marcus brownlee did a great review of their car (not this one specifically). I recommend everyone take the time to watch it if they're interested. He's a big tesla fanboy but definitely gives lucid a LOT of credit on things they do better than tesla. Came off as very balanced and fair
> The company’s silence on the incident is a particularly dramatic reflection of a core dynamic in America’s new space race: The unspoken truth that human lives are at play at every level.
???? Does a company need to make an announcement or public statement for every incident that occurs at work?
There are risks at every job. How is this even an article-worthy?
the more empathy you can learn to have, the more likely you'll listen and understand where people are coming from. if you find yourself leaning too much to one side of things whether it's politics or something else, then you might be in an echochamber and aren't hearing what the other side is really saying.
that was my favorite podcast, but he did say that he stays away from it because it's meant for people who need it as an immunosuppresant
that is honestly one of the cooler perks i've heard of
ikr? just because a few got bored doesn't mean it's what everyone else if feeling. if anything, i'm addicted more than ever and i hate it. my productivity has exponentially gotten worse in the last 10 years of using youtube.
completely missed that. thanks for sharing.
crazy that some people have no clue they contribute 0 value in what they say, am i right?
"It might be that many software business models don't work when engineers cost $400k/year."
followed by
"TIL some software engineers making $400k view themselves as Marx's proletariat."
I'm getting the feeling that most devs here agree that SWEs don't need to make that much.

context: https://twitter.com/typesfast/status/1536406121249796096I'm new to this field and always thought that SWE (at least the good ones) most definitely add value in exponential multiples over the 400k value but maybe I'm delusional by all the VC speak over twitter. Does he have a point and that we're mostly overpaid? Hope to hear some good points from experienced devs.
appreciate it. i'll keep that in mind.
damnit, i wanted this to be in /ask
how do i delete this?

if you build a product solely based on what people think they want/need, you will fail.
LinkedIn isn't perfect, but it fills a gap and that's to help find people jobs. If you create another social app but without the incentive of people making posts about w/e the fuck they want to post about it, it's going to be boring and not active.
edit: to be clear, i hate the cringiness of LI as well, but it's a necessary evil.
chill out. you seem so sure of everything in life that i doubt you'll really hear out other thoughts. enjoy your echo chamber life, cheers.
this has got to be the dumbest response i've ever seen on HN. congratulations.
