I agree with the first two sentences, but not the third. In fact, I think employers often get so wrapped up in trying to "efficiently" exploit workers that they drift away from the value proposition and survivability of their core

Less reading imho, is a symptom of increasing hours worked (which is also linked to lagging livable pay). The US has been increasing the hours worked. Less leisure time and less disposable income drives a host of negative effects. https:&#

Minivans are still more likely to rollover than passenger cars, but suvs and pickups at the time of this article rollover in one in four accidents - which is shockingly high. https://www.autosafety.org/formula-predicts-rollo

Large cars are less agile, making it more difficult to avoid accidents. SUVs in particular are also much more likely to rollover than passenger cars. This makes larger vehicles less safe for their passengers.

It’s pretty clear to me that the overriding economic issue of our time is how do we systematically realign delivering quality and efficiency with profits. It’s pretty obvious that there are major breakdowns in both the current practices of

It’s not just location or lateness - though I’ve had lateness on almost every order. I don’t even care if it takes longer it’s if the delivery is estimated for three days, don’t tell me there is a five day delay the day of the delivery. Las

Funny that the article mentions that Shein can’t match Amazon two to four day delivery, but at this point Amazon isn’t meeting that for Amazon. Amazon has messed up more orders this year for me than they have in a decade before of using the

I found the mastodon / fediverse space to be somewhat slow paced to start with, but after a while of following interesting people gets to much better interaction space. People and topics you are personally interested in and want to rea

If we decide that statistics are more necessary in earlier education there is nothing stopping us from building a system with more teacher training for stats education.

I have to think there is a lot of crossover between Wikipedia edit review interactions and code review interactions in terms of what actually brings out better quality outcomes and what make for discouragement of efforts.

Also, a number of domestic mfrs are switching over the the Tesla charging plug, some as soon as the '24 year models. Don't know what the arrangements for using the network will look like though.

I don't dispute the numbers in the study, but without added context, I think some of the comparisons lead to nonsensical conclusions because of the shifting landscape of new model availability with added manufacturers. Also I think a l

How are those non-tesla models selling used? I don’t think any of them are even three years old. It seems like a skewed comparison.

Sure, but I'm not sure that's at the root either. Suburbs exist in part due to subsidy decisions on automotive infrastructure. And they're in a stress point in the return-to-office work remote debate now, because even with su

This is such an interesting comment to me because it gets so much right on how to motivate ditching cars. If you were funding a campaign to eliminate cars to reduce carbon emissions I think you would meet with widespread resistance. If you

That seems like it supports the principle of shared pain and shared profit and it’s good that the laws and company/union structure supports that. I think it’s better for stable long term stability and growth of a nation.

Sounds like a strong danger of applying a modern form of red lining & financial deplatforming. If you’re a higher risk, of course any financial products that you can access will cost more in fees and interest. Who is considered a higher

If an individual driver did what the cruise vehicle did, then I would expect a suspended license during investigation. It just happens the AI diver is the singular “driver” for an entire fleet.

This makes me think about why new more accountable systems between companies sometimes fail in implementation. Sometimes the existing players are happy with the exploitable gaps in the existing system.

There is a financial incentive to be reliable enough to at least make it to the next sale with your reputation intact. Especially if it’s on a feature that I would guess was paired with a higher end trim which implies higher end customers.

Tesla owns a solar cell and storage battery business. This is owning the vertical integration of EV fuel. You don’t need exclusive access to the Sun any more than an oil company needs to monopolize all oil fields to succeed.

Not really sure what is so bad about the delivery of Disney+, if anything it’s categorizations are cleaner and simpler (perhaps in part because they have less content). The ui is imho less annoying then Netflix. But I have both services and
