  • It’s probably more likely that HR is keeping HR busy, because what else are they supposed to do when the company isn’t hiring?

    I’m not in HR. In my experience there is good HR departments and bad HR departments. In both they were extremely busy all the time. There is a mountain of work HR does that has nothing to do with hiring and firing. Managing employee benefits, compliance with government regulations regarding workplace access, complex rules for reporting, tracking worker complaints and performance improvement plans for workers not meeting expectations.



  • I can think of one valid use case for this unsolved by any other solution:

    Lets say a company has an SoC board base product currently currently base on ARM. They want to eventually migrate to RISC-V based solution.

    If a company has a product currently written to use ARM compiled code, but wants to transition to RISC-V (which isn’t ready yet), they could deploy this board which could run today’s ARM implementation, and it would be future-ready when the RISC-V implementation would be released without having to replace hardware.



  • I think people will read this and come away thinking the IDF operating in Gaza is specifically targeting only journalists. I’m not sure I’d say the same thing.

    It looks like the IDF operating in Gaza is targeting everyone, including itself, the IDF.

    “According to the IDF, as of May 2024, 49 of the 278 Israeli soldiers killed during the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip were killed by friendly fire and in other accidents.[1]” source

    So about 18% of IDF deaths in Gaza are killed by other IDF. If anyone is questioning that data its collected by the IDF and reported in an Israeli newspaper.

    The IDF apparently shoots anything that moves, and that can include Hamas fighters, women, children, the elderly, aid workers from the USA, Palestinians, Britons, and yes journalists.




  • Just because a Ford truck weighs a lot doesn’t mean we shouldn’t address EV tire wear.

    I agree. However, this started with a highlighting of EV tire pollution. Arguably mainstream EVs entered production in 2012. F-150 and other trucks of equal or more weight have been on the road since about the late 1970s. Why is it this is an EV tire pollution discussion only?

    Do a lot of people own trucks that shouldn’t because they don’t use them as trucks? Yes.

    We agree.

    I’d argue that’s a completely different argument.

    How so? Are you arguing that a truck that weighs the same the produces equal tire pollution is okay, but an EV that weighs the same with equal tire pollution isn’t okay?

    This isn’t an EV only issue, but it is highlighted for EVs because they go through tires faster than equivalent sized (not weight) vehicles.

    Isn’t this following the same flawed logic that trucks shouldn’t have to get high MPG efficiency because they are trucks, while ICE cars are held to higher efficiency standards? Your logic seems to suggest we could solve this EV tire pollution problem by simply eliminating EV cars and only driving EV trucks because then they’d get a pass on tire pollution like current ICE trucks do.

    In the end I would hope all vehicles would be equipped with tires that don’t kill aquatic life!

    I agree, but your other statements prior seem to give a pass to ICE (or EV trucks).



  • Why not just compare the model 3 to an 18-wheeler then? Those weigh way more. Would have made his point better.

    And it’s a completely meaningful comparison, as long as you throw away the fact that different vehicles are used for different things.

    They’re designed for different things. While I’ll agree that the many F-150 drivers are using them for their appropriate grade of work or towing, I’m guessing there are more F-150s that are used as grocery-getting-pavement-princesses than all the Tesla Model 3s ever sold.

    In that way, F-150 is identical to Tesla Model 3 as far as use case.
