LG can't make enough 64kWh battery packs to meet the demand for new cars like the Kona and Niro. Nissan can't make enough Leaf 40s to get the lead times down below a few months. Tesla's problems are well documented.
These are not compliance cars either. The Kona in particular looks like being the first long range, affordable EV and it's generally regarded as a pretty nice car all round.
I had to Google who she was, but jeez how could anyone defend her?
I'm any case, I think the original tweets were an overreaction and uncalled for. But so was firing her and the other guy.
I don't really get the white knight allegations... I mean, we don't even live on the same continent, I'm happily married and the only "reward" I get from all this is a bunch of -1 mods.
If it's anything I'd say it's annoyance at the narrative that gets pushed around here, and my Quixote-like delusion that posting this crap on the internet where someone might find it at -1 matters. I mean, it's 00:05 and I'm posting this nonsense...
You used the #metoo hashtag. You don't seem to have a personal experience. In the past you have demanded that women make credible and specific accusations, but now when politely asked refuse to provide one of your own.
Ah the very least, you seem to be acting in bad faith and got very defensive when I tried to engage with you. Why are you acting this way?
I guess it depends how sensitive you are. Seems mild compared to a lot of the stuff that gets posted, and harsh for an instant firing offense with no warning.
Indeed, one of the things that makes it hard to deal with is the seemingly anonymous nature of the attackers. But that's also their weakness, because the bots and fake accounts they hide behind are not too difficult to spot when you know what to look for. Once you see a lot of fake accounts involved it discredits the attack.
I remember racism on Usenet and email lists based on the time people posted or the message path headers being used to infer what their nationality was.
That's a very long post about Price, but she lost her job and bares no responsibly for the mob that used her firing to instigate an attack on other random women.
The real problem here is not one person who was punished for some rude tweets, it's we have a mob attacking people because of their gender. It's important to publicize it and develop countermeasures so that there are not more victims.
It would also be great if we could understand the people behind this and their motivations. Some people want to write it off as general trolling, like it's some innate property of the internet that just happens spontaneously, but there is a years old pattern of attacks on women specifically with deeply misogynistic motivations.
People shouldn't have to hide their nature just to avoid harassment or discrimination online.
Beyond the moral argument, many people build an online persona to further their careers or build a reputation. Most of the people contributing to Linux, for example, use their real names and are often doing it as part of their jobs. In this case these women obviously wanted their names on the credits of the games they worked on.
A female game dev was a bit rude on Twitter and ended up getting fired after people complained to her employer. Some guy on Reddit commented that it seemed like they could get anyone fired by complaining to their employer...
So 4chan trolls got together and started doing just that, targeting random female developers. They screwd up though, because their mail merge failed and sent messages complaining about %FEMALENAME.
There has to be a level of tolerance. I guess the level depends on the employer, but it's probably somewhere between "literal Nazi marching proudly" and "voted for the other candidate".
Perhaps you could share your experience? The more we know, the better we can deal with it.
Perhaps a Wikipedia entry or a site that employers can be directed to which explains this problem could be created, so that if you are a victim you can show your boss and hopefully get the matter resolved.
At least this time it's all been well documented and understood, so that the attacks on these women seem to have ultimately failed and if anything backfired. These kinds of sloppy mistakes with mail merge apps are nothing new, but unfortunately sometimes the messages look genuine to the victim's employer.
Did you even read her answer? She isn't claiming anything. And acknowledges she wasn't the first to use that term.
Rather than having a genetic copy/paste rant can you first read her responses and then make specific criticisms? Because she makes some good and interesting points.

This illustrates why many freedom-loving Americans are confused by European socialism. Ironically it's because they don't understand freedom.
with much freedom to pursue your dreams and live your life as you wish
In other words it's not just freedom from things, it's freedom to do things.
Many EV manufacturers can't keep up with demand.

Hmm, what kind of easily triggered mod considers this a troll?
They need to think about their level of sensitivity and commitment to freedom of speech.
Until I see a pastebin
Fuck me, that's your standard of proof?!

I meant your personal experience, not a survey of incidents.

This claim is untrue.
No need to speculate. They discussed doing it openly on 4chan. They always do.
These are just random people working in the games industry.

What are the identity politics here? Being a woman and working in the video game industry is not a political statement.

Just wanted to say thanks for answering our questions. Some interesting stuff there.
Just buy an AMD CPU. The massive performance killing fixes are not required for them.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like Chrome detects Intel CPUs before enabling this.

Assuming you can't just extend the life of the tower somehow, like they do with nuclear plants that suffer from fatigue.
If the cost was really this high you would expect there to be a big market for upgrades that fit in the existing structures.
