He's saying we're in a bubble?

thought so.

You might be right about the rest, but the Aptera is far more efficient than a Model 3. The published numbers put it at about 110 Wh/mile, while the Model 3 is at 230 Wh/mile. And, frankly, the Aptera numbers seem a little high for a vehicle with a 0.13 drag coeffiecient and with one less wheel. I think the Aptera design should be able to do better than 100 Wh/mile. Obviously, it's hard to make an accurate comparison between a real-world car and one that is basically vaporware, but something would have to be seriously screwed up for a design as light and aerodynamic as the Aptera to be barely better than a Model 3.

I'd buy one if they ever get around to making them. I've been wanting to buy one for 15 years.

Seriously, there's no Tron in Tron. How can anyone call this a Tron movie without showing the title character even once? Hell, there was an opportunity at the beginning of the movie when Ares invaded Encom. One of those security programs defending Encom should have been Tron. It's a missed opportunity amongst an entire movie of missed opportunities.

Further, where are all the other characters set up in Tron Legacy? Why should we care anything about this whole new crew of characters that seem to have no real connection to the previous stories? Legacy actually set up the possibility of an interesting sequel. Why aren't we getting that?

As for Leto, the guy can't act. Please, please, please stop putting him in movies.

The irony of the two stories being together on the front page, "More Screen Time Linked to Lower Test Scores For Elementary Students" and "Microsoft to Provide Free AI Tools For Washington State Schools" is just too good to fail to mention.

And so I'm replying to the both First Posts with it.

Yeah, nobody is buying this "sustain the development" nonsense.

Somebody needs to keep the servers patched. Somebody needs to keep the app targeting an API that the app stores will host. Bose can afford maybe 1.5 FTE's with redundancy on a rolling basis.

Did they ignore due diligence for a decade and just get nabbed running RHEL 5 and unlicensed Oracle Java on an old VMWare or something?

If Bose is a public corporation perhaps the FTC should have a look at their deliberations.

Funny how Trump institutes a $100,000 fee on H1-B visas and 2 weeks later Microsoft is all about investing in schools at “home.”

When you're angry about the Klan being portrayed as the bad guys...

Locally, yes, but the moisture that is accumulating previously evaporated and went somewhere else. What will the impact be there? Very hard to say.

Neither would have any of the other anti-consumer policy changes that are liable to financially molest you.

It's not just for Microsoft anymore

That is essentially what happened. They didn't fire 35%, those 35% just transferred their reports to others and became ICs (Individual Contributors).

The 35% figure at Google is misleading. The vast majority of those people weren't pure managers they were software engineers who managed small teams as part of their duties while also doing productive technical work. A policy requiring a minimum of 5 direct reports for each manager was put in place, forcing all of those people to decide to either increase their management and cease doing significant technical work or cease being managers and focus entirely on technical work. Many chose the latter option, often quite happily (there is no additional pay or other concrete benefit to being a manager vs being an IC (individual contributor)). This partitioning of people who were in mixed roles into roles that were either managerial or technical provided most of the reduction in line and middle management.

Yes, I expect Alphabet would decline. I worked there for 15 years and understand the culture and motivations pretty well. Culturally, doing something like that would cut against the grain, hard. Pragmatically, they wouldn't like to oppose the administration but they'd get a lot more PR mileage out of leaking the request and publicly declaring their opposition than it would cost them.
