teej··on MoviePass Worked Out Great
I feel infuriated by this statement. Did he just not care? The company was burning around him, turning it around should have been his number 1 priority.
teej··on Launch HN: Gold Fig (YC S19) – Version Control for Settings Pages
Love the idea! It always made me nervous when I was given access to other teams tools with the ability to inadvertently break them.

It sounds like for now you could still end up with out-of-band changes because you can’t force folks to use a browser extension before twiddling switches on a confit page. What’s your long term vision for tackling that aspect of the problem?

teej··on Glymphatic system clears toxins in the brain during sleep (2013)
If I sleep anywhere but my side, my throat tries it’s darndest to choke me to death, on behalf of the sleep apnea. So it works great for me!
teej··on Death Note: L, Anonymity and Eluding Entropy (2017)
One thing the author seemingly didn't address - the overlap in entropy between the different mistakes. For example, Mistake 2 in timing leaked 6 bits, but those same 6 bits got leaked as a part of Mistake 4 in using confidential police information. Mistake 4 on its own is possibly the worst, but if you consider what L already knows, it's only 5 incremental bits lost.

Despite that, loved the article.

teej··on Insured price $2,758, cash price $521
> The doctor put an ear thermometer to him and told me to give him some childrens ibuprofen.

To be fair, the doctor also cleared your child of having a life threatening emergency. That is one of the critical jobs of an emergency medicine physician and it’s part of what you pay for.

teej··on A Look at Overnight Stays at US National Parks
Exactly this. To go back country camping in Denali means jumping on a bus that drives the length of the park and telling it to stop wherever you want to begin your adventure. Tent camping is a traditional campground.
teej··on Capital One Says Breach Hit 100M Individuals in U.S
They are legally obligated, especially in California, to disclose part or all of this breach to customers. But that obligation is not immediate. Give it some time.
teej··on IRS sends warning letters to more than 10k cryptocurrency holders
I believe this is where a lot of the confusion comes from. If you use Coinbase to directly trade crypto (e.g. BTC for ETH) this is a taxable event on your BTC even though you never touch fiat in the process.
teej··on 'It's a crisis': Facebook kitchen staff work multiple jobs to get by
They are. Both Google and Facebook are actively working on housing developments in the area.

teej··on Amazon Accidentally Sold $13k Camera Gear for $100 on Prime Day
There were stories of other mispriced deals that folks got where the order was cancelled. So I imagine it’s simply a matter of what Amazon caught in time vs not.
teej··on Instagram influencer engagement hovers near all-time lows
I actually don’t think it’s clear at all that IG influencers make money at all. I imagine that it’s similar to Twitch or Youtube - you have a very small 0.1% minority at the top making most of the income and everyone else scrapes by.
teej··on AWS Glue/Athena/Redshift outage
Redshift changes roll out in us-east-1 after other regions though, so I imagine the root cause is something else.
teej··on How Discount Brokerages Make Money
TFA says a gain of 7bp. I wouldn’t call that “substantial” in any sense of the word.
teej··on Service Quotas: View and manage your quotas for AWS services from one location
It’s on a per-account basis because Amazon is leaning heavily into multi-account setups for organizations. The release of AWS Control Tower strongly indicates that multi account is the future of AWS. Service Quotas is simply another end toward that goal.
teej··on Get an Acme Klein Bottle
I want to show a bit of appreciation for a website that loads in 50ms. Thanks for keeping it simple, Cliff.
teej··on L.A. council members propose taxing landlords who leave homes vacant
I thought Toronto passed this years ago and proved that it makes effectively no difference?
teej··on Developers don’t want to show gameplay at E3 anymore
Call of Duty is like Coca Cola or McDonald’s. When you buy it you know exactly what you’re gonna get. It’s the shooter version of a FIFA game. EA isn’t promising a drastically new game every time.
teej··on Minnesota court decision means doctors can be sued by patients they don't treat
The judgement specifically states that this is more than a curbside consult.
teej··on Minnesota court decision means doctors can be sued by patients they don't treat
The hospitalist is acting as the “gatekeeper” to admission here, so they decide if the hospital will take the patient or not. That doesn’t stop the NP from shipping the patient straight to the hospital’s ER. By federal law, emergency rooms must see every patient who comes in their doors.
teej··on Minnesota court decision means doctors can be sued by patients they don't treat
Direct admits are falling out of favor, this case is likely to propagate that trend. The NP absolutely should have sent the patient to the ER. That fact doesn’t absolve the hospitalist but it’s worth noting.
teej··on Lyrics Site Genius.com Accuses Google of Lifting Its Content
They’re also notorious for shady SEO practices that got them effectively de-listed a few years back too. The Genius/Google relationship has been rocky, to put it lightly.
teej··on Shazam-like technology used to identify bars illegally streaming soccer games
I know pay-per-view typically works that way. I remember seeing the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight costed bars something like $30 x bar capacity to air.
teej··on Maintainable ETL Practices at Stitchfix
DBT is fantastic, I very strongly recommend it.
teej··on Former reporter creates ‘Rate my Professor’ for newsrooms
Rate my professor isn’t for people “in the field” though? The primary audience is students, not other teachers. That’s kinda like saying folks in the movie industry think Rotten Tomatoes is garbage. Who cares what they think?
teej··on 5M Bid request/s, 2ms max response time – The Road to Damascus
Ads aren’t crime and ads aren’t universally net negative.
teej··on Robinhood Is Set to Raise at Least $200 Million in New Funding
No, I wouldn’t. Because I’d guess that etrade’s average account size is likely 25-50x that of Robinhood. I don’t think encouraging young adults to gamble beer money on the stock market is a long term viable business model.
teej··on “Once-in-a-Hundred Year” Sightings of Bamboo Blossoms Reported in Japan
Life was loud and very buggy in 2004 when Brood X emerged on the east coast US.
teej··on Can we all stop using Medium now?
The author has complete control over it.
teej··on Uber Drivers Are Contractors, Not Employees, Labor Board Says
> They offered a rate

Uber offered a rate that was subsidized by investors. That is not true supply and demand.

teej··on The humble receipt gets a redesign
It takes 3 seconds to print because it doesn’t include any complex rendering (like a dynamic bubble chart) or need full state to determine how to print it. This design challenges a lot of assumptions that the current generation of receipt printers use.
