Ecobee smart thermostat. I’m the only one in the family that knows how to change the temperature now.

That would be good. I only said that his "lawmakers who later ascend to leadership positions perform similarly to matched peers beforehand but outperform them by 47 percentage points annually after ascension." is way too long. I guess other people disagreed because I got some downvotes.

So, you want a title that is 5 lines long? It’s a fair criticism, but maybe it’s just too difficult to summarize in a title.

They are very different.
In scenario A, the labor of watching the kids is untaxed.
In Scenario B is Avery watches many kids and the effort per kid is reduced, but you get taxed.

The card is so impressive that it doesn’t matter much, but I think that if you remove half of the text in that card and make it very legible it would burn your name into people’s brain.
gcapu | 7 months ago | on: Ultrathin business card runs a fluid simulation
For the most part I agree, but the purpose of a business card is to be read. You can barely read that text.

Amazing project, but the font on the back of the card is gross.

My only complaint is that the leaf arrived, but they didn't stamp it. I can't prove to people that it was actually mailed.

They also allow you to mail Sea Grape leaves as if they were postcards. I did it many times, and here's an old post I found that also confirms it.

Where is this image from? Were you able to try the model?

If this was a public company I would put my tin foil hat and believe that it's a quick buck scheme to boost CEO pay. A short sighted action that is not in the shareholders interest. But I guess that's not the case? Who knows...

If you offer a service, you have some responsibility towards your users. One of those responsibilities is to give enough notice about changes. IMO, this change doesn't provide enough notice. Why not making it a year, or at least a couple of months? Probably because they don't want people to have enough notice to force their hand.

Maybe you're right, but we'll never know. It would be great if they allowed some sections to develop so we can test it out. To me it is a desirable location because of the companies, not the lifestyle.

They are probably removing the best 10%, the ones that can find other jobs. I’ve seen it at my previous job.

I had a baby. Months later, UH retroactively denied all birth and baby care claims. They claimed I had other insurance, which I don’t. Now I get to prove a negative. So fun.

There's people burned to death all over the US. Most of them were murdered by negligent road engineers.

Crime reports are manipulated. A friend got hit in the head and NYPD refused to register it. Despite that, NYC is very safe compared to most of the US, and articles that say otherwise are just trying to manipulate you.

I thought that according law they are distributors, not publishers. That’s how they avoid liability for all the damage they do. They really try to have it both ways

Right now GCP and lambda cloud have almost no GPUs available. I would have done better on prem.

We already have that. You get a big deduction for one of your houses if you live in it.
