No, the original story stated there was no cause given.. Of course here at Slashdot the prevailing excuse from Trump apologists was the risk that they might do "something", which somehow made sense to these people. Do we now form policy around your-out-of-your=ass fantasies?
It seems the "Supercharger" number is the figure often given and what many people don't understand is that charging at home is a drastically different experience:
Tesla says the 60-kwh battery provides a range of up to 232 miles.... Here are some examples for recharging times: With a single onboard charger plugged into a standard 110-volt outlet... From zero to 300 miles would take about 52 hours at that rate. With a single charger connected to a 240-volt outlet, the charge takes less than 9.5 hours....Step up to twin chargers on the car and connect to a 240-volt...and the total charging time drops to under 4 hours, 45 minutes..

Had you continued past 'introductory economics' you would have learned that most of what you learned isn't how world works in practice. Supply and demand regularly fails and rational actors generally are not.
Empirical evidence is what to believe, not theory, and not 'what sounds intuitive'.
Loved the fist Matrix movie. Philosophy, virtual reality, crazy new visual effects. I remember walking out of that movie and there was silence from the audience. Many were still processing the meaning and some were discovering brand-new ideas for the first time.
The news for me here is that people weren't aware of this.
Airlines control ticketing on their flights, does anyone think overbooking is an accident?
I can't count the number of times I've heard a gate agent announce "This fight is overbooked and we are looking for volunteers to...".
Sure, Clinton sucks, but the big knock against her and her email server was that she wasn't secure enough with it.
My quibble was the blatant arrogance of the act. That private server was clearly a move to preserve final editing rights of her tenure at the State Department and evade any future FOIA requests that may crop up during her next run for the presidency; and was there ever any doubt that she would run again?
The fact that she thought she could get away with it after experiencing the fallout from the exact same move by members of the Bush administration while she was a sitting Senator in Washington reinforces the feeling that her arrogance knows no bounds. She took a page out of the neocon playbook and figured she would show them how it's done.
Every other complaint is just a variation on "I shouldn't have to be price competitive because I was born in America".
In short - "it is reasonable for American citizens to expect a drop in standard of living down to Third World levels in order to fluff corporate profits."
In short - "It is entirely reasonable for American citizens to endure a drop in standard of living down to Third World levels in order to fluff corporate profits."
Which completely misses his point, i.e., that there is no Mac at any price or spec powerful enough to support Oculus. We aren't talking about cheap boxes here.
“It just boils down to the fact that Apple doesn’t prioritize high-end GPUs. You can buy a $6,000 Mac Pro with the top-of-the-line AMD FirePro D700, and it still doesn’t match our recommended spec. So if they prioritize higher-end GPUs like they used to for a while back in the day, we’d love to support Mac. But right now, there’s just not a single machine out there that supports it.”
Savings, pensions or retirement nest-eggs have evaporated for a large swath of Americans, Throw the 30% of Millennials still living at home on top and the levels of economic stress has skyrocketed.

Doxing individuals who are publicly disagreeing with your policies is something completely different.

Welcome to the DeEnlightenment.
What an embarrassment this country is becoming.

"I would have won had I not been subjected to the unprecedented attacks by Comey and the Russians..."
It's always the last straw that breaks the camel's back. Somehow, all the other straws don't matter.

So he is clearing $124,000 after housing and is crying poverty?
California spent several billions of dollars on the hyperloop...
Can I see a citation for that?
Not entitlement, incentive.
There was a time that working toward making a company successful was an incentive as it ensured further employment. Not anymore.

And... had Ireland not received a $64B bailout from the EU a few short years ago, maybe he would have a point.

It's sometimes helpful to first check to see if a layer of management is making a killing.

I believe there are PLENTY of other non-Mac computers that don't meet Oculus' specs. In fact, "Earlier this year, Nvidia stated that roughly only 13 million computers – less than 1 percent of all computers on the planet – are powerful enough to smoothly run VR games.". So now what?

I don't have a dog in this fight but... from your link: Oculus Founder: Rift Will Come To Mac If Apple "Ever Releases a Good Computer"
If you wish to stream ad supported content, fine. But don't expect me to pay for the service AND be forced to watch ads.
This is exactly why I axed Hulu.
Credit to the DNC and Big Media for spinning this so well. Putin only got got his hands on Trump research.... Nothing on Hillary.
What a load.

Labor laws are state specific - In California anything over 8 hours a day is overtime.

Taxing them more simply means higher prices for all the customers.
There is limited elasticity. Also assumes Apple products are influenced by supply/demand, which they are not.
