Median any position is probably not terribly great at it. Agnostic of engineering imo. I do think you need structured practice to get good at anything but I don't necessarily believe that needs to come from a mandated class, i.e. struc

Different that it is a private person suing you vs the state throwing you in jail imo. Also having a family member who's been on the side of one of those sites where people can post anonymous reviews (BadBizReport I think) they are usu

I'd say the anti-intellectual authoritarianism has emanated from campuses. That being said when I first went to college I also held the view that mandating some level of humanities was important to be "well-rounded", and on s

They get deprecation like everyone else which helps subsidize the building of facilities as well as certain on going capital expenditures. Why do they need a production tax credit also (industry specific)? Talking simply renewables so coal

Read "PayPal Wars" loved it. Can't wait to read the 3-4+ books to come out from SpaceX & Tesla as time passes.

If they are expecting to lower energy costs then why do they want more subsidies? Or on the other end a carbon tax to penalize competitors? I'm sure there are policy prescriptions other than subsidies that can be beneficial to the indu

Are the utilities giving you access to their db? How are you translating API requests over to the utility if they don't already have an API? Don't take my questions as criticisms as I think it's interesting.

Legislators not understanding tech and doing the same thing they seek to control...par for the course.

I also have an issue with our military spending but this post is in the context of SS so that is what I was discussing. Unreasonable expectation to have to list all the different issues with the govs spending. At some point the gov needs to

The only reason this is an issue is because of how governments setup the social security system. Each generation should have to pay for their own retirement not the next. Manufactured issue imo.

Did they actually get that much? I can understand now why you said that given that amount of money. Although really even $1 could make someone question it's use.

Having worked as a SFE while going to school I can say there are times where I had wished I didn't have this mentality. Don't know how many times I thought "I'll never use this" and blew it off only to a couple mont

From KC. The indictment [1][2] is pretty bad. There were multiple reported injuries that were decently severe leading up to the final incident. One of the guys full blown destroyed reports. Which led some 17 yo kid to become a whistle blowe

You don't pay taxes on on your first like 118k in income [1]. Because this lowers your AGI even if you make more than that you still start at the bottom of the tax bracket. Rough example you make 125k thus 125k-118k - 7k in taxable inc

S&P PE ratio isn't terribly high [1] let alone if you pull FAANG out of it [2]. There is nothing wrong though with taking some time to reduce your business/personal debt load even in good times. [1] http://www.multp

I don't believe in consequentialism. Intent is more important imo. Not to say the consequence isn't important it is just I don't think it should be the only thing taken into account.

I tried to watch his "Untold History of the United States" and it felt like some of it was taken out of context or attributing malice where naivety, incompetence or insufficient information would be a more plausible explanation. C

This kinda reminds me of the argument made in Ken Burns Vietnam that the brass tried to "measure success" of the war by body count and that created a perverse incentive to manufacture body count. And by argument I don't mean

What would the resolution even do? Like are WHO officials gonna be following around mothers telling them what to do? Seems like much to do about nothing. Doubtful many people are gonna change their behavior because of some resolution by som
