frontloadpro··on China says it wants to eliminate Bitcoin mining
POS hasn't been proven to work without centralization.

It's why alt coins have stayed basically irrelevant.

frontloadpro··on Paint Is Colored Glue
The Chem Engineer finds terms like Resin, useless.

It's kind of like saying, tape.

Which tape? Easy peel? Or duct tape?

I imagine that this is possible because there is only one type of resin that's useful in this field. Or trade secrets...

frontloadpro··on Why Some Doctors Hesitate to Screen Smokers for Lung Cancer (2015)
Start calling them Physicians.

It's important to break up the medical field by service.

Physicians are drug dealers and the literal key to getting insurance paid for.

Doctors of Physical Therapy do not perscribe medication, but are the experts in muscle and skeletal matters.

Primary Care Physicians are this weird beaurcratic step in our healthcare process.

frontloadpro··on Tesla’s First-Quarter Deliveries Plummet
This is a Strawman comment, from an uneducated car buyer.

There are plenty of higher quality electric vehicles.

The acceleration is one tiny aspect of customer satisfaction.

Tesla has worst in class interiors and reliability. Not having buttons or trays is something only Tesla can get away with.

Is it better for the environment to buy a used car? Or better for the environment to buy a new car?

frontloadpro··on Tesla’s First-Quarter Deliveries Plummet
Tesla's market is extremely niche. Luxury car to an uneducated car buyer.

Car enthusiasts won't get a Tesla because Tesla's ARE inferior to the competition at that price point.

You don't buy a Tesla because you want your car to work for 2 years without breaking, you buy a Tesla to show friends.

I know luxury Ford products sold 20k/yr, and those were some seriously high end SUVs. Same price point.

I cannot see how Teala is sustainable.

Edit, the reliability problems aren't unique to Tesla, any new car has them. I don't understand why people straight lie about it not having reliability issues.

frontloadpro··on Why Don't Americans Understand How Poor Their Lives Are?
I'm no nationalist, but I do enjoy my high paying Engineering job and low cost lifestyle.

I have concerns my pay would be lower and cost of living higher in Europe.

Looking to be able to retire by 32 years old.

frontloadpro··on Why Don't Americans Understand How Poor Their Lives Are?
Is this a real thing? My life is my job, family, side projects, and fun.

I don't know where you lived, but none of the people I know, Engineers and programmers think that they should be reading non fiction instead of playing video games.

frontloadpro··on Why Don't Americans Understand How Poor Their Lives Are?
I hate traveling.

I lift weights and going to Europe was the most physically draining experience. Going to a restaurant paying 12 Euros and getting 700 calories of carbs was awful. And having to pay for water... I felt physically terrible.

By the end of the trip, I'd order 6 tuna or egg sandwiches.

I don't travel because I find learning more interesting than looking at buildings.

frontloadpro··on Airbnb’s ‘Guerrilla War’ Against Local Governments
Why is your profile littered with anti Airbnb comments?
frontloadpro··on Airbnb’s ‘Guerrilla War’ Against Local Governments
The illegal listings is crony capitalism. Hotels don't want to compete.

And tax evasion is a completely different topic, that is not why Airbnbs are shut down. Every industry has tax problems.

frontloadpro··on Airbnb’s ‘Guerrilla War’ Against Local Governments
Edit, it was shut down because my local area has a rule against bed and breakfasts that aren't located on a main road.

Our Airbnb got shut down after a year by the local government. It wasn't a safety thing, it was a competition thing. Our Red Roof Inn charges 60 a night, but we charged 80 a night.

Our reviews could make me tear up. People saying they had the best stay of their life.

Asking them what they wanted for breakfast, hot tub temp, Nerf guns, and chatting. People loved it.

But we stopped. Government....

frontloadpro··on Musk Faces U.S. Contempt Claim for Violating Accord with SEC
I got a feeling we are going to find out Elon does a lot of lying.
frontloadpro··on Amazon Pulls Out of Planned New York City Campus
Less pay sounds good until you see the talent that comes with less pay.

Junior devs and low performing seniors.

Amazon claimed my city didn't have enough talent.

What they meant is that 6 figures is too much to pay per programmer.
