Black-Plaid

I did exactly this, was CTO at a startup, it failed, went back to being IC at a large company, then went into management again and realized I am just not happy in that role.

Went back to IC roles, no regrets, much happier with what I am doing. Money isn't everything, as long as you have enough to live well, you don't need to make 7 figures, just make sure you are working toward a couple million in investments for retirement if you are in the US.

Available seems like a stretch, you can order one, but you sure as hell can't get one any time soon.

Agreed, at the last 5 software companies I've worked at, the only people without Macs were the sales people.

> Up and quitting (hopefully with notice)

Why is it considered bad form to quit without notice, but if a company lets you go without notice, it's "just business"?

That was the article about the Switch bulbs if I remember correctly. I think the company went out of business. I have a couple of them and they work and look good, but are really heavy and I can't use them in certain applications that were only ever meant to hold up really light incandescents.

Interestingly, in Swift, you Cannot compare `a == b` as the compiler tells you the two types are incompatible.

you have to be kidding me...

The article also talks about a black hole accreting at a rate of 1% every million years that is 'currently' 20 billion solar masses.

It is 12 billion ly away, which means, if it really does continue getting 1% larger every million years it's actually ... 143,719,397,330,047,128,616,744,826,647,657,321,145,325,176,127,225,856 billion solar masses at this moment. (if the compound interest calculator is to be believed)

I really hope that's not true.

There are also no credible studies showing that chlorine gas is carcinogenic, so it must be safe!

There's an example in Dan Ariely's book Predictably Irrational that showed this exact phenomenon.

25 * 8 = 200, where does the 1000 come from?

Check out Edumund's Scientific, they have them for $5 (+7$ s/h)

Possibly "Bjarney"

> Artenstein has later confirmed on Twitter that connecting to a malicious network is not necessary.

> Users that didn't receive this month's Android security patch should only connect to trusted Wi-Fi networks and disable any "Wi-Fi auto-connect" feature, if using one.

What is the point of the second statement?
