I have the same question, but change “coffee shop” to tiny apartment (with only one desk and 2 people with remote jobs). Taking this with me for work-cations seems like it could be fun but it would have to support cross-platform (osx) and there would have to be strong signals that it’s not a pair of “pervert glasses” if I’m to use them in a public setting.

Would be cool to have an embedded typeform-type widget that compliments disqus that takes the following flow: - are you interested in meeting offline? - which country? - which city? - enter your email to get updates (or check back here)

Then when there’s enough demand, you’re shown meeting spots and times to vote with RSVPs.

The key is the widget has to be embeddable and agnostic of the content so it can manage itself based on sensible rules (only show possible events when there’s enough demand, but make the demand really easy to measure).

You're confusing a breathalyzer with a field sobriety test, the latter of which no one should agree to. It's the sort of test that asks you to walk straight, hop on one leg, allow an officer to use a flashlight on your eyes, or recite the alphabet backwards. They're designed to allow the officer to use their discretion to determine if you've failed rather than use an objective reading (like a breathalyzer).

Ask yourself why an officer would want to use a set of tests that require being subjective instead of deferring to a breathalyzer.

I’m not speaking from the startup world, but the sheer amount of small businesses that don’t do any level of revenue forecasting, financial modeling, or even formal budgeting and still make a comfortable sum (~$10m assets over the course of 10 years) based on instinct is pretty staggering. Personally it seems more stressful but that’s the leeway experience gets you.

I had to stop playing for a while because the music really got stuck in my head. What a fantastic game though, it really is so fun. The "Woooow" at some upgrades always make me chuckle. I'll definitely come back to it soon.

I think there’s a bunch of these in Miami which is fun to see because they have chimneys that will never get used

One thing the Apple Watch is missing is being able to call a Lyft or Uber. Not something I do super often but it really would let me leave the phone at home more often.

Also would have liked to see a little hole in the corner to thread a loop to.

For someone who lives in a very small apartment, my WFH setup takes an annoyingly large part of my living space. If I can build a comfortable work environment in VR/AR, I can get rid of my work desk entirely and keep a strong separation between work and my personal life (take headset off and put it + keyboard + mouse away in the closet => done with work). I get to even take it with me so I could work at any desk (in a hotel room, at my parents', etc.)

Even now, I'd love a solution to easily put up and teardown a monitor on my dinner table so I can get rid of my desk.

This would be perfect, but in English, the description on the left refers to graph points in Meters while the visuals' data points are in feet.

Heads up, the greenhouse api is returning 0 jobs so none are listed

What’s something you’d recommend to a friend as a beach read?

I read this article and a week later came across one of his works (with the signature lemon peel!) at the Met. Would not have been able to recognize him without it. I love how the NYT experiments with different mediums, like their weekly friday news quiz, their stellar cooking app, the crosswords, and now these little art explorations

Why not move hobby projects and droplets to the $4 tier when it launches? It’s cheaper and likely enough to do what you want

Why wouldn’t you? As a person with a job, are you ashamed of how much you make (either too much or too little)? Or is it a violation of your privacy? If you were a person looking for a new job, you want to know how much people are making in that company (or others in the same market) so you aren’t being undercut for the same job.

No reason why my coworkers should make more or less than me if we have the same title. Making salary information public either through averages per title or ranges (upper and lower) should naturally even out the salaries per title. As things stand, some people are privileged in all sorts of ways when it comes to a company’s undisclosed salary ranges. For example, in my last role I had a friend in the company who could confirm two separate salaries for the role I was applying and I was offered 10% lower than those two salaries. I can ask for a 15% increase in my counteroffer and be confident this is a valid number. If I didn’t have friends who were in the industry that weren’t comfortable sharing salary ranges, I’d have to stick to the Levels FYI site, but my last company wasn’t on there.

When I left, I learned new hires, who were new to tech, earned less than I did when I was at their title. It may be awkward socially to have people know how much I make (or even within a range) but it’s better than the economic disadvantages that unconnected applicants face in today’s job markets. Hope that offers some insight.

It’s hard to make people care with “bad/user hostile/privacy invading” because those terms have saturated descriptions of behavior that users are okay with. Example: tons of articles mention FB as a privacy invading or user hostile service but it continues to be used by people who don’t really care. Using the same terminology for something that is arguably worse with much higher stakes (algorithmic proctoring that “reinforces white supremacy, sexism, ableism, and transphobia”) is appropriate because it gets the reader to care by illustrating exactly what is possible with algo proctoring.

I sense you’re tired of discussions that mention the “cards in the deck”, likely because you aren’t affected by them and therefore care little for them. That’s honestly fair, but there’s value in writing that way to channel outrage into action.
