You have missed the point of the article. It's not just about him. It's comedy in general; Zucker can just naturally relate his own experiences and perspective most accurately.

So you're ignoring all the points of the video? That autopilot lulls the human brain slowly away from attention even with knowledge of its necessity? You're describing a flawed overall system. It has to be nearly perfect or it wou

Autopilot is just poor quality. Period. If it can't even try to avoid a deer like this, it's bad software (and hardware). What should Tesla do? Make better software and hardware, and not let people pay for it and use it until it i

I told Facebook recruiters to stop contacting me because I will never work for them due to my personal ethics. Maybe others have also done this and Facebook's talent pool is the remaining assholes.

People with these sort of ideal solutions rarely have kids. The parent article is better advice in that domain.

This is really cool but I feel like it glosses over married accounting, which is a longer session of yelling things like "Honey! What's this PayPal for $117 3 weeks ago?!"

Corporate philanthropy triggers my BS detector a bit though. Do you think a non-profit would be different? Like, say, ASPCA or UNICEF instead of the Exxon-Mobil Climate Taskforce or whatever corporate philanthropy means (I actually do not k

If it's that simple why is burnout so topical now at month 17 of covid19? I think it's actually: your boundaries needed to significantly change during the pandemic, and you didn't recognize that in time. If covid19 had been e

If it's literally food on the table at risk, your finances are stretched way too thin and you should solve that separately. And living on the edge like this is probably a big contributor to burnout/stress. But to try to answer you

What is your source? I see lots of anecdotes about Tesla service problems which doesn't seem like more value. I believe Tesla in general has a fairly dismal quality rating, but IIRC they don't allow participation in stuff like JD

Reminder that Tesla ranges they market don't hold up to real world testing, while for other EVs (like Porsche) the opposite can be true. https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/electric-car-range-and-cons... Note: Edmund

This is an interesting story, but does it have any point? I struggled to find it. Is it that learning can't be isolated so organizations shouldn't bother with formal training? Yet that doesn't seem right. Strange. I enjoyed t

Whew definitely don't look at Elon Musk's private jet usage in that case.

There's a big difference though between minor ongoing consumption of their services versus choosing to work for these companies.

Waymo has full self driving. Tesla isn't close and at this point doesn't seem likely to ever get there. It's rather distressing that such blatant false advertising is allowed to exist. Elon is the nightmare Product Manager ou

SF annoys me in an engineering sense because they chose a non standard gauge that has needlessly increased the cost of the whole thing. But yeah, carpeted cars is also insane (I see they finally removed that). To be fair NYC system is maybe

Yep, cars are bouncing off Seattle monorail pillars constantly.

The part Musk did: inserted a step 1.5 of building a mythos as someone essentially worshipped by one of history's biggest group of fanboys. You can find a nameless CEO guilty. No one cares. No popular Twitter account or quirky pop cult

Cleanliness and punctuality are also factors for me.

Not sure great is the adjective I would use. Extensive, sure (unless you're going to LaGuardia).

The ToS people's follow up venture, Tastyworks, is now better IMHO.

You are right, but that's exactly the pressure I'm referring to. Is "I am totally burnt out to work on that thing where people will be breathing down my neck" a good reason?

Good point. I guess he means full time, but it all does seem half baked. Maybe his wife has a good job and insurance.

I thought that at first too, but he says he likes picking old tickets off the backlog. There's usually no product pressure or deadlines with that sort of work. Which is actually the source of burnout perhaps?

Um, if the goal was to make investing while in Congress unappealing I would just ban that. Index funds only. Don't like it? Don't run for re election.

Agreed. Also the mediums of old are what drove classic ads. When you can only fit so many full page, expensive, color ads in a magazine... yes putting more time and money into it makes sense. The closest remaining "old ways" are S

I saw these too, mostly on Twitter. I shorted Boeing based on them and made some nice money. My friends didn't believe me that this was looking real bad.
