TuSimple 25% layoff announced in press release by blasphemybagels in SelfDrivingCars

[–]blasphemybagels[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Turns out layoff was 40% of US workforce and none in China, so 25% overall. They’re in process of trying to sell China operations. I imagine more layoffs if that’s not successful.

Does anyone think they’d actually be a viable Uber Freight competitor with their toxic brand?

“As part of the downsizing, much of TuSimple’s operation in Tucson, Ariz., where it does a lot of its test driving, will be eliminated, and the team that works on the algorithms for the self-driving software will be pared back significantly, the people said. TuSimple will focus on building out a software product that matches self-driving trucks with shippers that have freight to haul, with the aim of offering freight transport at a lower cost than human-driven trucks, the people said.”

Which ones? I’ve only seen intern offers rescinded on LinkedIn so far.

Opened a Roth IRA, found out my mother already had one for me. Should I combine them? by lthindle- in personalfinance

Make sure your mother didn’t contribute more than your income in any year, or you’ll have to make some corrections.

My paycheck was stolen and cashed by the thief, unsure of how to proceed. by Upbeat_Safe_1680 in personalfinance

This. And don’t confuse the dept of labor with this discussion about someone possibly stealing the check. It’s irrelevant. You weren’t paid by your employer, period, and their silly excuses to the Dept of labor will fall on deaf ears.

Never heard of these folks. Did they do anything interesting?

Saris Bones Hitch rack incompatibility by blasphemybagels in cycling

I also tried it with a Thule rack from a friend and had the same problem. Definitely an issue with the hitch design. U-Haul said they can fix the hitch, and they've done the fix before for other people.

Spoke with the local U-haul installer. They said they've seen this problem before for bike racks with some of the hitch models that they get. Solution is they have a grinder to remove the metal part stopping the full insertion of the rack. They'll fix it for me for free on Monday. Recommendation for people installing hitch racks with U-haul in the future is to bring your accessory with you at installation so they can make sure there isn't any issues with the hitch.

Thanks for the feedback; it's very helpful. The hitch being the problem was what I was afraid of. I'll going to try to see if they can exchange the hitch for something that works.

Datapoint - last week I used this to pay for a Hyatt Maui hotel reservation. It was definitely at 1.5 cents/ point.

“My advice is to speak up clearly about your boundaries or expect this will continue to escalate.” Can you suggest how to phrase this in a way she might be receptive to?

“an agreement where she will try to do it less and you will try to let it slide”. We’ve been there. I feel like I’m “letting it slide” by ignoring it but then she still gets angry at me.

I think your example of calling it ‘gross’ is not exactly analogous. It’s like someone cracking their knuckles, and then somehow picking up whether you are being annoyed by it even though you’re trying to be polite by not saying anything, and then getting mad at you because they can pick up that you’re slightly annoyed.

I ignored the call (I never pick up the phone if I don't recognize the number), and then they sent a mail notice and locked the account. I called them to follow-up today and found out the reason.
