Why would old people vote for other old _people_? I understand they’d want to get ideas favorable to them to be applied, but that may as well come from any _not old_ person.

And to continue with the analogy, he neither replaces the coach, nor the actual team players. He just sits on the bench, paid for his - additional - role. Exactly the contrary of the Coinbase manager-IC, which is supposed to replace 2 jobs

Tl;dr: 89 fresh cadavers used since 2017 (cost ~860k$) for “hands-on training on non-perfused and perfused cadaver bodies” to simulate battlefield injuries. Seems like “noble” (?) life-saving trainings to me. I personally wouldn’t oppose to

I’m super interested in this topic of “how to keep a community alive”, (1) introducing new blood - with the risk mentioned above - at a regular pace, and (2) keeping existing members as alive/active/connected as possible. Would an

French here, working/living in France, and not aware of any state-backed “shorter work week” test. According to my research, only SME applied it so far (with 2 exceptions of 1000 and 11k-employees). And no particular consensus on the r

Assuming that framework is true - which I’m not challenging at all -, why would you need to _fire_ the builders, instead of pivoting them to new greenfields projects - as I assume Tesla has many. Unless your CEO isn’t a maintainer/opti

Based on my experience (electric motorbike), the regenerative breaks are super strong indeed. You can tweak their « force », but usually, the strongest level is the most comfortable - that you eventually keep all day long. It will cause you

I don’t think those company goals should be looked at face value. What is interesting to watch is the dynamics (what was there last year and isn’t there anymore), read between the lines (what is not mentioned as a goal) and the ordering (w

Discovered SomaFM thanks to HN and in love with the SF 10-33 (SF police scanner mixed with ambient). For those of you loving the “deeply-focused and manually curated music channel” vibe, I can only recommend to check out Digitally Imported

Had usually some issues with (metallic) screws or other minor pieces after 1-2 years. Will take a look at ceramic grinders in the future.

I’ve never found a salt grinder able to sustain the salt corrosion in the long run. Sooner or later, salt is aggregating and turning even the more resistant parts into rust. I was recently planning to get back to a regular pestle/morta

The floppy disk doesn’t mean a thing to younger generations, yet their icon representation is very common in a lot of UIs (save button). So this point doesn’t make sense to me in this particular discussion - even though you may be right at

I’d say it boils down to the following: - humans can be selfish, or not - humans are powering businesses and gouvernement bodies controlling them, so both can think long-term, global benefits or short term, own-benefits - hence the need for

While there definitively _are_ similarities, this example (as far as I’m concerned) is a perfect illustration of a line that shouldn’t be crossed, and that Medium - as opposed to YT - unfortunately did cross. I’m personally trying to avoid

Your point (first sentence) is totally valid - thanks for sharing it! -, but you then make it polarizing by getting emotional (« bribe », « desperate »), hence the down-voting, I guess.

Not all motorways are made equal, and that may play a role as well. I frequently drive over French, Italian, German motorways and can say the quality and maintenance of the road vary greatly between European countries. Eventually, I see so

I’d second that and can relate as I’d have loved to pay Medium for an enterprise global account that would’ve allowed selected, smart engineers from my current company to post blogs that would escape the Medium paywall. Looks like to me th
