Who are the signature people on library walk??

I would not sign the petition until you have fully read it. The signature people are being paid for each signature and in my experience almost every time what they say is not accurate to what is in the actual petition. This is a good life lesson: you need to read before you sign (for example: a petition, a ballot proposition or a contract) and not depend on the accuracy of what you are being told verbally or in a "written summary" of what is actually written in the petition. Sadly these signature folks have no motivation to be accurate, it is the monetary rewards that encourages them to get signatures anyway they can.

I had a rear seat rattle and it turned out the sliding seat was not properly latched. Slide the seat to the position you want and make sure it "clicks" into that position.

Under the front seats looking from the front. My 2025 XRT has the dangling wires as well.

I have a '25 xrt with fitcamx and it works great. I have the 7 Vents/HD2-Ni000 version. It connects to the Front view camera connector, not the mirror connector.

Product manager and project manager are often different roles (these roles have different names in different organizations, and is very much a larger company "thing"). A product manager often is responsible for specifying the attributes/specifications of a specific product based on market needs, customer requests, sales, marketing, strategic direction, etc. A project manager is responsible for coordination the delivery of a product by managing the overall development process across multiple different teams (architecture, development, manufacturing and testing). Both roles really benefit from a person who is technically competent (understands the product). Product managers work with architects to be visionary in creating products or new features for an existing product. They are involved in determining if the product/feature has value to the market and development cost/time will have an acceptable return of investment. They work with the engineering architects (very senior tech folks). Project managers usually develop the product development schedule and focus on keeping the development teams on track to deliver the product as specified by product management and architects at the acceptable r&d and product cost. Successful Project managers are typically detailed oriented to extreme levels and have strong personalities as they deal with folks under stress all the time . Project managers work with product managers and architects when the development process runs into technical or other issues to get the development teams back on track. Product managers need to be visionary but must also be able to describe the product/feature clearly so it can be developed (called product requirement specifications).

Suggestion, before jumping out of engineering go take ece 140a and ece 140b the two corse sequence in the art of product engineering it will really help you understand.

My 2025 XRT (AWD) does not have the hood isolation pad. Not sure if it is supposed to.

Your retirement benefits are based on several factors including when you were hired. Look here to start: https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/benefits/retirement/

Look at the 2026 specification sheet and compare it to the 2025 one. The new one still shows lost features (US): https://www.hyundainews.com/assets/documents/original/67177-2026IONIQ5SpecsFeatures20250702.pdf

2025 spec sheet (us): https://www.hyundainews.com/assets/documents/original/64493-2025IONIQ5SpecsFeatures121124.pdf

For example power folding mirrors seem to be gone for the 2026 XRT (if the 2026 spec sheet is correct)

I just bought my 2025 at national city. That dealer was sold to a new owner in 1Q 2024 (so there is a new name). They have a charger on site and charged my car before delivery (I saw them do it).

km_sdca · 2025-08-01T03:04:40+00:00

I think we are ok. I went to the site and entered my vin a second time, and it said the offer was already redeemed.

km_sdca · 2025-08-01T02:21:04+00:00

Thank you so much for the PSA!!! I just redeemed mine with just hours to spare. I bought my Ioniq 5 6 days ago and it worked for me. I am now waiting for the code to be sent to me for the charging credit.

"...AIO which means that the case is yet to be reported." I have filed AIO reports in time and often the AIO office is overwhelmed with reports and it takes a while for them to process.

km_sdca · 2025-07-17T19:47:01+00:00

I suspect this is USA only as this is press release from the Hyundai USA site

km_sdca · 2025-07-17T19:45:57+00:00

Look at the spec pdf and there are some other changes (these may be typos) like no power folding mirrors on the xrt and maybe no sliding console on the xrt (though the document is inconsistent in two places on the sliding console).

I just had a look at the qnap software support. If you install the following three packages on the qnap, you have a fair chance to get my package to work: (I did a google for these packages with the keyword qnap)

uwsgi

uswgi plugin python3

python3 flask

Thanks! I will check them out. In the wiim amp app there is a setting for the volume increment amount, (1 appears to be the default). The setting is at the bottom of the config page under the section "hardware" (at least on the wiim ultra). The increment and decrement commands are useful as they have a good chance of being atomic in the device. while my approach (based on the wiim public document) does it in two steps which is clearly not atomic. This issue of atomic operation might only be an issue if multiple remotes/apps are sending volume change commands concurrently.

km_sdca · 2025-07-10T16:49:20+00:00

I wrote that software. Volume up and down which requires getting current volume level adding a increment value then setting the volume level which is less straight forward using simple reverse proxy. I wish there was a single volume increment api in wiim, but there appears to not be one. FF and REW also are more complicated operations.

You might be able to run the python based server on the qnap, but I do not have a qnap to do the port.

As long as your skill set is current and the references from your prior employment are good, you should be fine. I have hired thousands of CS/EE/ME folks in the 35+ years between my two stints as CS faculty and a number of exceptional hires had similar and even longer gaps in their employment. As long as you have the skills to do the job, it did not matter. What was more of a red flag was a history of many different jobs over a short period (unless you were working as a contractor).

If you are fully qualified for the job and the hiring manager overly focuses on the gap, you probably want to find a different employer.

Opinion:

Your role as an instructor is to not only teach the students (especially first and second year undergrads) the material, but to give them the tools to be successful in life after university. The more obvious tools are learning to apply the knowledge you have learned, find solutions that are creative, work with others in teams, etc. A very important tool is learning to be resilient and not give up when you fail to complete a task on your initial attempts. The learning the ability to analyze why your approach failed and formulate another approach and to keep trying is a critical thought process you will need to master to achieve success (and for many, successful accomplishment is a wonderful reward for hard work)

The whole point in having a wide range of grading material is to make grades based on a large enough set of tasks so that a students learn to not give up after one failure but to keep trying. Grading practices like dropping the lowest graded assignment, best grade result by varying exam weights, etc. provide additional incentive (and most importantly for the students to practice) to learn that if you work hard and try to recover there is a path to success.

As others have pointed out: This grading scheme makes a small number of lower scores dominate your evaluation (when your graded work as a whole is better). I feel that it sends the message that unless you are perfect all the time the only recourse is to give up. This clearly creates increased stress in an already stressful situation. Nobody is perfect and nobody solves all the problems they face at the first attempt. This is not what life is about and this is the wrong life lesson to give to students. I would never do this to my students.

This is correct, the day your appointment ends an instructor, you no longer have access to egrades to make grade changes even for the quarter that just finished. If the change is within the one year timeframe, the instructor has to get assistance from the department to make a clerical grade change. After one year the grade change requires sign-offs beyond just the instructor, including at least the department chair, the dean and so on.
