Most of the engineering we do is outsourced to consulting firms so we just review and let someone else stamp it.

Long time ago, in another life, i worked at a magazine whose owner and publisher had the exact same mentality near the end. It started with ”everyone is expendable”, then evolved into ”why would i hire journalists when i can hire student interns to write for $2.5 a page?” I left long before that, when he sent me a payroll email claiming he only owes me $1000 for the past 4-5 months of writing and editing a section. Literally just emailed back “good bye.” and never showed up at work again.

He also literally percieved content as “that stuff between the ads”. And couldn’t grasp that content drives sales, and thus impressions, and thus ad revenue, rather than the other way around. A very special person. Edit: we also had a “very special” marketing department, that did things like call us 3 days before print, on a weekend, with an “emergency”, asking us to squeeze in a vertical 1/4 ad, in a magazine with 3 columns. It took an hour to explain why that’s a problem. “Just tighten up the spacing a little.” orcinus has issued a correction as of 19:54 on Dec 21, 2018 |

Oh man. just imagine Tesla’s autopilot trying to navigate a fork in the tunnel at 150mph, or entry/exit points. That thing will be nothing but carnage the instant it’s open to the public. If it ever is. E: V they tried to run a fast lap at the Nurburgring and it overheated within a minute and switched over to limp-home mode. red19fire has issued a correction as of 20:35 on Dec 21, 2018 |

i'm living in the future, so my present is the pastquote:On April 20, 1981, a cargo ship leaves Belfast Harbor for Long Beach, carrying the first DeLoreans that will be sold in the United States. As redesigned by Chapman’s team, the DMC-12 is essentially a Lotus in a stainless-steel shell. DeLorean has sold the world on the idea of a so-called “ethical sports car,” but the car he actually delivers is neither as groundbreakingly safe nor as pace-settingly fuel-efficient as he’s promised it would be. i'm the presence, my presence is the present quote:“No matter how much demand there is, you can satisfy it with a network of 3D tunnels,” he said. “If you have 20, 30, 40 tunnels, eventually you run out of people to use them.” so kiss my rear end

Girlfriend and i watching the Nightflyers. 20 minutes in, ship launching from orbit, two engines (out of 7) malfunction and the ship starts pitching back into the atmosphere. Before i can stop myself, i say "did Musk build their ship, or what?" Girlfriend blurts out without a pause: "Looks like it. Too many windows."

explain to me how TSLA's stock has been able to withstand the sell-off onslaught that is wrecking the market i know they are down 50 points in the past few days, but with all the different catalysts working against it (executive departures, toxic work environment, over promised/under delivered results, constant money drain, sketchy hail mary earnings report only profitable due to EV credits which will expire soon, FBI investigations, SEC violations, quality control problems, 900M in debt coming due in March that won't be able to be paid in stock due to the under 360 stock price, to name a few things) how are there still institutions and funds confidently holding this timebomb expecting some kind of amazing returns? 60% of the stock is held by insiders and institutions as best i can tell

Ben Murphy posted:explain to me how TSLA's stock has been able to withstand the sell-off onslaught that is wrecking the market People that won’t sell at any price are reducing the supply of stock out there to trade. Less stock trading bouys the price but funds can’t really sell because selling large tranches craters the price if you sell too fast. The large move down to $250 several months ago was Fidelity selling a portion of their holdings. If large funds want to liquidate, this stock is going <$100. Casual investors are starting to be tapped out money wise.

Waffle House posted:I think most people in this thread are living in a fantasy world where their enraged shitposting has tangible market effects his questions are legitimate the answer is some variation of “for the past twenty years, investors have been extremely lenient towards companies that can show substantial top-line growth even in the face of otherwise terrible valuation metrics” and say what you will about Tesla, they have been growing revenue like mad when that changes, so will sentiment probably

I've seen wheelchair bound old men grab women and refuse to leg go until the cops are called and throw piles of spit. I've smelled things you people would not believe, and had dozens of people cough in my face while watching the gang bangers scratch poo poo into the windows. And that's not even close to the poo poo that goes down in Japanese subways.  e: maybe i just ride the nicest rails in the country but having ridden the san francisco BART nearly every weekday for the last 5 years i've gotta say that the worst thing that i've dealt with was testing my will against the making GBS threads rear end scratcher that vacated his bowels before getting off the train, and he was still real chill, didn't even make a fuss about it.

Probably thinks that porn he watches is real 100% of the time That is not to say that Japan doesn’t have some issues on that but that’s why they try to fix it? I mean, I would argue that the reason why public transport is not utilized as much is because there isn’t enough (also massive stigma). But that would need him to argue in good faith so lol I mean Hong Kong has amazing subways,
