It's fun! I'd love to see a "final score" - both number correct/total number, as well as the time elapsed.


Right - we only got a short glimpse of it, not enough to get a high confidence of its trajectory.


You could try clicking around and reading a little bit before throwing wildly inaccurate, speculative, and slanderous accusations at an org you know nothing about.


It was Hyundai. Hyundai gives you a free ChargePoint charger and $600 towards installation. (or at least they did a year ago when I got my Ioniq 5)


They did not offer that with my Kona Electric purchased this year. Probably because they are offering a $7500 rebate to match the rebates for US produced cars.


At various times, Hyundai offered purchasers of their e-gmp models rebates of $7.5k-10k, or 2 years of free charging at Electrify America stations, or level 2 home adapters/chargers, sometimes including some costs towards installation. With a bit of patience and haggling, you could've gotten at least two of the three, if not all.

The Kona EV, like the Niro EV and non-numeric Ioniq models, isn't based on the electric e-GMP platform, but is using the old gas vehicle platform, and incentives on those models are lower, probably because there is less need to increase sales of those.


And almost every other brand of car, EV or ICE.


It feels like those bar charts do not show very big improvements.


I really wish they would left-justify instead of center-justify the pricing information so I'm not sitting here counting zeroes and trying to figure out how they all line up.


Rather than turn this into some weird culture war thing, I suggest you finish reading the article.

That is, in no way, why it had difficulty being published.


I would encourage reading about Jim Allison (the nobel prize winner in medicine for immunotherapy) and his difficulty having his research acknowledged / getting funding as an immunologist working in cancer research.

Wired magazine did a piece on him detailing how funding for this type of research was largely stonewalled because it ignored status quo ideas on cancer treatment.

My understanding is that traditionally ovt research was nearly impossible to get funding for but has begun to become easier as the status quo research and researchers from the 2000s have been replaced.

“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”


Yeah, imagine all those million dollar cancer drugs that dont really work, when you could just inject traditional vaccines to tumor


Role: Senior Software Engineer

Company: Tomorrow, a pre-seed, stealth, next-gen kitchen appliance company

Location: Seattle, WA (full time ON-SITE - Lower Queen Anne)

Comp: Competitive compensation and equity package for very early stage startups.

Company background: A small team - 4 people - working on fusing some novel food storage science with some cool hardware and software to offer a physical product that is truly a step-function better than any of the other devices in its category. The company is about two years old - most of that time spent in R&D but we've recently shifted gears towards productizing said research. We are currently self-funded by our CEO, who previously founded a local Seattle unicorn, but do expect to raise venture funding.

This role: In the short term, this role will be focused primarily on iterating on the UX of our PWA prototype, building our production mobile app in React Native, adapting our existing infrastructure as we scale into alpha and beta, and building out the on-device experience. We are looking for someone who is excited to work iteratively, and is just as happy tweaking margin spacing as they are building new APIs and managing data transfer between edge devices and our servers. You'll have significant ownership over our technical stack and direction, and many opportunities to explore and learn new technologies.

Technologies we're currently using: We do not expect candidates to be an expert in, or even familiar with, every technology on this list - just to be interested in learning the ones they aren't familiar with (although we are prioritizing candidates with deep experience in technologies with an asterisk): - React Native* - Node* - Preact - Kubernetes/Helm - Docker - AWS - Python - Terraform - Working with LLMs

To apply, please email me (zachary@edesia.ai) your LinkedIn and a few sentences about you and your background.


> Subway, which owns none of its restaurants and makes its money through 8% royalty fees it collects from franchisees, now faces interest payments on debt following its sale to Roark and can’t afford to have declining earnings, sources said.

The classic private equity playbook is about to kill Subway.

(Not that it was doing great before, but take a distressed company and saddle it with a ton of debt payments on top of its existing problems just... never seemed like a winning strategy to me.
