Nothing about Guantanamo bay is legal. Cuba has requested we leave and stopped taking payments for the "lease" of the land there. It being illegal means nothing if there's nobody that'll do anything about the US's crimes.

They are less likely but that does not mean it hasn't happened. The first air strike on united states ground was the national guard striking miners at the behest of the company.

If you're in another country working for a U.S. corp you're in much worse shape. Coca-Cola can murder you for forming a union in another country and get away with it!

Do you have any resources for getting started? I struggle with ADHD every day.

Keep in mind I said "Elon's companies", not "Tesla"

$4.9 Billion in subsidies as of 2015 across 3 companies

We can talk about Gm if you want but I don't see how its relevant to my original point. Are there gas stations where only GM cars can fill up?

Elon has received billions from the US government across his companies. It'd be a slap in the face to the entire US population for Tesla to have a 100% proprietary charging network when we helped get the company going.

I find this analysis hard to take seriously. The majority of Tesla owners aren't average Americans, most have homes.

Secondly Tesla has positioned itself as a luxury car manufacturer, a better comparison would be the Lexus ES Hybrid($42k base) vs the model 3($39k base), Or comparing the Camry hybrid ($28k base) to a Chevrolet Bolt($37k base), or even the Nissan Leaf EV ($29k before tax credit, $22k after)

I do however agree the average American who lives in an apartment isn't getting the best deal with a full EV at the moment. I'd be pushing for PHEV vehicles like the Volt or Prius Prime to those who want to be able to charge but don't always have the opportunity.

He's been pretty consistent in those values for quite a long time before running for president. So I doubt that's why he holds those values specifically to become president.

Bernie Sanders is a millionaire who will absolutely raise his own tax rate for the good of the country.

Keep in mind the article is talking about individual fires rather than the all the fires going on simultaneously. So far 26M acres have burned in this season and in populated areas unlike most other bushfires.

When the defeat device was turned off during normal engine use its emissions went up by 40x the legal limit. VW's scandal was unprecedented in my opinion. The NOx emitted by those filthy cars are awful for anyone with respiratory issues.

They probably aren't. The reason distribution companies like Fedex and Amazon contract their ground delivery out is the margins are too slim and they don't want to deal with vehicle maintenance. So corners are cut by contractors to actually make money in the deal. If there was a reasonable amount of money to be made Amazon would be using regular employees.

I worked for Fedex ground for a while and I can't blame Amazon for this decision. Fedex contracts their ground delivery out and the quality of service is greatly affected by that. Some areas are great and some are awful. My experience was working under an awful contractor who was near abusive in his work requirements. If anyone has any questions I'm open to answer.

That is true, there are stronger privacy protections in the EU in general. I don't consider the actions here morally justifiable, just legally.

As far as it being the actual password, a false positive AND the fact he had been creeping on a coworker at the same time seems extraordinarily unlikely to me.

I get what you're saying here but:

>In the abstract sense, it is wrong to invade privacy.

You have no real expectation of privacy when using company owned equipment. This was almost certainly spelled out to the employee in question in the acceptable use policy he agreed to upon being hired. Companies have to operate this way so they can investigate computers if compelled to by court or law, and so they can recover important information off computers when the user exits the company.

If he was using a BYOD computer I'd have a different opinion on the matter.

My grandfather was in the double digits of heart attacks before he passed. He ended up dying of Liver cancer instead of a heart issue like we all expected.

If you do find it could you let me know about it? I'd love to see it.

Do you think we could do anything to change the industry for the better?

Absolutely. If you feel you are creating a product that has a negative impact on the people you are serving you should do something about it. Unions can greatly benefit society should they choose to.

I believe the only way to combat this as users is to use agnostic tools. When a website, program or other service wants to force you to use a specific thing to access them just view in a web browser with ad/script blocking or choose to not view it at all if that isn't an option.

As programmers we can refuse to implement such nagware. There's not much worker solidarity in our field so quitting is usually the only option if the company has made up their mind on the matter.

Overall I don't believe it can be stopped at this point. This process is called privatizing the commons and it will continue to happen to every common good as long as capitalism is the system which we work under.
