Thanks for the catch! Should embed a version a REPL that we're not still working on.

this was really good! I'm not even into paintings. Bravo to nyt for how they continue to innovate on using this format.

Some high stakes pro I can't remember: "Yes, I have a gambling addiction. Fortunately, I'm good at it."

i think we all want to know what software you're using. Pokerrrrrrrrrrrrr 2 seems to be the default, and it's fine, but there has to be something better.

props for exposure -- the platform this was published on. this was a beautifully presented story.

Would love to hear your plan of study to progress that far.

Agreed that air travel would seem to be high-risk given airborn transmission.... but why aren't we seeing it? Seems like the easiest transmission to trace -- someone takes a plane, tests positive, contact everyone who was on the same plane. But I haven't seen a documented case over the last five months of "one person a plane infects 20 others..."

It confounds my mental model of how this virus is spread. Any idea what's going on there?

I'm so sorry. That must be incredibly discouraging and scary. How do you think you caught it?

It seems like you've been doing this long enough that you've lost empathy for folks who are getting started. Pretty common for technical folks. OBS is not the most intuitive piece of software. For instance, "Scenes" will be new concept for folks. This was a great guide. Thanks OP for writing it.

Agreed. But, I'd give 10:1 that he's using an iPad Pro + Pencil. Got one a few months ago, have never drawn anything meaningful in my life, but the tools are so good that I wanted to start.

What happened to "Peak Oil"? Was there some assumption in those projections that proved to be wrong?

Site looks great. Nice design.

Hey Noah! This is pretty sweet. Would love to send you a t-shirt. Care to drop me an email at gb@twilio.com?

I think of the out-of-shape guy in the recliner watching Monday Night Football, beer in one hand, loudly proclaiming what play the "idiot coach" should have run, or which receiver the quarterback should have thrown it to. That spectator is an "idea guy." Doesn't mean he should be on the field.

Wow. This mans brain operates differently than mine (in a wonderful sense).

As it says on the wall at Jimmy Johns, "The gap between 'more' and 'enough' never closes."

Anyone remember peak oil? What happened?

If this is true, my DNA is so healthy.

They don't stand around outside. You can see the ETA boarding before swiping, and again on the platform.

I live off the Carroll stop talked about in this 2015 article. We got countdown clocks last year.

Choice quote from the NYT interview with Strand's owner: "The richest man in America, who’s a direct competitor, has just been handed $3 billion in subsidies. I’m not asking for money or a tax rebate. Just leave me alone."

Affirmative. An example: our office is in a landmark building a few blocks from Strand. Couple years ago there was a leak on the roof. While fixing, they found absestos, which they we're required to remove. But, because we are a landmark building, the facade had to be put back exactly as it appeared before the work. The construction took a year longer and was significantly more expensive than would have been without landmark status.

A bit click-baity, but the warning here from the father-of-index-funds is not that they've become a bad investment, but that their popularity is leading toward a handful of financial institutions holding controlling interests in most of the largest companies. Pretty interesting unitended consequence.

She can write well though.

I don't understand either. But Carlsen was in the seat for all 12 games, and he knows what was going on in his own head. Maybe he was simply exhausted and didn't trust his decision. Maybe that particular position gave him difficulty in a match four years ago. For whatever reason, the best chess player in the world decided that offering the draw was his best move in that moment.

tl;dr after 11 draws, Carlsen offered a draw from a superior position in the final game to head into the short-format tiebreaks, where:

> he is ranked No. 1 in all three formats (classical, rapid, and blitz). Caruana is ranked 10th and 18th in rapid and blitz respectively.

Critics are appalled that he didn't fight for the win out of sense of honor. I don't see how this is different than, for instance, fouling at the end of a basketball game. Hard to blame a player for working within the rules to put himself into a position where he feels he has a greater chance of keeping the title.

"It's not the critic who counts...."

That doesn't sound like a good system.

Good point. For instance, the Googler in question probably doesn't own a car.

A risk calculation that's easier for us, seeing the aftermath, and having nothing at risk.

Tactically: public speaking. Strategically: forget about titles and career path and comp and just figure out how to provide value to the people around you. The other stuff takes care of itself.
