This is very region dependent. When I left education for consulting after 10 years as a HS teacher, I was making 55k. I started at 38k.

“ Right now they’re expensive because they’re essentially just sitting around.” Why do you think that’s the reason for these high prices rather than, say, lack of competition?

I’ve been eyeing the CPO P2s. Sub-30k is tempting depending on the year.

Are they rapidly improving though? Sure, other companies are making an effort to catch up with Tesla on autonomous driving, but range/speed/price are largely stagnant. Mostly, it looks like every company (in the US/EU)is in s

The Polestar 2/EX40 probably have the most mature software of that lineup. Not without issues (and certainly underpowered pre-‘24), but relatively stable by comparison. I don’t understand the logic of having each Polestar model running

The VW Group is putting billions into their partnership with Rivian specifically to improve the software experience (and enabling hardware). It may be the only thing that keeps Rivian alive until (if) the R2 successfully launches to the mas

There’s a startup not far from me working on remotely operated construction machines. They explicitly are targeting terrestrial as well as space operations, but I would be curious if the communication latency to any reasonably close celesti

At this point, Solarpunk has barely - if at all - escaped the aesthetic stage to produce any meaningful narrative works. Feels relevant that its origin story is tightly associated with a Chobani advertisement.

I was a HS teacher for about a decade. The demands on kids and families around youth sports (especially private/club leagues) is out of control. I had students, 14/15-years-old, going to their school team practice then club team

Telepathy, or maybe memory and experience sharing media machine, or maybe humanity id unification device, or maybe flesh robot actualizer, or maybe a looping torture horror show mask. The possibilities are endless!

I know that in recent years Target has announced that they were investigating, in partnership with local and federal law enforcement, organized theft rings. It was publicly reported on here in Minneapolis.

That US private company was significantly enabled by a (apparently temporary) government policy of direct and indirect financial support. That company does not exist without the direct and intentional support by the US government.

Maybe I am misunderstanding your comment, but I dont see plasma gasification as waste reduction. We are reusing the waste for energy production. We could be making efforts to reduce the overall amount of plastic waste (perhaps through legis

Is there any (realistic) concern that plasma gasification causes an adverse incentive to generate additional waste vs waste reduction efforts because now localities are, to some degree, dependent on feeding the machine to generate electrici

I do not think that labor sentiment has a strong impact on whether or not jobs are automated away. Go watch an old movie from the 40’s or 50’s that features a hotel. The number of small, niche jobs that existed are surprisingly numerous by

My father was a commercial artist in the 80’s-2000’s. He was also very early on the transition of analog desktop publishing to digital graphic design. This is exactly how the ad agency guys talked about things: at first, it was great. We c

I’m not in denial that someone somewhere at some time has taught Lolita at the HS level, but the suggestion that it’s common and “taught in a lot of high school classrooms” requires evidence. The same reason you find that idea infuriating i

I was a high school English teacher for a decade. While there are texts that may be taught at the grade 12 or AP level that include sex and sexuality, “Lolita” is not being “taught often” at the HS level. I’ve never known it to be discussed

It’s also very common for people to get therapy at free or minimal cost (<$50) when utilizing insurance. Long term relationships (off and on) are also quite common. Whether or not the therapist takes insurance is a choice, and it’s true

If the social policy of the progressive left were capable of wrapping itself in the messaging of Family, Community, and Freedom for rural America - there would be an appetite. Remember that for a large swath of Trump voters, Bernie Sanders

A few years - and a couple babies - ago, I transitioned from education to implementation consulting. I have been doing very well at it, but I’m not an owner and won’t get rich. It’s a funny thing to feel very good about my time as an educat

Perfect for the daily 7 hour commute once we’re reduced to a handful of global megacities with vehemently enforced RTO.
