hey, I read this, and then I went out and engaged anyway, and I regret it. so thank you again for warning me

decimal inches is basically only used in machining. The only time ive ever seen it is in schematics and an indicators.

This is the very first thing I thought of when I saw cybertruck

We should rename the gulf of mexico, too

It seems these challenges are more about technique than biology https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjp5gd/this-is-why-men-cant-seem-to-ace-the-viral-tiktok-centre-of-gravity-challenge

The card stock is also much too thick

None at all. He also doesn't understend that the issues tesla has faced are largely due to poor process design rather than automotive design. The plans may call for small gaps ore big gaps, but they certainly don't call for iconsistent gaps

Thanks, I understand my error now. Corrected

Oh haha, yeah, I understand my error now. Thanks for bearing with me

What I meant is that Elon has set a fairly un-achievable standard, as the sheet metal parts he is talking about will grow and shrink by more than that depending on weather. Additionaly, the small parts can be machined to that tolerance, but only by a skilled machinist and not at assembly line levels.

Isn't that 10 microns? 0.01mm?

10 microns is .4 thou, about the width of a cotton fiber. Its possible to machine those tolerances, but very time consuming as machine maintainance steps up. Its also small enough that the thermal expansion of the sheets will be larger than that

Heres the underlying study, which says tembs are gaing up but have not reached the critical threshhold https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06391-z

Spiders Donald is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted

National socialists weren't socialists, either

I don't really know the strong points of either, I'm not a cryptographer. Bcrypt gets recommended because its relatively fast, its decent, and most importantly its already in most environments

Supporting capitalism is inherently heirarchical. These people are the national socialist version of anarchists.

Yes its bad programing. These restrictions suggest that the company is either doing improper storage and processing, or does not understand how to deal with passwords.

The proper password storage is a hash. This is a cryptographic function that is easy to do and imbossible to undo. The hash function operates on the underlying binary representation of your password, and doesn't card what letters or symbols are in it. A program should take your password, hash it, and compare the result to the hash they have in their detebase.

The current recomended hash algorythm is called 'bcrypt'. Depending on the implementation, the input is between 50 and 70 bytes (the spec was a little unclear so people defined the inputs diferently, but the algorithe is the same). This means a password should be able to take at least 50 normal keyboard characters, including letters, symbols, and spaces. Anything less than that indicates a poor practice on behalf of the website.

(a lot of this is simplified. There is some variation and nuance that I don't think affects the main idea)

This is a good opportunity to practice managing upward. Engage with your boss about the book. Bring up a talking point from the book without judgement, and ask the boss what he thought about it. Ask what other talking points the boss found valuable, and why. Ask if there are any strategies from the book he woule like to try, and how he would test the success.

Your boss recomended the book, so in his eyes there is probably value there. Even if you found none, you can use this as an opportunity to understand your boss, and to clarify and shape expectations.
