Obviously this applies to the ~average~ car. A hellcat or sports bike tearing down the highway will be louder but the consistent drone of tire noise increases slightly for electric cars.
They are even louder than fuel burning cars over 50kph due to the extra weight. I would still rather hear loud tire noise than breathe exhaust as a pedestrian though
I think Dyson benefits from the same effect as Apple/Tesla/Beats/etc. Their products are good but their triumph is upselling. Dyson cordless vacuums are like $800+, was your previous one that expensive?
Maybe for a key hire with a specific skill-set. Principal engineer level probably can leverage severance since the hiring pipeline at that level is much slower
The deaths the OP references are specifically NOT excess. An effective vaccine would reduce the number of excess deaths. No one is saying we start ignoring those when the vaccine rolls out, if anything we should watch the number even more closely to make sure it is working.
I'm not surprised that it's only 5%. I think it's worth keeping in mind that this is a cryptocurrency company and so that already are within a culture that has strong libertarian leanings. The people that took the severance are very likely just bored with their job and wanted a vacation.
It is a mixed bag. Early model S cars are only 8-9 years old right now. Still pretty young to determine true long term reliability. Tesla also kept the reputation decent early on by offering warranty repairs on pretty much everything. I've heard it is not uncommon when looking at an 2012 model S to have reports of 10+ door handle replacements. The real test will come at the EOL time for batteries. If it is similar to hybrids, that comes at ~15 years. I imagine in ~2027 virtually all original model S cars will be in junk yards/salvage auctions when they are totaled by a dead battery.
I doubt there is a significant enough amount of those materials being burned. Millions of acres of forest has burned compared to relatively few buildings.
To be fair, if you are the engineer leading that project and it ships on time and on budget then you are still worthy of promotion. The product leaders who thought another chat app was a good idea are the ones who need a reckoning
Also the ubiquity of auto-uploaded videos and livestreaming. Only in the last few years has virtually all video recording become online first. Before all police had to do was take a person's phone away to hide their actions.
Some older usb-c devices would start charging based on order of plugging in. i.e. plug the phone side in first and the phone will start charging your iPad. Seems the defaults are smarter now and phones always prefer to receive power.
We have been WFH for over 2 months so I think it should be somewhat representative. Although "WFH during a pandemic" is never going to be a truly representative time for this survey.
Cruise seems to use my neighborhood as its primary testing grounds. They drive slower than the elderly and are always braking unexpectedly due to any movement near the sidewalks.
Last time cruise made a report about disengagements (where the safety driver had to take over) it was one every 5000 miles driven. That's 1 crash the car was prevented from every 5000 miles. Humans crash once per 70000 miles.
That chart is completely ridiculous. I moved from one of the cities at the top of that list to SF. My pay went up by 3x, my living expenses went up by 4x and my overall savings increased by 3x.
The problem is that I've seen the pay difference be far larger than that. I worked in the midwest and people getting paid $100k moved to the bay area for $300k+
Our company did a recent survey that asked if people wanted to be able to wfh permanently. I'm really interested in seeing how small the loud minority of "everyone should wfh" crowd is
