keebEz··on Is It Here to Stay? Rock’n’roll Considered
Centered on rock maybe, but constantly nipped at by the dominant forms of music today. MTV was Rock's swan song.
keebEz··on Musk urges Tesla workers to cut costs ahead of fundraising round
Tesla has made large gains in their production compared to other manufacturers in the same class of cars[0]. However, from what I've heard the interior build quality on Teslas is that it is of the lowest quality in their price bracket. As such, while the numbers are promising they are at a bit of a discontinuity point in their market that might show these numbers to be more favorable than they actually are.

You make the supposition that the choice is obvious between the two but you don't acknowledge that the NY times unabashedly supports HRC. So, once you adjust your prior to that information? The choice becomes a lot less clear.

The CEO resigned... as close as you're going to come:

keebEz··on Stand With Greece
1) In general, for the european union to work, European national governments need to start dropping the 'us vs. them' mentality - all of the EU is a deadbeat if Greece is a deadbeat.

2) Corruption - Greece just isn't as 'well-run' as Germany - a lot of that money gets skimmed off the tops at the expense of the people. Yes, the 'people' elected the governments that took the money and skimmed the money, but if you think the U.S. government is slanted towards corporations than Greece's is backwards in comparison.

3) This matters for a lot more than just Greece - all of the EU is at stake, and yet blame seems to get layered onto Greece.

keebEz··on Larry Ellison Will Step Down as CEO of Oracle, Will Remain as CTO
It is correct according to most commonly used guidelines for headline capitalization. You were describing how to capitalize stuff in a paragraph, not a headline.

keebEz··on Larry Ellison Will Step Down as CEO of Oracle, Will Remain as CTO
Oracle has been run by the three of them for awhile now. This is most likely a reduction in the responsibilities for Larry (ie. not getting flak for skipping out on earnings calls/keynotes when he wants to watch his boat race) and thus mostly a change in title without significant change to operations (other than messaging to the Street what the succession plan is).
keebEz··on The Relationship Test
Yeah it seems like it is also a bit zero sum - the higher your 1st match is the lower the rest will be.

This probably happens because if your partner has a large number of connections to the other important people in your life, your partner (/person with most connections to all the various groups) then absorbs all of those people, leaving only people with no connection to those groups to take up the runner up spots.
