As a remote manager of remote teams, here are some things that worked for me (short thread). Your Slack/IRC/etc channel is where you bond as a group. Say "good morning" when you get online. Say goodbye when you leave. Talk about how your weekend was or the crazy thing that your kids just did at home. Be present.

Thread: 8 years ago, I had just left Twitter and was considering my next gig. I knew I wasn't staying in SF forever, and I knew I didn't want to work in ads. I made a list of possible employers I thought might work: Uber, Shopify, GitHub, Stripe, and the Mozilla Foundation. Uber was at the top of my list. This was early 2012 and they were tiny, but Tweeps were early adopters and I had a hunch. I passed the interview but failed the negotiation, which is to say that Travis ghosted me. (It's ok; I doubt I would have lasted long there anyway).

My son was asking about the definition of "1 cup" in a recipe and good grief it's bonkers.

So: in the US, volume measures are based on the gallon, which is the volume of a cylinder 6 inches high and 7 inches in diameter, rounded to the nearest cubic inch. Then you get nice even divisions like a quart is exactly 1/4 gallon, a cup is exactly 1/4 quart, and a tablespoon is exactly 1/16 cup. Fine.

If you do all the conversions this works out to a tablespoon being roughly 14.8ml.
