Very good point.

“We can’t drop the tariffs on Chinese EVs. They’re built by skave labour!”

“But Chinese Volkswagen is ok”

It’s damn expensive. All the product development is Copilot this and that, and core problems aren’t being addressed.

The sales teams should have lots of practice selling expensive stuff, after pushing m365 and azure to executives. Except - they fired all those people over the last couple years.

Feasible

The number of people who think that healthcare in the USA is just about perfect is evidently quite high - or the situation would change. So, it probably is easier than you think. There’s a lot of healthy people out there.

If it feels good you’re fine. It felt freaking awesome when I was recovering from a herniated disc as prescribed by a physiotherapist. Lying that way is at least as effective as “decompression” from a chiroquacker. I can’t imagine why it would be harmful.

If you’re scrolling and your neck isn’t supported your neck muscles will not thank you.

I don’t believe for a second his family is holding the bag.

I fucking hope so. I shouldn’t need a gig of RAM just to run mIRC with gifs aka Slack.

The longevity of EVs is typically good, arguably better than a ICE. I don’t think that there’s a relationship between outsize mileage claims and reliability.

There are some studies that have data that show the batteries tend to outlive their expected lifespan (except for the early Leafs) even when DCFC is used, looking at cars used for taxi/uber.

I’m optimistic. There are so few moving parts in an EV motor that it’s not really a concern, but the electronics are a bit of an unknown. I don’t think you can really say that EVs are going to last X years any more than you can say that about ICE cars. I expect to see failing modules in some models, just the same as we see it in specific ICE cars. “Oh, your car is doing X? Yup, the 2018 Opewagen XEP has a weak solenoid in the transfer case that would explain it.”

That said, I’m not sure about the smaller startups like Rivian. They’re new and cars are super complex.

Let’s put a single threaded fybamically-types front end language into our servers. It’ll be great.

Ok, yaml is fair game for a LLM. Whitespace sensitive language should die in a fire, markup or otherwise.

Personally it’s a subcategory of things I try to avoid dealing with (under Workstations, following Users). Easy to forget.
