I think it's both contact and wire resistance. It is technically possible to solder a new connector on. LTT did that in a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzwrLLg1RR4

The newsletter is much better than the posted article. It's a detailed critique and discusses alternatives. Efinancialcareers posts a lot of low effort blog posts.

You can custom order electric versions of random gas vehicles. Toyota can make an EV. https://www.zelectricmotors.com/tesla-porsche https://www.electricclassiccars.co.uk/

It's not just extras. Jet Li turned down The Matrix Reloaded because they were requiring that he also sell the rights to the martial arts moves used.

> Nowadays, it's obvious to me that it's my responsibility to make it easy for them to see that I am good. That's what practice is - it's you working on your ability to articulate …

I don't think that's a fair example. I'm not sure what it's like to run a small business in California. But the answer to that situation is progressive taxation, and California has…

Is Netflix really that bad? They aggressively state they quickly fire people. But I've also seen reports that their turnover rate is low, and they don't have a PIP culture. It look…

Personally I'd really like to use that screen with google maps.

I'm not familiar with the rules. But if you train AI on customer data you might end up with something that looks like front-running.

Manufacturers and retailers will also change models for sales. Black Friday sales are sometimes cheaper, lower quality versions. Discount clothing retailers sometimes get items mad…

And telling IT to support a new operating system company wide could be an expensive decision.

Republicans are following the Two Santas strategy. The democratic Santa is increased social spending. The Republican Santa is cutting taxes during their administration. The debt ce…

I'm at a FAANG adjacent company and we do hire older ICs. Though I wouldn't want to be interviewing right now. Senior level interviews can be demanding, and junior positions hard t…

It could make sense. I'm assuming they will be doing actual work during that time. A paid 12 month long apprenticeship would be good for both parties. It's enough time for Meta to …

Access control isn't great if an engineer was able to transfer vaults to a personal plex server.

Top tech companies could reduce comp by lowering hiring bars and wages. They don't think it's worth the cost.

Twitter is private, but Elon definitely destroyed value when he took it over.

Trust and Safety is an extraordinarily difficult problem to handle at scale. Ideally guidelines should be public and applied consistently. That's a high standard. Elon came in sayi…

Information being false or libelous is another reason to ban someone. That makes it more hypocritical that LibsOfTikTok was unbanned but ElonJet was banned.

FSD marketing has always seemed sketchy to me. Though I like Open Pilot. It's a much smaller scope for an L2 system to keep you in your lane and keep you a safe distance from the n…

She started in June, she then quit shortly after Elon took over, then she was convinced to come back.

Yes, Elon's takeover of Twitter is a hot culture war topic. Sites would run that story.

It was also at a Chappelle show. His Netflix special was controversial. I'd expect the audience would be more supportive of Elon than the general public.

The scale of hiring at FAANG companies is on another level. Google's summer intern class is probably much larger than the number of FTEs at my current job. They need to contact ten…

I'd say it depends on the company. Silicon Valley likes to promote on impact. So being able to communicate that impact is a valuable skill.
