Virtue signaling, culture that celebrates positivity-at-all-cost, and worshipping of executive leadership through emulation. That's why that "i got pip'ed at Amazon" was such a breath of fresh air. By far the best thing

It's Jack Welsh playbook and it's stupid. I remember reading an interview with a head of company long time and he said something to the effect of "In any given company, top 20% of the workers push the company forward. middle

I don't think it will result in jail time for anyone, unless there is gross negligence and/or reckless disregard for safety by those who worked on it. Even so, due to benefit associated with autonomous vehicles, unless court can

We would need to re-think resource allocation. Fewer deaths means smaller healthcare expenditure. Disability claims. Improved road infrastructure doesn't need to be that expensive.

"How can Tesla claim self driving if the car can’t read a sign that says - speed limit 25 mph during school hours, and properly adjust?" Self driving will always be dangerous unless overall traffic infrastructure is updated. Can y

I think it is just difficult enough for people not feel frustrated by it, yet easy enough to have wins on regular basis. The fact that there is only one word per day is big part of its appeal too. It's almost like being back in an ar

Mercedes 'had' this. But their newer models are going in wrong direction.

I agree. I'm really struggling how the latest Podcast app is an improvement over the last one. Last few 'upgrades' to their Podcast have been horrible. Apple gets a lot of pass on a lot of stuff, but their UI is pretty terr

Agreed. That one seems like an afterthought. Thankfully, the issue has been fixed in w206.

Yeah I think for the car's owner, it's not a bad placement. IMHO, it would better if it were also readily visible to occasional passenger. Mercedes did eventually fix the issue in the most recent model w223 https://car

What kind of truck do you currently have? What's your thought on F150 lighting, Rivian, and Cyber truck?

I thought old Mercedes w221 took the cake for the worst place to put hazard light switch. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e0/14/c2/e014c2545b5af19946c9... But model 3 takes the cake.

I tend to agree with you having worked with IBM's global consulting services and their workforce in both India and Brazil many moons ago. While in theory, it may sound like you could have around the clock hands-on-keyboard time by havi

And Tesla didn't help you by making too subtle. https://i.insider.com/5a861ac9d0307228108b466c?width=600&for... Compared this to Hyundai cars, who I don't think gets enough credit for their ergonomics. https

I agree, that's a very intuitive interior layout. Within a minute, I've figured out the entire car, including steering controls. Thanks for sharing!

I love the design, but I personally find it less intuitive than conventional hvac controls like this, because Audi had to squeeze things into 3 circular LCDs. https://www.mazda3revolution.com/cdn-cgi/image/format=a

I'm sure the decision was "data driven" based on real life usage. It's a bit disturbing they're able to make such drastic level of changes without heads up. Can you imagine, taking your Honda Accord in for an oil ch

Ah... brings back so much memory. I majored in lithography. Larger stones were quite expensive back then ($2k). There's something very calming about the lithography. Most videos don't show all the tedious steps that go into lith

I can't count the number of people who left my current workplace (stable, one of the largest healthcare companies) to go join Amazon in past 2 years. They're hiring like crazy. Makes me wonder where the people who quit Amazon are

$90k/year he/she is getting paid is so little money to a law firm that they wouldn't care anyway if they found out.

Try a plugin called "Clickbait Remover for youtube". Your thumbnail will be replaced by freeze frame from video. I love it. And you can turn it off/on easily.

I almost feel it should be written out of the spec, because a lot of people still don't understand it, designers and developers. And design tools like Sketch or Figma will never implement it in their tools.
