This is right. Then "true cost" requires a rabbit hole of business expense write-offs, fixed v. marginal costs, speed, comfort, (sub-)leasing, which airport you fly into, O&M strat…

Don't be that guy. You can't compare flying private, let alone commercial to riding Amtrak. Amtrak doesn't get priority reliably enforced outside the Northeast and the delays are l…

I don't think I am. I made a distinction between people who have the self-esteem muscle (healthy) and those who subscribe to unsustainable, toxic positivity (unhealthy).

That's the point. The grandparent said Rocket doesn't slip into despair, not tries not to slip. That's unrealistic and tracks with toxic positivity. If everyone had the muscle to p…

Even if they wouldn't have made the 32 team bracket, these Cinderella stories are propaganda like the NCAA uses to monetize "student athletes". It's an excuse to squeeze more money…

Not really. In practice, skipping the line is THE approach. How many times do you hear people say to fill out online job postings? Never. It's just scaring off good/bad candidates …

Use it in your favor. You just have to get past the recruiter/talent acquisition where everyone else is getting auto-rejected. You should be doing that anyway.

You forgot your $3 payout from the class action lawsuit when the company STILL gets hacked and the exec bonus pool increases because the settlement wasn't "that" bad.

Liebreich hates green/hydrolysis because it's much more expensive (due to inefficiencies) and wasteful of green electrons compared to final consumption alternatives.

Reads like a hallucinated writeup to me.

Yes. Biden did it in his last month. Disregard this parent's bias. As I mentioned above, it's not fringe to ban Chinese hardware for security concerns. They've been surreptitiously…

"Silly? Pretend?" You might want to re-evaluate your political bias. There is precedent. And it's not just the US that's concerned about Chinese stealth tech. [0] https://www.reute…

Did you mean to reply to a different comment? I don't see any of those on the mozillafoundation page, per @andsoitis.

Good luck. The renewables overbuild required to firm baseload demand for a datacenter is insane. You need something like 4x solar and 1.5x storage in a 10hr battery. Respectfully, …

I agree directionally and appreciate your effort. I might just be misunderstanding and wrong, which forgive me if you feel like that's the case. I just don't find the author's poin…

Profits still ain't easy. Cheap gas is great, but 2.67GW of new build natural gas in this market will cost $6-8 billion in fixed costs. You need wholesale pricing of ~$50-60/MWh ..…

You left out: > ask them for permission I humbly submit you're still glossing over this. This framing is subtle. There's a difference between getting a peer review from your boss a…

That's part of my point. I'm assuming you don't disagree that this "lighting a fuse" approach on something you're unsure about without manager approval (and you think you need thei…

You know the "no response" happens all the time. OK. I'm your pointy haired boss Thursday morning. > Hey, @waisbrot. You didn't mention anything in your note whether you got a resp…

> The only place you're in disagreement is that you don't see any room for nuance when something is your job but worth notifying the boss about in advance. You read a different art…

No. It's just CYA hedging. If it's your job (per the "context"), then do it. When you ask this question, it's either A. escalating/DoA exception (not your authority) B. Or giving y…

Oh, so it's a live blog with updates and a dynamic headline.

Rest doesn't make sense either with the parent's tautologies and self-counters. They seem to argue for it and raise the challenges. ~"Speed doesn't matter unless you need it." ~"LL…
