Not everyone who works at a company is representing that company. Your status as an employee is a simple fact; it does not make you a representative to simply state your employer. The Twitter feed was her own private feed and she should be able to say what she wants without fear of retribution.
Every employer I've ever worked for would disagree with you 100%.
Most have very specific policies about social media behaviour and the minute you identify your self as an employee of Company X you have put yourself in a position of representing that Company.
If I decide I want to walk around town carrying a sign that says "Gays should be shot" then my employer isn't impacted and doesn't have much to say about it. Change that to "I work for Company X. Gays should be shot" Then I'm going to get rightly fired as I've now tied Company X to my hate speech. The fact that I'm carrying that sign not on company property while not on company time is completely irrelevant.
PS Apologies to the Gay community for using them as my example above. For the record, people are people and Gay people are perfectly fine and I do not advocate their genocide.
Beyond the 10% bump lets try to acknowledge the share price is at an all time high at the moment. Doesn't strike me that the market is really thinking that Apple is somehow doomed.
I believe they removed them to comply with Chinese law rather than "pressure". I'm sure there will be much dismay of this action but whether you like it or not, if you are going to do business in China... or any other country you need to comply with their laws whether you agree with them or not.
I think the point he is making that the deal he entered into with Ericsson was to be a FTE (Full time employee) and they didn't honor the agreement and instead treated him as a sub contractor but at FTE rates... the worst of both worlds. Less pay and no benefits.
As someone who also worked at Ericsson in their consulting arm I can agree they SUCK and have terrible management. After 5 "managers" in 3 years that they seemed to randomly pull out of a hat.... Jim will now be the manager , and he will manage, lets see, Bob and Tim and Julie! Lets meet again with the magic hat and change it up... I was so happy to jump ship to the client I was at the whole time who actually knew what I was doing and actually appreciated me.
I had a robomower a number of years ago... honestly the greatest thing I ever bought. Did a fantastic job and totally automated a job I hated. My problem at the time was it broke down after a season. Luckily I had bought at Costco , so returned and got a new one... which was fantastic, then broke down after a season. That one was returned for a refund as Costco strangely enough stopped carrying them.
At the time they were $1800 and for that price I didn't think that a major servicing was reasonable. I'm sure they have much improved in the last 10 years and someday I will definitely revisit. It really did do a stellar job and the set up with the control wire to fence it in really wasn't that much of a chore.
Ours was 200K.... in Canada. Canada is a big place, with varied housing markets. If your house was in Saskatoon maybe it was 35K. In Vancouver or Toronto, not so much.
If you're like most people over 45 you wake up because of the horribly urgent pressure on your bladder. Several times a night. The you wake up in a cold fearful sweat two minutes before your alarm is due because you're thinking about utility bills or the joy of family life. So you never actually hear an alarm, despite waking up feeling desperate and alarmed multiple times every morning.
Even the quickest of skimming TFA and you will see its talking about passengers using the carpool offerings of lyft and uber to hook up with other passengers, not with the driver.
All this ranting about uber treating their contractors as employees are completely misplaced in this thread. I guess at this point I should fail to be surprised.
Using self-driving taxis will be much cheaper than owning a car.
Just how cheap are you thinking it will get? Right now, when I take a cab to the airport from my place, I'm looking at it being about $50, while my car, which is not even particularly fuel economical by the way, uses about $3 for the same trip. Uber is cheaper than cabs, but not anywhere close that much.
You aren't factoring in your sunk costs nor other operating expenses. That $3 you quote might be your fuel costs but you are completely ignoring the purchase price, repairs and maint, insurance etc.
Factor all that in and that $50 might start sounding a lot cheaper, especially when you figure automated cabs should be cheaper as they have no labour costs and no reason to tip the driver as one doesn't exist.
I think you missed the point of my post which was responding to the fellow mocking the poster who said you could probably by 5 used medevac choppers for $5.7 million.
You also probably missed the part of my link taking 5 seconds of googling, so no its not a link to a used medevac chopper..
A hair over a million bucks and they have two immediately available.... that took another 5 seconds of googling.. I imagine an actual search could turn up something better , but it certainly seems to vindicate the first guys statement which was
"You could probably get about 5 well equipped medevac equipped helicopters on the used market for $5.7 million."
So it would seem that used, they aren't $10M+ machines , period.
Buy some real helicopters, then you can get humans there to do something about the problem. You could probably get about 5 well equipped medevac equipped helicopters on the used market for $5.7 million.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, do you? No, you don't. Once decent intermediate twin medevac copter costs about $12M. Each. To say nothing of the enormous maintenance and crew costs.
Don't hand me that bullshit. Earthlings were stand-ins for the white race and Klignons for the blacks. You can keep going from there. Surely you can't be that blind.
Nice try race baiter!
The Klingons were stand ins for the Soviets and the Romulans were stand ins for the Chinese. Anyone who can't see that wasn't paying attention. (At least that was always my take on it)
Try to keep in mind the political climate and the state of world affairs when TOS was in first run. The Cold War was running at full speed and fear of Communism spread over the world was in full effect.

Hades is the Greek god of the underworld. Pluto is the Roman version.
Oh for a funny mod point... this gave me a serious chuckle to start my day.
If I need emergency life saving heart surgery, I'm on the table near immediately.
Neither of those will put me in the poor house. I've lived in the US , health care is great, as long as you have great health insurance
I'm back in Canada now and it's a far superior system for the masses. Perfect? Maybe not, but a damn sight better than what's south of the line.

At least that's what they tell me.
I find your comment to be disturbingly accurate.

Remember, sharing is caring!
..The fuck is this supposed to mean? We're expected to shill for this movie because we're geeks? Disgusting.
Sharing is Caring is the go to term for Torrent Pirates.... I believe the OP is urging seeding of the movie

Doesn't appear to be anywhere near the rocket motor but almost directly below the payload.

Hardly fully medevac equipped but used and under 500K. Maybe he isn't the only one who doesn't know what he is talking about.
