I appreciate this intent. I do wonder: do any of your team use this setting? I, too left VS Code after having to disable Copilot for the umpteenth time in a fit of frustration. I w…

Yes, if you assume coffee costs half as much as previously stated, it does almost halve the cost.

Might want to check your math there. At $20/lb, zero waste (!!), 18g of coffee is $0.80/shot. Add in 10-15% waste (accurately predicting exact supply of beans is almost impossible,…

Not going to enter into anymore baiting, but no — that is not at all the extent of Chapter 7's protections against external fire. https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IBC2018/chapter-…

Chapter 7 addresses both interior and exterior fires. Exterior fires are a danger to buildings everywhere (see: Great Chicago Fire).

It is never really that simple. Here is a thought experiment: How does the idea of defensible space work if your neighbor's walls are 5 feet from your walls? What happens when an e…

Many comments seem to be under the impression that we do not know or do not choose to build fire-resistant buildings. We do know how. It is required by code. Chapter 7 of the IBC c…

It is not anything even remotely like that. Fuck, I love programmers.

I have seen a lot of companies, a lot of rounds. I have known zero founders who have turned down an option to take money off the table (and zero A raises that offered that to emplo…

My MY definitely builds up ice in the wheel wells a lot worse than any other car I've had in snow climates (VW R32, F150, 4Runner, Subarau Crosstrek). If we don't remember to clear…

For most urban areas where this contamination is prevalent (old dry cleaner & brake cleaner spills), there are a limited number of well heads that pull from the polluted aquifers t…

Capital gains is wage theft. If you have money, you are taxed at a lower rate than people who have to earn it. Carried interest is just a follow-through of this principle that is a…

Yes, capitalism has infested every corner of our existence. Universities and conferences are massive distributors of marketing materials. They are both capitalistic enterprises. It…

All of the examples in the article (zeitgeist-style newsletters) fall very clearly under a marketing umbrella by my judgement. They're the TV Guides of cryptocurrency. Maybe they d…

This is an extremely poorly written article. I'm glad most of the comments seem to be ignoring the actual text in it. What collateral damage is being done? It seems to me the oppos…

Where do I put a bid for a short on the ability for the earth to support human life comfortably?

I … oof. I'm sure this stuff does look good from the outside. From experience, it is not anything close to that. Most stock options have short expirations (10 year is still very un…

Yes, there are several strategies. Each of them impacts significant discount on sale price, requirements to make a sale, or significant risk to option holder. Kind of like saying "…

Yes. This is SOP for law firms authoring stock option agreements after Facebook IPO'd. OP is extraordinarily lucky that his company allowed a stock transfer, with extraordinary bei…

In the context of this article (Coinbase going after Wall Street, looking to join Big Finance), I would guess that $1MM/day isn't significant enough revenue to count. Especially if…

The most powerful man on earth, Pope Paul V demanded Galileo silence his thoughts on heliocentrism. He was then submitted to the Roman Inquisition, found guilty, and imprisoned for…

This was literally from the article. > “You create new hives by breaking up your stronger hives, which just makes them weaker,” said Tim May, a beekeeper in Harvard, Illinois and t…

> "…the overall increase is largely the result of constant replenishment of losses, the study showed." Very misleading headline. The bees are not bouncing back, humans are splittin…

Thanks for removing that! I'd be lying if your explanation didn't sound a little… Well hey, HN is always good for laughs.
