Solo is an application networking company working with open source, cloud native technologies. If you are passionate about technologies like containers, Kubernetes/k8s, Istio service mesh, Envoy proxy, GraphQL, Cilium, eBPF, WASM (server side), serverless functions, and more, then Solo.io is the place for you! We strive to productize the bleeding edge of cloud technologies, contribute back to the open source community, and build solutions which scale globally. If you're interested in presenting your work at conferences and meetups, that is also encouraged and supported (although not mandatory!). We are a golang shop. Prior experience with k8s operators, Envoy proxy, or service mesh technologies is a big plus.

Given that, my personal strategy when buying was to just do as much of the legwork as possible myself, rather than risk leaving due diligence to somebody whose financial incentives are not aligned with my own. My agent essentially ended up mostly relegated to docusign-forwarding duties.

"Answers a call at any time of the day" is definitely a great nice to have, but I suspect that puts your particular agent in the top 10% of the field. Most agents I have used will just let all phone calls go to voicemail and then text back or call you back hours or days later. YMMV a lot on this one.

If they removed the 'Miles remaining' number and only showed a percentage, you would end up having to do the exact same conversion in your head anyways. "Oh I have 43% remaining of my 330 mile battery, how much is that?" so this is really just a quick shortcut.

Tesla has a separate screen with very clear range estimates that the user can toggle (based on last n miles or based on current exact 'instant' reading). In addition, when navigating to a destination, the nav tells you the estimated battery % on arrival, which is also based on current driving and is generally quite accurate. In addition, it will tell you during & after the trip exactly why the estimated and actual range differed. Eg "0.5% extra battery used due to a 5.6mph headwind, 2% extra battery used by driving over 70mph", etc.

Having a count-down 'Miles remaining' on the dashboard doesn't always make sense, particularly when you haven't entered a destination, or if you're switching between highways and back rounds a bunch. Either way, it's never going to actually be accurate down to the last mile. In reality, you just have to know that the miles on the dashboard are "EPA miles", meaning if you're driving on a flat surface in good conditions at ~55mph, that's what you'll get. If you change your speed, or conditions get worse, you know you'll need to adjust it in your head (or use the dedicated in-car screen to automatically figure it out for you!).

The main difference for me is that it's relatively easy to "fill in the gaps" for any other subject we learned from the ages of 12-18. Irish however, is niche enough - and learning resources generally technologically behind - that it's still quite tricky to self-teach or "quickly google" answers to things. That makes it unique from most other primary/secondary school subjects which are more universally taught across the world.

For example - I'd be in favor of abolishing the current H1-B lottery in favor of taking in the first 85,000* applicants with the highest paying job offers. Maybe have some carve-outs based on sector, weighted by demand, so eg academics aren't competing with SV-tech salaries. Not a perfect solution, but solves a lot of the major problems we have today.

*I also think we should increase the cap

2016 numbers - https://h1bgrader.com/reports/sponsors/lca/2016 2022 numbers - https://h1bgrader.com/reports/sponsors/lca/2022

There are an additional 65,000 H1B visas available each year to applicants with bachelor's degrees in STEM, and an additional 20,000 degrees available for those with masters degrees in STEM. So those +85,000 individuals wouldn't even cover one third of the currently open positions (and notably, more positions are opening every day right now, where the cap is only renewed annually).

The problem is for services where I pay a la carte to build a "personal" library of things, like steam games, Google Play movies, Amazon Kindle books, etc. I've paid a one-off price for the digital content with the expectation that I will have access to that content indefinitely. If I am abusing the platform, causing issues for others, or generally and blatantly violating ToS in a major way, then I think that's a different story. But if I need to dispute one transaction, then the ability to immediately remove all access to previously purchased content immediately, indefinitely, and frequently without review or appeals - is very anti-consumer.

It effectively nullifies existing consumer protection laws. I will never issue a chargeback or complaint against Valve (Steam) or Google, even if I have a perfectly legitimate reason to do so - as loss of those accounts after all of these years would likely be more costly to me than most erroneous charges I'm likely to see.
