So we finally get USB-C and single cord plugin so I can get all my stuff connected to my laptop (keyboard, monitor, etc.) with power in one plug. But now I gotta get a separate dongle for all that and then NOT power it up all the time. 

I really like the Lutron Caseta series. Switches are really reliable, the programming is solid and their Pico remotes work pretty flawlessly. I made the mistake of going through the trouble of wiring 3 way switches (which they can totally do). But the long life of the Pico remotes (which you can mount into a box or…

So... people that demonstrate a history of one riskier behavior also seem to also do other riskier things?

I’d suspect it’s either the base price alone, or the lack of union labor for the manufacturing.

It’s also that EVs throw the $/hp equation out the window. Before you had to spend enormous effort engineering to get to 500, 600, let alone 1000 hp. Now we have a $55k Kia that produces 570+hp. Every manufacturer can manufacture a 1000hp car now so power exclusivity is gone. But removing HP out of the equation will…

Designer using a mouse constantly, I switched to the MX vertical a few years ago and won’t ever go back. Far less strain on the wrist. This sort of thing is great to try to get your employer to pay for as well.

Plenty of ferries. The ferry system is pretty great and it wouldn’t be a stretch to deploy extra boats for a weekend that terminated in Manhattan and Brooklyn. And also how great would it be to arrive at an F1 event by boat? It’d be a pretty awesome experience.

Doesn’t really perform well enough for the video and low latency experience we need for phones & tablets.

My hot take: Subaru should take a Ford F150 approach and just electrify the Outback or Forester. That thing would sell like crazy.

How soon we forgot you...

I sympathize with Ford a bit. I would bet money that there’s some report floating around Deerborn that shows that Ford ends up making more money w/o a dealer network, but it’s too expensive to get the network replaced quickly. Think about how many “startups” are just direct to consumer versions of stuff we’ve been…

Every car buyer to a dealer:

/s? She’s charged w/ second degree murder now... not manslaughter. 

I think the F150 Lightning and Maverick sales are going to be driven by a huge number of first time truck buyers. They’ve already identified this w/ Maverick reservations and I bet the same goes for F15o. You’re not going to convert the guy towing his boat 500 miles round trip on the weekend to give up his ICE, but…

Amazon no doubt has a ton of outs on their purchasing agreement. Airlines routinely tear up their purchasing agreements with Boeing or Airbus if issues come up and I imagine it’s not that dissimilar. 

Another way to think about it though is that it’s a super smart hedge on Ford’s part. As a major shareholder and board seat holder, they can be privy to a lot of information to ensure they stay relevant, all the while, they don’t have to take a lot of the risks and let Rivian do things and see if the market follows.…

And it’s not binary either. Families that somehow can’t realize the full tax benefit (and bought a qualifying EV) would then reduce their tax burden to 0.

You should rotate your mic so it’s facing you properly. Per Blue’s website:

Most PM2.5 sensors (even qualitative ones) are going to set you back $50+ so I don’t think this is a bad value. The PM2.5 is a good leading indicator of how well your overall filtration is doing as well and given the pandemic, not a bad thing to stay aware of.

I do think the 3 tier red/yellow/green is a little too…
