I was responding to someone asking how they're different than any other tech company. They're known for underpaying and overworking people. That's how they're different than most others. The implication being that if Twi

He compensates below market and his employees are expected to work harder than big tech companies. He can get away with it at SpaceX because, well, spaaacccceeee! I'm not sure how he gets away with it at Tesla.

Most people I know who regularly bike in SF (for commuting at least), have been hit by a car in some capacity. I have no idea why parents use those bike with the kids in the back. Why not just use a car? It's not even like those bikes

> Seems like a pretty good incentive to focus on actual improvement and not just now to get a better grade. Well that's great, but it doesn't help me when I also require the good grade, because the system still works around GPA

You're missing one key point that I meant to touch on in the original post: This professor is still living in the bad system you describe . They just pretend it doesn't exist until the very end. If they were some private school t

In the US, your final average grade typically (though not always) follows you for your first 1-2 jobs, at least. So it's quite important. The objective is a high grade, and learning the material is second, due to the system. And to be

This is an absolutely ridiculous concept to me, and I'm surprised so many people are taking a positive stance on this article. Grades allow for tracking progress across many different classes, so that you know for sure where you should

Free climbing is dangerous enough to be in that list, IMO. Lots of things can go wrong even with ropes.

I mean it's the same as fashion for me. I could wear poorly fitting clothes and poorly matched items of clothing, but I don't. I care about how I look and present myself. That's not exactly unique, and it doesn't have to

I don't think I could ever get over the look of the small wheels. It seems like the fanny pack of bikes: pretty useful but you gotta look dorky if you want to use it. It's vain but I'd find it hard to believe I'm alone h

Because it was a comment written without having any context into how NYT handles their games. They assume something about massive monetization that would happen in the future, when the daily wordle will likely remain free forever, just like

You want truth? The truth is that having every employer who has been using the 9-5 or 8-5 schedule change to some flexible system is never, ever happening.

I don't see the raw numbers, but the chart seems to indicate Americans waking up slightly before 7, maybe 6:50am? Not too far off from the source I found of 7:09am, and is still approximately 2 hours after you wake up. And congrats at

The jobs I've worked outside we started the day in the dark often times (construction, landscaping). What jobs have you worked that required perfect natural lighting the entire time? I'm assuming it's a decent minority of job

You wake up 2 hours earlier than the average American (which apparently is about 7:09am). Things aren't and shouldn't be optimized for your abnormal sleep pattern. > If a kid has to suffer through getting up on 5 hours sleep th

I don't understand. If I'm at work, why would I care if it's light out or not? I'm not using that light for anything useful.

It sucks more not being able to do any outdoor physical activity after work for much of the year.

Early risers can just... turn on the lights. You can't just "turn on the lights" for outdoor activities except in very specific cases. Those activities can't really be done in the morning because people have to get ready

Light in the evening is massively more useful than light in the morning. Sports, hobbies, anything involving the outdoors. It's not really useful to have that hour in the morning when you're just getting ready for school/work

That article doesn't say why it was a bad idea. Are we really rejecting this because it'll be dark at 7:35am? Sorry, but that's not even close to a compelling reason not to do this.
