This is hugely surprising. 61 is not old man. Is it me or does seem like the Gen Xers in the so-called counter culture are less long lived than their Boomer counterparts?
if it's a percentage based cut then it's predetermined in a sense. leadership is just doing this as a blood sacrifice to the animal spirits of the market.
This actually is a fairly controversial stance in education, so there's reason to be combative about it. A lot of education tends to emphasize meeting students where they are to the point that it can completely subsume the irreducibility of complexity when confronting some knowledge conceptually; one _can_ be better served instead by attempting to memorize some bulky, impenetrable abstraction and instead make sense of it through its application. A lot of knowledge only becomes clearer when one forges ahead with a dim appreciation of what is being articulated but the confidence, willingness, and (most crucially) feedback mechanism for testing it out anyway.
the move to electric should definitely accompany a change in the size of vehicles. because of their increased mass, electric cars are a lot more dangerous than ye olde combustion engine auto.
Gusto paycheck didn't come in until a lot later than usual... thought this might have been my last day on the job for a little bit, didn't help that my manager and I's one on one was my first meeting of the day heh.
would love for more STEM folks to have spent time reading through the historical development of various non-STEM -isms. At least try to understand what Marx et al. have theorized even if you know you don't subscribe to their solutions.
I am reluctant to say I am glad a comment has been down voted, because I am wary of mob mentality, but in this case I am very glad this comment has been so thoroughly down voted.
this type of article is a pretty well established genre here on hackernews, and for good reason. as I spent yesterday at movies in theatres that were >95% empty I wonder why we don't have as many on film, which seems to be losing its combined battles against TikTok and David Zaslav.
I feel like we're going to look back on the past ten years of EV hype the same way we look at the big tech/social media rise of the obama years -- why were we so completely in the throes of this silver bullet, seeing no downsides to a different set of trade offs...
I'm amazed that we're always only just finding out about this sort of thing... like today. the way it gets reported makes it feel like it's some sort of new innovation that the beetle just came up with, but it really impresses upon you just how much more weirdness nature must have in store for us just in our own backyard.
The reasoning in this article seems specious. Malls and offices are not the locus of the same activities. fwiw I've RTOed for three to four days a week and I love it. I think it will continue to gain currency with a lot of folks who are serious about their work at companies with other employees who are also serious about their work.
"Nothing is changing" -- when the company buying you says this you should be concerned because it only means their strategy is to keep you 100% in the dark about what will change rather than partially.
dropped into this in VSCode this morning and just realized I haven't thought about how I'm using it for at least six hours. appears to be good, actually?
