  • Close, but not quite: Data suggest tractor beam, Riker shuttle bay decompression. Picard orders tractor beam, it fails, Enterprise destroyed, timeloop begins anew.

    New try, this time Data sends "3" back in the timeline to indicate that they should listen to the commander.

    New try, Data understands his message just in time to also decompress the shuttle bay along with the tractor beam shenanigans. All are saved and live happily ever after.

  • Also team leader in Germany here. I'm currently on a three week vacation. Two members of my team take 4 consecutive weeks of vacation each. There are only 8 people in my team so impact of one person missing is even greater. There are weeks when only half the team is not on vacation. Our labour agreement doesn't even allow us to deny vacation requests. We just "simply" plan ahead and don't take on projects we can't handle during that time. So it highly depends on circumstances whether this is possible, it's definitely not generalizable.

  • That's one reason for sure, especially in border regions. The other one is that for basically any high paying job being fluent in English is a requirement as most companies operate internationally. You can have a very successful career speaking only one language, but nowadays only if that language happens to be English.

  • Also black Americans. All in all, only 20% of Americans in general, only about 4% of white Americans and 7% of black Americans are bilingual. Compare this to 84% of Germans for example, a far less diverse country, where 38% speak two languages, 29% three languages, 17% even more than three.

    Also, there probably are people earning a living wage doing freelancing in the US. It's a joke, a two-liner at that. Of course it's an oversimplification.

  • A lot of truth in this thread, albeit too cynical for my taste. Yes, the company as soulless, emotionless entity doesn't care for you. However, your coworkers might, even your boss.

    Also, my main take away:

    • make sure you know your worth
    • make sure the right people know your worth
    • make sure the right people know that you know your worth
  • Well, in the end it's up to whether Tesla's ADAS is compliant with laws and regulations. If there really were 150 warnings by the ADAS without it disengaging, this might be an indicator of faulty software and therefore Tesla being at least partially at fault. It goes without saying that the driver is mostly to blame but an ADAS shouldn't just keep on driving when it senses that the driver is incapacitated.
