Tell that to the hundreds of people that die in ice car vehicle fires every year. It's not a minor risk if hundreds of people die. Versus almost none in EV related fires.

The reality is that people die every day in ice vehicle fires (petrol and diesel). It's not a hypothetical thing where you get to chin stroke and muse about the risks of petrol or diesel catching fire. It's happening. Every day. It's one of the most common reasons the fire trucks have to go somewhere actually.

A combustion engine is a wonderful thing where things get compressed, heated, etc. intentionally in order to combust the fuel. Diesel has a higher ignition temperature. That's all. The famous let's throw a match into the fuel works less well and is indeed a nice party trick. But it burns just fine once it gets going. Happens all the time. Just google for truck and bus fires.

The reality with EV fires is that:

1) they are rare compared to ice car vehicle fires (it's not even close; think orders of magnitude)

2) they burn quite slowly instead of explosively.

3) most of the incidents don't involve casualties and mainly involve property damage instead
The employer is the one taking that extra value, so why wouldn’t the “you already have enough money” argument cut both ways? I also assume management is wealthier than the previous year.
> if fortune 500 CEO pay is up less than 11% on avg since 2020

Yeah well, in reality it's up considerably more. They didn't get to be the 0.1% by accepting sub-inflation pay raises for the last 100+ years. Here is what their actual raises were:

19% in 2021, 16% in 2020, ~14% in 2019 & 2018. Sources below.

Meanwhile that's what average hourly wages increased by:

4.7% in 2021, 1.8% in 2020

https://fortune.com/2021/05/28/ceo-pay-increase-2020-pay-gap...

If you want to make your argument, show a profession which has ACTUALLY been getting sub-inflation raises for a decade or more, but you still consider to be overpaid. It's no coincidence that such combination doesn't exist.
What a title. Americans are so, so lucky, and don't even recognise their privilege.
Honestly I’m relieved I’d need to get into the hundred+ TB area before I get the sales call. I’d have expected it to be a much lower number.

How are you chucking that much data while still being concerned about cheap? I can’t really suggest anything useful technologically without knowing what the data is

Don’t knee jerk change supplier because you’re annoyed haha, you’re unlikely to get cheaper and kinda likely to get less reliable - that’s on you to justify later to the person asking why your 300TB/mo pipeline broke, not something I’d want to explain without having thought through the initial reaction properly!

At least discuss it with someone first, who knows maybe 3 grand a month isn’t that big an expense considering it’s probably something the company needs to operate. Having a “top level” executive layer implies much more budget elsewhere, it can’t be that big an expense. Maybe they can get rid of a lower level exec to pay for it. Or maybe you don’t need all of the outgoing data. Can’t really guess anything without knowing the situation better

Operating in an annoyed bubble is almost guaranteed to be way more stress down the road though in any case, get a fresh mind on it
Yep, I agree that this is a problem with the current iteration of the site. We need to do a better job of differentiating between seniority for positions. Taking the time to provide this feedback :)
I use bunny.net for my personal websites. I'm largely quite happy with it; it's definitely a great budget option and is very easy to set up.

That being said, it's definitely a budget option. Their admin dashboard, features, PoP count, advanced functionality, etc. is certainly a cut below that of Cloudflare. No HTTP3 support, no brotli compression, stuff like that as well.

Also, they had a configuration issue last night where the certificate for all of y sites was expired for ~3 hours. They fixed it and to be clear it's never happened before, but yeah that kind of thing is probably not going to happen with Cloudflare.

I've heard about this concept often but this time reading it, I think I finally found out why it's not working for me..
Where's the fourth bucket? Where's the me bucket?

Maybe not everyone is like that, but, even though I enjoy, and find meaning in both career, exercise and family+friends, it all drains me, it exhausts me, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally, and the only time I can recharge is during long unstructured stretches of time alone without external responsibilities.

Do people not generally need the fourth bucket or what?
The question “what is my ideal job?” doesn’t always have to have the same answer. We learn. We react. We have new experiences, which become routine, then we seek novelty again. Or, convince ourselves that it’s a really good deal and stick around.

Relationships are different though. I see work as primarily transactional, whereas personal relationships work best when they aren’t. In a friendship it’s common for both people to grow in the same direction, while a company is inflexible and doesn’t respond to your individual growth so it’s more likely that you’ll “grow apart.”

As someone from outside the US I agree that the "left" in the US are mostly just corporate stooges with empty promises. I think progressive causes are mostly a distraction and don't really help most people that would need state support the most.

But subjecting yourself to the left - right dichotomy is disabling to yourself for the most part.

Gay marriage is a point, although on a state level that is pretty much a tax adjustment today. There were no real other demands. Perhaps gender neutral passports, but honestly that isn't really a foundation for policy crafting. Which demands did #metoo have and which were realized? Same with the question for the movements against racism? There is no result because there are no demands. Or at least I didn't hear any.

There are women in low wage jobs that could use support. How is #metoo helping them. How is removing police helping regions with crime problems. Ending prosecution of drug users was on the plan since decades and is sensible in contrast to recent demands.

I agree, like it or hate it, Github is where code lives. They own the platform developers flock to. That is a very big advantage. If the product is even remotely comparable Replit is in for a rough time.

Work-wise, I have pretty much unlimited schedule flexibility. I have a lot of seniority, and people needlessly fear me for my reputation. My immediate manager is someone younger than me that I helped hire, and he's in the gym probably 4x a week. I went in with him a couple weeks ago and he absolutely wrecked my shoulders in a good way. The problem is that his gym is half an hour away. I can't fix that without moving, and I own a house and have a family. My local gym is a joke, and isn't staffed. I bought an exercise bike a couple years ago, and have maybe ridden it once a month on average. I've owned free weights for years, but the last time I touched them was four months ago when I crushed my fingernail bad enough to go to urgent care. I wasn't even working out, I was moving them back into storage...

I think I am justified it blaming myself for lack of self-discipline. I lost about 8lb since November by calorie counting, due to having elevated liver enzymes. I've gained about half of it back since my enzymes went back to normal though, because it lost its relative importance. My best guess it was due to a medication rather than my weight, and I changed medication. I have a serious and rare medical condition, and the medication I'm taking is probably going to give me cancer in a few decades, so if I'm going to motivate myself to do something it's playing with my daughter or a hobby. If I obsessively worked out, maybe I wouldn't even have the medical condition, but that doesn't seem to be something I'm capable of right now.

10 years ago I got really depressed at work and started working out 3x a week with Herbalife "health coaches". I ached and was hungry all the time and it was great. I was 40lb lighter than I am now, and could do 100 pull-ups. I know I'm still physically capable of doing that, yet it also seems impossible. Laying on the couch reading hacker news seems more important most of the time.

So someone sells 100k BTC with no price impact, then causes the whole kerfuffle with UST to impact the price of BTC, which slips 30% in the face of the UST people selling like 10k BTC, then manages to buy 100k BTC to cover, again with no trace or price impact?

You don't need to distinguish KI (the kite) from KI (the kestrel followed by the idiot bird), because they evaluate to the same thing. Kite xy is y, and if you evaluate Kestrel Idiot xy, you get:

KIxy -> Iy -> y

Similarly, because true is defined as K, and false as KI, if you evaluate Mxy where x and y are K or KI, and keep evaluating, you'll eventually end up with either K or KI, depending on whether (x or y) is true or false. I agree, though, that is confusing that the post didn't explain any of this; I assume it's not finished yet.
I believe you're seeing things through a US lens there. Many of these small Mittelstand companies are incredibly durable because they don't have high loans and they don't have investors.

Also, the idea here is not that it's a great investment (although it usually is), but that it transfers power to experienced employees. Imagine if you and your coworkers owned enough company shares so that you could veto the CEO together.
>pricing in the present and future value

Are you pricing in value, or pricing in a specific amount of dollars? Because if you're actually pricing in value, then even though the value stays constant, the dollar amount of the value goes up with inflation.

I agree with your point that regular employees should be expected to get more raises than CEOs, because regular employees can improve more. This doesn't really relate to inflation though, except to the extent they are both factors that lead to raises.
Proper pe-planning wasn’t really an option in my case, as I didn’t know how far I could get each day before I did it and therefore booked hotels and B&Bs about 3 hours before I reached them.

>proportionally more than people earning more than me

US tax is highly progressive with high earners often losing over 50% of their income to taxes. Even though payroll taxes (which is what I suspect you are referring to) start from $0—they are only 7.65%.

How is that "proportionally more than people earning more than me"?

If your answer is capital gains and dividends—that is precisely what this post tries to address. There simply aren't enough people rich enough who pay less proportionally to make a big dent. If you want to spite them, then go after them. But it's not a way to actually make things more "fair".

To your point, though. If a big wealth tax on billionaires is barely a drop on the bucket, the payroll taxes on very low earners are barely an iota. This is probably a tax cut you can give that would seriously help people out without draining the federal bankroll. I wonder why this hasn't been done.

I’ve abandoned streaming because you never own the music and they remove artists and albums or don’t carry some versions that I like.

Then what you want is CCS chargers with all brands of EV being able to charge at all brands of charger. Europe's leading the way on this. Most EVs use CCS in Europe (even Tesla).

Tesla is yet to switch to CCS in North America. Maybe they will soon.

It's really hard to compare because of how rates doubled in a period of 2 months.

A person making 200k at 8x is buying a house worth 1.6 million dollars.

Assuming a 320k down payment(ha), 20k in taxes, and 5k in insurance, the monthly payment comes out to over 9000 a month. I don't think anyone in CA at 200k is taking home that much monthly, but maybe my math is off.

I think 2.5x is also probably not the norm, but I'm extremely conservative with money and what I went with.

4 or 5 I can believe, but in today's market with today's rates, I can't see how 8x is even possible.
I said it teaches about science.

One interesting point an increased reluctance for Interconnects:

“Each state government now accepts this and is rapidly moving to decarbonise its supply, which is leading to a new problem. The states that get there quickly are less keen on sharing their cheaper power than they used to be.

Why would SA want to strengthen its interconnection to NSW, only to have its electricity prices dragged up to those of NSW by trade along that wire?”

I have read that Norway is experiencing this, that with all the interconnects it has with other countries the price of their power has gone up, five times as well.

Although Norway is having lower rainfall and I’d imagine trying to reduce hydropower generation. Maybe they need to start doing a raindance?

Not arguing one way or another. But an alternate hypothesis would be this skill gap has closed.

Education might be better. Or tooling may have improved such that the tangible benefit of experience has, for most current applications, depreciated. Assuming the reduced innovativeness of the average tech worker today versus ten years ago, the equation balances.

Test might be measuring this skill gap in new industries (e.g. crypto) versus established ones (like adtech).

Engineers might not be underpaid due to inflation, but inflation can make them feel underpaid, because they're getting paid less than they were. They see that they're doing the same work as before but getting less for it, and thus the current amount must be too low. The idea that the previous amount was too high is less likely to occur to them.
