Yeah, I survived several layoff rounds at a company and my workload increased significantly. At first it was fine, even better in some ways to have more responsibility. Then the subsequent layoffs added too much, and we lost a lot of people with institutional knowledge, so I was being handed work with no one to talk to when I had questions.

tl:dr One round of layoffs isn't bad if you're staying, but subsequent rounds can make you miserable.

That's an interesting definition of subsidized. I don't thing I've ever heard it used like that before.

The same is true of the Iranian people. There's sometimes a difference between the government and their own citizens.

An electric truck the size (and look for that matter) of the Hyundai Santa Cruz would be a lot more practical for most folks imo.

You might consider making a sock puppet account for these situations instead of constantly relying on everyone else.

It could be a Linux vs Mac/Win situation though. Sure the HN crowd will build their own harnesses and hook up cheaper models but the average Joe Sixpack wants something that "just works" out of box and the frontier labs seems well positioned to give that to them.
