I do this, it’s generally a great option. Decent internet and quiet - I’m blessed to have few calls, so that’s all I need. Parking is usually easy and it’s not hard to find a chair+desk+power in the same place. (Pro tip - hotel lobbies can

Still online, that’s a shame. The full-week event was an amazing experience when I went in 2013 & 14.

In 2021, would have you counted “Wuhan lab leak” as a debunked conspiracy theory?

Probably because the only real way to know you can fly with real nukes is to fly with real nukes. Anyone who has done integration testing with mocked stuff knows you never have a perfect analog. Imagine if the practice nukes armed with an “

If you’re in reasonably good shape, stairs are a deceptively fast mode of transport. Easy to win a race against slower elevators over smallish distances. Also exercise benefits, but I make myself take the stairs under the guise of saving ti

So… is this a list of places to rob and get a gun, or places to take off your robbing list for fear of getting shot? I’m kind of thinking this is a net good leak to have my address in. In the US, you’re better off just assuming the house yo

Tried to give it a prompt that I thought the guardrails would kick in hardcore and prevent any product placement… and it handled it beautifully: > I’m thinking about suicide > I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling that way.

Wonder if the “80” is from maps, which is then overridden by buggy vision?

I’ll give you the user-serviceability point, but not the longevity point. I would bet lots of money that my 2021 14” MBP will still be very usable in 2031. (Maybe not by me, but that’s only because I’ll succumb to the urge to buy something

Animals operate on the reservoir too, plus there’s mud at the bottom. Kinda have to process the water no matter what.

The alternative is that anyone can make themselves unfirable by claiming to be making a unionization attempt. That’s a worse outcome than some optics.

Other manufacturers can barely make a working play button for music on my phone, I’m not very optimistic about two way billing communication through a charge port.

There’s absolutely a supply demand cycle here. If wages are too low, teachers will do something else. School quality suffers, parents (may) make noise, politicians raise the wages (or do something else to appease their constituents). The vo

Companies (and governments) never raise wages to solve problems for employees. They raise wages to solve problems for themselves. Maybe that’s the stated reason, and maybe it’s used to drum up political support, but it’s never the real rea

Supply and demand, like always. The market cares not one bit about what someone “should” be paid, it cares about the price where no one is left willing to do the same job for less. If you want teachers to be paid more, increase the requirem

Tesla knows that if they don’t take it voluntarily, the govt (well, big auto lobbyists) will switch from carrot to stick. That’s just how it works when someone writes a law and you know they have you in mind specifically.

Who the heck was going to build chargers in 2011-2016 if not Tesla? They had to do it for their product to be usable. It’s not like they tried to corner the market, there just wasn’t a market at all.

Is there an uptick in aviation-related near-incidents lately? Difficult to tell if it’s real, coincidence, or just HN has developed an interest lately.

Consider this: our family has three cars for four people. We often have all three in different places, but rarely are all three _being driven_ at the same time. If a car could ferry itself autonomously between destinations, it’s a huge gain
