> if you're dying because the clocks changed and it was too much of a burden for you to re-adjust (like literally everyone else does) then oh well.

It's a good thing everyone's actions take place in a bubble and have no effect on others.

There is no "implementation date" in the current text of the bill. As written, it would take effect immediately.

The time most people wake up is dictated by when they need to be at work. They can't simply "get up later".

Names aren't unique. I have a pretty common name, I even have the same name as someone else at my current (not very large) company.

Should I be blocked from everywhere that has fired someone with the same name?

Holy hyperbole, Batman.

This is just a straight marketing post for Redis.

I'm guessing more than a few found out from this article directly. What a rough way to find out you were laid off.

Does it have to be one or the other?

What sort of testing would you need to do in order to make purchasing physical machines simply for testing financially beneficial?

Not to mention the environmental impact of doing so.

Would you want to get into the market if it wasn't a system built around increasing market value?

How does one eat that?

All of the videos I have seen of the summon feature have been pretty bad. A lot of time the vehicle can't seem to figure out what to do. I imagine that will get better with time, but if I had a Tesla I wouldn't be using it now.

I'm surprised they released the feature as-is.

> Obviously it is also a good fit for low scale use cases.

Is this a given? Just because something is necessary at scale doesn't mean it is a good fit for low scale use cases. I would expect the opposite is actually true.

I have long thought that there is an opening for local grocery stores to take a lot of this market. Many of my local supermarkets (HyVee, Walmart) allow for online ordering, but they all require the user to input items one-by-one. If they added a feature to add entire recipes in a single click, I think they would do very well for themselves. The additional cost of adding a recipe card would be negligible.

The customer's cost isn't increased over regular online ordering, and there isn't the issue of increased packaging. The food is fresh from the local supermarket and doesn't have to be shipped, beyond at most a local delivery.

Does the group of people who meal prep line up with those that don't want to think about meal prep? One of the benefits of these meal prep kits is that you end up with a freshly cooked meal. If you are going to be eating a prepared meal, why not just let the service send it fully ready to go?

You are forgetting taxes (FICA, state and federal income taxes, etc), which would eat up a significant portion of those savings.
