Lunch-and-learn sounds interesting to try things out. Constantly having a VC with your co-workers appears to be the closest you can get to actual coworking. Maybe VR/AR will remove even more distance in the future. Edit: Maybe the ess

When I last had to book a rental car and they did not show me the final price on the order now page I cancelled and choose a different company. Completely unacceptable.

Interesting. Don't know if it's just me, but progress in battery research often seems to happen accidentaly.

There is a 13" Sony DPT-S1 reader that is made for technical documents. The only use case is reading somewhere outside for me, I would else prefer a tablet.

Balancing features and usability is one of the hardest problems product management has to face. Removing an existing feature is not a piece of cake, but companies are a bit too worried about it in my opinion. Btw. don't think the Tesla

Just because type inference exists doesn't mean that you have to use in every case. Better to establish best practices when to use type annotations.

Would you recommend a specific book?

When you trust George Friedman, and he should know better, then funding of both sides actually is a strategy not a mistake. People often think that there is moral involved in those decisions, but there isn't, not at all.
