Must say I don't understand the nature of problems discussed. Of course palm trees, coconuts, pineapples became symbols of vacation in warm, relaxing tropical paradise, no matter if such place exists at all or if flamingos live there.

Everyone can request a vacation, but first a traditional bzzzzzt

Maybe it's not entirely bad that employees are subjected to effects of their products this way. Police officers should also be tased as a part of weapon training, just to understand how the device works

Musk aside, there's a strong incentive to withhold information that would be self-incriminating for Tesla (or any other company in such situation). Similar situation with accidents - wouldn't the information mysteriously disappear

by lafar6503 3y ago
NHTS is asking Tesla to dutifully report all cases when illegal function was enabled, or FSD failed, or if car systems misbehaving could contribute to a crash. But can they trust Tesla to provide accurate data? Same with accident investigat

Oh come on, pay for use is a solved problem. Look at gas pumps. But if it's not feasible to have a big DC converter in every car then no luck

Electricity meters have been known for decades, even with payment terminals.after all, they were invented to bill customers for electricity used. And I can see authors point - if you look at Tesla chargers, it's not only the stalls but

I don't mind paying for tools I'm using to get the job done. But ignorant remarks in the tone of 'drop the crap you're using, no matter what it is, and install Linux' were maybe good 30 years ago, now it's just

But what to do if you really love what you do and can achieve really good results in your work, better than anyone else? It's a source of pride and recognition, no wonder it becomes part of your identity. Now imagine working out instea

Beware, the rustification has broken thru .net defenses :) Not sure if I ever find use for Rust in .net runtime (C# has more or less same capabilities), but congrats anyway. However I'd gladly welcome some lightweight compiled language

Astonishing that after more than 30 years of coexistence of Linux and Windows OSes such arrogant remarks are still being made

It's bad news that there are no tools to detect cheating, such situation can encourage dishonest players to cheat and nobody will take seriously accusations about cheating from other players.

I've been using Dell laptops exclusively for many years, but the last purchase was Lenovo Thinkbook 16inch with decent Ryzen. I just liked the specs. The machine works pretty well (Windows) but has some issues I never had with Dell, fo

Let them innovate where they provide value - in the bike mechanics and drivetrain. But all their batteries are basically the same, built with same li-ion cells from same group of producers. The only innovation here is a proprietary chip mak

by lafar6503 3y ago
Yep working with big li-ion batteries is dangerous and should be done with proper equipment and safety measures, but claiming that nobody can do that but the producer is BS. They just make sure nothing else is compatible so you have no alte

by lafar6503 3y ago
It's not about repairing the battery by amateurs/diy enthusiasts, but the ability to replace the battery with another, compatible. It's not that hard to make sure that new battery meets the required parameters and has compati

by lafar6503 3y ago
Many producers put a great effort into making sure you can only use their battery for replacement, even if it's obvious that any battery with correct voltage would do. Batteries should be interchangeable just like in cars- nobody sane

In some cases having a formalized process/methodology helps to appear professional and hide the fact that nobody knows exactly what they're doing. I've seen it it some place - very serious software dev company delivering very

But what to do when instead of 6 competent and efficient devs you get 40 people with random mix of skills, no domain knowledge and at moderate programming talent? I dont know Scrum to comment on it, but many management methods converge to

Work is a voluntary contract for both sides and the terms are agreed before signing it, not dictated afterwards . And the standard so far was that the work is done at location specified by the employer. So it's not something that'

I don't know where you take such knowledge from, is there any scientific paper on psychology and social behavior of employer class? I think most people are reasonable and rational in their expectations, and the unfortunate employers wh

I think once a privilege has been given (to employees) it's impossible to take it away without a fight. Suddenly something that was a non-issue became a life or death matter. So you're right, now people would expect to be paid ext

Yep the extra flexibility is very helpful and convenient, but with years passing it becomes the norm. And kids needs increase with age, not decrease. So at some point you may realize that there's no more flexibility, you have been stre

I just mean don't take the remote work idea too far. Raising children is affecting the ability to do any professional work and because of that people deciding to have children should receive various forms of support and protection by s

Ok I understand that someone has proven that remote work doesn't affect productivity. Not in my case, but maybe I'm the outlier. But remote work combined with having small children - I'm pretty sure it not only affects produc

by lafar6503 3y ago
I partially agree with the author. It's better if your work includes some hardware too and is not limited to software only. Just much harder for the competition to replicate the product. But the examples he gave are all big, ambitious

I have automatic high/low beams function and it works pretty well, sees other cars from far away and switches to low earlier than a human would. The problem is I very rarely use high beams, and never on highways, so it was even strange
