I think around 2012 there was not a lot of options for an enterprise rally around. Aura was designed and built in the same timeframe as react/angular/ember/etc iirc.

aura was open source for a long time. https://github.com/forcedotcom/aura
cheap tires wear faster than expensive ones in the same category tire. should people who can’t afford slow wearing tires or repaired/used tires be effectively charged more than someone who can afford top of the line?

additionally, most people have probably paid to replace tires worn due to imbalance or other issues. how would that be accounted for?

tires all wear in different ways and for different reasons.

I found this blog post to be quite interesting https://www.lynalden.com/fraying-petrodollar-system/
I wanted to go into ATC training but am too old at 32. Was pretty disappointed by that.
I would love to see separation of sports from other content in this revamp. As someone who doesn't even like/watch soccer, it would be great if 3/4 of the feed wasn't just MLS spam. I am never going to subscribe to that so why is my experience being made infinitely worse :(
Re:FTX – The Fraud Was in the Code on Thursday October 12, 2023 @03:20PM (#37861812)
It is most certainly fraud to lie about protections in place to protect customer assets. That includes backstop insurance and auto-liquidation practices.
Re:FTX – The Fraud Was in the Code on Tuesday October 10, 2023 @10:16AM (#37832416)
If you actually look at the article the very first code sample shows how certain customers (Alameda) are directly exempt from auto liquidation & can carry negative balances at FTX.
this is pretty common from what I have seen. especially with books.
nobody is calling an iphone a budget phone. adding tax and optional accessories to call this a $1k phone is disingenuous
the iphone 15 starts at 799.

Re:The Glorious Return of a Humble Car Feature on Thursday April 27, 2023 @01:43PM (#35731824)
I use carplay in my CX5 and have no issues (my cx5 does not have a touch screen at all, 2022)
if you are driving defensively? you may think there is potential for brake usage in the upcoming section of highway, so you might take your foot off the accelerator and hover the brake just in case. I believe this is pretty common.

at least when I drove a model s this wasn't really possible because the car would slow rapidly when I took my foot off the accelerator. nice to know that can be disabled, ill look for it next time I'm driving a tesla

Re:Tableau has been killed by Salesforce on Tuesday February 14, 2023 @10:17AM (#34790489)
What took over?
Agree. I guess it's self preservation - managers decide who is laid off and are more likely to believe it's the ICs who are unproductive, not the many tiers of middle management who do nothing quantifiable.

Quite hilariously engineers are going to be measured by "productive commits" soon, but I saw no guidance created to measure how managers are providing value

from the article:

For its part, LG saw an incremental increase in water-filter sales when it tracked water volumes on connected fridges versus non-connected fridges, the company told the Journal.

Re:Tesla’s Price Cuts Are Roiling the Car Market on Monday January 23, 2023 @01:11PM (#34492595)
Aren't they just back to prices 2-3 years ago?

Also, do people really think that cutting profit margins is bullish for Tesla?

Re:Solar Panels Reduced My Electric Bill by $2,677 in 2022 on Tuesday January 03, 2023 @02:01PM (#34236245)
1 story, ~1400sqft, built in 1920s reno in 2017..maybe its just insulated really well
Re:Solar Panels Reduced My Electric Bill by $2,677 in 2022 on Tuesday January 03, 2023 @01:35PM (#34235738)
Hottest month for me was aug, I paid around 161

~$135 1190kWh (charged at ~$0.114 / kWh) ~$10.50 tax

~15.50 other fees/riders which can not be recouped with panels

OP is somehow paying ~25c/kWh, though I have to believe they are counting the connections fees etc in their estimate, based on natl averages they would be an outlier for most states. https://www.eia.gov/electricity/state/

Re:Solar Panels Reduced My Electric Bill by $2,677 in 2022 on Tuesday January 03, 2023 @01:30PM (#34235638)
This is a great point. Avg cost for me last year was less than half, around 11c/kWh

Though, https://www.eia.gov/electricity/state/ makes me wonder how you are getting 25c/kWh prices, as author estimates. Maybe higher price tiers due to usage.

Re:Solar Panels Reduced My Electric Bill by $2,677 in 2022 on Tuesday January 03, 2023 @01:17PM (#34235382)
I live in a much hotter and much more humid area than the author does, and my bills are not even remotely close to these. I do run my AC through the summer, probably more than most
Re:Solar Panels Reduced My Electric Bill by $2,677 in 2022 on Tuesday January 03, 2023 @01:01PM (#34235123)
I am surprised at these power bills, at least in my area the implied "savings" are 2-3 times what my bill is on any given month. Huge house maybe?
Re:Bret Taylor out as co-CEO of Salesforce on Thursday December 01, 2022 @01:21PM (#33820283)
Will be interesting to see what Bret works on next, he seems to have done largely a good job at Salesforce in the past two years

I wonder if the co-ceo model will return again.

Re:Spotify CEO renews attack on Apple after Musk's salvo on Wednesday November 30, 2022 @09:43PM (#33811667)
Isn't the argument to add sideloading / other stores to ios? How does installing an alternate store to get a cheaper spotify app compare to installing a PWA?
