If we are both in the office, and I start using my phone to send you text messages that are harassment, and/or messages to our coworkers that make fun of you, is that the companies problem? If we are now both working from home, does th

It works really well. During the pandemic, everything I needed was within a couple blocks of me. I went so long without needing to drive that my car actually had issues afterwards.

I'm also receiving these emails, but didn't realize anything was different because my email is ready for people to accidently sign up with. Please, if you are implementing an email confirmation process, include a way to say "

Utilization is Service Time times Arrival Rate, ie if requests arrive twice as fast utilization is doubled, and also if a service takes twice as long to process. When the theoretical service is optimized to take half a long, the assumption

No, they certainly should, and according to them they are trying to. There is currently an unknown level of demand at the current price point, all we know is that it is probably far more than current supply. There's every reason to bel

Currently they cannot manufacture enough to cover demand at $1000/ month. Why would the price come down before they can supply current demand?

The actual return on an ESPP is actually way better than the discount too. You get that discount, even for the money you contributed most recently . A 15% discount is actually a 17% return (1/.85), and you get that return on money you

Since they have identical signaling, why would you avoid a non approved adapter?

by cpitman 3y ago
There's also the impact from telling everyone that future cars will all use NACS. Buying a non-Tesla for the next two years means dealing with adapters more and more often.

Even making deposits into the account incurs transactions. Sure, speed doesn't matter here, but overhead does.

We're a few months in, and it has turned out that we've not needed all that many passwords these days, with a lot of services supporting SSO.

Yep, same boat. I didn't realize the S10 went out of support last year. Other than the battery having less charge, it works well. Wonder how much longer it is safe to use?

There are lots of euro games that require a full play through to understand the game. And even then, many popular games where everytime I play with a new group I expect the rules to have been misunderstood in new ways. Look at Root, a very

That's not accurate. The EVSE communicates a max current to the vehicle, but does nothing to actively control the current. It should monitor the current and kill the circuit if the vehicle attempts to draw too much, but that only happe

Maybe it was that the manager was being pressured to PIP a certain percentage of people, and instead pushed back really hard to retain this person because they wanted to retain them instead. Before spending their political capital, they ask

I only used OSH Park once before switching, but I ended up waiting many data just for them to have enough orders to batch together and send to the manufacturer. In comparison, I can order boards from JLCPCB and components from DK on the san

Web Forms and Windows Forms were both relevant for over a decade. For front end tech, that's pretty good. The Windows GUI tools definitely seem to be struggling. Developing native desktop apps is much rarer these days, so all the attem

You're right that there are some loans included in that number, but it looks like it is not even half of it: "27% of students received Federal Student Loans averaging $4,835 and 10% of undergrads took out private student loans ave

At least for elite public schools, the average student receives more in "aid" than they pay, meaning they are paying less than half of the "price". https://www.collegesimply.com/colleges/illinois&#x2

Those breaks are massive. The average UIUC student pays 13,500 per year and receives 15,000 in "aid". That is less than half the sticker price. https://www.collegesimply.com/colleges/illinois/university-o

Sure, but having a couple exits makes them extreme outliers. The entire point of the article is that quoting public tuition prices is an illusion obscuring the true cost. What is the average or median student paying? Edit: At least accordin

Since average debt is still less than the average cost of college, couldn't this just be changes in the availability and utilization of loans?

Air and Space has been undergoing a massive renovation, and reopened the first half last year. That includes a very good Wright brothers exhibit, easily better (IMO) than the one at Kitty Hawk. Beyond that, all the new exhibits are great. H
