Here's the thing, if older folks are so valuable why do we need laws against age discrimination? Wouldn't the free market shake things out when a company that hires these more experienced laborers out competes the one that fired them?
Change "older folks" to "black people" and "age" to "racial" and then tell me that anti-discrimination laws imply that the people who are discriminated against are less valuable employees.
It would not be surprising to me if Tesla never produce the $35k version of the model 3. It may be that, because of all the extra costs they have incurred getting their assembly line capacity to where they need it to be, that the base Model 3 cannot be made for $35k per car. Then, if Tesla can keep the production line running with orders for the more expensive models, why would they make cars at a loss?
As lots of other people have said, on any rational evaluation, the stock is overpriced. The short sellers are acting to correct an anomaly in the market. This is generally a good thing. Note that short sellers are not betting that the company will fail only that the stock price will go down.
The other thing to note is that, generally, the stock price of a company is nearly irrelevant as far as day to day operations are concerned. The stock price will not affect Tesla's short term ability to raise Model 3 production, so chill out about the short sellers.
Where a low stock price does have an effect is in terms of investment for the future. For example, Tesla might want to raise capital by selling more stock or they might want to use the stock as collateral on a loan. It also might affect their ability to recruit and retain good staff if stock options are part of the remuneration package.
I don't know why the Tesla fanboys are so obsessed with the short sellers (unless they own Tesla shares). Tesla is overpriced so of course there are short sellers. But it doesn't matter because the fanboys are sure that Tesla is financially sound, right?
Uber is a minicab company. Minicab drivers do not need to pass the knowledge. The difference between a minicab and a black cab is that minicabs can't just pick up customers off the street, they always have to be prebooked either by telephone or by app.
Uber drivers in the UK still have to get a Private Hire Licence and commercial insurance and if you check Uber's UK application page, you'll see that |Uber acknowledges this.
Who gets awarded costs is totally at the discretion of the court in England. The normal principle is that the loser will pay (what the courts think are) the reasonable costs of the winner, but that's not guaranteed.Reading TFA, it looks to me like Uber have accepted the reasons why they got suspended and have agreed to try to fix them. In return they have been granted a probationary licence. I think technically, they lost the case but because they have said they will mend their ways, they are getting their licence back. It seems to me a reasonable compromise has been reached.
Prepare to be disappointed because it is not true. They didn't brute force the "passwords" at all. They used a lot of social engineering techniques to guess the decryption of fragments of the message which they would feed into the bombes to extract the rotor settings. For example, if you intercepted a message every morning at 9am from a weather station,, you might guess it contains the word "Wetterbericht"and you could guess where it is in the message by the fact that Enigma would never encrypt a letter as itself.
Medical studies do not, as a rule, have a control group consisting of people who are not treated at all. That, in most cases would be morally impossible.
It would also not be that useful.
When a new treatment is developed, the question to answer is not "is it better than no treatment" but "is it better than the current treatment". For this reason, the control group consists off people being treated with the current best treatment and their outcomes are compared with people getting the new treatment.
As for answering the question "are vaccines dangerous?" You can do a study (rather than a trial) of people who have and who have not been vaccinated. In the UK, the take up rate on MMR is 93% roughly. That still leaves you with a lot of unvaccinated children in absolute terms that you can follow.
It really depends on how many of those orders are for the cheap version of the model 3 (which he won't be building until some time next year) and whether Tesla can make a profit on each $35k model 3 that they sell. If they can't, then those orders become a millstone and, personally, I suspect they can't because Musk has already announced a super duper fast model 3 at $75k even though they can't cope with the demand for the "existing" versions (I put "existing" in scare quotes because the $35k version really doesn't exist yet).
1. borrow bitcoins off somebody 2. sell them to somebody else 3. do 51% attack and make sure it is publicised 4. buy bitcoins back at a fraction of their previous value and give them back to the person you borrowed them from
Not the market: people who have got iPhones. I have an iPhone, I don't use FaceTime because many of the people I would talk to do not have Apple equipment.
Columbus's expedition was driven entirely by the prospect of profit. If there were profit to be made from deep space exploration, we'd already be there doing it. There is no profit to be made so private enterprise is not doing it.
Are you talking about the graph that shows it growing exponentially more negative with a few returns to just about positive between models?
The problem is that the debt required to finance all those long red bars (and more to come because Tesla has already announced more new models to be developed) might eat all the positive cash flow and more. If you were looking to buy some stock and you saw that graph without knowing it's Tesla, would you put money in? I wouldn't.
Exactly. So why is everybody getting so wound up about GitHub. It doesn't matter what happens to it. If it disappeared tomorrow most people would just clone their local repos to some other service providing git.
When you say "looks more like reality" what you really mean is "agrees with your preconceptions". The 66% by the way is in 52 countries i.e. not the whole World.
XNU is a kernel. It's based on the Mach microkernel, it's not BSD.
In Apple's operating systems, the virtual file system and network stack are based on BSD but have been substantially rewritten, the kernel is XNU and the device driver infrastructure was written from the ground up by Apple. There's a BSD compatibility layer and the userland command line tools are mostly BSD. Of course, the GUI and a lot of the other frameworks on top of all that Apple proprietary software.
I don't know how much of the Linux kernel there is in an Android phone but it's probably more than there is BSD in an iOS device.
One company has 19% of the Smartphone market and it's a sliver? Only one other manufacturer has a similar sized market share and that's Samsung. So if these two both only have slivers, what does everybody else have?

Also try it with "women" and "gender".

Or more likely to understand that IBM's business strategy is bollocks.

How about "bait and switch"?

They are not killing all their car models. Ford operates globally and they are only killing their car range in the USA.

In the UK if you say "Fred topped himself", you mean Fred committed suicide.

You can make hydrogen gas by electrolysis using electricity.
But I agree that fuel cells are not a practical option at the moment, but then neither were electric cars until quite recently.

Which has nothing to do with this. The thumbnails are not created by the kernel but by the Finder, which is not open source.

You are behind the curve. The gag order on his arrest and conviction has been lifted. Even the BBC are now reporting it.

And the gag order was there by the way, because of the reporting restrictions on the original trial that Robinson was violating.

Not if you have a short position in bitcoins.

2. sell them to somebody else
3. do 51% attack and make sure it is publicised
4. buy bitcoins back at a fraction of their previous value and give them back to the person you borrowed them from

Github is the big player. If this breaks its dominant position I call that good.
