I've spent $15 000 this month. Most of it isn't code, I'm vibe coding a K8s cluster from scratch and having endless discussions trying to debug network latency.

Yes, but it's a local maximum since hiring more people is going to be expensive/difficult until overtime is fixed. Some state prisons have escaped the overtime pit by offering huge sign-on …

The USA has time and a half overtime above 40 hours as well under the FLSA. This applies to ATC. Unfortunately, this is now priced into certain government jobs in the USA and people rely on it. Americ…

A third runway for Heathrow was formally proposed in 2007 and is projected for completion in 2040. This is an airport so overburdened people are buying and trading slots. This isn't a Kubernetes …

4.5 stars was for the ride. I didn't taste the Erewhon smoothie and can't rate it.

There's a special excise tax on gasoline for highway and road maintenance. EVs don't pay that tax because they use normal electricity. So Alberta introduced a $200 EV fee to match the averag…

From the article, OP dealt with this. > But what do you do when the enterprise you are selling to asks you to show that pen-test report (which you never did despite paying for it, because Delve tol…

I've packed my own parachute for this hypothetical situation.

To be honest, I don't know how to convert freedom units to km/h. I based my estimate on the Waymo going slower than other cars and the city speed limit in Toronto being 50 km/h, and I t…

In this case, the other car didn't run the stop sign. It waited at the stop sign like it was making a turn, then suddenly entered the intersection when the Waymo was 5-10 meters away, despite not…

He said it was overpriced but bought it again from a different Erewhon so I assumed he liked it (Canadian understatement). There's apparently a quality gap between locations. The pre-Waymo one wa…

It looks like YouTube Music was only added in October? I took the ride in September. https://support.google.com/waymo/answer/16623742?hl=en …

Thanks! Now I know why the Waymo didn't slow down.

There is no tech talent in Canada due to the pay/tax difference and TN1 is good for SWEs. e.g. Nobody at my office has heard of Gas Town yet. I had to get an invite to a predominantly American Te…

Here is a photo I took inside of the Waymo outside of an Erewhon. Going to Erewhon and experiencing the $20 Hailey Bieber smoothie was on my brother's bucket list and riding in a Waymo was on min…

It wasn't possible to stop at the speed the Waymo was moving at. The Waymo didn't have the stop sign, the other driver did, at a three way intersection. The other driver decided to suddenly …

> If cut off they absolutely will go full brake rather than perform any sort of spicy lane change or turn. Essentially, a meat driver was waiting at a stop sign to make a turn onto the main road. I…

This was in September, so I'm happy to see the change!

Waymo saved my life in LA. When I visited LA, I rode in a Waymo going the speed limit in the right lane on a very busy street. The Waymo approached an intersection where it had the right of way, when …

It's trivial to move to the USA on a TN1 from Canada compared to any other visa category. If you have a job letter, you show up to the airport and CBP can issue it immediately. This includes soft…

The regulation is single family zoning. Zoning makes it impossible to stack high rise apartment buildings in the areas that people want to live in.

In the 1930s and 1940s, Mexico wanted to invade Texas and reverse the Mexican American war.
