But it was his money that broad the cars to market.

I don't disagree with your politics, but let's face it, without the current quasi-capitalist system and resultant extreme inequality, Musk would (likely) not have had the money to start Tesla in the first place.

Would it? What square footage of solar cells is required? How well do the cells perform in cloudy climes? Apparently well enough, as they mention a chain of stations from Vancouver to San Diego. Still, you'd need a fairly large parking lot completely covered with cells to make it work on a reasonable scale.

Still, I'm very excited about this, and could see myself buying a Model S in 5 years or so. By the time the larger recharge stations are in play (i.e. 5-10 years), the solar generation technology will have been improved, as well as the charging speed. Batteries and range will have improved as well.

As long as incremental steps like this keep coming, the goal of electrical personal transportation will get closer and closer.

"And that's why it looks so small."

It's nice to know that the slang from the original card from Alpha/Beta/Revised ("Magical Hack") survives.

What I want to know is if you could actually get this combo off in a game. Even with all four players colluding, I think it would be difficult. Manipulating the Chancellor of Spires to the top of the Library would be one of the more difficult aspects. I wonder if you'd need any other cards they didn't include to make it a "playable combo" (e.g. Library of Leng to increase hand size).

My kingdom for a mod point.

Man, I feel like an idiot. This isn't a case of, "It's obvious once you hear it." It's just plain obvious.

Well, thanks for the non-condescending answer. Also, ++ on the land-centric point.

Perhaps. If there is evidence that this company was not hiring anybody who goes through the process, I'll decry them right alongside you. But I doubt that's the case, as it seems to me that spending using 52 different programmers for a week each is going to net you less functional code than 1 programmer for 52 weeks, even if you aren't paying the 52.

OK, so it's a trade of labor for lodging AND a chance for a job. The 2nd of which is probably worth something of value to the applicant, otherwise they wouldn't do it.

How is this case illegal, or more to the point (since it's not), why do you think it should be illegal?

So higher than minimum wage?

Is there a law saying that I can't work for less than I'm worth?

See my other responses to your sibling's posts.

Into which class would trading labor for lodging fall?

No. I'm sure there are many factors that all contribute. Some of the bias you allude to could be legitimate signalling - someone who has gone through 20 interviews and not gotten a job is a less attractive potential employee than someone who's only gone through 1 interview.

Anyways, the original point (perhaps not expertly made), is that this interview style excludes a sizable chunk of potential applicants who, I think it is safe to say, are more likely to be good candidates. To argue that an unemployed person is just as likely to be a good candidate as an employed person is to argue that hiring and firing decisions are essentially random.
