The media doesn't evaluate stories based on some "deserved to be reported" scale. They report stories that they believe will interest their viewers. And Tesla has obvious interest since the company is always in the press, for both the good and bad.
And yet those same investors who blame the media for negative stories that drive down the price of their stocks never complain about the stories which drive them up.
It's the modern version of blame the messenger. Chris Rock said it best when addressing how people blame the media for the "portrayal" of race and crime - "When I go to the ATM money machine at night, I am not looking over my shoulder for the media."
It's falling because the stock price got way ahead of the company's prospects, which Musk himself has previously acknowledged. The fires were only a catalyst that reminded investors of the systemic, secular, and event risk associated with any company, and in particular for a company that is valued for perfection by the markets.
I wouldn't be surprised at subliminal ads being targeted to toddlers who might play with tablets, so that they grow up being better 'consumers'. Brave new world.
The genie is out of the bottle. Users, particularly non-USA users, will never again trust American internet service providers. I expect far-reaching ramifications, the extent of which wont be fully known for a couple years.
If they're really looking to see who is likely to be involved in an accident they should let customers opt-in to a smartphone app that detects when the phone is traveling in a car and report whenever the phone's cell (without bluetooth or headset) or data services are being used.
Maybe I'm overlooking the significance of this discovery but why is it surprising that a bacteria strain with a greater "genetic variability" would fall under natural selection? Wouldn't such a strain naturally survive others considering it allows the bacteria to rearrange antigens and thus the ability to evade detection and destruction by the host's immune system, even if those latent facilities aren't immediately apparent to an observer who doesn't know the full evolutionary history of the strain?

To teach the industry that consumers wont accept being force fed content consumption models that require us to bend over and take it up the arse just so that Lumbergh's stock can go up another quarter of a point.
Regardless of which side of the warming debate you're on, hearing reports that a climate projection was off by half doesn't instill confidence that scientists really understand what's going on.
Can't disagree with you but what exactly was incorrect in what I said? If I ship a package that is lost to a fire in transit while in UPS/FedEx custody then it needs to be insured by me in order to indemnify against loss. The UPS driver going on the news and saying how much he loves his Tesla-powered UPS truck while it burns in the background isn't going to bring my package back.
I stopped flying before they had identified the cause. But they knew well before arriving at root cause that the problem was a rudder hardover - they just couldn't figure out the conditions which led to it.
And training didn't fix the issue perse - it only made it less likely to lead to a crash since it added some margin to the approach speed (more headroom above rudder cross over velocity).
I guess I'm just tired of seeing thinly-velied advertisements for Tesla's stock on/. At least the pink-sheet stock emails I received in the 90's had some interesting stories behind them, and even when they didn't I could route them to my junk folder instead of having to see them on the front page of/.
I stopped flying in 737's until Boeing implemented a workaround for the hardover rudder problem that caused 737's to yaw on their side and fly straight into the ground.
I'll have to start buying insurance for the packages I ship by UPS/FedEx ground. I can imagine waking up one day to check my tracking and finding a "Your package has been destroyed in a roadside fire incident".
If I'm going to suffer through a 2 minute commercial lead-in for a "doctor" video it better be a doctor that can cure heart disease or cancer instead of one telling me I should buy a 3-D television.

That offer no significant feature or usability improvements and are sold only to extract another toll from their users.

But the treatment process is very delicate so it's only available a few times a year.
Whereas Google can. When I think cutting-edge technology and encryption Yahoo is the last company that comes to mind.

Nope, just was gas. Has passed.

"We didn't murder that guy. We made a diligent effort to help them avoid a worse fate"
I bet whoever made that statement from Kleargear thinks they're really clever. Once this goes in front of a judge they'll quickly learn - not so much.

I'm sorry but your accurate information comport with the premise of my joke so I have to dismiss it out of hand.
