This has been the biggest red flag to me about oxide since these blogs came out. You don’t join a startup for salary and every startup I’ve been at that emphasizes fair salaries is doing that to intentionally discourage people from pushin

That’s unrelated to what I’m saying. My point is that spacex isn’t driven by shareholders

80% of it? The goals of NASA haven’t been fundamentally altered

SpaceX’s mission is very explicitly not shareholder aligned, which is why Musk explicitly said he would never take it public or sell his majority stake. The mission is mars and the money making endeavors (starlink) are to bring in the cash

Im not sure this applies. Good people at NASA were already capable of easily finding higher pay in the private sector. People work at NASA because they believe in the mission. So if they are leaving now they either stopped believing in the

It’s a pretty serious federal crime to impersonate an emergency vehicle at those. So definitely worth just running the red.

Depends on why they are there. Refugees tend to care about the country they came from more and the one they landed in they view as a temporary shelter.

That’s my point. A commute like that is not a sign of luxury

Public bus rides cost proportionately the same to min wage in California if that helps. The Y and the bus haven’t turned into upscale things if that’s the point you’re trying to make.

Your barrier sounds like some other anxiety issue unrelated to economic status. You know how important swimming lessons are and yet just gave up and skipped it entirely? Or are you actually privileged and had other swimming lesson options f

they only welcomed him after he won in a big ring kissing competition (apart from Musk and a famous VC or two of course)

Put them at the lowest level if you don’t know. That’s easy. As far as schedule goes, who’s taking care of the kid? At age 3 or 4 when you do this, it’s not like they are in school so some adult has to be around at 5:45pm.

Not really access, but interest. The YMCA offers swimming lessons easily within reach of poor families that want them. A subset of the population just thinks it’s useless.

Your point is wrong. Everywhere in the US has access to some form of swimming. Whether or not someone learns to swim is dominated by what their parents raising them decide. It’s much more likely to follow an urban vs suburban/rural div

I didn’t make a mistake. You struggled to read my sentence because you parsed it incorrectly. It’s a compound sentence. Let me split it for you. > “Higher” is a homophone with “hire” and “hire” already has a critical role in reference to

Arizona was the worst possible example. It has the lowest ratio of people per pool in the county. Additionally, pools are far more dangerous for children than the coasts because they are sitting right there at home ever present waiting for

That’s not an example of open source that doesn’t benefit corporations. Linux is amazing for corporations.

It’s emotionally immature to couple these things together. Would you refuse to board a plane if you knew the pilot attended pro-life protests? Would you go around telling other people in the boarding line this “FYI”?

You missed the point, it has nothing to do with careers specifically. It’s that it doesn’t encourage engineering at all, which is why it doesn’t result in engineering careers.

The problem is precisely that they’re not eating healthy. They’re getting into talking about it instead.

So? My point is that’s a miserable life to put up with when you can afford a $3 million dollar home. 8% of your waking life going to and from work without getting paid for it is dumb

Pitching a 45 minute commute as as something as acceptable for $3 million is insane. It has nothing to do with class. That’s a shit life driving that every day.

What’s changed? That general sentiment has been around for the last 15-20 years but they keep plugging along.

They do no handle like a Porsche. Too heavy. Claiming Toyota reliability is pretty bold for cars that have been on the market for a year.

This isn’t true in robberies where someone pulls a gun as an intimidation tactic. There are plenty of videos where the store owner shoots a robber who pulled out a gun before the robber could fire.
