My teams new hire project manager was even more advanced. When they found out we were working on 5-10 projects at once with no PM, they quit.

We had 3 PMs when I started here, and have been down to 0-1 for 6 months. That 0-1 runs a whole unrelated team, but is technical still a PM.

Dysfunction is fun. The plus side? No one asks me for estimates.

Corporations hide crimes all the time, even when they are the victims. If the crime will lose them money in any way, either directly or from a reputation hit, it’s very likely a company will not report it.

It only because the employees involved had their NDAs expire and confirmed they saw some very fucked up things that we know what he did.

Twitch fired him publicly when he was one of their biggest streamers. It’s fully possible the explicitly sexual messages are a crime, but the parties involved, including the minor victim, did not want it reported.

You can argue amazon should have reported it anyway if it rose to that level, but with none of the involved parties forcing the issue, it makes sense from a buisness stance not to.

Yes and no. The auditing is likely the harder part. You can use something like tailscale or nebula vpn to get the always on vpn/ACLs. With a dozen or two devices, it should be doable at a home scale.

If you want clientless zerotrust then you’re talking heavier duty things like Palo alto gear and the like.

The owner or whatever in the YouTube comments confirms the above. They added a wider board, a wheel with better traction, and metal side handle.

All of the internals/software are the exact same as the Pint X.

They are pushing the same software update/speed increase to the Pint X at least, so they aren’t actively segmenting them via software features/top speed at least.

Apprently, their are 3rd party “fangs” that you can fit on front that have small wheels on them that fix this. They are another $120 on top of the cost of the $1100 boards.

They have engineering issues along with all the rest. They still refuse to acknowledge wiring issues on the Pint X, even going so far as to blame people that opened their boards to check as causing them. This falls pretty flat when you have dozens if not hundreds of people with pictures showing the same issue. The only “confirmation” they have issued that I’m aware that the issue is resolved is from 8 months ago to a youtuber comment saying the problem has been fixed with all new boards. You can also mail them the board and they “will check” to see if their is an issue, but they have done literally nothing proactive, and have alerted no customers directly of the possibility of an issue.

Having all the wiring in your $1100, 18mph single wheel board fail at random because of an unacknowledged design flaw that could have been solved with a dollars worth of protetive plastic doesn’t instill confidence.

But you also get a car for that cost, not just a utility bike. I love these Bakfiets style front cargo bikes and really hope for more US adoption, but our nation was built for cars and fighting that will take decades. Cars have way more overall utility and comfort in America.

I’ll say too that used cars are a crapshoot. I once bought a $700 car that I put $800 into and it ran for years without further issue. Ongoing costs like gas and oil are real, but the immense utility makes them feel negligible. Even with those costs, that thing far beat the Urban arrow over its lifespan, and nearly beat even this meh bike in the review. I could have put two bikes in it and a couple of people to boot while going 70+ mph on a highway, a feat no bike will ever match.

We should all shift to cargo bikes, preferably these high utility/high safety front loader styles if we can. We should also advocate for infrastructure changes to make them and others like them more viable. That’s the ideal, but if these bikes stay at 7k, getting people to actually buy and use them even with those infrastructure improvements is going to be a big, big challenge all on its own.

Cars are way more convenient in America. It’s not a good thing, but it’s true. Youre going to have a very hard time convincing people that would be willing to use a cargo bike but who are are on the fence that they should buy a cars worth of cargo bike at the outset.

Adoption of cargo bikes are much likelier in the $1500 range than the $7000 range. You’re already asking people to step away from their comfort zones and the norm in American society. Asking them to “spend a used car” to do it just makes it way, way less likely.

That’s the “can get a good used car” comparison the author makes right off.

Those electric Urban arrows are a dream, but run around 6-7k in every bike shop I’ve seen them in.

They had to sue him, so they likely have to pay off their own 2 years of legal bills. 100k/each isn’t going to do much after that, and especially if it has to make up lost wages or income after a state legislator publicly called you a sex offender.

I think it’s okay for these proud and fierce people to just take care of themselves in this one.

I know you’re being sarcastic, but the same witness confirmed no one was throwing rocks anywhere nearby when she was murdered by Israel snipers.

ZeroTrust is a specific type of network security where every network device has its access to other devices validated and controlled, not a statement on the trustworthiness of vendors.

Instead of every device on a LAN seeing every other device, or even every device on a VLAN seeing other devices on a VLAN, each device can only connect with the other devices it needs to work, and those connections need to be encrypted. These connectioms are all monitored, logged and alerted on to make sure the system is working as intended.

You do need to trust or validate the tooling that does the above, regardless of what you’re using.

Totally. I trust the kickstarter more from an established company, but I trust the company less.

It really makes me wonder why the established company doesn’t use its money to make more money and is instead using a “we technically don’t have to refund you” method instead of ite normal sales channels.

Livewire was Harley, right? I can see why they would want to anchor to the high price they get for their normal bikes.

Looks like more options and better battery tech are driving vehicle prices down either way, so glad to see it.

Odd that it’s a Kickstarter since it’s already an active company, but I guess this falls in the “let’s use Kickstarter as a preorder/marketing tool for a project we will release anyway.”

The brand is well regarded for budget boards, and has a couple in the $400-500 range that you can buy now, although they aren’t as sleek.

I think that’s common in gaming development. You work on a project until it’s done, then pivot to another or get let go.

The game bombing likely doesn’t help but I expect most devs involved expected this. Apparently development ran 3-4 years, which is a good time to leave a job in tech generally, if not earlier if you want to maximize income.

Old thread, but I’m loving this suspension post with my xpress. Rated for 264lbs, but that’s underselling it. It has an extra spring you can add in for heavier riders that really ups the stiffness, but still has great give. The design is way more seriously engineered than Lectrics generic style spring post.

The 31.6/450mm long is what fits my bike with the lectric stock seatpost clamp.

The super fat tire handles potholes/etc really well really well apprently. People bunny hop them and go off short drops with no issue.

Best not to eat any, but it’s still a matter of dose. Plum/peach seeds may be more a choking hazard than any other.

Your comment has literally nothing to do with how they build trains.

We aren’t talking about their failing economy or corrupt residential building process. We are talking about what the world can learn from their effective train building process.
