But the CEO that was done under was not sufficiently candid with the board.. I think they realized they have some risk being only a technicality that does whatever the CEO and Microsoft tell them is aligned with their mission.

> and it's clear you're single-handedly enabling delivery of major projects earlier than anyone else could.

You have to watch out with that.. I've seen whole projects pushed through by management where no one else was involved enough to review normally, but everyone had an interaction that implied they had only seen the top of the iceberg of problems with it.

Thomas Crapper stepped down from the Crapper company in 1904, which is why we don't have Crappers today.

I think there are quite a few reasons ICE cars bought now or recently won't get to their normal lifespan, especially in urban areas which probably would have already restricted them if there were economy EVs to help politicians deflect claims of elitism. They also have the tank liability and space issues that already burden downtown gas station economics.

If the diesel transition takes time, I think the gas pumps will also stay along the major truck routes, but one might feel like a NG fuel user looking for an airport station in regions with a lot of urban density.

(Even without these pressures, an EV is already 1/3 the price to operate so that pushes ICEs toward infrequent users which accelerates the downward spiral of gas stations and gas consumers.)

His behaviors seem more like personal coping dysfunction to me. Maybe it was more beneficial in the past where everyone else was making their volume, but here it mostly just burns future good will, and for what?

No one is going to have a lot to sell this year, but people who would have bought a US EV when capacity normalizes are going to buy a Chinese EV because he has bothered to make this personal connection that overrides any abstract ethical concerns.

I find it odd that they feel the need to do that kind of advertising. They seem like the company that has made it as a brand and should be best served by broadcast advertising, word of mouth, paid/unpaid placement, etc.

> Right. Now what's the developer man-hour cost of the move?

I think the real question is what's the cost to buy an equal number of training hours so you can pretend your resources are that competent.

Imagine a military that never fought, never did significant exercises and probably doesn't even have cleaning exercises any more on half its inventory.. That's basically how I view a company that had organic IT growth over a few years and hasn't done a major transition in anyone's recent memory.

You are free to stop buying tickets (to this free blog?) Ex-fans can be confused about social debts that don't exists and presumably stem from past transactions.

> What does that mean to you?

There are 48 million cases for 350 million Americans a year. Experts say most involve factors at home, I.e. improperly stored leftovers involve both systems, but are attributable to the at home fault..

> The risk is hugely overblown in my opinion

Sure, only about 3000 Americans die a year of food poisoning and most of them will have had other contributing health factors..

I simply reject this idea that a person who thinks food safety is easy is doing food safety really well.

Restaurants have additional complications and risks of not knowing the health of their guests, etc, and having a high volume of food and therefore bacteria passing through. The average home cook scaling up their behaviors would be much more dangerous and doesn't recognize the indicators of mistakes that would kill one of those unlucky 3000 as a house guest.

Thanks, but that isn't really normalized to anything.. The average American should get food poisoning every 7 years (48 million a year) and I have an upset stomach I would associate with at least one food risk in the 12 hours prior more like yearly, but I rarely get flu level sick, even from a flu, certainly not in an average 7 year period.

I think most people simply haven't looked into food safety material enough to integrate a probability that they had a food related factor when they feel sick and therefore conclude that they have no food risks in their daily habits that would equate to a small risk of a major health incident in a centralized kitchen, etc.

Everything I've heard about Amazon makes it sound like the perfect place to hire from if you want top talent that is a little burned out at the start.. They seem designed to be a short term exploitation firm.

> For the "you get food poisoning at home all the time and don't know it / its just like flu" crowd.. I'd argue you maybe have not had the most severe, rapid onset forms that you can get from a restaurant.

People who have had botulism know that isn't real food poisoning..

I do too and I have an upset stomach sometimes.. I note and try to adjust, since I'm not going to throw out virtually everything I buy to be 100% safe at the cost of absurd food waste. The point of health inspectors, etc, is that we can't take all the same kind of risks in a high volume kitchen.

I don't understand why the idea that an average person gives themselves food poisoning often is rocket science here.

> has a sani-rinse option that adds a 10 minute rinse with 160℉ (71℃) water

And everyone who owns that model uses that option every time? For the industry washers there's probably less options to bypass sanitation.

It's merely statistical matters that make it less relevant how often people insufficiently sanitize at home. If some are actually immuno compromised and kill themselves that's still nothing like single Burger joint to a public health policy.

(I seem to have triggered the HN "everyone has my current OCDs and doesn't behave like my college roommates" on this thread.)

It's extremely common to get food poisoning at home, and for many people/cases it is indistinguishable from the flu.

Who separates meats in their fridge and on their cutting boards, dates the opening times of items, etc? Similarly, a home dishwasher doesn't actually sterilize anything, which is why its safer AFA chemicals. It's just providing the hope that small doses of something you've already interacted with won't cause sickness.

But once you've been sick from some contamination you won't really notice it, but guests might. Some restaurants run the same way as typical homes, and will be universally contaminated and someone who eats out regularly with variety is going to have similar consequences to being a guest in houses all over town..

> Just like every other automobile there is no combination of events that could cause them to depreciate

Other than every combination of events before 2 years ago..

As an example, China may inundate every market Tesla operates in with cheap EVs made from the plants that don't accept western auto component manufacturing pricing given current risk, interest rates, etc.

Tesla captures that anyway unless you are suggesting a huge amount of purchaser remorse instead of people trying to sell a waiting list position at a profit..

I don't like Tesla but it is ridiculous to call a 1 year anti-scalping rule a profit scheme, at the end of the year, they would even have a slump based on remorse buyers liquidating which would hurt them more as they might actually have capacity then.

Alcohol and caffeine are also vasoconstrictors in high usage one would associate with addiction (they seem to have a lot of paradoxical effects depending on dosage/habit).

If the theory that nicotine alone is not as addictive as smoking is correct I'm not sure the concern makes more sense than concern over other common addictions.

Olive oil has a lower smoke point than cheaper oils so faking olive oil has been pretty easy.. I don't actually buy Italian olive oil since anyone who is faking oil internationally would be pretty crazy to make less by selling it as Spanish or Greek olive oil.

On their older hardware, I replaced a HD after about 6 years (that never actually had errors) with an SSD for another ~6.. With 8GB and an integrated SSD, I would be extremely nervous after year 2 or 3.

This over-shot may have the opposite effect though. I think the browser vendors will have more trouble limiting plugins that monitor certificates and perhaps build a p2p transparency report of sorts. Right now the default CA's include the federal post offices, etc, of all sorts of seedy countries.

Profitable before considering the alternative of a guaranteed return at a higher rate is unprofitable, people were just confused (or imprecise about an irrelevant distinction) when the interest rate was near 0.

Likely and eventually are doing a lot of work for the US over decades, the hypothetical person is already unable to open a brokerage account since mid last decade in many countries.

First world children accidentally having US citizenship from their parents youthful indiscretions aren't so happy this decade with their inability to use normal financial services in their own country.

There's the possibility that the US gets sidelined in global finance but otherwise there's no reason to assume it won't continue with its current momentum instead of recently developed progressions somehow being steady state.

Going to the US as some kind of fun few year adventure is really no longer something someone should contemplate without first consulting non existent neutral international financial/immigration/legal council. If you aren't sure of a very specific goal/desire consider if somewhere else might work well enough instead.

The US extends its power over financial institutions whenever it wants, so anyone who leaves the US without renouncing and then can't renounce due to incompliance is likely to end up unbanked eventually.

Heart challenges are always going to raise the short term risks, avoiding all heart challenges the long term.. It's naturally a complex field, but public health didn't respond well to the no challenges approach.

Here is wood smoke, which is one of the challenges you definitely don't want because it is smoke:

https://www.epa.gov/burnwise/wood-smoke-and-your-health

> It elevates blood pressure and heart rate, stimulates changes in blood hormones, causes vasoconstriction in some tissues and dilation in others.

Jogging?

> People can debate how big these impacts are or if anyone should care, but I don't think it is reasonable to argue the null hypothesis here

People should realize that smoke is always harmful and then do real studies on actual drugs if they want to know something about them. Maybe marijuana is protective, but like everything, not protective enough for smoke inhalation. Probably not but who can say with such counterproductive health associations.

(CNN also has such a headline, but seems to have contemplated the limits of these studies a little better:)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38163554

My point is really that CNN used the paper correctly for a point it could support. The point it may have been intended to make is flawed as particulate inhalation is a primary cause of heart problems so a separate cohort that (uses but) doesn't smoke marijuana would be necessary to understand the actual drugs in relation to heart health.

Cannabis users considered as a group is obviously going to include smokers, so without broken down analysis who can say if other use is harmful, neutral or protective?

The day is pretty irrelevant in finance as it is too granular, but the problem of converting from US week numbers comes up.

I'm referring to the fact that he answers to absolutely no one when it comes to running meta:

In every possible place where he could get feedback, he is above feedback. He can even pretend to be stupid over and over in the common media and act like he has no recourse to expensive advice or analysis that could ELI5 what technology, history or politics are.
