It was incredibly odd. They paid a good about for our company, then just scuttled it. Didn’t use the source code, sold the hardware, neglected the remaining employees until we left one by one.

They absorbed a few employees who are still there and are just as confused as none of the tech they spent so much money on ever got used.

Maybe it was somehow a giant tax write off, or just buying out the competition?

I’m trying to wrap my head around this. While shielding the focus from receiving any thermal radiation via surrounding objects ( ground, etc) you also provide a 360 degree thermal radiation heat sink, making it as easy as possible for whatever is at the focus to shed heat?

Perhaps this correlates with the shift to getting married later in life as well?

This reminds me of this good article as well. Confusing kindness with being polite/nice.

> Defenestration

The act of throwing out of a window. Early 17th century from modern Latin defenestratio(n-), from de- ‘down from’ + Latin fenestra ‘window’.

I love the car analogy. Once something becomes your lifeblood, tinkering is much less fun.

I think the risk of failure being lower for firearms is exactly the draw. But failure is still a possibility.

I had a friend who unsuccessfully attempted suicide by a pistol in the mouth. He ended up with a hole in his nose. Having only brought one bullet with him, was in enough pain to get treatment. He still wears a small bandaid on the side of his nose, but he’s in a stable place now.

Maybe the actual final act is impulsive, but given personal experience, someone plans for a long time before they have that final impulsive moment. Lots of time to overcome blocks.

We used to win nuke the computer labs in high school after playing the first 15 seconds of blur song2. It got to the point where just playing the song would cause Ethernet dongles across the room to get ripped right out of laptops. Ahh the old days.

I set this up 4 or 5 years ago, has it gotten easier since then? Specifically TOTP was rough.

I might be dreaming but I would love for people to be more concerned about what’s right, not who’s right.

Is there a state in the US that is more diverse (geography, economy, etc)? I wonder how much that complicates things.

You can drive north for nearly 8 hours from San Diego and still be in the state. You’ll go from inner city to cow pastures and onion fields and back again.

Rats. I got excited for a second.

I feel nearly the same about the English language. It's my first language, and after learning French and Spanish, it's so clear that there's a better way.

Non instant email. Very interesting.

While I agree wholeheartedly, I have found it’s not enough to have a great product, especially when you’re new and small.

I loathe marketing, but I have no clue how to get around it.

It’s beautiful.

Ketamine HCl can and is dispensed off label, both for in office IM/IV treatment and at home nasal spray, or sublingual troche.

Imagine balancing a checkbook with 10,000 transactions where if you’re off by a penny the account shuts down and becomes inaccessible.

> At the first company, the authors found that face-to-face interactions were more than three times higher in the old, cubicle-based office than in an open-plan space where employees have clear lines of sight to each other. In contrast, the number of e-mails people sent to each other increased by 56% when they switched to open-plan. In the second company, face-to-face interactions decreased by two-thirds after the switch to open-plan, whereas e-mail traffic increased by between 22% and 50%.

This has also been my experience.

Using it too frequently can cause you to rely on it, but other than that, it’s about the safest sleep aid around.

Depends on the chromatic differential it’s using, along with its error correction.

Anecdotally, ketamine has changed my life. I found a low cost clinic run by psychiatrists and get injections once a month. I don’t even care if it’s placebo effect, I’m better than I’ve been in 8 years of pharmacy-psycho therapy.

I'd stay with namecheap over the rest of these, personally. Having done business with many.

I’m instantly reminded of Kingdom of Kroz

Since the cable slipped past her husband on the platform, I'm guessing the anchor failed.

Zip lines _can_ have a ton of tension on them, that's terrifically scary.

But does Webamp “Really whip the llama’s ass”?

I too am discovering the strange world of sightlessness. Charles Bonnet Syndrome was a huge revelation that I wasn’t going crazy.

Articles like this tempt me into running my own email server again; if for no other reason than being able to have 1:1 email addresses to services _easily_ at my disposal. (me+tag@gmail.com isn't enough.)
