Not only that, but the API rate amounts being pearl clutched over in the article are still relatively trivial. 10k a month is not nothing, but when 10k a month enables a team of ~10-20 engineers, that's pretty good leverage.

Foxglove is a platform for robotics and autonomy teams to collect, analyze, and learn from the vast quantities of multimodal data required to build, train, deploy, and operate reliable robots.
Not to be too glib, but "a bunch of things that should have never been allowed in production, compounded by non-existent monitoring, and poor understanding of how <thing> works" is the cause of most outages.
I believe the focus on LDL as 'bad' has been misguided. It's an improvement from 'all cholesterol is bad', but we just don't understand very much about how it all works, and so as we discover more, we slowly refine our understanding.
A lot of the theory about why LDL is 'bad' is based on the fact that arterial damage is repaired with the stuff, causing plaque. There's no evidence that LDL is causing the damage, just that it has a role in how it's fixed (in an ultimately detrimental way).
Private property entirely depends on violence -- that's not hyperbole, there's ultimately no other compelling force to enforce societal norms and rules (see: police).
It's only our familiarity and compliance with the system that prevents us from encountering that violence.
Literally flight attendants exist to help with the safety of passengers in any sort of abnormal situation. That they serve beverages is just kind of the thing they do when there's not a critical safety function.
If you're a manager, your job is to do things that make you uncomfortable.
Yep, one thing I noticed when I moved into a management role, was that the things that would make you move along as an employee, are the things it's now your job to fix or deal with. Maybe this is obvious, but there's kind of a visceral shift in perception that goes along with it.
An experienced CEO joined a mid-sized company that I worked at a few years. His opening line, in his first all hands was a joke about firing the people who were a few minutes late to the call. It was obviously a joke, but you really can't make a worse impression and he was gone within a year.
It's not a great job market (and unlikely to wildly improve), but you're young and have savings. There will never be a better time to feel the satisfaction of quitting because you plain just don't like it there.
Some of the other comments have advice like trying to get furloughed, and all those seem worth a shot, but yeah.... just walk!
I know that for piston engine aircraft, it is critical that the engine be properly warmed up before takeoff. Otherwise, the engine would likely stall shortly after liftoff, leading inevitably to a crash. This is a common cause of accidents.
This is not true. Engine start to takeoff is usually at least a few minutes, but there is no critical temperature factor for the engine (barring extreme heat or cold).
It's a lot like a car, you don't want to overly stress by flooring it when cold, before oil is circulating comfortable -- but running for 10s of seconds is plenty to get going.
