It might work at distances longer than 300m, but "they ran out of space on the dock." That seems like such a silly limitation to bring up twice in the writeup.

Weight of a vehicle is one of the main risk factors for people in another vehicle in an accident. When you hit a pedestrian their weight is negligible, so it doesn't matter as much, but when another vehicle is involved, it makes a significant difference because you are largely doing a conservation of momentum problem.

I love the idea of cars vs trucks, and tried to spend my money accordingly recently. My newest vehicle is a Hyundai IONIQ 6 which is a 4 door sedan, and is certainly better in a vehicle-pedestrian or vehicle-bike accident than most other vehicles on the road. The problem is that, as a nice electric car, it is heavy. At 4500 lbs it is probably within a few pounds of our Honda Ridgeline (pickup truck). I could not figure out how to get around the weight problem and still get an AWD vehicle.

Storage costs can also be significant. I have a friend who pays $200/month for his storage unit to keep all of the extra seasonal junk and decorations, and then must swap it out twice per year. Many people pay a less transparent version of the same fee by getting a larger house or apartment for the same reason.

Probably not while laying down, but a wide mouth bottle, such as a dedicated Nalgene bottle, can work.

The article repeats over and over that 89% of workers want more flexibility than a normal job offers, but my view is that the pandemic started a trend of more flexibility for existing jobs. My coworkers are mostly on west coast time, but I am on the early end of Eastern Time and our company has no problem with that.

I work when I can, get my kid off the bus, and don't have a problem taking a day off here and there with our unlimited PTO policy. A few years ago I felt tied to an 8:30-5 schedule, but I think child care challenges during the pandemic have made a lot of employers more flexible.

The Hilux works if your goal is to compare a random compact car to an average midsize truck, but if your goal is to look at how a Ford Ranger compares to a Toyota Tacoma then you are out of luck.

I am currently shopping for a new vehicle, and this comparison could be very useful if it had the models I am considering.

You know what they say: "The best way to deal with sexist bullies at work is to knit them a hat"

Princeton does the same thing. Ivy League schools are cheeper than state schools for some students.

I think this is the correct route. I don't see anything wrong with wealthy families paying a high sticker price as long as admissions is mostly need-blind, and students with less resources get a break.

Bokeh and long range. My favorite lens was a 24-105 F/4 for a very long time, but that has been replaced with my phone. Now my 150-600mm lens (for wildlife) is the only thing that is ever mounted.

Who has time to move all of the way over to the arrow keys, tap a few times and then find the little tab on the J again?

I have arrows behind a second layer on my keyboard with vim mapping, and I don't think I could give that up. If you spend all day in front of a keyboard you might as well learn to be efficient with it.

C-a, C-k are probably my most used shortcuts on the mac

The issue isn't the bank angle exactly, it is the acceleration of the roll. Pilots will need to be careful not to throw people or drinks around, but I think it would be doable.

When people talk about EU salaries do they typically mean pre-tax or post-tax.

What is the right way to discuss that at an interview? Discussing the applicant's family is typically off limits, but if the goal is to work and be a parent then you must have that conversation early.

I get migraines from chocolate, but the rest of my household loves it. I welcome more chocolate substitutes!

If there is a chance you will want to move in the next 10 years, then the numbers are even worse! Not only are you paying more every month with higher rates, but the amortization schedule is not in your favor. For your hypothetical $1M house and a 6->7% rate change you build about 20% less equity each year also.

I get it. People love LaTeX, but how about getting rid of some white space and changing that front

No update in the mini phone form factor either. Even as a 6' tall dude, I would appreciate more emphasis on the smaller devices.

As a casual runner that does some track workouts, the extra button is my favorite feature of this new watch. The built in stopwatch app with screen buttons is miserable for timing workouts.

Now I just need to wait a few years for the extra button to trickle down to something that my family agrees is in budget.

It is interesting that you think arrow keys are a likely blocker. I have a Kinesis Freestyle Pro and my favorite feature is having the arrow keys on the second layer as vim style HJKL. I also have backspace, esc and del on the second layer with the right half of the space bar as the layer shift key. Moving these common keys made a huge difference to me, and was an easy transition since I exercise them so much.

The reason I couldn't move to a much smaller keyboard is that the less common keys that I use a few times a day like `{}\<>? feel like they would be so much harder to retrain. Similarly I am only passable at touch typing my number row, and I don't think I could survive without the labels for the symbols that are usually over the numbers.

I see that the rising rates is part of the cause. Why were rates so low? My mortgage is financed at 2.25%, but it seems obvious that the Federal Discount Rate rate would rise over the 30 years of the mortgage. Why do 30 year mortgage rates follow the Fed rate so closely in the first place?

I think you can set up a video camera pretty much anywhere you want, but there are a lot of laws about audio recording. I would check on your state's laws. I don't even think this would be covered by 1-party consent.

Smartsheet | iOS / Android Engineer | Full-Time | Fully Remote | US

I joined about 9 months ago as an SE II - iOS, and our team is continuing to grow. We are currently hiring for both platforms at either the Software Engineer II or Senior level. We will consider people who are changing directions and may not have professional mobile dev experience.

The benefits at Smartsheet are good and salaries listed on Levels.fyi are accurate in my experience (SE2 around 200k, Senior around $250k). We also introduced unlimited leave this year, and the program is working well and creating a good work life balance. The culture of the mobile group has been great. Please come join me!

My email address is in my profile if you would like to discuss my experience at Smartsheet, and a possible Referral/Lead.

In fact you SHOULD have a layer of clay between the surface and the ground water you are drinking. You don't want a fast path between surface contamination and your well water.

My local library has them available to check out for free! The payback period for buying a Flir camera to do your own energy audit is likely long, but checking one out is pretty reasonable.

8-10 YOE and new offers only means he was right around a cool $1M/yr

If they are calculating the price in JS then maybe it is worth me spending a few minutes with the console open on their website to try and bring down my monthly bill. Yes, I would like to switch to the new $10 plan!

As an Army officer, I didn't say `sir yes sir` very much, because most people don't like a sir sandwich. I did say "Hoorah" (Who-Ra) a lot.

It is common for the university to pay a partial salary (9-months) and then the faculty can pay themselves another 3 months from grants if they have the funding. At University of Michigan the 9-month salary is spread out over 12 months, but you get a nice summer bonus if you have grant money.

The publicly listed listed salaries are the 9-month salaries, so faculty pay isn't quite as bad as it looks at first glance. If you have funding, most grants also REQUIRE the professor to take salary money from it, otherwise they assume you aren't actually putting in any effort on that funded project.
