Consequential Efficiency
Nina learned a valuable lesson that day: never show your boss how much time you actually need to produce results.

Is this the end of cheap Europe flights? France proposes EU-wide minimum price
We should just stop exempting airlines from taxes. There's no reason why kerosene should not be taxed.

Tesla Buys German Railway Line to Host Passenger Trains at Gigafactory
A commuter train from Erkner (which is well connected to the greater Berlin network) to the factory, running 54 times a day while coopting the existing industrial rail the factory needs anyway seems much more reasonable than using a bus shuttle service.
Kind of makes me think that Elon had no say in this decision.

Google layoffs: Sundar Pichai-led company fires entire Python team for ‘cheaper labour’
Cheaper labour in the most expensive town in a country that is well known for high labour costs?

I understand not only the what, but the why

I see that as a kind of professional fu to Elon. As in "We know we need to call it X now, but since nobody actually does that, we'll also add the actual name".

I think we should consider the feelings of Hexbear users when posting or commenting.
If you think they'll dislike it, it's probably a good post.

Anon reinvents something dark
Not to defend the Nazis here, but working prisoners to death predates them by a couple millenia. They just did it on an unprecedented scale.
Ironically, what the Nazis did in the extermination camps was mass executions, i.e. the very thing anon finds wasteful.

TIL eating 1 gram polar bear liver can be fatal due to an overdose of vitamin A that makes your skin fall off
The reason that polar bear liver has toxic levels of vitamin A is that seal liver does and polar bears eat those.
So don't eat seal liver either.

IRS will pilot free, direct tax filing in 2024
Reply in thread
Not American, bit my understanding is that filling taxes in the US is complicated and confusing to the point where most people use paid software to do it. There is an obvious lobby of tax filing software companies keeping it that way.

I had some that looked exactly like this
I remember showing up for tenth grade, looking at the list of assigned classrooms in the first day of the school year. Instead of the usual the digit number, it said "C1". My classmates showed up, and we're just as confused as I was.
The C turned out to be short for "container", which we found in a corner of the school grounds.
That said, being able to quickly go outside in every break was pretty neat. And the school actually did get a second building only a few years later.

Yes, but that doesn't mean it's not their wealth.
I'd be very interested to see the legal construct they created that allows him to just gift tons of money to his mother for no return.
