    This is the current talking point du-jour of the American progressive left, but I think it's safe to say the Fed knows what they're doing and have done this before.

    This is very much me to a T, even including waking up far too early and having difficulty getting back to sleep. It's absolutely bizarre how it seems like difference in 15-30 minut…

    Prior to the 70s, rangers weren't law enforcement officers. This changed with the Yosemite/Stoneman riot.

    Yeah I'm not so sure though. I'm 1900 rated tactics on lichess but a middling 1300 on normal games. Perhaps it might be due to playing blitz where I don't have lots of time to thin…

    It's similar to a lot of the people voting yes on 23: they want to stick it to the dialysis companies. I get that, but how is the prime consideration here not patient care? Drives …

    This is pretty cool. Is the comment processing restricted to some period of time? Maybe considering linking to Goodreads as well?

    900BB/100 is absolutely not typical for any high stakes game I've ever seen. It's unrealistic.

    Taking a look at his BB/100 (big blinds per 100 hands) versus "normal" players (and against potripper, a known cheater) shows just how out of the ordinary Postle is playing: https:…

    Excellent series. I thought Sanderson's writing noticeably improved with each book, as well. Humbly suggest jumping into The Stormlight Archive next!

    I almost gave up on this series halfway through book one, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. The characters were fantastic, the world was wonderfully built, and there was just.. so m…

    This has been around for years. Besides messaging, there was a plane-wide chat. Pretty fun to ask people how first class is :)

    Hey! Just wanted to say that although you haven't come to my house yet, everyone I've talked to in Alameda loves you guys. Having worked at an ISP startup, I know how tough it is t…

    I haven't had any issues sleeping in Amtrak coach seats the handful of times I've taken overnight train trips. I sleep much better than on airline coach. Amtrak seats recline prett…

    I strongly disagree with this sort of attitude. It scares people away from learning how cryptography works. We should be encouraging everyone to write their own crypto: it's a fant…

    How do you suggest structuring an interview to find candidates who are able to think abstractly? I don't think the current trivia-esque style interview works.

    While I never worked directly with dkarchmer, he was a pretty well respected director at Altera. I value his opinion here highly (not to mention it makes sense).

    That was almost certainly a rewards card that tracks peoples playing for comps. Every slot machine I've ever seen still requires you to insert either cash or a ticket cashed out fr…
