As someone struggling to quite literally fit into a similar role (have both words in official job title), I also feel most large company culture's are naturally poised to be at conflict with these roles!

When I was in HH, I loved the monthly pass offered by my employer (65€/month); the ability to travel longer distances over S-Bahn and taking +1 with you was killer/super-smart feature IMO. Miss those in states sorely.

I wish most, if not all, of the world adopts the german style public transport system.

If I were to take your examples; range hood is the seatbelt; what this legislation is doing is telling driving “too unsafe; everyone must take train”.

Or too take cigarettes example; ban cigarette sales completely instead of banning smoking indoors.

I hope you see the nuance now.

Where did I say that? I’m saying there is no need for restricting gas range installations via legislation.

If the goal is to fight health risks there’s way to mitigate those risks scientifically in other ways that allows people to keep their preferences. Just saying “science” in a sentence doesn’t make your point scientifically valid, we don’t need to turn science into religion.

Well then the solution is to mandate a hood that cleans the said toxic gas/es out. And if we were being serious at all; there is always a habitability clause in the rental agreements which can be used to mandate the hoods where gas ranges exists. No new laws/regulations needed.

But those would be too good of solutions and spoil the current sneaky plan. Too many goal posts are shifting for justifying a performative-feel-good-climate fight (the point the top-level comment is trying to make).

There is no pure free-market anywhere (and it's a good thing). Let's not justify govt overreach in the garb of imperfect market-capitalism.

I’m gonna take your comment at it’s most charitable interpretation instead of getting hung up on your unnecessary emotional first line. There exists a lot of culinary processes outside of one’s personal bubble.

Please let me know what you’re willing to bet and we’ll take this forward.

I also _rent_. I hate food cooked on electric stoves, so when I was looking to rent, anything that dint have gas stove was automatic non-starter for me.

This whole argument that “you oppose a forced choice so you must hate poor people” is just a straw-man. Just because you prefer things one way doesn’t mean govt has a business telling me how I should cook my food.

The argument that crypto is not gambling just because some coins reported >0% returns is rather weak.

The first definition of Gambling I found;

> the act of playing for stakes in the hope of winning (including the payment of a price for a chance to win a prize).

2.a They sold some of the assets bought at step #1 at a loss (dont know why). 2.b Flubbed the PR game while trying to raise to cover the loss 2.c Bank run!

I did not even know this person until today, and I just learned he is living EXACT life I dreamt of (as a kid).

This person deserves a lot of kudos irrespective of HN finding his work "necessary" OR "worthy". There is a joy in solving a problem (scratch an itch) for the sake of it.

Interesting, I thought unlogged tables meant they dont get get WAL-ed and stored on FS at all.

Any further reading you can suggest?

The FSD Beta system may cause crashes by allowing the affected vehicles to: “act unsafe around intersections, such as traveling straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane, entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop, or proceeding into an intersection during a steady yellow traffic signal without due caution,” according to the notice on the website of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Does anyone have insights on what QA looks like at Tesla for FSD work? Because all of these seem table-stakes before even thinking about releasing the BETA FSD.
