That's funny, in my 35 year career as a software engineer I've had my share; perhaps 40% of my managers have been women. And they were generally pretty good too. I can't say the same for the men managers I've had. There were one or two who were atrocious.
But somehow the other companies bidding on the project aren't equally newsworthy?
Is this like all the "on the internet" patents that were granted in the 90s? Now we say "Bombardier is bidding on a people mover between O'Hare and downtown Chicago, meh"
But Elon and Boring Company are bidding, so crank it up to 11, woohoo.
Basically you're arguing that two (or three) wrongs make a right. They don't.
And this is a perfect example of exactly the kind of "But what about-ism" that Twitler and company have engaged in since the beginning of the campaign. The whole "but what about Benghazi," "what about email server," "what about on and on and on."
What about Benghazi, that eleven investigations turned up no wrong doing. Ancient history. Thanks, we're past that now.
So, to the point: nothing about Obama's or Hilary's phones has any bearing now on what Twitler should or shouldn't be doing with phones. Nothing. If there are rules, and POTUS is supposed to be obeying the rules, then let's talk about that. Anything else, komrade, is deflection. Stay on target. Don't digress. We don't care about Obama's phone. What we care about now is Twitler's phone. That's what we're talking about.
Sure you can.`Oumuamua. That's an Okina before the O. According to [1] you can use a grave accent or an apostrophe when the correct typographical mark is not available.
I'm not an authority but that seem somewhat akin to whether the dots – e.g. over the e in ë – is called an umlaut or a diaeresis.It depends on whether you're using it in English or in German.

There are ideas like the people who figured out how to make CRISPR, and then there are ideas like "let's build electric cars and dig tunnels." One of these is not like the other.
Tesla paid back any money they got from the govt. Letâ(TM)s ignore all the bailouts the big auto firms you are in love with got.
Also all paid back, IIRC.
we need to wean ourselves off oil unless you like funding ISIS.
In 2016, 82% of our oil imports came from non-Persian Gulf countries. Somehow buying Canadian tar sand crude doesn't feel like funding ISIS.
Also if our auto companies fail I hope you like foreign cars.
I do like foreign cars. There's nothing wrong with that. I own Toyotas. The next car I buy will probably be an Audi. When American makers start making a car I want – including quality – at a price I'm willing to pay, I'll consider them again. When I was growing up my family owned a lot of GMs, mostly Oldsmobiles and Cadillacs. My first car was an Oldsmobile. I still haven't gotten over GM's destruction of that brand.
Tell me again how the Too-Big-To-Fail competition is still alive today? How quickly we forget about fucking bailouts. This excuse is growing old and tiresome. You may boycott Tesla, but are a shitload of subsidized industries which you probably continue to support every day by buying their products. Start putting your wallet where your mouth is.
I'm not sure what your point is. But maybe it's because I haven't had my coffee yet. But on the topic of subsidies, food, or really farms and farmers are subsidized up the wazoo. I don't like that either, but I don't have a lot of choice about buying food. I'm not really inclined to go back to subsistence farming to eat.
Telling people to put their money where their mouth is isn't really helpful. Maybe telling them to vote. To vote differently than they've been voting might be more useful. And probably just as futile.,
Hate Tesla? Or Musk? I dunno about hate. I think the fanbois who are trying to hold him us some kind of real life Tony Stark are silly. As far as I know he's just an idea man and doesn't have any real engineering creds. I don't believe he could build his way out of wet paper bag – he hires people to do that for him.
He got lucky wrt getting rich and I'm glad he's putting that money to good use.
I don't think he's winning any brownie points with the way he's dealing with labor issues at the Tesla factory.
Actually the car was a 60s "cruiser," it was a 67 Firebird convertible with a 400 (6.6L) Ram Air. It was a blast to drive. Pretty sure I'd still much rather drive that than any self driving car.
Yeah, I still emit some hydrocarbons these days, but not as much as the Firebird. But I'm guessing Tesla's Supercharger station won't be fully solar powered any time soon, so even driving your snootymobile doesn't come for free in the emissions department. I hope you're not holding your breath waiting to take delivery of your 3, in what, seven or eight years? If ever.
In the 70s, I could never drive from L.A. to San Jose, or vice versa without having to stop for a fill-up in Kettleman Shitty.
40 years later it's still the same. But wait, Now I drive a ICE car that gets 30+ mpg and I can drive all the way through on less than a tank of gas. Or I can buy a Tesla and time warp back to 1977. Does that come with an 8-track tape deck and a Eagles Hotel California cartridge?
Breaking news komrade, the Democrats aren't in charge. If there was something to find I have no doubt Twitler would be all over this like a pig on shit. Guess there's nothing there after all.
I believe I just paid $0.99/lb at Costco and I saw fresh turkey for $0.99/lb and frozen for $0.89/lb and BJs. If course you have to pay for membership at both, and BJs is only in the northeast.
Modern British English, in and around Norfolk, including Norwich and Great Yarmouth – where the American Pilgrims that settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts mostly came from – sounded pretty much like Americans to me when I was there.
And most Brits on BBC TV sound less and less "British" than I remember them sounding 40 years ago. But I'd stop short of saying they sound American. But maybe I have a better ear for it now than I did back then.
Hindi is just one of dozens of languages spoken in India. E.g. Gandhi's native language was Gujurati. I'm told that a fair number of people in the south never even learn to speak it. In the cities, in the offices and shops, English is what seems, AFAICT, to be spoken the most.

And you thought the Apple fanbois were obnoxious.
If you'd like, I could list the names of those people Trump hired who lied on their security clearance forms.
How about if you list the ones who didn't lie. It's a (very) short list.
Nice deflection.

It's like 1980 in Los Angeles and Pyramid Parties all over again.
At least in 1980 you could see if there was anyone behind you in line to get in.
Next you'll be taking credit for those too. Because you had almost as much to do with them as Musk did.
