Yes, he was giving yet another reason no one wants to do that particular job.

I was given another.

So, it's a shitty job because people yell at you for <=$100K (his reason) and also you could be making $500+k elsewhere (my reason).

> It isn't clear what losing a kid has to do with qualified officials approving a failed Alzheimer drug

Your basic complaint is that those particular government workers were either corrupt or incompetent. I don't disagree with that assessment.

But if you can't understand why people take industry jobs for $500K instead of government jobs for $100K, especially when the government job additionally requires "telling someone in a position of serious power who is going to loose his kid next year to back off", then I'm not really sure what to say.

And if you can't understand how "the job is shit and doesn't pay well" has downstream effects like incompetence and corruption, then, well, I'm not really sure what to say.

Most problems with failed governance in the USA basically boil down to "Want competence and ethics? Pay market rates & don't fucking outsource." See also: the Obamacare website debacle.

In TFA, the Tesla is rendered inoperable. An IOS AltStore doesn’t contain much other than ROMs. Even if it contains more, no one apparently can browse the altstore app lists until they go through the effort of installing it —- so no one cares. Also HN has tons of Tesla fanboys.

I started woodworking as hobby a few years ago, and used some epoxy here and there to fill voids in wood. But after having epoxy on hand all the time, I realized just how absurdly useful it is for fixing little things around the house. Our microwave handle barb broke off. Epoxy it back on. Dropped a potted plant and the pot broke. Epoxy it back together. Etc.

> Get a useful stacktrace that's not just lines of framework wrapper garbage and then an elipses.

This is the biggest pet peeve of mine. Over the years I've spent too much time ensuring I can get a stack trace *WITH* line numbers. A stack trace without line numbers makes support much more difficult.

For .NET why I need to generate and include .PDB files just to get line numbers I dunno. I've never ever used a .PDB for anything but stack trace line numbers. I'd bet that I'm not alone in this. Why the runtime could include them in the DLL (ok driven by a switch) I don't know.

And for JS those .MAP files can turn out to be larger than the original source files. Which is a bit mind boggling. And don't get me started on .ts -> js -> bundled to get the map files right. And the JS client libraries to handle unexpected exception capture and logging. And the server side parsing of the client side error and map files to get back to an original error line number in a .TS file.

It's downright shameful that the most assistance a runtime can provide is a stack trace without line numbers.

Eh, that depends. Typically car depreciation is not linear. Depreciation is higher in the initial years and the % depreciation reduces each year. Buying a car, keeping it for 5 years and selling it off might be cheaper than leasing a new one every 3 years.

Even simple highway-mapping that GM/Ford does would've caught this. Every few months they send a LIDAR-equipped van to pre-map highways and common roads and send out OTA updates for their Level2 driving systems. Sounds low-tech but GM/Ford cars aren't driving into concrete posts.

I would agree, as long as that third party has insurance in the event their fix (due to work performed on the high voltage battery pack) causes a failure resulting in the loss of the vehicle and liability from that failure event.

In this specific case, I hope Mr. Benoit or his garage has robust liability coverage (at least $1M, hopefully more), especially if a failure event happens while the vehicle is fast DC charging or charging in someone's home overnight.

The fact that you just reposted your above comment without any change despite knowing it was wrong and despite being called out on that. That seems like a strong point in favor of the opposite of whatever your position is.
You have to know that repair is safe and meets all the coolant system design constraints. It certainly isn’t something most shops are going to just have a standard procedure for. That was what caused the problem in the first place.

MQTT is very good for this. I had a hairball of a raspberry pi setup driving a distillation process. I bought a ten pack of NodeMCUs (esp8266 but same basically) and moved all of the hardware off of the pi and distributed it across 4-5 of the little dudes. All comms were MQTT over WiFi and it worked great. (NodeRED was fantastic driving all of that, and i used Tasmota on the NodeMCUs, theres an ESP32 build for that.)

> and the whole package actually solves a problem

The problem of having to carry one less item from the supermarket?

Soda stream is kinda the same, a machine which produce a easily available product directly in you home. But the soda cartridge doesn't expire after a week and can produce alot of fresh soda. So you save alot carrying and it's easy to always have soda since an extra cartridge takes little space. In addition it offer you a choice of how "strong" soda you want.

The only advantage of the juice packs is that they presumable ship it to your door. But it seems very strange if the packs actually are any fresher than presqueezed juice shipped in a regular container (which would've been more convenient). And from the few pictures I saw no water was added to the juice so no volume/weight is saved.

Keurig seems to be coffee capsules which arguable does solve a problem/brings convenience.
I love to press enter a few times to add a few empty lines to serve as a marker. Plus, I set my terminal scrollback buffer to 10000 lines (not a problem nowadays), so cmd-F in the terminal works pretty well.

>I take great issue with you saying 'they claim to starve themselves'.

I'm being pretty overt that when people make that claim they are often being dishonest. They know they are eating too much. There are psychological issues underlying this, but if someone tells you how little they eat yet they're gaining weight, they're likely lying.

> And, despite your claim, there are also demonstrable differences in the base metabolic rate between people.

Nowhere did I contest this. Men have more muscle mass than women and are generally larger. But between people otherwise equal, claims about varying metabolisms are largely bullshit. It is magnitudes less of an influence than it is held as.

I've been cited as a "fast metabolism" examples many times in my life. I skip meals constantly, can manage to go through a movie without eating a bucket of butter-soaked popcorn and a jug of coke, etc. I eschew all of those things. Then there's a bbq and I eat two burgers and the upper BMI people all gather around to tell the tale about how easy it is for me, what with my "fast metabolism". It's horseshit. It's destructive, self-enabling nonsense.

Another guy mentioned that when his belt size starts getting tight he knows it's time to cut back. Precisely my tactic. There have been a few times where suddenly slacks are a little tight and it isn't a signal that I need to buy new clothes or go to the next rung, but instead means it's time that I skip the occasional snack.

After promising animal research, physician researchers connected with Yale University and the University of Chicago tried injecting sulfur mustard and its somewhat milder relatives, the nitrogen mustards, into the veins of cancer patients in the early 1940s. This was the first time a systemic treatment was given for cancer. “It would upset the whole body,” says Smith. “That proved to be valuable when you deal with certain kinds of leukemia or lymphoma.”

Aaah Insurance strikes again. Insurance is a scam that somehow as a society we have allowed to normalize in our society. The Insurance system just doesn't make sense, that's why we see so many problems with car, health, death and other types of insurance.

The problem lies in that both parties have misaligned and often oposite objectives: The Insurer's main goal is to maximize their profit, and the levers it has is to avoid paying the insured as much as possible. That's why we have so many denied payments and abuse in the case of health insurance.

Moreover, given that every insurance claim is a single case for the Insurer, they have the upper hand and oftentimes there is no recourse for the insured to really fight an unjust insurance denial.

We must find an alternative for this terrible system...

It obviously is not user-friendly when you deprecate folders in favor of tags. That’s the thing which only a software developers mind could dream into reality. When they invent nested labels, it should scream “man that’s folder, folder, damned folder”. But it doesn’t.

Everything is a tag, why not right? They already have: everything is a list, everything is a file, everything is an object, everything is a process. How much “everything is a” failures they need before realizing that these ideas were… obsessions I guess?

Tags are good for tagging, folders are good for hierarchical sorting, colors are good for emphasizing. What’s wrong with having all of them?
