This is close, there is more nuance to it, and a lot of it is going to be specific to your org.

If you work in office, and there are accountants there go make friends. They are just another flavor of nerd, so you're gonna get along with them, and they have insights into the company that you will never get outside of the C level.

IF you dont KNOW the answers to accounting questions, take some classes. Candidly this is a function of every business that engineers should be aware of! The projects that cost money upfront (OPEX) and can provably reduce recurring costs (CAPEX) can be HUGE wins for all involved.

There is a story about how Dr's in the US have no idea what a procured costs, and that many non us ones do. Though the example is about insurance, I think the lack of awareness of costs is pervasive in more places. Do you know your AWS spend? Do you know the per customer cost/spend (is that individual or organization).... These numbers start to matter in a value engineering situation.
I don't agree with your speculation for a couple of reasons, primarily:

- 90% of EV charging is done at home, meaning that even when all cars are EV, there will be an order of magnitude less usage of the public infrastructure.

- EV infrastructure does not require employees on site so it is not beholden to the same 'service center' economic model premised upon selling snacks and becoming defacto grocery stores for impoverished locals.

But also, EV charging stations are purposely located in existing commercial areas like malls, hotels, grocery stores, strip malls, etc. whose bathrooms are supported by businesses with a much bigger reputation to uphold than one whose customer loyalty is fundamentally linked to being 3 cents cheaper than the identical building across the street.
If I am contributing to a community project, made by the people for the people, GPL protects my work from being stolen by corporations that pack it up and sell it for a price.

GPL means you work on something and in return you get something from someone else that improved on your work, you can't keep any published change private.

GPL also means that if someone forks the original source code and makes substantial changes, the subsequent work must be licensed under the GPL (what MS called the "viral nature"), nobody can re-license it, unless all the other contributors agree to it.

GPL software cannot be acquired to kill it, like Google or Apple do all the time, or severely cripple it after the acquisition.

Citroen C3 Petrol is 6.5L while the electric version starts from 13L. A straight 100% markup.

Tata Tiago Petrol starts from 6L while the electric version is 9.5L, with a 50% markup.

Not the OP but I can believe it - where I work the main business is consultancy style work but to support that work there's custom generic software developed to sell/license to clients as part of a value add and there's dozens of internal tooling to support delivery teams. We have developers that will move between all 3 of those areas depending on their current allocation to client work.
Your subconscious clearly has different priorities, try listening to it. If it's concerned about your safety, then maybe your daily activities aren't bringing you closer to safety as quickly as they could. If it's concerned about injustice then you may try more directly contributing to bringing about justice.
I agree, the solution has to start by taxing gas/carbon, not subsidizing EV's

Why does it seem so uncommon/unpopular to differentiate positions between entry level and senior in these WIH threads?

I guess because people assume there are only seniors on Hackernews?

I could imagine that being the reason and it would be pretty silly...
You heat an indoor, that you leave for many hours regularly. Also you put fridge in heated room to make food cold even though outside could be same temperature asi in your fridge.

Some lawyers took a look at it. They decided it was worth pursuing.

Their knowledge of the law is presumably greater than ours.

So when we find ourselves confused about how the law works, and we think that the case is invalid on it's face - we should take that as an indication that our assumptions are incorrect and we probably don't understand the law as well as we thought. That doesn't imply the case will win at trial or that we don't need to conduct trials.

You seem to be suggesting this isn't and can't be related to working conditions. But it's far more likely you're mistaken than that the NLRB is engaged in a conspiracy. The employees wanting a quick payout doesn't make a difference in that calculus, especially since they aren't the ones making a decision about whether or not this is actionable. It's not like they were the ones who brought the suit, they filed a complaint with a regulator.

> At any rate, I'd give 10:1 odds that 90% of SpaceX employees are relieved these 8 no long work there.

I think it's worth reflecting on whether you are reasoning from the evidence here, or whether you are allowing your biases to contaminate your conclusions. You seem to have identified the employees as people you don't like or are politically or ideologically opposed to.

> It has nothing to do with the food, nothing at all, it has to do with intimacy and care.

Right. So the act of cooking actually doesn't have much to do with it! Arguably, you are tying the act of making food to "intimacy and care" in a way that makes it feel to me like there's this big social pressure to feed people! There are a myriad of other ways to look after your humans.
Yep, that's where they shine. There are always cars that are "more", but few that can be used as hard as Porsches. When you fall out of love with something more exciting because it spends more time in the shop than on the road, the Porsche is always there ready to go.

You can confirm that "probably" with 5 minutes of research and find out that the largest contributors to carbon emissions in eating are the production of the raw materials (which ingredients you use). Once that is controlled for, cooking method is the largest second factor (wood / coal / gas / electric). Once that's controlled for, going out to eat in a restaurant is worse than at home. The only communal eating that is more efficient is school / soviet canteen style eating, which is not what you were thinking about when you said restaurants.

It works until it doesn't. And clipboard sharing is "essential" to me. Wrt/ clipboard sharing, yes, I could work around not having it available but that's 50% of why I use it in the first place and as I said everything worked absolutely as expected in the olden days. Yet another tech that has only gotten worse over the last decate, similar to the shit show that instant messaging has become. I miss the times where I could run a well-integrated multi-protocol chat client on all of my computers regardless of OS which required basically no RAM or CPU usage to chat with all my contacts regardless of what protocol they used. Now it's mostly Electron crap eye candy taking too much resources by a factor of >100 and way too much screen estate. It's simply not practical anymore. "Things were better before" is in 99% of cases a factually untrue, romanticized view on the past, but sometimes it's objectively true, and in rare cases like IM there are serious negative effects on my personal quality of life that I cannot fix on my end because the system itself is broken.

Batteries are too expensive for cheap cars. There won't be $1k beater EVs for a _long_ time. Just the raw metals in any decently sized battery is worth 2-3 times that. Even more if the battery cells are still in working condition, it can be repurposed for multiple uses.

Also expensive cars have bigger profit margins - which is the real reason =)
There is an important and very profane aspect of ornament on buildings which isn't mentioned in the article: it hides dirt incredibly well.

Just compare these dirty 19th century facades with a dirty facade of a house from the 70ies:

The latter looks absolutely filthy, while the former, although uncleaned for 150 years, still look nice.

I do not buy the efficiency argument given by Adolf Loos at all. What you gain in labor time by removing ornamentation, you will loose in renovation work and (urban) living quality.
My Renault Megane E-tech will tell me the battery % when I reach my destination, and will ask me to add a charging stop on the way if I won't make it. My previous BMW i3 did the same.
Thanks. I'll try to get my hands on a portable Apple device to test and debug this behavior. I test my websites in WebKit using Epiphany (GNOME Web) but not directly on Apple devices.
You are right. I'd advise myself to do that now. That journey happened 20 years ago so I don't remember the details. Maybe we did have some cans or maybe we were just fools used to the gas stations of Europe's highways.
The Architecture of Open Source Applications: Sendmail (2011)
I’ve tried over the course of years to imagine any legitimate reason for it, even any technical reason for it, for why you might ever do it. None comes to me. I do not believe that any legitimate reason exists: I suspect it was just a badly-thought-out arbitrary technical decision from quite a few years ago when the impact would have been felt less often, and which they haven’t been willing to revert, if they’ve even noticed any complaints.

As for “find out why”, I’ve tried contacting them, multiple times by two or three means, and never received a response, including by one form where they explicitly guaranteed a response to every enquiry.

People won't know the implications of decisions without regulations to help them. Of course businesses are populated by people, who will try and do the right thing if that's how they are, but that doesn't mean they know what the right thing is.

So, I took this and ran with it a bit.

> Across the country's 35 largest metro areas, homes that boast of a formal dining room ask a median of $325 500, 23% more than the national median home price[0]

I didn't find specifically the median house price, but reversing the 23% increase puts the median at $265 000.

This suggests a median 'dollar value difference' from adding a dining room of around $60 000.

With a median down payment of 13%[1], and an average interest rate of around 7%[2], you'll pay back around $550 000 over a thirty year mortgage[3].

In order to pay back less than $610 000 (i.e. the $60 000 value difference), the mortgage shouldn't exceed $293 000, leaving you with only $28 000 to build your dining room and come off better off at the end of the mortgage term.

Obviously if you can do better than the median rates, down payments, and values, then the maths changes, but on average, it looks like I might be wrong about you recouping the full amount you spend on adding a dining room.

It's different security. Like in game of thrones in that scenario you're as safe as your boss is, which will depend on the evolving politics. Even founders get housted sometimes, but I'd agree that I'd choose your scenario over others.
I have driven from Seattle to Houston in an EV. On a couple odd trips it was more convenient than gas because everything is electrified and there are chargers that work off of 220v plugs.

But of course people feel concerned, they always do when they go from the familiar to the unfamiliar, or when they organize trips that make it difficult to get timely help.

> No restaurant offers that variety.

No single restaurant. But in a city like mine, there are countless restaurants that offer meals I have neither the knowledge nor equipment to prepare.

It may not be 100,000 ingredients… but neither are the shops I'd buy the ingredients from.
But my point was that A/C and all electric appliances also affect fuel consumption of ICE cars, and if, for any reason, you're low on fuel you have to take that as much into consideration as with an EV car (except that it's often much harder to gauge how much you have left, with an ICE car).
A chosen-prefix (i.e. a demonstration how to modify a given legal document to obtain two different documents that have the same hash) SHA-1 collision has already been computed:

"We have successfully run the computation during two months last summer, using 900 GPUs (Nvidia GTX 1060)."

Such resources can be easily rented from a cloud.

So for anyone willing to spend up to 100k USD, it is trivial to find SHA-1 collisions.

Also relevant: the concept of skill stacking.

I first ran across it here: https://forge.medium.com/how-to-become-the-best-in-the-world...

Acting in bad faith in this case is pretty clear, no? Going against the agreed code of conduct that all members of the organisation should follow is pretty much in bad faith.

Some (or even most) of the employees speaking up are also shareholders, so even in your very narrow definition of whom should have the power to criticise actions in bad faith of leadership would grant those employees that power.

> "Society" and "limited liability corporations" didn't just get invented, we have a system that works fine. People who own things ultimately get to decide what happens to them, within the strictures of their ownership (for example, shareholders, contracts, etc.)

You are basically giving carte blanche to the owners of capital to do whatever they want, even if that would negatively impact a whole organisation and the workers producing the value for such organisation. That's a very corporate-centric worldview which I don't abide to. Capitalism is an amoral system, we humans need to instill some morality into it so it can function in a way that's more beneficial than damaging, employees speaking up against leadership in a very clear case of such leadership breaking their own agreed code of conduct is well within bounds of what should be acceptable.

Bosses are not slave masters, the employment relationship can be economically viewed as a transaction for market modeling, but as a societal relationship we should strive to lessen the intrinsic power imbalance of it, employees generate value, no company would exist without them, reducing that to "owners can do whatever they want under the bounds of contract/civil/criminal law" transfers more of the power to employers since those have much more capital to deploy on lobbying, lawyering and so on. The system doesn't work "fine", it works but it can always be better.

And in this specific case the actions taken were even illegal, so the employees had the right to speak up. I don't understand what you are defending.

Ask HN: Is Traditional College Education Obsolete in the Tech Industry?
I've been pondering the current and future state of education in the tech industry and would love to hear your thoughts on a pressing question: Is traditional college education becoming obsolete in our field?

Knowledge can be acquired in a number of ways now. online courses, bootcamps, self-learning, etc.

1. How well do you think traditional college programs are keeping up with the fast-paced evolution of technology?
2. Given the high costs of college education, do you believe the investment is still justified by the value it provides, especially in the tech industry?
3. How much weight do employers in tech currently place on formal education versus practical experience and self-taught skills?
4. With the continual advancement of online and alternative educational resources, what do you foresee for the future of traditional college education in our field?
5. If you're comfortable sharing, what was your path like? Did you find your college education beneficial in your tech career, or did you take a different route?

I'm keen to hear a variety of perspectives, especially from those who have navigated different paths in the tech industry.

Full disclaimer: I work in tech but also teach post-graduate level for AI/ML.
