I own a Tesla, and I'm not a Tesla apologist. There's tons of stuff that is just wrong about that car (the UI for example, is a dumpster fire). That said, I recall hearing some stuff in the early Tesla days about how the cars coul

I only have my own experience to draw upon, so I may be an outlier, but I didn't buy a Tesla because of its Autopilot feature. If they pulled the feature today, I'd be totally fine with that. As a user of Autopilot, it's abso

I drive a Tesla. If my car rear ends another car, that's my fault. Doesn't matter if I had Autopilot on or not. Imagine if you were rear ended by a Toyota and the driver said "it was on cruise control, shrug ." Would yo

I'm confused. Digital images can be posted here AND sent to an insurance company. What am I missing?

I'd be surprised if doing this wasn't considered illegal in some states. At the very least, the interviewing company might be able to sue you or the original candidate for fraud. Laws or not, this also sounds completely unethical.

When you say "inference", do you mean "interface", or is "inference" an ML term I'm not familiar with?

I think you mean severance agreement. Had I talked about how I was fired, I wouldn't have seen a severance agreement from that company. If I'm misinterpreting what you're trying to say I'd encourage you to make it easy f

Correct. I didn't name them. I'm not sure what "shared and accepted" means. Mostly the "accepted" part.

Knowing the name of the first company doesn't help make my point that lawyers may advise you that you can't win a fight with a crappy company. I considered naming my current company but didn't want to be called out for promot

I forgot to mention: the company that fired me did offer a severance package, though if I'd accepted it, I would have needed to agree to never talk about the circumstances of my leaving the company. It was worth every penny I didn&#x27

I've been in a similar situation as that described by the author, and went shopping for lawyers. The four lawyers who would even talk to me basically said this: Even if you have documentation, there's nothing stopping a company fr

I liked the idea, but then saw: > Our toothbrush-sponge consists only of silicone and nylon, which is totally easy to recycle. I'd love seeing how easy it is to recycle silicone and nylon. Maybe it's just me, but compared to ot

I'll assume you're being hyperbolical. By all measurements the latest Safari, whether on the desktop or mobile device, is as "modern" a browser as any of the others. I frequently build PWAs, and see no more friction buil

I own an M1 Macbook Air. At its hottest, it's a fraction of the "normal" heat that my year old Intel based Macbook Pro runs at. To get the M1 warm, I need to be charging it while also playing an Intel based game like the late

I wonder if it's been fixed. I use a Bluetooth mouse with a M1 based Macbook Air, as well as with a 2018 MBP. I haven't noticed any issues with WiFi or with mouse in either. I'm pretty sure I've also used that arrangemen

Whatever Intel. I've been using the M1 Macbook Air for a few weeks now and its remarkable. Faster than any Intel based Mac I've owned. Even runs apps faster using Rosetta2 than the most recent Intel based Macbook Pro. And runs iOS

Saying "I took a break due to stress or other mental issues" isn't semi-honest - it's simply true. Personally, I think it's still worth avoiding. It's similar to how, at least in the US, saying "I'll

I've probably interviewed more than 1000 people in the tech industry over the course of 25 years. Some of those interviews were conducted while I was a CTO, a cofounder, or high level exec within a company. Here are some things that mi

To be clear, Google shutdown in-house game development. Stadia itself is currently still available.

You reacting to something is not the same as reacting + seeing the rendered frame. There's an entire chain of things that contribute to latency, and network latency is only one part of that chain. From what I've experienced on a p

I never said Stadia would be better than local when it comes to latency, though I wouldn't blame you for assuming that's what I meant. Latency will be increased. An argument I was trying to make is that for other reasons, and for

I hate doing this, but I feel like I need to pick at each of your described hurdles, because I think each of them make assumptions or assertions that don't hold up. 1. You claim PC gamers do it for the hardware as much as the software.

I don't disagree. But right now, it doesn't matter if I disagree or not. US law makes it very clear what responsibilities and rights publishers have. Title 47 U.S. Code § 230 explicitly states that publishers are not liable for th

While you added rate limiting, it looks like you might have only done it for `RemoteAddr`. If I set random `X-Forwarded-For` and `X-Real-IP` I seems to let me post as quickly as I'd like. That allowed me to send 200 backspaces, then fi

Who said anything about dry air? Winter in SLC and Utah County brings an inversion layer that traps polluted air from the ground up to about 8000 feet above sea level. That pollution causes all sorts of respiratory issues. Speaking from exp
