  • It just creates a very specific language of what is mentioned and how emphatically things are expressed and how things are formulated.

    We wish him all the best in his future endeavors: he sucks

    We wish him continued success in his career: he was a good employee.

    We all regret his decision to leave and look forward to maybe work with him in the future: he was an outstanding employee.









  • I have never once have had trouble with the climate system in a car (got my first one in 2004, a 98 VW Polo), so 20 years of ownership total. It’s definitely not the criteria I would use to chose a vehicle, but you are of course free to use whatever criteria you want to select yours.

    Using my phone as a key is gloriously convenient, one less thing to carry and care about.

    And if knobs were cheaper, rest assured every manufacturer would use them.

    Thanks for your answer, I see we value very different things in cars.








  • Absolutely.

    • AI can write boilerplate code and test cases with a failure rate so low that it saves a significant amount of time. It’s also good summarizing text, like a 1 month old back and forth support ticket. Probably other uses too, but those are the ones I use a lot.
    • Cloud is a huge accelerator for any company that doesn’t want or can’t afford to hire dedicated experts. Plus for workloads with big peaks and valleys it is actually much cheaper.
    • Screens show navigation, provide entertainment and allow changing complex setting much more easily than other UIs. (turning volume down is not a complex setting)
    • Teslas have incredible performance per dollar (in a straight line) and are very fun to drive daily. Also their software and charging network are great. And are cheap to maintain (and to buy used).
    • Ads allow content to be consumed without monetary exchange while still paying the workers creating that content in money instead of exposure.
    • same for paywalls, journalism is very important for society and good journalists deserve a good paycheck. Paywalls allow to have well paid journalists without billionaires sponsoring (manipulating) and allowing people who don’t like ads to still have access to their work.
