userinanother··on Man crushed to death by robot that mistook him for a box of vegetables
They can’t fine any meaningful amount anyway. The paperwork costs more to process than the fine

I’ve never seen a company reward a person for taking extreme risks. Usually they get coerced threatened or do it out of their own volition. The latter being very common just to make the big easier dispite being an hourly employee

userinanother··on Bing Chat is so hungry for GPUs, Microsoft will rent them from Oracle
It’s more than nothing probably more useful than blockchain but It’s more of an assistant and less of a replacement.

I mean yeah 1.3b is great but your revenue is coming from everyone else chasing the hype train. It will be a big viable business but it’s probably not that earth shattering
userinanother··on Ask HN: Buying Yourself a Job
I’ve struggled with a similar idea. One thing you have going for you is that you don’t actually have to make money. You can buy your retail location with cash and just cover the daily expenses without covering real estate costs which are a major piece. The problem with these businesses is that you actually have to be there at the times it’s open which can cut into your other life stuff unnecessarily. One way you can compensate is to overstuff and pay above market for talent but still you will occasionally have to deal with issues like staff quitting during a vacation or some other major life disruption annoyance that small businesses have to live with.

userinanother··on Ask HN: When and how did you realize that "equal opportunities" is a lie?

userinanother··on The Never-Updaters: Why Some People Refuse to Download New Software
I hate updating video games. More often then not they remove some awesome exploits or feature that I may want to make use of or removing inappropriate content for censors
userinanother··on What Can Happen When Kids Age Out of Foster Care
It’s hard to see how abandoning an 18 year old in modern America with 0 resources to start life wouldn’t result in adverse outcomes. Most places won’t hire anyone under 18, if they get dumped on the street the day they turn 18 there isn’t much hope to bridge the gap and get a job or get money for housing. They might not even get a chance to finish that last half year of high school. What a mess

userinanother··on What Can Happen When Kids Age Out of Foster Care
TLDR the only way for kids to get the help they need is for the mentors to work outside the rules of the system. The system completely fails apart and fails to provide support into extended childhood that occurs between 18-25

Whoops, nobody thought it might be a bad idea to shine a heat lamp at the airplane for 5 hours… idiots. That’s going to be a skin change now maybe multiple skins because the heat treat of the skin got all messed up.

userinanother··on Why Cities: Skylines 2 performs poorly
Yeah but if you had a release target of dec 15 and it crashed dec 1st and you could have brought it home by the 7th you would have been a bigger winner. Tragedy prevented is tragedy forgotten. No lessons were learned
userinanother··on Elon Musk thinks Tesla (TSLA) can reach $4T valuation
Once the price to revenue ratio gets that out of wack it’s damn near impossible to grow out of and a correction is basically guaranteed eventually. Even if you grow into that valuation via inflation which is the only conceivable way to get there your purchasing power with that amount is still not great.

I mean at the end of this day they are still an electric car company with a failed push into self driving and ai. There is only so far one can reasonably go even if they own the entire electric car segment
