Has anyone built a desk with modular rails like this (perhaps out of 8020)? I won't be buying this, but I like that idea specifically. I have a bunch of stuff attached to my desk through various clamps/screws/3M stuff, and th

If you think of them as more of a product/industrial design firm than an audio firm, it makes sense. All of their products have stood out design wise.

It's wild, it's basically an Ikea desk but for $1600. I guess IKEA doesn't have the cool machined rails and stuff, but not clear what they're going to do with that.

Elsewhere in this thread, someone describes selling lasercut items on Etsy, which is obviously highly automated. Would you argue that shouldn't be considered handmade?

I always ask about work-life balance when I get an offer. Companies so far have been pretty honest about it. There's really no point in hiring someone who is not going to fit with the work culture.

That's for sure true. "Unlimited" vacation only works if the company has a good WLB in general. At a company like you're describing, having defined PTO days doesn't always help that much either.

> As a manager I’d also hate this - it’s another thing that I would have to keep track of and weigh. I don’t want to have to discuss with people about how much PTO is okay! That’s something somebody else should decide! It's so easy

If the company has good work life balance, it's great. We have unlimited vacation where I work and it's actually fantastic. Most people take 4-6 weeks off. Personally I take 8 some years. It's so much more relaxing to not hav

$1400 doesn't seem that bad for the very first product of this type compared to other e-mobility stuff. E-bikes can cost around that price point (and way more of course) and they're a mature category. Scooters are much cheaper of

I'm taking saxenda, which requires a daily injection and it's totally fine. It takes like 2 minutes. The needle is tiny and most of the time you barely feel it.

Why wouldn't it? At $1300 a month, this is going to be a massive business for these companies. I read a statement from Novo Nordisk to their investors where they said they simply underestimated demand for the drugs. They expected a slo

This incentivizes storage and time-shifting usage to solar peak times, which seem to be needed in California. Does anyone know if there are pricing signals to help with that? For example, if I (as a power-plant operator or whatever) found a

Theoretically, you could add a third type of charge related to the externalities associated with your consumption. I'm not sure exactly how the accounting would work, but maybe an escalating fee based on the amount you consume. My util

The point of crypto for the vast majority of people is to not be the one left holding the bag. It's just a ponzi scheme that's open for anyone to participate in.

In what sense is the Model 3 seeming dated? It's still one of the best electric cars on important measures like range and efficiency. It also has access to hands down the best charging network and is well loved by its owners, despite t

I really disagree with this idea, we shouldn't normalize every workplace being full of back-stabbers and retaliatory jerk managers. Nor is horrible red tape a given, although some bureaucracy is of course required. None of this has bee

The part about not doing too much research really resonates with me. There's a lot of bad, vague or conflicting information out there, and plants are to varying extents resilient and adaptable. That being said, I went with the opposi

In the article, it says the it's a full-scale prototype. Still agree the title is overstating it, especially since they explicitly say the design cannot be used for an airliner.

It's very strange to read this comment on article about USB, which has been developed by committee from the beginning. To me it seems quite innovative, and arguably disruptive to have a single standard for all these things. Maybe USB d

This article is about autopilot phantom braking, not AEB. I've never had AEB trigger, or heard of it triggering when it shouldn't, but maybe I'm unaware.

What behavior are you referring to? We are talking about autopilot, and possibly FSD, neither of which are engaged by default (obviously!) What do you mean they can't be turned off? > When this "feature" triggers you have

To be fair, many people had pointed out that unless we vaccinate the entire world, new variants would emerge, which may be better at evading the vaccine. That is exactly what happened with Omicron.

I'm very skeptical of this thesis. Biden's mandate (I'm assuming this is what you're referring to) was not announced until September of last year, and there was already very significant vaccine refusal by that point. Up

Are there any safety or other technical issues with a setup like this? I am comfortable with small-scale solar setups because I've built one for a van, but I had no idea you could build a simple grid tied system like this. Is the inver

I love this map, and plan to start using it to plan timing for photography projects. I hate wandering into a valley for golden hour only to find that sun has already set!
