This honestly sounds like a failure from Tesla just making stuff work in non-standard ways.

Where I am in Europe there are a few car sharing apps that have electric cars, and all that I've rented (VW, Peugeot, Nissan, Hyundai) just work the same as ICE cars. You press the button on the key fob and it unlocks, you press Start and the car starts.

Charging was not terribly complicated either. Scan the RFID tag on the keys against the charger, plug in the cable and wait for it to show it's charging.
The Edmund Scientific catalog used to sell all of the things on the list, so it was probably there (are they still in business?), or somewhere similar.
In the case of the video, the implication is that she was told she’s being fired for performance, which seems unreasonable as she appears to have just finished training. I think the days of HR giving references with any information are long gone, but I still wouldn’t want to chance having something in my “file” about being let go for performance if that wasn’t the real reason. That and it’s just common decency to not blame someone for their firing when they don’t deserve the blame, regardless of how it’ll play on some message board somewhere.
> ... I am mostly curious why anyone would bother watching/subscribing to this media, since the amount of information you gain from them is enough to influence you emotionally, but not enough information to gain you a market advantage.

That's the point. They want their audience to be confused. They want them to act on instinct, to spend funds as they choose. It's not about value, it's not about growth - it's about power, first and foremost.
Doesn't the WARN act just come down to paying severance that covers at least the notice period? Sometimes I feel like comments here are premised on WARN being a magic spell that prevents arbitrary termination.

I feel like there's a high chance of a layoff in my org as they had layoffs in other orgs yesterday and mine is one of major holdouts. I would very much wished for something definite, either for them to say that nothing currently planned or to say that it will happen later this month or something.

What the actual fuck?

This is so wrong on so many levels. First, what kind of shitty human being would do something like this in the first place? I mean, no, seriously??? HOW does anybody think that doing shit like this is OK? There is, like, no universe in existence (even if you believe in infinite parallel realities or whatever) where it's OK to mail people dead pigs and send them funeral wreathes, just because you don't like their freaking NEWSLETTER.

And then beyond that, even among the (hopefully small) subset of people who have no moral qualms about this, who the hell could be stupid enough to think that they could do this and NOT get nailed for it, either by being fired by their employer, or getting in legal trouble?

Everything about this just screams out to me as one more reason to embrace misanthropy. :-(
Eh I think there’s a good chance they’re less vocal about it. My father is a lawyer and he chose between going into a legal career and doing a PhD in philosophy. If you asked him, he’d tell you he wished he didn’t latter now that he’s nearing the end of his legal career. I think that 1) there’s a smaller percentage of people that made the choice between academics and industry and chose industry 2) they’re not vocal about it for one reason or the other. Most of the people I went to undergrad with whom I thought could succeed in academia had zero interest in doing research at any level.

Academia is definitely not for everyone, but when I weighed my options I am happy I did my PhD regardless of how I feel at the moment. It’s a peculiar thing for peculiar people and the attraction does not correlate with intelligence.

In a relativistic sense, spending money on fake space insurance and gacha pulls is better than an alcohol addiction or a hospital bill. In a pragmatic sense, the opportunity cost of investing in space travel simulation and softcore catgirl pornography is the progress towards real world space travel and actual catgirls.

When humanity eventually collapses in on itself due to resource exhaustion or outright hubris, our heavenly benefactors will zoom into our tech tree and say "Damn! They were just about to unlock interstellar travel and goodwill towards all mankind. What the hell were they speccing into earlier?"

It's not that. I just honestly cannot think of any reason for Cloudflare to do this. What good reasons are there to lie to an employee (and presumably therefore also to that employee's future potential employers) about their performance?
Running windows for arm requires standardized EFI firmware

https://www.arm.com/architecture/system-architectures/system...

Many arm64 devices run windows for arm today, including non Qualcomm devices like ampere devkit, honeycomb lx2 and even raspberry pi. They all have systemready firmware.

Apple's firmware is not standardized, compatible or certified as systemready, which is why it can't boot windows for arm. Apple's choice of firmware is up to Apple right?
To summarize. This is a new possible feature for the upcoming release. No, you don't have only full backups with Postgres right now - it is possible to perform incremental backups using Write Ahead Log (WAL), but with WAL you have to replay all the changes one by one while the new feature is a real diff meaning that backups will be smaller and faster to apply.
Sounds a lot like the abrupt product cancellations they're known for.

So, this one seems quite complicated, California is an "All Party" consent state. There's precedent from the California Supreme Court (Kearney v. Salomon Smith Barney Inc., 39 Cal. 4th 95; 2006) that when someone in a one-party consent state records a conversation with someone from California, the stricter condition applies, meaning they need all parties to consent.

At the Federal level, it's seemingly mostly a one-party situation and so it also isn't incredibly clear that someone would find it easy to bring a case in California against an individual based in Virginia. Multi-jurisdictional crime is complicated, People v. Brown 69 Cal. App. 2d 602 was a California appelate court decision saying California can only prosecure crimes occurring in California. Perhaps you would argue the person on this call from California was a wronged party if they didn't consent, but United States v. Anderson - 328 U.S. 699 (1946) concluded “the locus delicti must be determined from the nature of the crime alleged and the location of the act or acts constituting it", which does very little to conclude California would be able to prosecute a Virginian for recording a call with a Californian, even despite the other ruling?

If the participants in the conversation weren't based in California but were based in other states which still require more than one party to consent, I don't think many states other than California have settled precedent on whether the stricter condition applies.

(I am also not a lawyer).
No, actually most natural gas in the US is produced as "non-associated" gas, not gas associated with petroleum production.

I think it partially reflects the accessibility of the field.

You can start hacking on things as a kid with little more than a computer and an internet connection. You can literally have junior engineer knowledge when graduating high school. Add in a bit of formal education and a few years of experience, you can be a legitimate senior engineer at 24.

In fact, one of the best engineers I ever worked with was 21 and working at staff level. Things just clicked with him, so it didn't take long in the professional world for him to round out his knowledge.

By contrast, most other fields require expensive equipment or advanced techniques to gain actual, real experience. A high schooler might be able to weld a track car together, but it's a lot harder for them to do FEA (finite element analysis) or load testing without serious equipment.
This obviously decreases their margins since the insurance premiums go up. And if they self insure as the other guy claims, then the repair costs come straight out of their wallet.

I’m on a condo board. In fact I am the condo board atm. I would love to install infra to have ev charging available in our garage. Unfortunately ev load balancing hardware is prohibitively expensive and installers are borderline incompetent. I was quoted like 20k per spot and they couldn’t say if it would work or i would need to pull new service line in and how to do it. So we dont have ev charging.

Someone ought to disrupt this…

"Words are meant to communicate things through shared meaning and this is what seniority means to ~everybody else except you"

Apparently you need one more counterexample? I certainly do not think one can be considered senior after 3-4 years as well.

> I don't understand why Cloudflare can't just be honest and say the reason she got laid off, instead of making up some garbage about her performance.

In the video she says she was hired August 25th, or 4.5 months ago.

She also says she hasn't "closed anything officially", or in other words zero sales.

I understand this is an emotionally charged topic, but the unfortunate reality is that being past your ramp-up period with zero sales is not a good place to be when a company is downsizing. I feel very sorry for her, but I also don't think it's entirely fair to conclude that performance wasn't a factor.

It's also not really fair to conclude that Cloudflare was withholding information when the call starts at 0:26 and she cut's them off with "I'm going to stop you right there" at 0:47 (21 seconds later). They offer to schedule a followup call to go over the details, but she was in such a rush to talk over them and start lodging accusations before they had a chance to talk that I can't blame them for trying to de-escalate on the call.
>There are plenty of people on earth living less than $1usd a day and would trade their situation gladly for a very comfortable $50kusd/year.

This is absolutely besides the point. I also wish as many people as possible could make enough money to live comfortable lives but it has nothing to do with the problem of people passively earning millions of dollars without contributing anything positive to society.
>Re-read what I wrote: Inserting a compromised USB drive into an industrial environment is harder than a remote attack, but it's still not particularly hard.

And you're basing this on what? All of the OT networks I deal with are physically secured. You're swiping a badge and being recorded before you get anywhere near the production floor.

>Why does such an attack have to originate from Russia?

Because someone in the US compromising an OT network with ransomware is going to prison for a LONNNNG with little to nothing to gain from it?

>No, you have missed the point. Stuxnet shows that a USB attack can succeed even against a state actor. It does not show that a state actor is necessary to mount such an attack.

Go ahead and link some of the OT environments you've seen compromised by USB drive in the US. I work in the industry, you're going to be searching a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnng time to produce more than about 2 and both the ones I'm aware of were insiders who were immediately caught.

> With regard to the evidence for sexual violence, can I ask you what would be an acceptable form of evidence for you that doesn't include watching a video of a girl getting raped?

> “She said she then watched another woman “shredded into pieces.” While one terrorist raped her, she said, another pulled out a box cutter and sliced off her breast. “One continues to rape her, and the other throws her breast to someone else, and they play with it, throw it, and it falls on the road.”

If people accept that at face value from a party that calls people "human animals" and turns off water for civilians and all that, while prepping to take over occupied territory it doesn't even consider occupied but theirs, well.

> Also, with regard to the beheadings, I know this is uncomfortable, but it's worth looking into a bit more than you have. There is lots of evidence that would pass muster in any court.

If it would pass in court, you can link to it here. Because, again, so far it's been claims accepted at face value, then attacking those who ask for evidence (it's in the OP article even, someone asking for evidence being flagged as "terrorist/fake"), then still no evidence.

> or im somewhere new and I don't know about the local charging infrastructure.

When I’m traveling for work and need a car, it’s usually for smaller quick trips where I wouldn’t even need to refill a tank of gas. For these types of trips, a single charge on an EV makes sense. But otherwise, I agree with you. EV rental doesn’t make much sense to me for long trips or vacation travel where you’ll be driving a lot in a place you don’t know.

Oy, I wouldn't hold up a 2008 BMW as a paragon of usability. That early iDrive system was awful. Three different ways to differently manage climate temperature? Navigation straight out of the Macbook Wheel[1]? I could go on. The auto wipers were definitely better than the Tesla though.

I do largely agree with you re the Tesla, although the steering wheel controls I could argue both sides. They're multi-function, which allows you to customize their operation and do a lot more than you can with dedicated controls.

Edit: though I guess it's 2024 now. IIRC the 2009s had slightly less bad idrive.

Broadly speaking, it is worth it. Tools that are used in factories look more and more like this all the time, and these modernized factories are producing more product at more consistent levels of quality.

Again, the ransomware issue is easily mitigated. Not only can software be fixed, the wrenches can be also kept airgapped.

Also it is worth noting that there isn't any ransomware in the wild for these wrenches. This was a research exercise.

I am less than impressed with Tuya. They want to be an ecosystem, just like HomeKit or SmartThings, so you either have to go all in on them or use some bridging solution. And they charge (a lot) for their cloud development platform (used to have a free tier), and they change apps from time to time requiring new accounts and reconfiguration, etc. Not a fan.
Loxone is a pretty nice all-in-one solution, or as a base that can be then connected to HA, from lighting controllers to heating etc, and fully offline, especially in Europe where Lutron and the like aren't being used en masse (or are simply not compatible). The only downside is that it's pretty hard to configure by hand since the system is pretty complex.
