Forgive my ignorance, but isn't this not supposed to happen with LIDAR equipped cars? My understanding is that a LIDAR provides a completely accurate 3D map of the surrounding area around a self driving car. This is in contrast to Tesl

For Triplebyte they have a two hour interview with a real engineer who has passed their own interview. Even if you cheat on the live interview, you still have to do an on-site at the company that might hire you, so it’s not a huge benefit t

This isn’t really true. You take out a bond because you think you can make more ROI than the interest rate. Utilities in particular take out bonds to build power plants and hope to generate more profit than the cost of interest. The operate

Doesn't the chart in TFA directly directly contradict the point of TFA? From TFA: http://lao.ca.gov/Blog/Media/Image/957 Net out migration is at a fairly low level compared to other times since 1990.

1. The parents of those children contribute to the economy and pay taxes, and by deporting them you are harming the local economy, and also reducing your tax base. Thus the gain will be less than $1200/yr. 2. Some of the kids of unauth

Interesting, although those are sort of nit picks, they probably reflect the overall engineering quality of the Model 3. While I don't have much context on this, it does seem concerning. I wasn't able to find anything by Munro on

That car costs over $40k, has worse range than the Model 3, and looks ugly. It seems worse in every way.

It looks really bad for a car costing over $35k. I don’t see how it’s better than a Model 3, besides that there are no supply issues.

If you have a giant traffic spike, it's nice to know where it came from. Eg. if you get linked on Hacker News, you can go to the thread and engage with potential customers.

I agree with the concerns about professor rating. Students are in a weird position where they are a “customer” in a sense but their incentives are not aligned with the university for grading. They may ensure up paying $20k to have a profess

Some food for thought: Congress just passed a tax cut bill costing $1.5 trillion over ten years, or $150 billion. That's enough to build a California HSR ever year for the next ten years, accounting for 50% budget overrun, and still
