For someone who doesn't want to buy American made cars, you sure speak fondly of some of them. Tundra and Sequoia have only ever been made in the us, matrix was once upon a time made in the nummi factory that is now Tesla's, and have been made in North America since, crv have also mostly been made in the us, otherwise North American production, same with all newer fits. The only car you mentioned made outside of North America would be the first generation fit, made in Japan.

I had a friend's dad who was one of the few people I talked to who, as a Japanese brand enthusiast, went out of his way to find a Chevy/Geo prizm - same mechanical bits as a Corolla, built in the same factory, but way cheaper because of all the people who reflexively avoided American brands.

The cost for generating electricity is much cheaper at utility scale, but electrical generation costs are only a part of what it costs to provide electrical service. A similarly large cost goes to electricity distribution. By generating where it's used, the electrical distribution system is less taxes (provided it doesn't have to absorb a lot of surplus electricity). So to a certain extent, rooftop generation still makes sense as an efficient allocation of resources.

Please do so

I'd love to hear more from the perspective of Hong Kong residents and natives. In the us we get relatively little coverage of the situation in Hong Kong.

Unfortunately there is no generic for Epipen. Unless you have been written a prescription for Adrenaclick specifically, you can't get it, or the generic version.

It's your doctor's fault if you didn't get the substitute earlier. As adrenaclick and epipen are not actually equivalent (even though ultimately they deliver the same medicine, in the same dose, in the same manner), the pharmacist is not supposed to do anything but provide what was prescribed.

The adrenaclick generic is much cheaper than the epipen, with or without insurance. Although technically different epinephrine auto injectors cannot be substituted (you can only be prescribed the one written by your doctor, or its generic equivalent), practically speaking the only difference between the epipen and the adrenaclick design is the instructions for use. I would hope there isn't a case of doctors being unaware of the alternatives.

Most of the people I know use the internal speakers on their phones extensively, and hardly ever use audio over either Bluetooth or the 3.5mm jack. In this case, how would battery life be improved. The DAC and amplifier cannot be removed unless the on board speaker is also. I hope this is not the case.

We all have shortcomings. It is hard to work with people who refuse to acknowledge their shortcomings and then try to remediate or at least work around them. Even worse are those who seek to blame others for their circumstances or and arr not willing to admit anything personally embarassing.

I applaud the author and although I'm not in a position to hire anyone, I'd be more likely to hire him (ceteres paribus) because he's put this out there.

Does anyone know to what extent this affects news organizations in Hong Kong?

I worked in embedded development for much of my career. There is a pretty small supply of people who are interested and capable in the field, relative to the jobs available, especially for more junior positions. What Ive seen happen is companies will hire java developers to do C development because they have few other options (it often doesn't work out well). Just apply and you are likely to get people who will talk to you.

Does anyone know if all (or a majority of) android device makers have licensing agreements in place with Ericsson for said patents?

I've worked at sv companies of all sizes, and I think that for a fresh grad especially, the most important thing as some have stated is to find a team (manager, coworkers) and project that are right for you. You want a place where you will be supported, where you will have interesting work, and where you'll be able to develop in all the aspects (not just technical ones) that you'll need as a more senior developer. You'll want to avoid toxic cultures and places where no real work gets done. In companies of all sizes and stripes there is a huge amount of variation internally. Unfortunately it's often difficult to know what a particular team is like unless you know an insider. This advice may seem like common sense, but in my own experience and through talking to junior colleagues, many people don't have much of a clue for what to look for in a job (beyond - they pay a bit better / I've heard of them and its a prestigious name / I have some idea about what they want me to do and it sounds vaguely intetesting).

For fresh grads there is almost no negotiating room on compensation. Additionally, what one learns and experiences is critical to career growth. At one sv bigco I got paid intern level wages to manually label machines in a server room for a month (hired as a developer). I'm sure this is not represent tative of that company. At another bigco I have seen fresh grads and interns get plum work assignments (and pretty good compensation, according to surveys), and I know that's not the case for many other parts of that company. Neither of these companies is appamagoogsoftbookflix, but I know both these scenarios can be found pretty much anywhere.

Even midcareer professionals should care a great deal about the people and projects they will be working with, but there the ability and need to optimize compensation can be more acute. So, avoiding optimizing for compensation and company prestige early in ones career is something to be cognizant of.
