Technically not correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Not relevant in this case -- Kaiser Permanente is an HMO. He was in a Kaiser hospital, with a Kaiser employee as his doctor -- it's one system.

Things have been changing over the last few years; in general, the trend has been to find ways to offer a lower level of service for less money than what we used to think of as the basic Economy Class fare. This manifests in what some airlines sometimes call "Basic Economy," which has more restrictions and limitations on it than what you think of as Economy. Typically, the two things you lose in Basic Economy are A) The ability to bring on a full-sized carry-on (so everything you bring onboard has to fit under the seat in front of you) and B) Assigned seating.

I was about to respond, snippily, that it's not like there's a whole lot of people cancelling, and then thought I'd google.

Turns out AC's right -- people are cancelling, and in many cases Tesla's taking a really really long time to refund their money (up to 3 months, it seems). More at https://www.wired.com/story/ca...

Not technically "not refunding", but still pretty poor.

You don't seem to know how public corporations work. Specifically, "every single corporate decision" does not have to go through the shareholders or the board of directors -- the very very vast number of them are below notice for that group.

That's already the case. Drawings, animation, and written word aren't evidence of an actual child being victimized but are, actually, evidence of an actual crime because the crime is not defined by whether or not there was a victim. (I don't think that's the right thing, mind you -- I think it's asinine to claim that written child porn should be criminal -- but I'm just describing the law here, not agreeing with it)

Impeding an investigation is by itself a crime, irrespective of whether or not the investigation is into a crime that is later proved to be prosecutable, or the prosecution wins. As https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... notes, "If the person willfully and knowingly tried to protect a suspect." Key word here is "suspect". So when Flynn was being investigated -- by definition, a suspect -- Trump attempting to take the heat off of him was "willfully and knowingly" trying to "protect a suspect."

Yes. The Last Jedi failed just as badly as the Ghostbusters remake.

Other than the fact that two years later, Ghostbusters has totaled $229M worldwide and a little more than a month after it came out The Last Jedi has grossed about $1.3B.

Other than that, it's an utter failure.

9/12/61, JFK proposed the US commit itself to landing a man on the moon before the end of the decade. No meaningful successful prototypes existed (a Soviet man had already gone to space, but that's not the same thing as going to the moon, just like we already have successful examples of electric planes at the prototype level).

When Marissa Mayer took over Yahoo (July 16, 2012), it was trading at around $15.83. She announced her resignation about five years later, on June 13, 2017. Yahoo was trading at around 54.48, or around 344% higher. She took a shitty, failing, company that was going to die, and gave its investors a 344% better deal. And if you don't think that's a stronger position, you have no fucking clue what a CEO's job is.

No. No, they don't. Most of them do, but believing all do is wrong. I'm a hiring manager, and I determine comp for my candidates. I don't ask them what they're making right now, and I don't particularly care what they're making right now -- Our compensation strategy is "pay top of market," so I offer them what I think is top of market for their position. If they say "I don't think that's top of market," I ask for datapoints. If they say "well, you're offering me $X, but I have an offer from Google for $X+20, or I currently get paid $X+30," then great -- they just helped me figure out what top of market is. I adjust my offer, we move on. Never been turned down on comp yet.

I remember the Axis of Evil! It was a term first used by George Bush to describe Iran, Iraq, and North Korea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_of_evil). What's your point?

In countries other than the US and Canada.

Oh, that's interesting. Can you name many TV series and many movies where that's true?

I work in a Fortune 500 company. They don't MITM all (or, hell, any) encrypted traffic. I question your assertion that this is required by legal requirements. We're a PCI Level 1 provider; we're covered by SOX. No MITM. What evidence do you have that this is "required"?
