarian if using cow milk and vegan if using oat milk, and not particularly high in calories but still quite satiating. Downside is that it’s not the most exciting meal you could think of, but you arguably get more than you pay for all in all.

Hey, that’s not fair. We have a plethora of "ushekta"s to employ in various transit-related scenarios:

• I want to sit here, please jump in/remove your backpack/whatever
• I need to get off here, please allow me to exit my seat
• I bumped into you, sorry about that
• The bus is getting full and you need to move back to make space for more people

We live in a society after all

This is really cool, but why not upstream the changes instead of forking? Seems like a lost opportunity.

One tragic fact of life is that it doesn’t really take that much to become world-class as far as trains go. The HSR network alone basically places you on the podium.

Probably basically all operational expenses, with a minority being cloud expenditure and a majority being salaries for employees, if I had to guess.

I’m assuming that spez gets most of his pay in the form of stock options which doesn’t really cost the company anything real.

Why would there be any fraud? His salary is approved by the board that represents the current shareholders.

It’s also not particularly surprising on account of there being plenty of VC-subsidised companies that never turned a profit, had high salaries for their executives and then IPO’d.

If your question is moreso on the absurdities of capitalism, then that’s another discussion entirely, but I feel it’s important to note that this is nothing out of the ordinary.

I hardly know her!

Qualified tech workers combined with non-existent earnings prospects make for a perfect recipe for an exploits industry. Those things allegedly pay pretty well if you can find them.

It’s also a great recipe for brain drain, with aforementioned qualified tech workers moving out of the country.

Incredibly based.

It helps that Spain has world-class trains and are continuously investing in expanding the network.

I’m so jealous. I wish the complete shitstain right-wingers that cancelled train investment in my country were fired. (out of a cannon into the sun)

Unlikely. It’s in all likelihood just a bad business, like so many other VC-subsidised businesses that have come before them. Case in point: Uber, Airbnb, WeWork.

The whole game is to offer services at a loss for enough time to lock in customers, then raise the prices in the future.

I’ve been using James Hoffman’s technique for the Clever brewer for my Switch: https://youtu.be/RpOdennxP24 with one small change - I add some additional water during the drawdown to get a bit larger cup, I enjoy a cup with closer to 300 ml water in.

This thread reminds me that it might be time to experiment a little bit, thanks for posting!

Fermented foods have good microbes in them while they are fermenting up until something kills them - they are still very much fermented though regardless of whether the microbes are alive or not. The fundamental alteration has already happened.

Now, if you’re looking to eat them specifically for the microbes, and not for the flavour, then you’d have to look for something that has not had the microbes killed off, for sure.

It’s a really bad idea to try to hire at this point to try to remedy a scaling issue. They are likely already low on resources dealing with the problems, having to try to onboard someone at this point will make the problem worse - see Brooks’ Law from The Mythical Man-Month.

Two-star day. A lot of good things going on - the weather is great, and good things are happening at work, but I slept awfully and that really puts a damper on things.
