I second this - it really helps to be on good terms knowing the client by having worked in the same location for a while before starting something. Remote work relies a lot on trust. I'm about to leave a startup after 9 years where I&#

I do find ugly cars repulsive, but as other's say it's a personal taste thing. It's the same guy, Dante Giacosa, who designed the Multipla and the 500. I too dislike bland cars, but almost any mass market car is going to be b

I don't see why you're getting down voted so much. Other than it's a pretty vacuous comment with nothing to back up the statement. Nevertheless I do agree. I get really frustrated at how people are willing to accept cars that

Wow, the Model 3 has 25% of the total EV sales. When combined with the S/X it's over 33% of the monthly sales. For one car company to have such a large share of a car market monthly sales is pretty impressive. Plus that list inclu

Personally I love the way you describe the brain in the simplest terms possible. You're describing what has the potential to be a very scary hard to learn topic in the simplest terms possible. I'd liken this to how Andrew Ng manag
