I'm not sure whats so enraging about it. Average people having fun with a goofy lifestyle?
Some of the Jimmy Buffet stuff is tongue in cheek. I mean "cheeseburger in paradise?". Everything about the song is awful, and I think everyone understands its awful, but it's juvenile and fun. The margaritaville thing is a welcoming in-group. It's "who cares, don't worry about it, live and let live." Key West certainly reflected those values when I visited. I kinda get it now.
Each scooter has 2 smaller batteries, presumably because of this problem.
I own a Sur Ron too, and I don't find the stock battery weight to be an issue. ~30 lbs isn't unreasonable for the average person to lift. It's amazing they packed a dirt bike into 125 lbs. I'm able to lift it over barriers and load/unload it from my sedan, and it doesn't ride far off from a mountain bike. It's only twice the weight of a top of the line e-mountain bike, but has 7x the power output and goes further. Easy decision. It's the most fun machine I've ever owned.
Zero uses 3.6 kwh modular batteries. I'm guessing they are 40-50 lbs or so which is probably around the upper limit the average person would be comfortable lifting and loading regularly. I'm sure they could be engineered to sell them in smaller sized units, but I don't think they're actually hot swappable.
> ~30 lbs isn't unreasonable for the average person to lift.
I agree, but it's definitely at the limit of comfort, especially for smaller people (which I've witnessed personally). That's literally a third of the body weight of some fully grown women!! Much heavier than that and the batteries are just unwieldy, if not outright dangerous.
Stark's bike is cool, but honestly it's just the first of a wave of e-dirtbikes that are coming from literally every motorcycle manufacturer there is. (Stark's founders also seem to be a bit full of themselves, but that may have just been their marketing department getting a little overzealous.)
(I'd love to share your experience with the Sur Ron, but I only "own" mine in the sense that I was the one who purchased it. My son has been doing all the riding on it! Like you, he loves it. I see another one, or a Talaria, in my future soon.)
They filter out positives, though according to hiring managers, that's the point. I had a frustrating experience with a hackerrank recently. My code was passing all of the public test cases, but failing one of the hidden test cases, and there was no way (that I could find) to debug it. Incredibly frustrating. Even if you're a long time senior developer who can code, don't be fooled into thinking you can pass one without practicing on the particular platform.
I never hear systemd-nspawn mentioned in these discussions. It ships and integrates with systemd and has a decent interface with machinectl. Does anyone use it?
I've done the same drive, thru the farmland and cattle ranches to the south of the salton sea by Brawley. God it was noxious. Despite the sea having a reputation for an awful smell, it didn't compare to the farmland below. My throat hurts thinking about it. You sometimes get a similar effect in the san joaquin valley.
I'm salty towards the platform because they rejected me a few years ago, and my ego has barred me from using them again despite their outreach. I was also very unhappy when I heard about the public profiles. I don't want people to see that I interviewed poorly, or to have any kind of public record of that. I'm a decent engineer, I swear!
I had some bad luck. My nodejs build broke after a recent update on my machine, which I didn't realize until right before the interview. During a test with a different language, I tried to define a constant with the same name as a built-in function and ran into a vague compiler error (something about missing parentheses, ugh). This language has case-insensitive function names to compound the confusion. I unfortunately looked up how to define a constant in the docs. Their conclusion was that "I was uncomfortable in the language," despite having used it for 10 years. There was some other feedback which I felt was inaccurate, I think I just had a bad day, and obviously didn't convey my knowledge and experience well. I could see why a recruiter would hard pass on me for some of the stumbles, since their main goal is to forward candidates who interview well. It hurt to get rejected.
The guy didn't just cheat, he blatantly cheated, using the computer for every move outside of his first move blunder. Then he bragged about winning in the post-game interview.
The guy obviously lied about his chess background, he lost to a scholar's mate (4 move checkmate) in one of his recent games. He probably just said he had a chess background to sound smart. Arrogant narcissist.
