It does matter as guns are obviously far more deadly than the others

I've been on El Cap for 4 days. You get used to the exposure and you're usually too tired to do anything but sleep when you aren't climbing.

The safety issues of this seem far too high to ignore.

What happens the first time something catches on fire? Will they fill up inside of a parking garage? What about a home garage?

How do leaks get handled, small and large?

I absolutely hate the dark pattern of fully controlling your subscription online, including changing it to a different service, but canceling requires a phone call during very specific business hours where you are very likely to forget.

It's disgusting and way too many companies are utilizing these tactics rather than building a solid business model.

More companies that are doing this should be called out. Ive seen naturebox, justfab and others just to name a few.

The plastic bag ban was one of a handful of regulations that made a HUGE difference to the health of the bay's ecosystem. Paper will at least disintegrate over time in the bay's water. Plastic does not.

You should really look at the effect and reasoning of some of these regulations rather than handwaving them away as 'bad government regulation'

A 13,000 pound rated rope for a world record where some subset of 2300 people were pulling on it means there was only enough room for each person to generate between 5 and 25 (500 people) pounds each before the rope would snap. I would expect a heavy weight construction company to be able to handle basic math.

Finally a reasonable response.

This reads like the exact sort of mission statement that is passed from HR and is defined as the company 'culture.'

Culture is something built from the top down and must be prevalent as an absolute deal breaker in each and every hiring decision.

What I mean by this is if you aren't asking the question 'Is this someone I want to work/have lunch with?' during the interview process then you are going to bring people in who won't be a proper fit. As a byproduct of this, there needs to be a decent amount of time just getting to know the person before hiring them where no interview questions are asked.

It's 80% pre inch reduction (N Seats) and 80% post inch reduction (N + 6 Seats) which would average to an extra 4.8 seats per flight.

A designer would probably be a bit more consistent with the vertical grid. For instance, the margins are inconsistent with the line height etc.

For those of us bootstrapping while holding jobs, is it ok to not be full time for this as long as we are shipping?

I'm pretty sure I was the guinea pig for this system and I have to say, it was one of the more enjoyable interview tasks I have had to perform.

There is just something extremely satisfying about watching your little robot run across a field collecting little fruit.

This is useless when every cab driver that picks you up will just claim the machine is broken. This is not even just me complaining. I believe the market is going to be difficult to break due to cabbie habits.
