Many sole proprietorships registered and individuals in my area have these loans. I suspect this was a major contributor to inflation.
For example, a neighbor who owns several franchised restaurants received a few million in PPP loans. But during COVID he also bought a Cirrus Vision Jet. Very suspicious.
The PPP loan program is a borrower self-certified program. Meaning the gov't did absolutely nothing to ensure funds actually went to payroll.
If you have some evidence of their brilliance you can post it now.
There’s a good reason this is being posted now.
Your astroturfing should have begun months ago.
Trump and his colleagues are trying to reduce spending by cutting payments to things deemed unnecessary. Some feel the process in which they do this is questionable and opaque.
I think the Trump admin should really spend some effort in addressing the American people on what has transpired with DOGE. What their process is, how their feedback loop looks like, etc.
Trump forgets that “half” the country did not vote for him. And he needs to appease these people if he wants to leave office with an incoming Republican. Which is probably his goal, otherwise everything he did will be reversed.
Musk et al lack professionalism, and understandably makes everyone uneasy. Keep in mind the media is painting a very bad one-sided picture.
Also it shouldn’t be a requirement to have to monitor X/twitter to understand what is happening.
P.S. Only cowards downvote.
> 2. More importantly, the pilots and ATC folks speak excessively quickly and do not enunciate at all.
Multiple aircraft’s one frequency. Need to speak short to allow other potentially higher priority calls. Also take a moment to read: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/fs_html/...
Of course in practice there are deviation's from the phraseology.
I do agree the DC ATC audio is very poor. Not all ATC communication is that poor. And often it is quite clear especially once you get use to how radio calls are made.
A bug right now on Windows 11 is if you use a USB switch too fast on windows it breaks USB. Disconnecting the switch or reconnecting the devices to the host doesn’t fix it. Only a hard reboot of Windows will bring the USB stack back online.
> The guys featured in this gross and irresponsible hit piece by Wired, by all accounts, are brilliant engineers. Top 1%.
Where’s the proof of this?
Some trades are more physically demanding on the body. I was thinking more along the lines of any field that requires a gov't license like nurse/counselor/barber/pharmacist/CPA/lawyer/administrator/teacher/air traffic controller/operator of some heavy machinery.
Any field that requires a certification and cannot be done from a computer is worth looking into.
This is really great work!
> On top of that, forcing everyone to commute up to an hour each way is a blatant disregard for people's personal time.
Commuting is dangerous and stressful. Stressed employees cannot perform their best. It is in a company's best interest to reduce stress and danger.
What makes a DOGE applicant so special?
This is proof that people will downvote to silence things they don't like. This is a gross abuse of the spirit of HN. The statement above was factual.
Trump was elected, and Elon was appointed by Trump?
Thanks for this info. This is paid.

from the ask-hn dept.
I hired a software engineering intern with a decent resume for an undergrad. I decided to give them a chance after an in-person interview. It's been about a year, and they still haven’t completed a single task in Jira. At first, I thought the tasks might be too complicated, so I assigned something simpler. I even asked about their interests and assigned a task accordingly. When that didn’t...
It would be an interesting experiment ditch the Roundcube or any web UI to decrease the attack surface.
Apple innovative edge has always been taking existing technologies and applying that right layer of UX on top. I think they need to really take a step back and figure out what that right layer is.
I haven't seen Meta's AI assistant incorporated to the Quest 3. There is a lot of low hanging fruit there.
Perhaps the answer isn't Siri or summarizing or whatever else they had planned. Perhaps the entire interface needs to be rethought. To me this is more like the switch from text-based to graphical. They're missing the Alto to copy from this time.
I would like to see renewed focus on supporting the user to be able to customize the UI to their liking. This is sorely missed in design systems and web apps. Everything is GitHub at the whims of a UX designer that did some “research”.
This was a fun read. I would amend the title to change "Agile" to "Scrum".
It's certainly impressive. I would like to know if it could search multiple airlines directly to find the best price and best route based on my personal preferences. For example, I don't like earlier flights unless it is ~60% cheaper. And if it can handle check-in for me so I don't have to be logging in 24 hours before, and if I am offered an upgrade, it could automatically purchase.
Is your mainboard the same as the CM3588 carrier board [1] that has been re-layout to match the form factor you wanted or did you have to make other modifications?
The part I am most interested in is the 'powertrain' and how it manages battery charging.

Another tool, although I have only anecdotal evidence, is f.lux and similar software.
The real money is in converting sites with plugins and retaining the functionality which in many cases isn’t static. The copying of data to another tool is the easy part.
Make some generalizations about a process and omit the obvious solution as pointed out in the comments is a good way to get some engagement.
I am skeptical about the environmental claim.
