It's like the US in a decade.

(I have been to both and would rather spend a week in Cape Town than Chicago for example)

My South African colleague tells me he is happy that you have adopted him.

Well exactly. It's not exactly as if there aren't enough well defined archetypes, methodologies and historical outcomes that fit this.

There are plenty of engineers that won't work there because of Musk. Being divisive and unpredictable is not a good characteristic and not how you run a business.

Basically there are better ways without making the sacrifices that have been and will be made.

Err he's South African, probably shouldn't even be in the US if judged by the same standards as any other immigrant, Cybercab is a shit show and the campaign support was the sort of thing we'd expect from a Russian oligarch.

If you're going to give anyone credit, the thousands of SpaceX staff who keep this thing on the rails are who need some love.

Edit: so by the downvotes I would assume that people are happy to violate immigration laws, try to buy elections and completely pave over the achievements of the staff to be a billionaire simp? Enjoy your future under the boot.

Buying shares in popcorn here.

Our company, US based, thinks this is bad enough that we have contingency plans for his presidency.

It’s easy. Lift and shift, then fuck it up by not quite completely migrate everything to numerous badly managed kubernetes clusters. That’s what we did.

Assuming the incumbent doesn't push through legislation to change that. Not sure how enshrined in constitution that is so can't comment on the feasibility of it.

Wise person. Wish we hadn't. Managed to multiply costs 8x (no joke).

Yeah. Well it's CCP or USA and as an outside observer I'm not sure which one is worse at the moment.

Don’t think it’s going to work. Even with 100% tariff on EV imports they will still be financially competitive with locally produced vehicles.

Or they build local.

near the end of the thinking yes.

I've used both extensively. I disagree with this. I dislike the HP48 series but I dislike the TI89 more. It's probably because most people don't understand how to use the 50G properly. You really need to go through the HP training video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTPruRVV-e8 ). Incidentally if you haven't watched that it's worth watching on its own - great production! In an engineering context, the 48-series was designed to produce small composable reusable programs and tools in the file tree which can be executed quickly.

Try a quick EE example for parallel resistor calculation that takes 2 and puts 1 value back on stack

<< 1/X SWAP 1/X + 1/X >>

Store that in RPAR in whatever directory you want or HOME. Then you whack in 2 resistors and hit the RPAR F-key. There is nothing faster or more efficient than that.

I still use a 15C all the time though. Even easier! 99% of what I do is on paper though and ends up getting chucked in the numeric solver.

Some of us (mathematics side) still actually work on paper with calculators. Most of the job is thinking which tooling doesn’t necessarily improve.

You just write the stuff down or translate it to LaTeX.

Incidentally the 50G (and Prime) has a decent CAS built in which seems to get stuck less than some other commercial ones.

I never liked the 48 series or the 50G (I own both) that much. I can never remember how to use them half of the time. I always end up back with my 38 year old HP 15c. That has done me through separate engineering and mathematics degrees and about 30 years worth of jobs.

They just issued new ones as well! (HP 15CE)

Zero. There are compliance and regulatory requirements that they have to meet for the license. An evil megacorp from hell I worked for had no problems in any of the left states other than their own lawyers being shit.

To be fair he does keep walking into it. Promise stuff, deliver it either 5 years after he said he would or not at all.

The beating should continue until the situation improves.
