How do meals compare with eating in an actual restaurant? I've been ordering takeout a little more since the pandemic began, and I've had disappointing meals. Bad estimates mean that I might pick up the meal late, and it didn&#x27

That reminds me of trying to stream a tv show off of the channel's website a few years ago. I kept getting an error whenever I tried to stream the actual episode. The worst part was that the ads worked, so to retry I would have to watc

The 2021 Rav4 prime also looks really. It has an estimated 40+ mile EV range. That should take care of most of your daily trips. But at 50k Toyota has a lot of competition with EVs and other hybrids.

I'd still be worried about fast charging impacting battery life. I've heard reports that it can degrade batteries. And personally fast charging isn't too important to me, except for trips. I'd be fine charging at home, i

That's what I was thinking. And with autopilot type systems the car could line it self up to the cable. The major downside is that this might increase vendor lock-in for recharging stations.

I'm not quite sure what specific problem is being solved. Part a sounds ok, but sounds more political than practical. I don't like requiring proof that a person knowingly broke a regulation to criminally charge them. I can think o

And at higher levels equity becomes a bigger portion of comp. So you can get 100k+ in equity a year as a senior IC.

Yeah, but we could have done more. There was a lot of supply chain issues the government just ignored. I remember in early 2020 when masks were unavailable a couple domestic mas manufacturers were saying they weren't comfortable produc

I don't really remember medical experts were saying in early 2020, but I would have supported banning specific countries if it was based on a framework that adjusted bans as the number of cases changed. I remember being unimpressed wit

You can talk about wanting more ownership. That can include talking about working closely with end users and making long term design decisions.

It's not the only solution for building products. But you can still maintain dev autonomy. Instead of having senior team-members break apart work into story-sized pieces a system can be broken apart into smaller pieces. Devs can still

It would be like scrum of scrums in LeSS or PIs in SAFe. But instead of focusing on what work would be done, it would focus on how it would be done, and what changes scrum masters would make.

I definitely agree with you, but I don't think that's sufficient. I think at larger companies it would be helpful to spend a day or two every quarter having a scrum increment meeting. The SI would let scrum lords and scrum masters

Preciseness is important but both DNC and RNC hqs are about a half mile walk from the Capitol building.

What's also disturbing is that the Pentagon severely limited the DC National Guard days before the protests. Allowing things like surveillance and air assets wouldn't have caused any issues if the protests really were peaceful. h

The MSM can't be compared to QAnon and OANN related media. One has professional standards, the other starts conspiracy theories.

Another issue is that hiring is expensive and FANG companies have a ton of applicants. Raising the bar on algorithmic interview performance is a straightforward way to filter applicants that is relevant to job performance. After the initial

One benefit of that is that you can't take work home, although I think Covid is forcing them to make some changes.

Entering personal info might also be understandable. My employer gives a Christmas gift. This year they asked us to update a form with our temporary address if we were in a different location.

I heard a rumor that Stripe recently changed their initial RSU grant. Now the value is fixed, you get $x worth of stock every year. So new hires lose out on a lot of the upside from stock growth.

I'm not quite sure. I didn't enjoy the wild fires this year, that becoming normal would push me out of the bay area. The only other major complaint I have is the high cost of living. Sure, there are a lot of policy issues there. B

Yeah, that's my concern. It would be different if I was wanting to buy a house. I actually like my apartment in the bay area, but when the office did shut down I looked at what it would cost. I wouldn't save much money because I w
