That interview was a marketing piece, they published it to get attention. Just like all of their blog posts. More generally, everything any company posts publicly is marketing.
I’d opt for the V10 from the F2004 Ferrari F1 car if I had to pick an engine to listen to, it’s what a race car should sound like. There’s just something about a V10, it sounds musical.
That BRM V16 is a close second though! It’s probably more impressive given it’s 50 years older than the Ferrari engine and was not designed by computers.
It could easily be funded by raising the payroll tax cap and leaving the benefits cap in place. High income earners would be subsidizing the program, sounds fair to me after society enabled them to become high income earners.
Sure, that would be a great way to fund Social Security and Medicaid. I proposed raising the payroll tax cap simply because it works within the existing framework, but targeting wealth to fund social programs is a good idea too.
Tax the fuck out of people and do they stop working, or quiet-quit reduce hours/effort?
There are many highly paid essential jobs that society needs. Good luck finding a doctor. How long would transportation or infrastructure last without engineers?
Obviously wouldn't matter for deadwood or bullshit jobs: but we struggle to identify those. You might think Hollywood is unnecessary, but how much of your economy depends on foreign income from unnecessary shit?
No more startups - why bother if there's no reward.
Make Britain great again, by making the US suck!

You've got causality reversed. Society depends on businesses and workers.
I can't understand how anyone looks at complex systems and thinks "let's just fuck $X". Is it just ignorance?
IIRC the personality tests are mostly designed to assess how a candidate deals with authority and to try and suss out if they’re consistent/honest. Testing for ‘personality disorders’ more or less.
I doubt the tests actually help, due to the reasons you provided (and more).
Probably a redundant comment, but it's the evaporation, i.e. conversion of water from liquid to gaseous form, that provides the cooling effect. At that point it's gone.
You need a license to sell more than $25 of copper in my state. You won’t be issued a copper selling license without holding something like a journeyman electrical worker license or similar.
In practice, it just means the copper gets driven to Wisconsin and sold there. It’d be nice if my neighbor state gave a shit about metal theft or discouraging drunk driving, but they don’t.
> It's a scale problem; fuses can be set up protect components or machines in a car or factory context;
Induction motors use overload relays to protect the motor, fuses are strictly for overcurrent protection to stop the wire from catching fire. A VFD will have a fused switch or circuit breaker on the line side for overcurrent protection and a set of overload relays after the contactor to protect the motor itself.
Switchgear uses ground fault protection relays to protect the equipment, not fuses (or humans for that matter, GFP relays are set around 30mA IIRC)
Some motors also have phase loss protection relays that will power down the motor if a utility phase is lost.
A car is the same, fuses are to protect the wiring and prevent fires. Fuses do not act quickly enough to protect equipment, even fast-acting ones.
Relays act fast enough and deterministically enough to protect equipment, fuses aren’t fast or accurate enough to do so.
