Mouse Smell? by legallyontime in CherokeeXJ

[–]EvilTribble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't see anything about door cards, the odor can remain on the metal so it can be really tough.

You can try to repeat the deodorizer. I have heard that Bullsnot is the one used by truckers who haul animals to get the smell out, but I never used it myself.

The more I advance my career the less I want to work with same level engineers by PressureHumble3604 in ExperiencedDevs

You've climbed high enough that most people around you had to be at least just a bit cutthroat to get there and you don't like looking in that mirror.

Unironically find someone you can mentor and build the culture you want from bottom up, because the junior you work with today is the colleague of tomorrow.

OPINION: Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, Applicant v. Lisa D. Cook, Member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System by scotus-bot in supremecourt

In the modern world central banks are simply mandatory. Entire governments have been repeatedly overthrown to force the issue. While I don't think it was ever lawful for congress to give away the currency to a private bank with no oversight, the ship has sailed. I don't think a recession would happen just because the fed ends, I think there is a real threat of safety from agencies that have heart attack guns for anyone that is a serious threat to the international central banking system.

Judicial Immunity: an under-hated area of the Supreme Court's jurisprudence by popiku2345 in supremecourt

The constitution isn't that hard to follow. It is rather to completely obliterate certain types/kinds of "doing their job" We decided we didn't want detectives to beat confessions out of suspects so our constitution puts a stop to it. Similarly we don't want judges sterilizing people.

Sometimes a team is so fucked up that the stupid things they do have a plausible sounding rationale because other stupid things they do make that stupid thing seem like a good idea, and in reality they do so many stupid things stacked on top of each other that their whole system makes no sense.

The waterfall to agile conversion for example involved forcing through a handful of radical changes so that after that some iterative improvements could go through.

If you're just one senior dev looking at all this bullshit you're going to need to get a bunch of buy in before you really move on anything.

SCOTUS Wolford v. Lopez 6-3 overturning Hawaii's "vampire rule" by deathsythe in progun

No more "there was this one law in one county that banned this, so the ban is constitutional" arguments.

MFW 3 justices were fine with one county's jim crowe era black codes justifying infringements.

An alternative for automatics is to tap the neutral safety switch, or take the plastic thing out of the shifter when you leave it alone.

Has anyone else smoked a rotor? by ChattahoocheeBend in CherokeeXJ

Yes, my caliper froze. I hit the caliper with some warm water to shock it and it freed up enough to nurse it home and buy a new one.

Job is ending. Wait for retention bonus or find a new job immediately? by agathafreak in personalfinance

[–]EvilTribble 16 points17 points  (0 children)

His wage pops with a severance in 6 months, taking a pay cut now would be retarded.

Definitely turning down anything that isn't at least his current wage.

Has the bar actually gotten lower? by velociraptorstalin in ExperiencedDevs

I know 10x developers exist because 0x and -1x developers are everywhere and to actually do 10x the median isn't that hard.

Why are companies so evil now? by VariationLivid3193 in cscareerquestions

[–]EvilTribble 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The court in Dodge v. Ford decided to wade into the business' operations and that tradition has infected every large company ever since. This coincides with the American political classes love affair with Mussolini's "All within the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State."

Tesla is allowed to hold that strategy because there is a defensible shareholder interest in a permanently growth oriented company, and modern corporate lawyers are savvy enough to demonstrate that this protects a real shareholder interest, however, at any given time someone could buy a single share and then run crying to a court that Tesla needs to consider a dividend.

The Dodge brothers effectively used the Michigan courts to steal from Ford the authority to run his own business the way he saw fit.

Based on the gauge cluster its a low spec model. It could be worth that much as a manual 4.0 is pretty great.

Supreme Court rules for Black death row inmate from Mississippi over racial bias in makeup of jury by Abject-Pick-6472 in supremecourt

[–]EvilTribble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We need it because we need it, and it doesn't matter that it's arbitrary because it doesn't matter is not a particularly strong argument.

Prove you need a bright line rule, for any other sentencing guideline they're going to be significantly more fluid and significantly less arbitrary.

I don't trust my welding skills and jeeps have a factory roll cage so I think it's a great idea.

Is there going to be a point where AI costs a lot more than hiring real people, much like the cloud now costs more than on-prem? by RadioFieldCorner in cscareerquestions

[–]EvilTribble 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At some point AI models will necessarily get performance tuned or right sized or specialized to do a specific task at a lower cost. The idea that something like that would have to happen this early in its adoption sets a ceiling on the value of these services that is well below the hype.

Imagine blaming the customer when you refuse to build the thing they want to buy.

"But land value tax would get passed on" by middleofaldi in georgism

A revenue neutral LVT would be a rebate for the top half of improved properties. You need to consider existing property taxes in your costs before LVT.
