Oh bull. Stock prices are based on fairy dust and personality cults. Musk could change the name from Tesla to TeslaBlockchain and triple the stock price with no other changes at all.
Yeah no. They don't "rip design decisions to shreds". They analyze a product and help the manufacturer reduce their costs and build a better product. Or depending on who's paying them they help them build something better than their competition. He doesn't pick on Tesla's choices out of personal dislike, they make a comprehensive book on all the design decisions, their costs, their benefits and sell them. If he said the trunk was something he hasn't seen since the 90's it's because everyone else already found a better way to do it.
I also like how you slipped and called Tesla's customers "users". Show's your and Tesla's software background and how everyone else is a st00pid user to you. Well you're wrong. Most of us who aren't in Musk's cult do feel that things like fit and finish are important in a $50,000 car. So are safety features and the feeling that the engineers did their best to ensure you survive a crash.
Munro did another program talking about the Model 3's where he pointed out other design decisions by Tesla that just make no sense. Small panels welded inside the body for no purpose that just slows down manufacturing. Insulation material that was installed backwards, showing the lack of training Tesla's workers have, etc. He also really gushed over the battery and the electronics and enjoyed how the car drove, although it has wind noise which is something you only see on cheap cars anymore.
The M3 isn't worth $50k, it isn't worth $35k. It's questionable if Tesla is even going to make a profit off them at $50k which means it's only a matter of time before they start reaaaaly dropping in quality.
Linking to some random guy ranting for half an hour about a windscreen he apparently cracked himself with a hammer, claim "questionable build quality" -> "+5 interesting". I'd call that "pretty damned overrated" myself... unless we can have a "fraudulent" mod, in which case I'd agree with the +5
Yeah, sure.. Munro & Associates with 30 years of experience deconstructing production chains to find efficiencies, improve quality and lower build costs who does work for every manufacturing industry in the world is just "some random guy".. no wonder you posted as an AC.
Makes me think of that 80's movie Gung Ho where they rushed production to keep from being closed and cars were rolling off the line missing tires...
Plus with Tesla's penchant to make production changes on the fly, and the questionable build quality of the Model 3's they've already produced.. yeah, pass.
You can't run a line 24/7/365. There's routine maintenance, cleaning and various other reasons that production equipment needs to shut down for a period of time.
Employers "ghost" people all the time. Sometimes it's for legal reasons, like not hiring a candidate because of their race/religion/etc so you don't want to give them a reason to sue, but honestly it's mostly because they don't care and there's 3 more applicants waiting for your spot.
..are the exonerations? The truth is The Police and DA's are willing to bend the laws to use DNA evidence against you, but when that DNA evidence proves your innocence, especially if they've broken you down into confessing, they do everything they can to keep you from using it to get out of prison.
Frankly the World would be much much better off without the airline industry. The risk of invasive species and pathogens spreading would be greatly reduced. A significant amount of pollution would be cut.
Bwuahahahahahah! Oh wait, you're serious? I didn't realize, it was hard to tell with you gargling Musk's genitials.
One, more invasive species and pathogens move around via ships than ever on planes simply by the factor of cargo carried.
Two, weekly or daily rocket launches like the billionaire-o-nauts want will be just fiiiiine for the atmosphere.. right? They'd have no environmental impacts whatsoever! LMFAO
Three, actual science people who do life saving and progressing humanity work fly commercial planes every day.
Who mods this shit up? At best only a handful of people would pay millions to fly to Tokyo by space rocket. Why would the airlines care about that?
Musk fanboys who think they'll be taken up to Musk's personal meritocracy based Martian society. 99.9999% are likely to be replaced by AI before that could ever happen though.
Your leisure or business flight does nothing to advance humanity. Space research, on the other hand...
Yeah, physicists, doctors, mathematicians.. those science types never fly around to conferences to speak about their humanity progressing ideas or anything..
You're talking a couple hundred pounds of fuel per plane, they only have so much capacity as it is and they tend to only carry as much fuel as they need to get to their destination. I guess you expect the public to subsidize Musk's launches through higher plane ticket prices then?
How about Musk and his fellow space cadets pay for the airlines extra expenses whenever they're doing a launch. Or limit how many "spaceports" we really need. How about both?
Paper gets recycled, those thin ass plastic bags just become landfill or get tossed into the ocean. Sure, some will end up tossed out the window by a**hats but paper has a much higher recycling rate.
My favorite is when they ask you if you want your gallon jug of milk or similar juice/drink jugs in a bag... umm it has a handle built into it! Why put it in a much flimsier container?
Oh, and when they do come up with a fix, it will require an Apple Certified PIN Repair Pro certificate that doesn't exist, and parts they haven't ordered into their supply chain.
RIght? It's not even like Apple hasn't demonstrated exactly the behavior I pointed out before either. BendGate, KeyboardGate, AntennaeGate, BatteryGate. All instances where Apple shouted to high heaven the perfection of their devices then slowly had to walk it back after mass customer disillusionment and evidence they couldn't avoid.
Looked up Bruker. Nowhere does it say the devices themselves use Linux, just they have compatible software management that can run on Linux or Windows servers. Also, their MRI device is for pre-clinical animal use, from what their specs say. So not something you'd find in a hospital.
Words nobody has ever spoken: What OS does the MRI run? Windows 98. What?? We refuse to pay you multiple millions of dollars for that! Go look for a Linux version! *crickets*
Nobody makes a Linux MRI, because there are a bajillion support & certification requirements for software in something like an medical equipment. Which is why you can still find Win98 in brand new devices.
They're going to support it on a broad range of reasonable CPU's. Yes, that means some will no longer be supported, because the user base just isn't there or frankly needs to move on to something modern. The majority of people installing Windows 7 now are corporations who are slow to update to 10 and want to put 7 on new hardware until the last possible moment. NEW hardware. These are the people paying for support that is then shared with everyone else. That means bugfixes will eventually make running on older hardware impossible, and nobody's paying to support those ancient ass Pentiums.
Microsoft says they'll support Windows 7 until 2020, that doesn't imply or guarantee they'll support it on any specific CPU. I'd say I'm sorry for the writer that your 486 will no longer get upgrades, but really I don't care.
32 or 64bit isn't really the issue. They're still ARM chips and not x86 compatible, so you're stuck using Universal Windows Apps through the Windows Store.
Didn't we have this talk already? If you're going to be pedantic enough to insist on using GNU then go all the way and make it GNU+BSD+Assorted non-associated contributed packages+Linux then.
Speaking of revisionism, the Republicans came up with the ideas that lead to the ACA over twenty years ago. They only became opponents when Democrats implemented it.
They probably never expected the Dems to actually implement it to be honest.

In 6 months to 2 years Apple will admit, quietly, that this was all completely true and will roll out a repair program to fix the problem.
