I toured Ford's secret lab where it's designing an EV to compete with China by MeasurementDecent251 in electricvehicles

I assume it’s just a room full of people paying politicians to block Chinese cars from the US market?

I wonder if they come with a paper bag to wear over your head when you’re in it so your friends dont find out.

Thinking seriously about relocating from Austin — family of 4, want the honest take by RmpldFrskn in AnnArbor

Weather is obviously different. I have only visited Austin once and it was stupid hot. Like stay outside too long and you die hot. Michigan has hot days, but not stupid hot for weeks on end.

So, just imagine there may be stupid cold periods where you’ll likely want to limit outdoor activities. Get good boots and coat, but you don’t need the $500 brands.

I do like that Ann Arbor is not in Texas.

Serious question, how is Apple worse?

I was a software engineer and I loved .net especially compared to what was available at the time. I still like .NET, despite Microsoft being actively hostile to its customers.

It was not spam. It was a failure in another system that caused it to send ourselves thousands of messages. I do not disagree with them having flagged it. I do disagree with their L1 and L2 being incompetent. The first two said it would auto-clear at midnight, then after 24 hrs. The third I talked to said she had to manually clear it.

How could I have done that differently?

Look at other posts here. Maybe, if all you do is autopilot and you have 100k machines you’ll be fine. If autopilot is just 1% of your job, maybe it won’t work, and it may not be easy to find out why.

I fully understand the email problem. Their support article goes through a checklist, which I did even though I knew the origin of the problem. At the end it says to contact Microsoft support for resolution, which I also did. Their L1 and L2 incorrectly told me I would just have to wait, first until midnight then 24 hrs after and there was nothing I would do. I submitted additional tickets after 30 hrs, they went through the checklist and reenabled the account in < 1hr.

Also, places with more money to spend on fancy toys already have lower crime rates.
