"Racing" is the wrong way to go with this. This thing is not fast compared to actual race cars. It would fit far better in a trashy new monster truck smash setting.

Not sure, in 2020 they were losing over $3M a day with an annual loss of $1,136,000,000, but I read they reduced their losses in 2021. Haven't seen any data for 2022.

Ironically, it's probably best to buy stocks and crypto when they are in valleys like this rather than at peaks. The unemployment rate is still only 3.5% in the US, so anyone getting laid off is being hired back almost immediately wit

Interesting, wasting Tesla resources and engineer time to review code from an unrelated business just for Musk... Tesla's board is ok with this why?

Most importantly, plaintiffs do not need to prove damages in these accessibility lawsuits in israel, which is an awful desig,. So, these lawyers are likely not even impacted by the websites they are suing.

Possibly, but a bureaucratic organization in Canada would not be a proper place to determine qualifications for software engineering. They are constantly behind the times in terms of testing, latest technology, and best practices.

Nostalgia distorts reality a bit. 2001-2007 you're looking at 9/11, war on terror, and the plunge into the Great Recession. Not exactly good times in the US, but probably better if you're living in Ukraine or Russia. Covid

Something to weigh in is their stock is lower now than it was in 2016 by about 15% so it wouldn't be all that surprising if their layoff number was significantly higher than the 2016 number.

It's just a matter of a specialization. You were a backend app engineer who wasn't specialized in containers and cloud deployments. You shouldn't be expected to know everything in the software engineering landscape. The sa

I agree pressure can play a part, but thinking clearly under pressure can be a very important skill to assess in a candidate depending on your company. For a high growth startup, there is often a lot of pressure to deliver effective code q

I could see this being ok if the certs were retaken regularly. Passing a cert at one point in time doesn't mean you've retained all the knowledge that cert is suppose to assess after some time has passed. This is essentially wha
