  1. Re:It is an auto plant on Tesla Factory Reportedly Described As a 'Predator Zone' By Female Employees (theverge.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But see, companies like Ford and Chevrolet and GM all went through this and they did fix things, which is why you don;t hear about these complaints from their employees. Tesla started up at a time when companies know that these actions cause problems, and yet ignore them like most other silicon valley companies.

    It always seems to be these libertarian styled companies that have the biggest issues with treating women like shit nowadays.

  2. " a Tesla spokesperson said. "After we carefully considered the facts on multiple occasions and were absolutely convinced that Ms Vandermeyden's claims were illegitimate, we had no choice but to end her employment at Tesla.""

    Neutral????

    Might want to look up that word.

    It's more that for you to make an insurance claim you must have a police report. Your most likely not getting the car back unless it was just some joyriders.

  7. I mean lying about the contents of your product is against the law.

    How the fuck is a news program's minor technical glitch worthy of the front page?

    It's so sad when scientists get old and turn in to crackpots.

  10. Re:False Advertisiing on Cable Lobby Tries To Stop State Investigations Into Slow Broadband (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    False equivalency, you said "If a grocery store advertised 1kg of apples for say $2", when the equivalent statement to the cable lobby should be "If a grocery store advertised up to 1kg of apples for say $2". At that point your 900g would not be false advertising.

    No evidence that the Slits ever tried to trademark their name in the US. No live or Expired trademark for "The Slits".

  16. Re:Drug delivery device on E-cigarettes 'Potentially As Harmful As Tobacco Cigarettes' (uconn.edu) · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure this study completely ignores the effects of the majority of the contents of tobacco smoke (ie a very small percentage of it is nicotine)

    Also has this study been peer reviewed or are we making claims on untested science... again.

    Seriously How many times do we have to hear about these studies right after they publish before anyone in the filed has had a chance to critique it, and we wonder why the rubes don't trust science.

    That's not true at all.

    Up until last year most of our office pcs were windows 7 64bit on hardware with 2 to 4 gb of ram. About 1/2 were 2 GB. Not great but for the software we ran it was usable.

    I don't think MS support for 32 bit has anything to do with your home pc. Look at other answers in the thread for why 32bit support is so important for industry. (hint its about really expensive devices)

    That ended when the Classic Mac Pro was replaced with the stupid tube, it was also the same time as the launch of their Retina screens. So 2012 was the last year Apple made a decent Mac in my opinion.
