@FergieSec @Bashfulrobot Great but pretty much irrelevant. The company itself rarely or in my experience never remembers. So the real shock to employees usually comes after a reorg, relocation... when all that hard work is worth nothing. So work hard because you're passionate, not just for that company.

@SwiftOnSecurity There's been research and TED talks about this delaying, and it appears that, in general, it delivers better results compared to folks that complete the assignment long beforehand. It appears it's because a lot of thoughts go into it as well.

@BasedPsych @cnviolations You need to add the chance of getting sick from the milk. Then, calculate the odds after trying 4 times a day for a few years. Babies have an undeveloped immune system, so chances are pretty high that something goes wrong. Extremely bad take.

@Dirk_Lauwers @torfsrik "Fight" als in vechten voor elke stem. Wordt waarschijnlijk op elke rally herhaald. Uit de context trekkem is te gemakkelijk. Net zoals zijn "bloodbath" quote. Dat ging over de economie, niet over iets anders. Zo'n uitspraken scheef trekken is ronduit liegen eigenlijk.

@bradbelltv @lillydancyger @jimwebber Violence or the promotion of violence is illegal and the law should be involved in those cases. In most other scenarios it's a simple disagreement and equating that to "violence" is simply muddying the water and that is ironically something an actual fascist would do.

@immasiddtweets Why is Apple blocking this choice for us Europeans? It's probably a few lines in a config file somewhere. Apple coders aren't really that bad at their job, you know. The EU has taken down larger players than Apple. EU citizens benefited as a result. Those are the facts.

@cymba_de @Tesla I don't have a lot of sympathy for a German complaining right now. German lobbying and ex-Mercedes people infiltrating EU regulations make it hard for Tesla to move ahead. I'm amazed they're still trying at all. It'll all horribly go wrong once FSD comes out of beta of-course.

@skdh @FinlayMacNab So again, a whole tirade with false arguments (the need to stop consuming fossil fuels immediately) just to prop up nuclear power with ever increasing costs of construction, decommissioning, and waste storage. In a long period with falling prices for solar, wind, and batteries.

@schulzb589 @peterrhague @leoalexart This is happening at a time when the EU is investigating the German car industry after VW admitted to collusion with their competitors, in the hope VW will escape severe punishment. This violence for Tesla is insignificant compared to the German ICE car builder problems.

@durreadan01 If iOS breaks completely because of a simple app, maybe people shouldn't be putting so much faith into it. We've heard the same crap from MS in the IE6 days and see what it took to get rid of it. Bad software architectures cause real damage.

@garyblack00 In essence, Tesla is now sandbagging stock because of the nature of the products they are about to release. Producing millions of CT, compacts, robots, semis, FSD,... it just takes a lot of effort. I for one, am optimistic, and that is why I'm also optimistic about $TSLA LT.

@ShowInvestment @GerberKawasaki @farzyness The scenario doesn't make sense to me. If Tesla can't deliver because of the insane demand, despite high prices we might add, doesn't that mean GK should BUY $TSLA, not sell? And if Rivian delivers that truck immediately, doesn't that mean they're having trouble selling them?
