CO2 is used to stun animals before slaughter. It's more humane than just cutting straight to shooting a bolt into a cow's head to stun them.
But the reason for the cooking in the UK is more about their history and the expense involved in raising meat in the UK. They have some pretty strict feeding and medication regulations for slaughter animals. Where here in the USA, we administer antibiotics, growth hormones and have no issues with GMO corn, in the UK you cannot do any of that and sell the meat. So it's hard to import meat and feed and Britain isn't exactly a great place to raise cattle being cold and wet a lot of the time.
Have you ever had meat in the UK? They have strict rules about how livestock are fed and what medications/hormones can be given to animals destine for the meat packers. They forbid imports from countries (like the US) that don't follow the same rules, so beef is expensive and usually a lot more tough than what we get in the USA. Chicken and pork are similar. They have some good lamb though.
but alas, none of that has anything to do with the article.
IF the manager who controls your contract gets laid off, you might want to assume your contract is at risk too. There is a good chance you will fall though the cracks (as in this case) or suffer the same fate for the same reason your manager got the ax.
The only unique thing I see in this story is that the system that automates terminations is pretty efficient and effective. Kudos to that company. I've worked at places that didn't have a manual process to remove terminated/separated employees access, much less an automated one, where we hired a guy back after a few years and his old username and password still worked on his first day... That's scary.
When they laid me off (one of the keepers of their firewalls who often worked from home) they hadn't learned. They even called me 18 months later asking if I remembered the firewall password... "Um... You mean the password I put in that document with the list of usernames and passwords that said Change these passwords now!? Absolutely not!" Those people where idiots and not just for laying me off.:)
Actually there are two rules of business and profit is #2.
Add cash flow to the top of your list. Profit is a strong #2, but cash flow is king. You won't survive to make a profit if you don't have the cash flow. Because of this, the #1 killer of businesses is lack of cash flow, not lack of profit. Think about it this way, cash flow is air, profit is food, you will die a lot sooner without air than you will without food. Then consider that as long as you have air to breath you have time to find some food.
Uh.. Not that I'd buy one, but I know a guy who has one and has offered to let me drive it. I think they are pretty nice, but way too expensive for me to afford. I'd put them on par with a fully loaded Lexus in appearance and function, but a bit below a Mercedes in comfort and interior finishing. Where it's fun to drive, unless my ship comes in (and I live in a land locked location) there is no way I can afford it.
They where not watching very close if he got gigabits of stuff transferred and had his "software" loaded on at least three systems and was looking for more and he'd only been there since October of last year. They where not watching the newbie or anybody there very close at all. I read it that he got caught trying to recruit additional conspirators to help who reported it and drew security's attention, not that the security audits or access controls caught him.
Musk's "salary" may be zero, but his compensation is far from zero. He's just structured his compensation to fit both his narrative (working for free) and sheltering income from the tax man. A possible 2.6 BILLION in stock for 10 years is a hefty bit of pay. Yea, he may not get all of that, but he's going to get at least some of it unless Tesla files for bankruptcy between now and then.
Note to self. Elon Musk is severely paranoid and never work for him.
Apparently not. Nobody was minding the store while this "process technician" was transferring the crown jewels to who knows where? A paranoid person would have security controls guarding this kind of thing from an insider threat and watchers assigned to make sure the worker bees didn't steal the honey.
I think Musk is just a egotistical CEO who is ticked off that somebody dared to try this, and I think he needed a reason to give to the share holders as to why they didn't meet expiations again.
Not that I'd work for him either. He seems to be the kind that will willingly drive the bus over his underlings to save face and has all the ego of Steve Jobs, with fewer results to justify it. But he's not offering me a job... So what difference does it make to me? None.
Then quit.
It never ceases to amaze me the gross sense of entitlement that certain types of people have.
I know right... But let's not forget, the poor huddled masses of labor who are trod upon by the man Musk, making nothing but stupid cars and paltry paychecks, while Musk cleans up drawing millions as CEO.
It occurs to me that the sense of entitlement runs deep in this country these days, especially with those who would work for Tesla.
It also occurs to me that Tesla lacks sufficient oversight and security controls if this guy was able to do this and nobody can figure it out unless he admits to it. He loaded software into their production systems... Seriously? That kind of thing should require multiple people concurring and set off a lot of audit alarms. This was mission critical equipment, then there is the whole "transferred data" problem. How's it that a mission critical production computing system can start transferring data off site and the network guys not notice? Who's watching this stuff over at Tesla?
Nobody believes the fake news anymore. Nothing but a bunch of haters hating on our beloved President.

Be fair here with the press.. He obviously likes the attention and loves to poke the press bear. It's a strangely mutually dependent relationship where he gets to control the issue of the day and they get to decry his position and sell advertisements because of the controversy.
...and Article 13, an "upload filter," which would require that everything uploaded online in the EU is checked for copyright infringement.
Do the people writing this crap have ANY IDEA how the internet works?
Do you really want the answer to that question? I mean it's OBVIOUS to me.
However, the politicians of the world are pretty much all in the same boat. Hardly ever do they know anything about the real issues they are trying to "fix" and most don't really care. It's not about actually fixing something, it's about being seen as trying to do something, right or wrong, about seeming to care, about getting covered in the press. So, if you hear a politician making confident assertions about some subject and how it should be fixed, chances are they are dead wrong.
That's exactly what I first thought. How will all these content providers remain relevant if Facebook, Google and Yahoo simply refuses to link to their content because they have to pay.
When did the whole model change here? I remember when the whole goal when making money was to get as many links on as many sites as you could manage to funnel traffic to your site and it's embedded advertisements. It's like this whole model has been upended and spun around by 180 degrees.
You do understand Uber has competition, don't you ?
Yea, but who knows who they are or has their app already loaded on their phone? Market share is your friend if you are on top and your nemesis if you are not.
Barry Obama failed to end the war in Iraq. Failed to end the war in Afghanistan. Failed to end the war in Korea. Failed to close Guantanamo. But President Trump can! God bless President Trump.
Um.. Let's be fair here.. Obama did end the Iraq war by packing up and coming home, regardless of the consequences... Also, how you blame Korea on him is beyond me, he was just continuing the "active strategic disengagement" approach with Kimmy boy.
The rest is for his voters to complain about. I figured his promises where empty on those fronts so I didn't expect he'd deliver and he didn't disappoint.
THAT treaty says you cannot lay claim to anything in space though military occupation and power. You cannot send a garrison to the moon and claim you own it for instance.
THIS. Why the hell aren't I seeing way more about the treaties prohibiting militarization of space!?!?!?
Technically, I guess he hasn't said he was going to arm anything in space, and we already have military use of space through several agencies by means of GPS, imaging, etc, but then WTF is the point of this so called Space Force?
What's prohibited exactly.. By my understanding only nuclear and WMD type weapons are prohibited from being stationed in space. That leaves a lot of military capability areas to develop.
And then there are all those treaties prohibiting militarization of space...
And, who isn't following those rules? I wonder...
Only Nuclear weapons and WMD's are prohibited by these treaties. I believe you can put conventional, laser or other offensive weapons up there all you want. You can also prepare to defend your assets in space using force.
Hey, Marines work for the Navy... How do I know? You work for who pays you. The secretary of the Navy signs their paychecks just like mine and I worked for the Navy.

His contract didn't get renewed. BIG difference.

the chinese pay better.
And you are willing to buy a Tesla knock off from China? No thank you.
Then quit. It never ceases to amaze me the gross sense of entitlement that certain types of people have.

My hovercraft is full of eels.
I thought hovercraft didn't have wh eels...
Yea, I'm sure the eels in the rivers would just love that.... Let's just flush the stuff more often. What could go wrong?
I'm pretty sure these "scientists" just really wanted to use their grant money to buy cocaine.
I think they just blew it on blow too...
Everyone knows that Eels prefer Crystal Meth to Cocaine.
Funny, every time I see an eel it's on ice.. I think you are right.
I think not.. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming....
If it's a problem, stop letting dealers and users flush their stash during arrest proceedings by always breaching though the bathroom walls.
