Lets look at how a hedgerow is created. In medieval Europe fields were sectioned off into small areas with hedges between them. Every year due to frost action rocks are driven to the surface by frost action. Every year farmers go through their fields and throw these rocks into the hedges. Over the decades and centuries these hedgerows become very solid. In effect they were stone walls with hedges on top and there were a lot of them on Normandy. here is a better explanation of why hedgerows were a problem.
For essentially every single product in history there has been some point in its early production when it was "losing $8400 per unit".
Agreed, the thing is how much time do you give them before "investing" becomes "throwing good money away in hopes of recovering money already invested".
BTW, there is no need to belittle someone in a civil conversation. It is a blatant intimidation tactic and uncalled for.
Even so, none of the examples of "belittling behavior" strike me as significant enough to involve the court system.
The behaviors were only some of them and though each individual one is not significant, combined that can make working hell. They may also lead to other employees treating her similarly. For example, if the boss stops acknowledging an employee's presence others may stop as well.
The very notion that the courts are being called in to resolve a personal spat strikes me as utterly ridiculous.
It is not the courts. It is the Fair Work Commission, a body set up to deal with situations like this.
She could quit but that has unemployment benefits issues. Where I live if you quit you don't get any benefits.
"shh" don't tell the investors but Tesla still has not made a profit in four years. Last year they built 35,00 cars and lost US$294.0 million. That is $8,400 per car.
Transformers are part of it as are HVDC lines, improved switching, more grid capacity, etc. The reason no one is doing it is cost. To update the grid to handle long distance power transmission in the US could cost $trillions. Technology is great but who pays for it.
The problem with using dams is that most dams also have rivers coming in and rivers going out. In certain times of the year the reservoir is full and there is no ability to store more water. Other times of the year there might be enough excess electricity to pump most of the outflow water back up. That can lead to wide variations in flow downstream. Very low flow at time when electricity is stored and much higher flow when electricity is being generated. This can cause major fish kills, municipal water issues and irrigation water shortages downstream. A hydo dam already has enough trouble balancing storage, production and outflow without dealing with pumped storage.
Pumped storage works best between two reservoirs but the the number of places where the geography allows enough drop and water availability allows enough water to replace evaporation/seepage are limited.
Some toxic chemicals make better electrolytes than some non-toxic chemicals. If one chemical is 5 times as efficient as another then the tank can be 1/5th the size and get the same storage. Then there is stability to be taken into consideration. You don't want to have to replace fluid or plates in the stack often.
The main problem with your post is that it does not address what the OP said;
Gaming a test is not unethical. Tests were made to be gamed, rules were made to be broken.
You seem to be arguing that some rules are made to be broken. The OP's premise is thatall rules are made to be broken. Those are very different premises.
Your slavery analogy is also flawed. What you are asking is to view the action from the past through the lens of today's ethics. That is not a valid scenario. Today's ethics are different that ethics from a couple of centuries ago.
I think it's pretty silly that the item under test was informed, or able to tell, that it was under test.
Say the speedometer sensor is on a non drive wheel. During a test the vehicle would be on a test stand. The computer can sense that the engine is on and the vehicle is in gear but the speedometer is still registering 0. That is a pretty obvious sign of a test.
I believe there was at least one mechanical engineer that designed the motor and found that it didn't meet emission standards.
Also "real" engineers that screw up do not necessarily go to jail. The one who caused the GM ignition switch problem hasn't even been charged. Some go to jail, some don't and when they do it is usually for directly causing death or injury.
Considering that the boycott only has 15,206 signatories since 2012 and many of those will still submit papers to Elsevier, I doubt the boycott is even on their radar.
Where is the proof that the video was actually watched? It is quite easy to start a video and then do something other than watch it.
Watching a video is very different that learning. One can watch a video and not absorb the content. This is why most certifications have tests to find out how much learning has actually occurred. Even Team Treehouse has quizzes after their videos.
Giving certification for watching videos if ripe for abuse.
Lets see, rehabilitation, sadism, and sociopath. Three words you have used and do no know the meaning of. This conversation is becoming hilarious. Following society norms is the opposite of being a sociopath. Considering all civilized societies have incarceration it is pretty normal. You make me laugh.
If you can describe the process then why don't you? I don't believe that you actually understand the process of rehabilitation. To you is is just a buzz word.

I have looked and I can not seem to find a complete budget for the road map. Before we ask if it is affordable we need to ask how much will it cost.

You missed cost of storage. It costs significantly more to build and place a 50,0000 gallon tank than it does for a 5,000 gallon tank.

So when is lead paint the only valid option? That is the problems with absolutes. Most of them have exceptions.

The difference between a software engineer and a real engineer is that the latter goes to jail for fucking up.
Isn't "mistake" a synonym for "fuck up"? I am just refuting that statement.
You missed the part about breaking emission laws and causing additional pollution which effects the environment and people's health.
I believe there was at least one mechanical engineer that designed the motor and found that it didn't meet emission standards.
Also "real" engineers that screw up do not necessarily go to jail. The one who caused the GM ignition switch problem hasn't even been charged. Some go to jail, some don't and when they do it is usually for directly causing death or injury.
One estimate puts the cost one way at €5,000 (£3,700) per seat for a Brussels to Sydney trip.
Does that price include any amortized R&D expenses? I somehow doubt it.
Considering that the boycott only has 15,206 signatories since 2012 and many of those will still submit papers to Elsevier, I doubt the boycott is even on their radar.
That is exactly my point; without the test the gold star is meaningless.
So you took a test to prove you did the work. That is proof and you are proving my point.
You probably had to wait six weeks because they wanted to print all certificates at one time. It is less expensive to do it that way.

So true. It is the person who has the problem who must do the work. Have fun with it.
New word for you to decipher:
Peace!
Yet another word you have no idea the meaning. Peace is not letting people do what ever they want no matter the damage. The is surrender.
Lets see, rehabilitation, sadism, and sociopath. Three words you have used and do no know the meaning of. This conversation is becoming hilarious. Following society norms is the opposite of being a sociopath. Considering all civilized societies have incarceration it is pretty normal. You make me laugh.
Having uncomfortable consequences for illegal activity is sadism? lol
If you can describe the process then why don't you? I don't believe that you actually understand the process of rehabilitation. To you is is just a buzz word.
It seem strange that you can not seem to actually describe the process of rehabilitation.
