Although possible, unless they have figured out how to hack your eye sight then it still leaves some seriously unanswered questions.

It says I don’t exist. Dark.

That would make sense if they didn’t also see it with their own eyes.

The American military are just humans like anyone else.

You must have not been to the USA recently. People here are incredibly disagreeable, especially in the last 5-10 years.

Tesla Model Y and Surface Laptop 4. I love the screen on the surface laptop and as a developer I feel way more productive. Tesla is just cool

When I was in the military I was fascinated that they had us pull 24 hr staff duty which is pretty much secretarial work with no sleep and then expected to drive home afterwards.

Let's say that this person did cheat. We can generally agree that cheating is not ethical. But what happens when their celebrity sits upon a foundation of lies and because of their celebrity they amassed some serious wealth. If they built such a large viewer base from cheating, is there any legal recourse here? Or will they be allowed to walk away with their bags of money and the mark of shame?

COVID largely impacted only the geriatric and obese. If the airplane were full of women and children then your analogy would be more poignant.

Edit: interesting note … if you were to take the number of deaths in the Second World War that would amount to 86 fully loaded 747 aircraft flying into the side of a mountain per day for six years.

Mass transit isn’t available to everyone. They don’t even have buses where I live.

I was on the Tesla hiring webinar last Friday for the application development vertical and on more than one occasion they alluded to their overwork culture. I asked some hardball questions that they either did not see or refused to answer. Most of the webinar was non-engineering related discussion and more of just a “woke culture” advertisement. Like they say, never meet your heroes. It was really quite a bummer because I have been stoked about being a Tesla customer and potential employee candidate. We own two Tesla’s in my household so I am all in at this point. Because I am a father of two and moderately conservative I feel like I wouldn’t be a good culture fit. I’ll do my 8 hours a day and some occasional unpaid overtime is fair but I got the vibe that they work more than 40 hours a week fairly regularly. I would love to be wrong about this so someone please prove me wrong.

It is more of a Fifth-Ass concept than anything.

Full time remote work. It shouldn't be required but it should be allowed. I don't have sympathy for companies who cant find good help because they want to limit themselves to developers in a 50 mile radius.

Maybe I am getting old but I would not want to use this technology. You already have a lot to manage as a soldier on the a battlefield and adding this networked AR junk just adds to the complexity. Also the networking probably breaks the second you introduce signal jammers into the equation. So this would be useless for mechanized infantry or other wheeled units on the current battlefield. I have spent countless hours operating under PVS-13, PVS-14 and on one rare occasion PVS-20's on the battlefield and it's already hard enough. Adding these AR overlays solves a problem that doesn't currently exist and would get in the way when clearing buildings or other confined spaces. PVS-14's were a massive leap in depth perception and I think that if they just continued to improve on that it would be enough. The US military is already the most technically advanced fighting force on the planet. We need to focus on improving our strategy more than our technology at this point.

Clarifying note -- our government needs to improve their strategy. They have failed our military leaders for the past 20 years.

Cool! Now put it on a VR headset

I thought Salesforce certifications had registration fees. Has that changed?

We are integrating Salesforce at my company and I am currently leading a large portion of that integration. Salesforce dominates the CRM market. Unless there is some sort catastrophic event that tarnishes their reputation, they will be around for quite awhile. Their system is incredibly complex and can be somewhat difficult to reason about. I believe if you specialized in Salesforce development or administration you can most definitely make a long term career out of it. Consequently, you run the risk that of becoming highly specialized which may make you less marketable for non-Salesforce related positions. Companies are going to spend countless engineering hours and bags of money to integrate Salesforce which will ultimately vendor lock them for an extended period of time. This is great for current and future Salesforce developers because it will add stability to their job market. I don't view certifications as a red flag but there are people out there that look down on people with certifications. That is a personal problem IMO.

I love Ruby but I don't share a lot of common ground with Twitter hungry rubyists.

This is insanity. We need legislators, lawyers and judges who are tech competent.

If you have a company, you can do this as well. This isn't unique to big corporations. This is why I went from sole proprietor -> llc -> s-corp. It took one successful year for me to figure this out. If you don't want to spend your income on taxes then reinvest into your business or donate to charities.

I love this -- thank you!

I love this! Keep it up!

What a great post!

> I learned a lot. It kept me motivated through hard times with no customers, as I kept saying to myself if this won’t work, at least I’d learn something.

This is where I am at right now. I am trying to moonlight my own learning platform with two kids and a full time job, using a new-to-me technology is what keeps me going. It removes the stress of success because, no matter what, I succeed in some corny kind of way. Both myself and my existing employer get a better version of myself I’m the end.

I did not know this. Thanks for the information. So do this make a currency like Doge more attractive as a long term solution? Will BitCoin be a one hit wonder per se?

I mean I don’t disagree with you but it still makes my stomach turn a bit.

Cryptocurrency continues to gain more ground but I still have my reservations about it being the currency of the future.

If by design, cryptocurrency has a finite volume of transferrable currency, do early adopters have an unfair advantage that could potentially make the currency unusable? I don’t see how it could possibly be fair when earlier mining yielded currency more quickly.

I have worked remotely in a relatively small town with 70k people. I have lived in areas like Denver and Washington D.C. and I will never go back to the grind and misery of city life.

Pros: save money, no traffic, nicer homes and schools, never wait in lines really

Cons: no entertainment you would find in a bigger city, making friends can be more difficult, can be several hours away from a large airport

After more than a decade of developing on Mac and Linux I am moving back to Windows and continue to be quite happy there. Docker solved most of the problems that plagued Windows as a development machine. Mac hardware is incredibly expensive. Linux is great but I don’t enjoy it as a daily driver to do a lot of the administrative and logistical tasks expected of me as a engineering leader without the company.

Serious but maybe a dumb question. I know only Tesla’s can use the Supercharger network at this time. Is this because other EV cars would be damaged by the power of these Superchargers? Are they designed to be charged at such a high rate? I know the V3 pushes 1000 mi/hr. A recent v2 I used was pushing in the 300 mi/hr range.

Bloomberg should probably do more research.
