If you pay attention to the WARN layoffs notices you'd also see they fired at a much higher rate in Seattle compared to Bellevue.

So faster hiring east side. Faster firing west side.

It's a soft relocation

If you're big in the google ecosystem it makes sense:

- gemini-cli can have remote a2a agents connected to it. (See https://github.com/tanaikech/gemini-cli-gas-a2a-subagents and the medium article linked in that repo description.) Haven't tried it but I tried the local use case below.

- can expose a custom Google ADK "agent" via one-liner as a2a, which you can connect to the gemini-cli the same way.

Seems like the Instagram handle will be the Threads handle. IG, like Twitter rely on the handle concept, whereas Facebook never really did in the same manner.

Not quite sure there's a golf course there. Here's an overview of the same jail a "real housewives of salt lake city" is in.

"It’s unclear why Shah asked to serve at that specific prison but People says other notable inmates who have been sent to the Bryan camp have included Hidalgo County, Texas, Commissioner Sylvia Handy; Jenna Ryan, who participated in the January 6 Capitol attack; and Lea Fastow, a former assistant treasurer at Enron."

I wonder if the buildings have A/C. Summer in Texas can be pretty hot

This gist is notable as it's:

- not in pdf format

- complete (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29597454 is just an excerpt)

- not a 404 dead link like many of the previous post.

Avoiding SSO to keep access even if you loose access to bigCo email has been working well, but unfortunately more & more websites are moving away from password to instead verification code in the email.

Sure there are advantages to it, but if the email is bigCo, it effectively has the same drawbacks as SSO from same bigCo (i.e unfair account suspension, you're screwed)

With email+password, even if you lost access to let's say your Gmail, you can still login with that Gmail address and your password and go change the email in your account profile.

Per https://spaceexplored.com/2021/05/06/can-you-make-it-as-a-bl...:

> When it comes to the G-Forces being pushed on you, many roller coasters have peak G’s at or above these limits. Most people are probably familiar with the different rides at Walt Disney World so let’s use those for examples. At EPCOT, Mission Space is a centrifuge-based ride where you go through a simulated launch and landing on Mars. The sustained G’s on that ride is 2.5 G’s, close to how many G’s New Shepard will experience during launch.

> For the descent, Blue Origin says you must be able to withstand 5.5 G’s, if you ever rode Rock ‘n Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you would have experienced up to 5 G’s during the initial launch of the ride.

Epcot Mission Space (the "Orange" version) is pretty intense as it's really sustained G-forces, but manageable. During the ride, you have to reach in front of you to press some buttons, and that's when you feel the G-forces most. But for SpaceX/BlueOrigin, passengers do nothing.

Rock n Roller Coaster itself for the peak G is done by kids, not a big deal.

I don't see the FBI director mention that Sars-Cov2 was engineered anywhere. He said "probably the result of a laboratory leak".

If someone runs a lab, and they have Ebola or other virus in their fridges, and it leaks due to poor handling practice, that doesn't mean Ebola was engineered...

So it's possible to agree with both the opinions of the virologists-podcasters AND of the director of the FBI, isn't it?
