This guy ties grill height directly to fatalities. They really are a menace, but it's by design. Quoth one designer, "I want it to look like a fist coming through the air."
I haul a lot of dirt, hay, etc for gardening and drive a 1993 Ford Ranger. Even the new Rangers are twice as large (sits higher, taller, and wider) and the bed is 1-2 feet smaller. I just really don't understand the appeal from a usefulness perspective.
I live about a half mile from my kid's school and we walk most days, or I bike.
However, it has been... eye opening. We live in a fairly urban area of Nashville, but my street doesn't have sidewalks. We've been yelled at multiple times (me, my wife, and our kindergartner) by drivers to "Get out of the road!" (This is on a 25 mph street.) There are ditches and uneven ground on both sides of the road.
Even the sidewalks we _do_ have on our route are paltry... about 3 feet wide and immediately adjacent to a busy 30 mph road. We sometimes walk in the grass next to the sidewalk, and I actually had one neighbor yell at us to "Get out of the yard, get on the sidewalk." That one took the cake for me.
So, yeah. There's a lot of reasons people don't walk to work, but one of them might be that everyone and everything assumes you're supposed to drive in a car and idle in the parking lot for 20 minutes rather than walking. Walking can be _stressful_, especially if you're doing it with multiple kids (which I often do).
The Ops Engineer role at Stratasan has three primary functions: (1) Ensure the security and stability of the Stratasan application (2) Monitoring and metrics (3) Aiding the dev team with automated tests and continuous integration.
We’re always looking for ways to improve our stack, but we do already have a fairly sophisticated operations stack that uses Python 3, Docker, AWS, Terraform, ChatOps (via Slack), and Jenkins.

Clarification: I'm not saying that no 30 year old can offer sage advice. I don't think Altman is on the same level as Kirkegaard here. As others have pointed out, the list is not terribly revolutionary.
It simply struck me as odd that this (not particularly revelatory list) could be passed off as worthy of note. What, other than his work with YC, makes Sam's musings worthy of our time?
Are we really at the point where a 30 year old can offer sage advice on living life? Wow.

Purchasable movies have started showing up in search results lately (ex: search for 'shaun the sheep' or 'earnest and celeste'). That's fine, but it's rather disappointing (inconvenient?) that there doesn't appear to be a filter that limits the search to "free" content.
If you find this interesting, I highly recommend the book "Last Call: Rise and Fall of the Prohibition" by Daniel Okrent. There is a PBS documentary as well, but I found it difficult to watch (narration with lots of panning over still photos).
The prohibition is a really great example of the unintended consequences of (mostly well-intentioned) morality-by-legislation.
