Maybe! I get quite a lot of Ubers here in Vancouver and they are almost exclusively Tesla. I don’t known if the “3d view” that is displayed on the screen in the dashboard is used by FSD or not; but if it is there is no way that could be saf

I just visited San Francisco for a few days (first time!) and it was absolutely amazing seeing all of these cars driving around everywhere. I also thought the driverless car companies had stalled (bad pun); but that is obviously not the cas

I have also noticed that the biggest proponents in my organisation are those that don’t code or code very little! Personally, as I have used the product more I have found it more useful especially with boilerplate type of code - especially

It is not "particularly easy" to build housing in the UK. The governing party (Conservative Party) lost a seat it had held for decades (since it was created) in a by-election because Boris Johnson (then PM) wanted to change planni

Same with WhatsApp. It would be impossible for me to have a social life without WhatsApp. It covers so many groups. I managed to get some groups of technical friends to move to other products but I don't think that would be possible wi

I want to add some extra data for other people. The UK has an aging population. Old people need more healthcare spending. If we adjust the data for age and demographic changes, then we can see spending was reduced between 2010 and 2021. ht

How do you find the opportunities if you didn't mind me asking? Also, do you ever meet your colleagues in person?

This is true, I moved from the UK (London) to Canada and receive a higher wage. AND in the UK I was working as a contractor which is a way of avoiding a lot of tax. What I would like to know is what can Canada do, tangibly, to increase wage

I have noticed the same thing as the person you're replying to. I think the reason is there are a lot of tech / tech-adjacent workers on Reddit and they know people less than 100 miles away (in the USA) are doing the same job as t

Wow, a similar thing happened to me in one of my first jobs as a junior. We moved office and could choose our seats. Because I hate having people behind me (mentioned above) I chose a seat with my back to the wall. The managers clicked on t

I would love a private office. It wouldn't need to be very big - and it wouldn't even need a door. Just a door frame without a door on it would be fine. I guess it's not even private in that sense, I just don't like peop
