How typical of Congress to intentionally set up fights every 2-3 years over completely obvious BS, and summarily shut down the government and scapegoat something else like top-line rates on the "working rich" while playing class warfare politics.

I respectfully disagree. By these arguments, literally every deduction from revenue to calculate taxable income is a "loophole". How far does that go?

What's more absurd than life itself is that you can deduct 100% of a 6000GVWR truck which you financed for 7 years, but my engineers salaries aren't deductible because I'm "building some product" so that's "development".

I mean give me a freaking break.

For all of the reasons you note above, this is why I've almost exclusively dealt with arena-style allocations of fixed-object-sizes when doing ultra low latency work.

But it would be so draconian to not increase spending insanely every year!

Companies really, really want their employees to perform specific behaviors that they desire, except they don't want to compensate them extra.

In truth, a base pay + bonus structure that is commensurate with the outcomes the company desires is the best solution.

Leaders shouldn't trust folks who go into HR to come up with these.

Really difficult to comprehend why this is so difficult for people to understand. I recently started sharing a small office on the lake with a friend. I have about 180sf of it to myself. There are boats that cruise by, views are incredible, the environment is fun an inviting -- and I still have my privacy. It's like WFH but 5 feet from the water.

I've been a WFH advocate for 22 years, having spend 20 of those working in my own home. I still refuse to go downtown, but I don't mind going to a place like this. I still work about 70% from my house, and 30% from the office. I work from the office when it suits me.

Perhaps if they weren't trying to shove us into a singular zip code from a radius 50 miles away, distract and annoy us, force us to deal with traffic, not to mention the personal and monetary expense of it all -- I'd be willing to entertain the idea that an office is "better."

We have enough fissile material to support the planet for 10s of thousands of years, so the nuclear proponents can speak in theoretical maximums and still beat you. You don't have enough raw materials on planet earth to continue making solar panels for the next 10s of 1000s of years, given that you need to replace the panels every 10-20 years (optimistically).

Commercial nuclear fission is completely viable for anyone not allowing it to become unviable with lawsuits. See: China.

Downvote me all you want, but you'll live in poverty when there are no factories in your town because the lights turn off during a snowstorm.

If only the "systems" we were considering were meant to provide limitless and virtually free electricity (nuclear), which is congruence with the "systems" of reducing poverty.

Are you familiar with all the newer generation technologies that haven’t been phased out and are under development?

> are not necessarily aligned with the key problems in nuclear, which are currently construction project management related

I think the hope is that with passive cooling and passive anti-meltdown characteristics, the complexity of the constriction can be reduced. And that has exponential returns for cost structure.

the basis of the civil rights movement and the LGB community is that these characteristics are immutable on the basis of genetics.

You’re translating the problem from : searching through branches that are named according to their ticket and what they are meant to accomplish to: complex and not-context-free git bisect.

Rockets on Zaporischja do advocate for something but it isn’t less nuclear power.

I’ve known developers who left the company over the rebase mandate for this exact reason.

Branches are mostly free, so this isn’t a problem if they are properly named.

“try-again-something5” doesn’t cut it but “$ticket-at-least-five-words-here” does.
