To add to your comment, ceramic window tint is a night and day difference. My steering wheel, shifter, and all couldn’t be touched after work. I wore driving gloves to get home. With the tint there slightly warm and the AC doesn’t take half the drive to catch up, the car is cool by the first stop light.

Maybe they should sell cars with that by default instead?

SaaS occasionally makes sense but I’m overall against it. Hardware SaaS has been dumb as fuck since AMD tried to charge us extra to unlock cores we already had on the chip and like 6 seconds until we fished out how to get around it.

As a Lemmy and Duck Duck Go user, this is a desired feature!

This all sounds smart to me. I’ll vote for it given the chance.

My daughter has been trying to get me to install this for years. My refusal has been vindicated! I kept telling her I don’t trust it. And she drives like me and her premiums are nuts even for her age and she’s been lucky and has a great driving record.

You’re saying my intentionally over simplified example to get a point across wasn’t perfect? Amazing analysis…

Do you go by the nickname Captain Obvious with your friends?

It takes a ton of bravery to be a whistle blower when others aren’t dying like 80 year old diabetes patients. It’ll take even more now, and I hope there are more. Boeing needs to be kicked in the bags.

Thank you, I can’t take credit for it. I got it out of the book Everybody Lies.

That was a great read! Not something I’ve heard of before. Thank you!

And yeah it’s related for sure.

Don’t be fooled by randomness. Randomness comes in clumps. For example if you flipped a thousand coins every day for a year and measured how each one predicted the stock market, heads for up, tails for down, at the end of the year you’ll likely have one coin that far out performs the average. But would you use that coin to determine your investment strategy the next year?

And yeah Boeing is now killing people outside of their planes.

For reals! Then the young races introduce themselves and we demand they dab as an introduction lol

Yup, all the evidence scientists point to agree that if anything we are early to the party.

And painful if it’s like that. Meeting twice a week is not agile, Janet! Lol

I’m not sure they do have anything that looks like typical corporate America, but I don’t know a lot more. I know at Microsoft everybody reported to him and from what I’ve been able to piece either that’s not changed we Valve. But he obviously doesn’t “manage” everybody, so how he does it I’m not sure.

Most organizations are just a dictatorship by another name if we use the definition in The Dictators Handbook which states keep your essentials and influentials small in quantity so you can pay them for results. A democratic environment those groups are many so you can only win them over with policy and influence. I feel like he runs his organization like the second but I want to know more. A lot more.

Organizational structure can be seen as just style points. Gabe Newell of Valve famously does not do organizational structure. He didn’t when he worked at Microsoft and he doesn’t now. It’s also been said per capita/employee no other tech company makes as much money as Valve.

I hope he writes a book about it or something. As an executive at a large organization I’d love to know more and try to run my division like he does. But I don’t want to just make it up as I go along…

This is fantastic! Thank you for putting in the work.

Back in things like Google maps and phone assistant were new there had to be YouTube competitions to see which was better at a given set of tasks. I say that say maybe this is your way to Internet fame?

I think I’m alright with that though lol.

Those are bothersome, plus it’s less about collaborating and networking more and far more a channel for sales people to find you and try to sell you stuff. “Hey, let’s connect and be friends, wanna see my SaaS?”

I want #3 the most.

And it’s still cheaper once you include haircuts. Speaking from experience.
