I wonder if the card companies themselves would be happy with those rules. I don't think it's a grand conspiracy. I think they are just looking at the business and realizing that the amount of money to be made from it…
It's also very weird that the same type of people who normally talk about corporations/governments covering up pollutants do not talk about how many people could die from a potential lab leak.
This article seems like a real stretch. For their first example picked the absolute lightest ICE car (3000 pounds) and the heaviest electric car (an electric hummer). The Ford F-150 electric looks only about 33% heavier…
Gas prices have fluctuated wildly since 2020. This has had nothing to do with the number of people who own ICE vehicles. Even if you assumed it was tightly correlated, then the second prices dropped you'd expect more…
I disagree. By this standard the government should not even be building highways (they are subsidies to the technology of the automobile, after all) The government built/supported plenty of the infrastructure that…
I relate to that. I have some personal side projects that I enjoy though I worry they may not be sustainable if I start to have a family. Before this job I very much had a job I had complete ownership over and really…
I have been building a lot of cool stuff the last couple years in the hardware space. I think in my mind I thought I'd been able to spin it off as a side project? But so far its the type of things I post online and…
Ultimately that's close to what I'm doing! Not jumping ship until something finds my way that is definitely better. I think I "want to be fired" because it would take some of the stress of the decision away from me. My…
I probably should. I think it has been hard for me to find one that is part-time and worthwhile. I taught myself circuit design/CAD/3d modeling over the last couple years since I've been doing some amateur product…
That is sorta how I hope it gets resolved. I do think I'm a quick learner, still. My job sounds extremely impressive on paper though when it comes to nuts and bolts I feel like I have atrophied for several years.
I do feel like my skills have atrophied. I've def taught myself some skillsets over the years - I love to learn - but mostly things that seem fun/interesting/challenging and not things that would transfer into a similar…
Thank you. This is why I have not quit but why I responded to this thread of being "fired". I feel like it would make the decision for me and be a relief and work out in the long term. Just no time in the short term has…
I more or less have a no show job. I am a programmer but for a private company whose business is entertainment. About 5 years ago I came up with something that traceably earned the owner millions. The owner/CEO loves me…
This is why it's done but still sorta of strange to me that this was the way I was taught by camp instructors - even though we never were going for speed. Feels a bit like learning how to ride a bike with one of those…
For this particular example (housing) I agree that median isn't that informative. It doesn't cover the range of prices available and a theoretical city with a high median, but a glut of housing available cheaply, would…
That sounds extremely slow but presumably now that they've built one the cost to build 100 or 1000 would be achievable if someone (or some government) had the interest. I would think they would need a version that…
I'm not going to pretend to be an expert but it seems like the hard/expensive part is probably building the underwater drone capable of taking the LIDAR? I would imagine at some point getting overhead satellite imagery…
I first started using Reddit around 2009 when I was in college and use it more today. I browse old.reddit.com because I think that text feel is better. I think it probably depends on your subreddit or area of interest?…
The student who enters the classroom has an IQ that follows the same distribution of intelligence of any of the other students. Therefore, one student out of the 145 must have the highest intelligence and the chances…
Perhaps you are misunderstanding the records it is describing. A record in that data is defined as a particular high in a particular city on a particular day. The data goes back 145 years in Los Angeles. So if it is the…
The planet clearly is warming but I also agree this method is useless by itself. For Los Angeles (my city) the data goes back 145 days a year. If temperature has not been increasing (and therefore each individual day…
I do hope this turns out to be workable and scalable fast. Thinking of RVs reminds me of the cruise ship I was just on. I actually liked the cruise much more than I had guessed but even the premium service was terrible.…
fwiw I do not really see how problem solving intelligence correlates to consciousness. I think it is a bit of a stretch to think we only evolved consciousness to guess how other people will react. I don't think our…
Agree. Especially if you change the wording a bit. I do think something like Brexit is fine for a referendum. It's a singular issue and clearly very important. In California we have referendums for weird tax issues that…
