We have additional roles for sales, consulting, accounting, and customer support open in Atlanta, London, Australia, and some Remote (US) options. See the full list at https://www.fullstory.com/careers?utm_source=092xpqyAkV

For US roles, you can expect regular raises & bonuses, equity, and benefits including: health insurance, 401k matching (Vanguard), annual learning stipend, unlimited PTO, parental leave, and more. I take about 4-5 weeks vacation a year, in addition to ~3 weeks worth of company holidays (federal holidays + the week of Christmas to New Years.)

Folks in other countries can also expect a strong benefits package, but I'm not as versed on the details.

> You pay the 40%, or you lose the person and spend six months (and a recruiter’s fee) trying to find a replacement at market rate, which is probably even higher.

I think I see the problem here.

I repaired device like that a while back - it only took two half-cent resistors and a half-assed soldering job to make it compatible with standard USB-C cables and chargers: https://www.nfriedly.com/techblog/2021-10-10-v90-usb-c/

> Well, if it degrades to 90% after three years, and let’s extrapolate to 81% after another two to three years,

That sounds like a phone battery, not an EV battery. Modern EVs should last 15-20 years before seeing significant degredation.

Yes, I absolutely understand that. I'm refuting the idea that it's not possible to do with a family and kids.

My wife and I have kids and live on a single income, and we're on track to retire in between ages 45 and 50.

We live in Ohio, and I suppose we would qualify as frugal and having cheap hobbies. But I certainly don't feel like we're missing out on a lot.

We also set aside over $1,000 a month for giving, with some of it going to various individuals and organizations automatically and some of it just waiting for when we see a need.

A SEPP plan let's you get the money early and penalty-free from a 401k and an IRA. And the saved medical receipts let you take some money out of a HSA at any point for reimbursement, also penalty-free.

FWIW, the ordering page lets you also choose AMD Ryzen 350 / HX 370. It's not the Strix Halo chips you're hoping for, but it is something.

I just recently noticed that my ISP, Frontier, quietly turned on IPv6. I know it wasn't enabled back in December, so it has to have been sometime in the past few months.

I recently found a Blu-ray player for $7 at Goodwill. It was missing the remote which ended up costing slightly more than the player itself, but for ~$15 I got a working Blu-ray/dvd player with a remote

Yeah, but it takes a heck of a lot more compute to to run an llm than a regex. So I think there's still some value in obfuscation.

Man, that seems wasteful.

I opened all of the packages already, so it's too late to send them back. (I get enough things in the mail that I did order, that I pretty much have to open it to know it's something I didn't order.)

Send me a shipping label. (I'm only half-joking. I told the original seller I'd send it back to them, so I feel like I ought to give them at least a week or two to get me the label they said they'd send. But, seriously, email me in a month, and if I still haven't heard back from the seller, I'll send it to you.)
