Your response is presumably somewhere between: (1) what you'd do if your boss asked you to murder someone (2) what you'd do if your boss asked you to make them a coffee.

(In all seriousness, you probably just go to their labor board website and fill out a form or something.)

I'd love to see some analysis of the comment section of articles like this. Would be interesting to quantify the #ProtectElon brigade a little bit.

"Repent, sinner!!!"

I think the answer is that it is not a pretty competitive market.

The two biggest carriers have a 1-2% monthly churn rate.

It's important to look at everything with a critical lens, especially the stuff you support. Tesla is deeply flawed, and in order for it to succeed, it needs to overcome those flaws.

Or maybe this dude is just surprised at how much gun violence happens in the US.

Such a bummer -- the rest of the post was so good. It's really easy to say "I've never had an accident" and "don't worry about not wearing a helmet".

not sure why you're being downvoted. I agree, that is a LOT of orangutans. Too many, IMO. (disclaimer: am not an expert)

Blaming the executive here makes sense. But saying the "company deserves to fail" ignores the livelihoods of everyone below that person in the hierarchy, who gets fired because mgmt has different incentives than the workers.

Not to discuss this ad nauseum, but the headline really should be "Secret US Army Base people give away their location"

How is that depressing?

It's totally a marathon! Sure, the conditions are lab perfect -- but these are also some of the best runners in the world.

Once they bleed out!

I've been doing this for years - it's my favorite.

Saw on Twitter that someone called them the "Wahhabi Lobby".

But actually, it seems ridiculous to me that this only warranted a $3m settlement. They've (almost certainly) been indirectly funding ISIS by robbing a country of its cultural artifacts. Not cool.

I'm guessing the farm.

You forgot to add "Write their own OS" to your really good suggestions here.

Cities and states have access to debt restructuring methods (per this article), which PR does not.

Humidity might be a factor though!

Enterprise buyers still use the internet

Perhaps a practical answer to these critical comments: he could fund lawyers to fill out FOIA requests for that information. Presumably anything on govt computers and govt email is fair game.

--Update-- He brings that up (kinda) here https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/62a3kj/cards_agai...

It isn't over till it's over. Many reps/senators would have voted in favor of SOPA/PIPA, but were dissuaded from doing so by the sheer volume of people calling about it. Public pressure is a real thing. Call your rep!

I'm not sure how much they paid, though you might be able to find out through crunchbase or something similar.

I think the value it brings to Google is several-fold. I'm probably missing a few, but here's what comes to mind.

1- Brand: Google seems very data scientist friendly. Data scientists will want to use Google technologies because Google is the 'data science' company.

2- Information on trends: Are data scientists suddenly spending a lot of time working in some language, or abandoning another? Are the Kaggle forums overflowing with a lot of Tensorflow related ML problems? Google could use this information to know what decisions to make (bonus: the people who'd curate and analyze the information are probably data scientists).

3- Promote/amplify: Google can hawk the crap out of Google related data science products to that market. And Google can probably provide GCP credits to registered Kaggle users, so that they can spin up their own little server, run their models, and get accustomed to using GCP in the process.

Those are just some thoughts. They likely have even better plans!

Are you curious about how much they paid, or what the value of it is to them?

I buy sentence #1, I could be convinced by sentence #2, but sentence #3 is a heck stretch.

This... is not the right take
