I understand why they do it, but I am curious why there is nobody in this kind of position that is going for something that is better in technical terms, not just compatible. For example, 2 meters or even 2.5m would provide better load capa

Don't lie. If you are caught, very nasty things can happen to you.

Yes. If I will have to go there on a normal visa, I will not take my phone with me, just the SIM card. For the laptop, I don't care at all, it is a company laptop and as long as the company agrees to open it up for the border control,

How it should be and how it is, that depends on who is the decision maker. If the decision maker is a technical person, there is no gap, but in my case the decision maker is a non-technical manager with no competence to make such decisions,

In real life I find using AI for SQL dangerous. It allows people that don't know what they do to write queries that can significantly impact servers. In my world databases are relatively big for most developers, but not huge. Sometimes

We used to be a bit bigger than that, with contractors included probably more than double that number.

Not at Google, but in a different American company of similar size (not capitalization): the quote about the strategy applies exactly the same, the criticism of middle management is the same. Internally we have an official name for the poli

Corporation rot. If you are successful when you are relatively small and hire the best and brightest, then you scale out in numbers, you go down as this model is not scalable. When you have tens of thousands of people, you bring "profe

Important or motivating? It is not the same thing. For older people that already have kids, parental leave is useless.

20 years riding bikes and I never knew I have this problem. Even now I don't have it. It sounds like a nice gimmick but not a solution to a real problem, at least not for European traffic where bikes are reasonably fine and where the t

This is an old problem that was solved and not solved. Most motorcycles in the past 25 years are decently quiet, unless you rev it up at night and everyone will hear it. But it is the same with the cars. At the same time, there is a signifi

Sitting on my bike, I am taller than any pedestrian. I have visibility and I am visible over most European cars. Just saying.

That picture with the almost-empty truck seems to be the situation that he describes. He wants the 18 wheeler truck, but it is too expensive for just a suitcase.

I am curious why your no revenue projects need the complexity, features and benefits of something like Kubernetes. Why you cannot just to it the archaic way of compiling your app, copy the files to a folder and run it there and never touch

The comparison with kevlar and titanium is weird, as they don't compete in the same category of strength and they are not the strongest in their categories. "I heard kevlar is used in flak vests, so it must be strong" is not

It is not down, we are probably overwhelming the server. It works, intermittently.

I haven't been to one in the last 6-7 years, but in the times I did, it was quite fake. The corporate ones were definitely fake to the bone (max. cringe), the external ones so and so. Nowadays I have zero expectations, its just some ev

I grew up with sci-fi as it was one of the very few genres allowed in Communist Romania. It was a mix of authors from Asimov to Strugatski, from Philip K. Dick to Ursula K Le Guin. It was sometimes very dark, sometimes moderate, but overall

"Jobs in Alabama" does not fly anyone to the moon, good engineering does. SpaceX, if we like it or not, does good engineering by making the cost of rockets low, anybody can spend money but not everybody will deliver results and ev

A dollar spent is a dollar spent, but GDP is about production, not spending. If you spend a dollar for 1 iron nail or 1 dollar for 100 iron nails, it is not the same production even if by dollar measure it is the same value. Governments are

That is not the measure in discussion. If SwissLife brings a better outcome from the 71 Euros than French national healthcare from 93 Euros (best case for French and worst from Swiss), then it is still better with SwissLife. Measure the out

The only valid point of concern is government self-spending. Maybe we can look at GDP and GDP excl govt spending as 2 separate metrics, each has its own merits. A relative of mine is working for my country's government for a very long

What is the point of the link? Unless you play in the nuclear physics, Carbon in is Carbon out. Carbon in fuel is Carbon out of the engine.

If you want to reduce carbon emissions, if the tax is regressive or not does not matter as long as you tax emissions. If you want to mix too many things, you will not get a good solution for any.

by AdrianB1 1y ago
You don't create carbon out of thin air, it's from the fuel, so burning the same quantity of fuel will result in the same quantity of carbon, no matter how the engine works. Therefore a tax on fuel is a tax on carbon.

In a company with 100,000 employees even a few hundred will not make a difference, even if they all work in the same department and make it critical for the company. This is my experience, it may be better in other situations and other comp

There are some hills not worth die on. There are moments when a retreat is better than a worthless fight, saving people in the process. I did the same mistake working for a company that went from morally sound to "almost-Enron". I
