Every single manager I’ve had continued to be a solid IC. The only difference is that they had a larger portion of the vote when we decided what we wanted to work on but we were all in the trenches together.

This is fear mongering disguised as concern. Tesla publishes data about incident rates for drivers both on and off autopilot and they are markedly lower than other drivers.

What if you control for demographic factors? I'd expect that new drivers and the elderly have accidents at a much higher rate than the average driver and also have low Tesla ownership rates.

Edit: I see they do have base rate w/o autopilot listed and it does significantly differ from national average.


The families I know with very expensive sedans often drive their other vehicle in snowy weather.

Hey @daxaxelrod! I'm one of the cofounders of Lago, the lib will be opened very soon, we're in the final steps of QA, that's why. I will make sure to ping you back here when it is. We wanted to share this post about our first-hand experience with billing a bit ahead of this. Thanks for your patience!


Hi! Cool, can't wait to poke around. I've used killbill https://github.com/killbill previously and would be interested in your offering.


Will ping you asap!


Was there ever a layoff/pay cut in those 15 years?


Just to clarify, when they say "100%" of need, is that exclusively grants/scholarships or does that also include loans?


This reinforces my core belief that people, if given the opportunity, love a good button mashing app.


There’s a game called Sand Balls that is incredibly therapeutic. It’s not hard, and doesn’t have too many annoying upsells. Just physics fun.
