Is this the case? I was under the impression that Uber has to act as a pure play buyer-seller matching system. Otherwise the drivers aren’t independent contractors, they’re being c…

I don’t think this is a fair retort. Personal communication is not what is being looked at here. No business I’ve ever worked at has encouraged or tolerated the use of personal mes…

I get the general idea, but in this case I feel that isn't strictly applicable. OP and the parent comment are focused on tenants that don't appear to have done anything wrong or un…

I agree, I really enjoyed the author’s curiosity and writing style!

I have nothing insightful to add, I just want to say thanks for posting this! I’m on a flight right now and just went to this URL. Sure enough, it works! I know this information is…

The Levandowski lawsuit comes to mind https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Levandowski#Civil_laws... --- Edit: Since I enjoyed OP's story, I thought I should clarify a bit. I'm sp…

I'm of two minds on this, I both agree and disagree. Once a code base is a certain size, explicit but bigger can be a boon. Magic dynamic dispatch systems and other tools that simp…

There was a suicide attempt that sparked a lot of discussion about Amazon and the way they do PIPs back in 2016: https://www.geekwire.com/2016/report-amazon-employee-jumps-o... htt…

I think that’d be gibidollars (Gi$ or something like that?). All these unusual units are kinda fun, could spice up a presentation or conversation to throw in without context. It gi…

Another possible issue: arcing/stuff burning on to one of the lightning pins. IDK why it happens, it’s probably lint or something, but it’s easy enough to mitigate: If a cable stop…

The worst part is that the old “stop stop play” trick doesn’t work on any devices I have that can play disks (Xbox and computers). Every time I play a disk and hit the unskippable …

Oh snap, that is cool! Does the server use raw sockets to pull that off? Or are regular ole TCP sockets capable of this?

OP here! Great discussion, it's made me realize I should also share my favorite speed test: https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat It both tests bandwdith and gives some cool l…

Fair enough. I think technical users probably don't need this site, but I think there is value to be had (even for those technical users!). For a bit of context: I found myself usi…

Fair point! Just got all the certbot stuff set up. Wasn't too bad, though at first glance it appears there may be a bit more variance in the RTTs. Edit: I think I found a way to ge…

Super great points, I'm going to experiment with these ideas a bit and see how it goes.

This is super helpful context, thank you! I was wondering why the RTTs appeared to converge only after a couple retries, and why the first measurement was so wildly different when …

These are great points, I appreciate it! Labelling this a "ping" was a poor choice on my part. I meant ping in the RTT/latency sense, rather than an ICMP sense. Calling it "HTTP la…

Howdy HN! I find myself testing my ping from time to time, especially when my internet seems wonky while WFH. It feels like there should be an easier way test my ping than puling u…

To add insult to injury, sometimes the share sheet is really, really slow! Like several seconds with no UI feedback to indicate anything is going on! That’s quite frustrating when …

Ah, great points! The person may have said it was an exam to keep the explanation simple for others. Perhaps they didn’t match (entirely didn’t match or couldn’t match where they n…

Likely they mean one of the step exams. Med school and residency are a brutal game - the exams don’t stop till you pass the boards at or around the time you become an attending!
