The premise is bullshit, schools in America always give the kids lunch whether or not they have money that day. Kids who forget their money still get fed, the schools insist on it. Even if the kid pleads that he's just not hungry today, the school will put a tray of in front of him anyway. If the kid isn't getting free lunches already through the National School Lunch Act (which gives free or reduced price lunches to 30 million kids a year), then the money they owe will be recorded and their parents will be asked to pay it later. If the parents can't pay, the kid will be signed up for free lunches reimbursed by the federal government. But at no point does the school not give the kid a lunch.

I'm not sure if it's strictly Thunderbird's fault, or if it's because people sometimes reply to a random message with a bunch of people one it, change the subject, and things go downhill from there.

> The second effect is related to the fact that companies usually target older people with expensive jobs. In an a big org these are the wizards who have the unwritten cookbooks in their brains. When they leave en masse, a lot of the organizational memory is gone, and expensive operational mistakes of the past are forgotten. These have longer effects that will haunt the company for many years.

This can be a good thing. In my experience these people are generally unambitious people who's claim to fame is that they held a job for a long period of time rather than any innate talent.

And when you have a majority of seniors who's only value is in being a well of knowledge, they're resistant to any change that reduces the value of that knowledge. This can quash innovation and perpetuates the anti-pattern of information hording.

Yes, the Tesla Solar Roof tiles, and they did get some tiny number (thousands or something like that?) installed. I actually had ordered one and was in line to get it installed last year. But the company cancelled it, and then Tesla started cancelling all of them apparently. The reason the installer gave was that the v1/v2 were too labor intensive to be worth it, and they were waiting for the v3, but from reports I read another factor is that Tesla has been completely putting most of their solar stuff on the backburner due to internal dysfunction and redirecting all resources to car production. They've blown off a lot of the promises they made to New York at least for production and from the sound of it it's all a big mess. Which is too bad because from what I saw in person the product looks very good, and installations in Florida survived some big hurricane winds last year. So the durability seems to be as advertised vs wind/hail. And I do care about that on my roof of my house. But it appears to not have been at all a real internal priority.

As it happens I found this exact Italian company a few weeks ago trying to research if anyone else was trying to do the tile approach and was excited that there's at least something, even if they're a long time away if ever from any sort of global scale. But it's an approach I'd really like to see as part of the mix. Just driving around and looking, it's obvious people care about how their homes look. Since technologically it's feasible to have aesthetic solar power, it'd be nice to have a bunch of good options there just as there are for traditional roofs.

As far as Tesla, I wonder if they may come to regret burning some bridges and reducing their early lead/mindshare/diversification. The recent crashing prices for car EVs as other players pile into the space shows some of the risk, I bet they wished they'd put more effort into getting the Cybertruck out right now. They may ultimately feel the same about solar and home/business energy. I've got PowerWalls and are mostly happy with them, but I'm very interested in some of the vanadium redox flow batteries getting developed (like by StorEn) as well. Tesla has had an early lead but I think they could easily still squander that.
>Employees are often reluctant to leave jobs where they have a lot of personal relationships

That sounds like having a life. I guess the alternative is to isolate yourself to a point where you don't have any personal relationships. No hard choices then.
Tesla is damaging the idea of self-driving cars in spite of the media, not because of it.

Self driving cars were billed as the cool new thing. Then Tesla started charging people for "Full Self Driving" with a system that regresses from basic LKA that was shipping in the mid 2000s in terms of safety by using public roads for beta testing an intentionally hamstrung* L2-billed-as-L5 driving stack.

It's frustrating to watch as someone working in the AV space, and it's silly to act like this one case was isolated enough that the fact it was wrong changes any of that reality. We know Tesla's stack has killed people: it became normalized once the first few times it happened they were able to get away with victim blaming. By 2021 it was already accepted, this incident was already business as usual.

*humans just need eyes so self driving cars just need cameras
Covid pandemic proved that most office jobs can be done remotely with little to no loss of productivity.
And? You're taking something personally and proving my point with that statement.

The millions of people who live there, already live there. That doesn't increase demand. It is a large state, so there is plenty of space to build. Density is centered around three locations and the largeness of the state means that people can expand out to the suburbs.

What you want is somewhere with a high density, inability to add more property and desirable for vacations (like a beach with views). San Francisco was kind of a good example of this for a very long time, until it wasn't. There are other cities on coastlines that fit this model though.

I fairly regularly (several times per year) land our A36 at a class B airport: mostly BWI, PIT, and DTW. They are often the most convenient airport to access something downtown (such as a sporting event via public transport or a shorter Uber ride). Even our older 182 could blend in reasonably well speed-wise [though it often meant flying at full cruise power through much of the approach to keep the speed up to 135-140 KTAS].

No, you do not need to take the good with the bad. People ought to start drawing better lines and turning individuals away when they display such characteristics.

Ask HN: 'git rebase' searches have gone up. Is company productivity up?
I was curious how the layoffs over the last few months have impacted productivity. Google Trends shows that searches for 'git rebase' have gone up over the last 12 months (https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&geo=US&q=git%20rebase). Quite significantly as compared to the year prior.

It's a crude metric and probably actually measures activity vs productivity. So... has productivity / activity increased at your company over the last few months?

Light-induced degradation of silicon-based solar cells generally saturates above 0.1 suns [1] for the predominant mechanism of boron-oxygen defect formation; thermal degradation is also a factor [2] and likely to be unaffected by this geometry. But ERoEI for solar cells can be high, even in Europe [3] so, considering the roof replacement as a necessary cost regardless, these may still work out favorably, but at this juncture, only for special applications.

Remote only is short sighted. It might work okay for your experienced workforce, but for junior hires, especially new graduates, they get a lot from working alongside more experienced people. And when you’re young you want to go for drinks after work and socialise with colleagues. If you can’t keep the junior employees then your company has no future.

> Five years from now, I think we will not see "remote only" for a large company and think "ooh, they value their employees I guess", but rather, "uh oh, they like to think of their employees as being like virtual servers, easy to spin up and easy to shut down the moment you don't need to pay for that capacity".

A lot of people probably believe this is how companies think of employees. I know that at every company I've worked at, apart from losing a team mate you may like, it's just such an enormous pain in the ass to find, interview, onboard, and train up a new employee that nobody has ever thought of it as equivalent to spinning up and shutting off virtual servers. It costs a ton of money, too. I've never worked at a megacorp, and it may be different there, but I bet people would still rather keep people around if they can, even if only for purely selfish reasons.

You know what? Nothing needs to be pretty. Why stop at work tools? A home is there to let you cook, sleep and live efficiently. No need to be pretty. A city is there to allow you to go from A to B without any fuzz and to provide the essential services. Pretty cities are annoying.

I have several accounts and thousands of mails. But I can't see how an efficient tool can't be pretty and how a pretty tool can't be efficient.

I agree with the pros you find to the UI of Thunderbird and that's why I use it. But non-prettiness is not a feature. Prettiness is. For most people, it will be more enjoyable, more so if they spend hours each day using the tool, which is more likely in a work environment.

If it's more enjoyable, more people will use it instead of all these non-free pieces of software you listed (and which I will not use as a consequence), which in turn might bring more funding, which might allow the Thunderbird team to make it even more reliable.

Life is there to be enjoyed and this includes work. I also use thunderbird for my personal email account so it's not just work for me, like many people out there.

Why are we even arguing for non-prettiness? This is madness.

Again, the revamping we are talking about is being done for maintainability reasons, which is what you want for your tool to remain efficient, stable and reliable.

I understand the concerns, UI rewrites are often upsetting, but the amount of resistance to change here is quite impressive.

I don't see the point of not wanting improvements. Of course I won't be happy if Thunderbird becomes less reliable or less efficient but we are not there yet.

I trust the Thunderbird team to do the right things. They have not failed me for almost 20 years. I can't use anything else because I'm too used to its UI, the keyboard shortcuts, everything. The first versions after the rewrite might not work very well and have bugs but we can always wait a bit before upgrading.
Yeah that's bullshit. Came from a blue collar home, worked in the trades until I found my way into computers.

You are of course free to do whatever you like, but I would like to mention the two dangers I see with that approach:

1. If no-one uses the free version until it's necessary, it might decline and die, and then won't be around to save you. I'd say this is the Firefox / Chrome dynamic currently.

2. If you don't have the freesom to do something, you might not know what you're missing. Re: your comment in another branch, I have done all of "moving stuff around a file browser, installing ad-hoc apps, opening a command line, etc" on my phone in the past 24 hours, and had a great time doing it.

The interesting bit for me about Minerva (predecessor to Transform) was the engineering rigor that the pipeline allowed. It's pretty easy to write a query that brings a DB to its knees and the source controlled and reviewed intermediary steps for producing metrics seemed like crucial features. If you then have a good catalog of what metrics exist you can let BI tools or business types with their own tools mix and match performant metrics to their hearts delight.
From the description of the implementation, it would only send telemetry data after seven days of being on. So, yes, as long as the docker container is up for that long. I didn't see anything that mentions whether it would communicate to any telemetry server on initialization.
In 1938, the FDA started reviewing and approving drugs.

In 1960, Richardson-Merrell applied for approval for a drug called Thalidomide, a cancer treatment.
They had clinical trials that included pregnant women. They were rejected six times.

In the UK, The Distillers Company (Biochemicals) Ltd, a subsidiary of Distillers Co. Ltd marketed thalidomide as Distaval, a remedy for morning sickness. Their advertisement claimed that "Distaval can be given with complete safety to pregnant women and nursing mothers without adverse effect on mother or child ... Outstandingly safe Distaval has been prescribed for nearly three years in this country."

By 1962, over 10,000 children (most in west germany) were born with crippling disabilities caused by thalidomide. Over 2,000 died.

Frances Oldham Kelsey was awarded the medal for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service by President John F. Kennedy for rejecting the drug.
