The bigger fish they should be frying should be the "crippling construction defects" affecting their newer ships other than focusing on minor issues like vaping in my opinion.
I say to Tesla: Reduce the complexity and(or) the gimmickry and see cash flow into your coffers. Folks, how about creating a near "normal" car with better range and more competitive pricing?
I for one know I'd be a sure customer. I also know that I am not alone. Who needs a car whose handles will pop out? These get "stuck" sometimes...and in a dusty environment, it gets worse!!
The average drug approved under the Orphan Drug Act of 1983 (ODA), which governs rare disease approval, costs $118,820 per year. Assuming a similar cost, if a single drug were approved under the ODA for 10% of rare diseases, the total would exceed $350 billion annually
In this chain of healthcare, who is making the money?
To be more precise, who is making a killing?
It's a fact that some entity (cabal) is making big cash, but find it hard to come to terms that this cabal or cabals are profiteering over the misery of others in these United States.
...You may wonder who exactly *is* incompetent in my post. I am referring to company leadership that has got no clue about how things run.
Sometimes, they do have a clue, but pretend not to know; or provide "non answers" or "non solutions" to real issues.
In many cases, these managers have risen up the ranks of the company solely because of *nepotism* and not capability.
Sometimes, they have risen because of "who you know" for lack of better terminology...
Sometimes they have risen because they [have] provided a "service" or "favor" to the founders or influential parties. I will leave the nature of this service or favor to your imagination...
And BTW, this is very common in today's USA as well. I am speaking as one who lives right here in this blessed "land of the free."
I am just happy that our president is delivering on his promise. What a pleasant bout of fresh air. Look, a president delivering on one of his promises is a big *big* deal in my opinion.
As mentioned in the story, quality is this or that...(I am paraphrasing...)
You know what, I had a young software engineer from Africa (a new graduate from one of their schools), who shrank a 301 line of code into 83!
It also ran faster if I could mention that. Before he took on the task, folks in my office (myself included), [quietly] belittled him, questioning his abilities.
He did the job. Before quitting for GM, this man had re-written manuals in English, a language he had to learn. Needless to say, he returned to our company as a consultant on some project that had incurred budgetary overruns and incompetency.
All at the hands of our so-called American trained "engineers."
"It's very clear to me, technologically, that it's not the technology base the world will be built on going forward"... [T]hanks to better mousetraps like S3 (for storage) and Spark (for processing), Hadoop will be relegated to niche and legacy statuses going forward, Muglia says.
My 4th grade English teacher used to say, "A bad workman blames his tools."
Laser weapons, which complement traditional kinetic weapons in the battlefield, will one day protect against threats such as "swarms of drones" or a flurry of rockets and mortars...
That is if their path can be correctly predicted. Some of these missiles/projectiles, especially from Russia, have random flight paths & no one is immune to them I am afraid.
Is there a problem having the "market" sort this out? Why [the attempt to] legislate it?
If this were some regimes in the east, we'd be trumpeting our "luck" for living in the west, where we have "all the freedom"' and minimal government involvement in our lives.
"We're committed to providing a better ads experience for users online. As part of that, we've decided to stop supporting 30-second unskippable ads as of 2018 and focus instead on formats that work well for both users and advertisers,"
I'd like to know why they do not implement this right away. It cannot be because they do not know what works well well for both users and advertisers now.

But seriously, we need to find out what happened. I hope it's a hardware issue and not software.
They continue to rake in profits. I was one of those who thought their pricey gadget regime wouldn't last this long. how wrong I was...
I mean, to me, UBER is just some form of app running company...with a few servers to handle ride requests; and some hook up to Credit Card companies.
I guess I do not get it but where does such a huge the loss come from really?

I think Boeing would borrow a leaf from the Russians. They still manage to produce planes cheaper, though not in big quantities.

...And not just the company heads, but the coders themselves.
Here's why: They authored code that when used as intended, would defraud innocent folks by default.
I must add that going to jail for a crime like this isn't that certain at present in these United States, sadly.

I had problems with that statement...Did you mean...

Sorry, I just had to ask...

So where are the best engineers?

Sounds relevant to me here.
The fact that the CIA was installing spyware doesn't mean that the CIA was installing spyware on the property of US citizens.
Do I smell naivety here?
Prior to this, I'd have thought America and especially its government agencies do not hack.
I guess I was wrong. What troubles me is that the media only talked about the Russians, yet the act was taking place in our backyard!
Question: Will the media put both the left and right to task?
This programmer defines what the robot should do; when it should be done; how it should be done & for how long.
Why is this even debatable?

I do JavaScript development. That does not necessarily mean I like JavaScript
Who said it means folks like you like it?
This is what it means:
It means folks like you help make it more popular. Do you deny this?
Each rifle costs $36,265, and has a range of 0.6 miles.
Bold mine.
Here's how:
Incorporate software in the drones to keep them at 0.7miles and above, while still doing what they need to do.
How about that?
Generally speaking, Bay Area tech companies have tended to of cut their workplaces off from the communities surrounding them.
Does this have a measurable advantage/merit?
I can think of one maybe: Small chance of [trade or intellectual] secrets "leaking" out.
I digresses significantly, but my point is, when the market is broken, sometimes it takes legislation to stop the "race to the bottom".
I wonder whether the airline companies themselves are reasonably profitable as they "race to the bottom." Are they?
Is there a problem having the "market" sort this out? Why [the attempt to] legislate it?
If this were some regimes in the east, we'd be trumpeting our "luck" for living in the west, where we have "all the freedom"' and minimal government involvement in our lives.
Of course some will label my opinion as "women in technology bashing."
Ever since she took over, Yahoo has been trending downhill!
I wish her the very best. So much for people of her ilk!
This man is delivering on campaign promises. What a [welcome] change!
