    While most cars are not LFP, your claim that you won't find LFP batteries in cars is incorrect: Rivian switched to LFP: https://insideevs.com/news/720396/2025-rivian-r1s-r1t-lfp-ba…

    That’s interesting. I’ve gone to chipotle around once or twice a month for two decades now, and with the exception of their lemonades I’ve only had something unavailable maybe 3-4 …

    Using Python with Bazel is fairly common at big SV companies -- they use rules_python with it ( https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_python ). It does rely on pip for grabbing depen…

    This is a bit racist. So they cite a source with a Japanese name that sounds a bit like Satoshi Nakamoto, so he must be the same guy?

    I'm probably just feeding a troll but why would she need to look presentable if she's living isolated in a cave?

    Not all ESPP's can be sold instantly. At Asana we have to hold ours for a year before selling, so it's not risk free money.

    yes, but "android founder." What great product innovation did this guy pioneer at CB? Any justification at all for a $100M payday?

    I don't see how an exception type defined at the throw site would be significantly different than using the text of the exception to convey the type. Callers wouldn't know to expec…

    yeah I think Twitter isn't useful here. Having a dramatic change of management + a layoff + serious product upheaval is definitely different than just a layoff. Now Elon is ending …

    You really think Tesla and SpaceX have accomplished as much as they have with no one good at the company? Why is Twitter different?

    Assuming anyone is there, sure. I've changed my mind about BART late at night (next train was delay 30m, going to take an Uber instead) and had no one there to talk to.

    that’s not actually what happens at Uber. They use bazel for the go monorepo which can accurately determine what modules are affected by a given change and only runs those tests. T…

    Uber was the opposite. In ~2017 after years of hyper growth they had over 10,000 repos supporting nearly as many micro-services. The move to monorepos (technically two, one for jvm…

    Not a $120M valuation -- they raised $120M ( https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/26/fast-raises-102m-as-the-on... ) at an undisclosed valuation that must've been at least 500M. And spen…
