From what I understand the FTC is shifting away from the doctrine that consumer benefit/harm as the deciding factor for an antitrust case.

Zipline doesn’t pay like google but is decent, they post salaries for their roles. A Stanford classmate of mine works there according to LinkedIn.

My current company was somewhat involved with them as a supplier I think, before my time. They never had robotic pizza trucks, they were just regular pizza trucks with an app. They hired so many engineers they loaned some out to my company

Your phone has a tiny antenna, unless you live out in the country you won’t have good sky view most of the time, and it takes time to get a fix. Most people open their phone and expect to know where they are within a few seconds.

During large storms sewage does end up in the bay and ocean. SF county has pretty active monitoring and you can view hotspots in almost real time. San Mateo samples weekly and their warnings follow a moving average so their don’t swim warni

Looting a couple handbags or iPhones easily gets you over the felony limit, still no action. The police in the Bay Area just really don’t want to do their jobs unless there’s a gun involved. The law change provides a convenient scapegoat bu

I don’t have time to look up tuitions for each state, but that’s highly dependent on where you chose to live. Something that your children have no control over. I certainly did not have a “very good public university” with $10k tuition. My

Assuming you’re American you are really screwing then over by not paying for college. The FAFSA assumes a parental contribution. It’s not just other parents, but the federal government and all the colleges themselves that have the expectati

I’ve had a couple offers of 1%. One was my first job which I accepted because I needed a job. The second was a YC backed startup during Covid. The base salary was $100k which I didn’t think was close to acceptable. The salary ranges were re

A writer on addressed this on a podcast. They said maintain business as usual unless you see a call to action from the writers/union. A large shift in response to such a request sends a much stronger message than a slow trickle of canc

Bleeding edge tech will stay in Taiwan. I also wonder if the Arizona plant could stand on its own without guidance from HQ. Got a few recruiter emails about jobs in the AZ plant and you had to spend at least a year in Taiwan training before

A lot of economics seems to me like the “perfectly spherical cow in a vacuum” jokes you hear about physics. There’s no concept of friction or activation energy. “The market” simply adjusts in real time without human interaction. In the real

I think this misses the point. At the beginning he states very clearly that the people providing the labor are best positioned to determine if the labor is bullshit, which seems like a reasonable starting point. The purpose of the book is p

We use both at my job, sustaining products with microchip and pre production with ST, it’s about even for terrible lead times. At least with ST I don’t have terrible debug hardware on top of my terrible lead times. I don’t know why anyone w

Even without any obstacles a rented jeep Cherokee felt like it was constantly trying to kill me on mountain roads. The lane assist also turned itself back on every time the car started. Another baffling feature was that the car refused to m

A company called Tactus tried this, they collapsed and pivoted to making screen coatings from what I know. Manufacturing the membranes for the raised buttons proved very difficult.

You memorize the equations for position and velocity without learning how you can derive one from the other. In my school we took no calc physics sophomore year then senior had the option to take AP physics which finally introduced calc. My

The CO2 question is a good one, but I’m glad this isn’t commonplace where I live. I planned to stay and work remotely from Oaxaca for a month about a year ago. Unfortunately trash service isn’t very reliable and many people burn theirs at n

They’ve clearly ratcheted up the enforcement, EANABs did not used to be mandated (except maybe having water available?), and underage drinking was only a problem for the person doing it if they got caught outside with an open container or b

This seems overly pessimistic (unsurprising given that it’s written by an eventual fascist). Egalitarian societies do exist, but they take work to maintain. The Mondragon corporation functions as a cooperative despite its large size. I know

Stanford ain’t gonna teach you Unix either. I think they at least teach git usage in the intro classes now, but certainly did not while was there. Wasn’t a CS major but took a number of classes. The only class I took that touched on anythin

In my (limited) experience this type of thing is very common on the design side but much more rare in manufacturing. An arduino/raspberry pi lets an ME/EE with limited software skills get a lot of test automation done. Last big co

Nothing scientific but on motorcycle forums I used to frequent people often blamed E15 for seals swelling up and no longer working. I can’t say if that’s the cause but I did have a face gasket between the fill neck and tank expand. After si
