Elon Musk bought the company. He has nothing to do with the development. #CosplayEngineer

No. I will not have you do this.

Dr. Nikola Tesla did not sign bad contracts. He signed an excellent contract with Westinghouse to bring AC power to America. Westinghouse was the big competitor against Edison Electric, which ran DC power. Thomas Edison was a massive prick and Edison Electric went around doing its best to convince everyone that AC power was dangerous, most infamously by electrocuting an elephant to death and developing the first execution-style electric chair using AC power. All of this cemented in the mind of the public that AC power was dangerous and deadly, while DC power was somehow safer.

By 1890, Westinghouse was in trouble. George Westinghouse went to Tesla and laid out the truth: if he honored the royalty contracts that he’d agreed to pay Tesla, he would go bankrupt. So Tesla tore up the contracts. He walked away from millions, maybe billions of dollars because he believed that wireless electricity should be free to the world. Westinghouse went on to bring AC power to homes across America.

Tesla wasn’t a bad businessman. He was an idealist who hated capitalism.

If you’re struggling with the cost of living right now (reasonable), this is your PSA to…

1. Google universities/colleges near you.
2. If you can’t get out to more than one, look up which one has the highest tuition.
3. Look-up when the graduation date is
4. Drive neighborhoods near the university the week before graduation

So much stuff gets left out on the curb. Wealthy college students tend to prioritize convenience over money, so instead of carefully reselling their perfectly good stuff, they frequently give it away or put it out with the trash because that’s easier than moving, reselling, or donating. Take advantage of this.

I furnished pretty much my entire apartment from college giveaways and yardsales.

What I got for free:

• Mattress and box springs
• 2 10 ft area rugs
• The massive 9-drawer chest (that has a label on the back that it was custom-made and shipped across the country) that my TV sits on.
• Two 13 x 2 ft raised garden beds
• My desk - just sanded it down and refinished it.
• Three short stools
• An organizer rack
• Watering can
• Tommy Bahama outdoor cooler (retails for $350)
• Chairs
• Shelves

What I got for cheap:

• Two futons for $50
• Custom coffee table with storage for $25
• Three tall stools for $30

Seeing all the tags where people are warning that picking stuff up OFF the curb is illegal in their area has the same vibes as the oranges in Grapes of Wrath, and I hope all your city councilmen get eaten by the live furniture from Monty Python.

yardsards:

“falin isn’t fat in canon (so stop unduly giving this series credit for fat representation in her case)”: a very fair point! it *is* honestly a bit concerning that people are so conditioned by media to think stick-thin is the norm that they think medium-sized bodies are fat. and i’ve seen some very good points about how almost every character we see that has a heavier build is just like that because their race is naturally more stocky, and that almost no characters in this story are “overweight” by their race’s standards. so while this story is much better than a lot of others with its body diversity, there are still some things that it could do better.

“falin isn’t fat in canon (so stop drawing her fat)”: your ignorance astounds me and your foolishness knows no bounds. i could fill libraries with the things you don’t know on this subject. every time you bitch i give her another roll.

#oh my god#all of them???

Yes! All of them! It’s not a defect, it’s a design flaw! They made an accelerator pedal that can accidentally wedge itself down flat!

I know I’m reblogging this again but I have to add my own two sense on the matter. Most other auto manufacturers have had the stuck accelerator problem in the past due to floor mats and they have all learned a very important lesson: if BOTH accelerator and break are all the way down, apply the breaks and cut the throttle.

And even then they also have it so mashing the start/stop button or pressing and holding it kills the car

From that one report of the cyber truck crashing even when the brake was pressed, it seems like Tesla has not done their research and may not even have a contingency in the code for this. So it’s a hardware AND software problem

From what I understand, it’s not so much a design flaw as a production flaw; they made a change in manufacturing. They used a different chemical for something at some stage and that’s what caused the pedal cover to slip off.

This was a failure of process.

I assure you, every major manufacturer in the world is either in the process of examining their processes to make sure that this particular issue isn’t going to affect them, or has already done so. (I’m willing to bet that, in most cases, the investigation consisted of confirming that they don’t use the chemical in question, along with some kind of “…because we’re not idiots” notation in corporatese.)

What a lot of people don’t appreciate is that corporate bureaucracy exists for a reason. Bureaucracy is the corporate equivalent of legislation– every layer of it was born in red ink. As someone who has managed software deployments in production environment on systems used by millions of people each day, let me tell you, every step in that process is necessary. Oh, sure, it might seem like a lot of rigamarole for a minor change, but the problem is that people are notoriously bad at judging what a minor change is. I have personally been frustrated by a two-hour process (preceded by a week of paperwork, meetings, and approvals) to make a change in production that I knew full well would have no impact that, in actuality, took seven seconds and didn’t require the traffic routing, load testing, etc. And I was right, it went without a hitch. Then two days later I spent fourteen hours on a call where half the system was down and it turned out that someone made a very similar change, and didn’t say anything the entire time because he honestly didn’t see how what he did caused what happened. “It shouldn’t have affected anything!” If he’d followed process, there would have been no impact at all.

These tech bros think that they can revolutionize an industry by “streamlining the process” when they don’t understand that the existing processes are the streamline. Sure, if they’d taken a week to test the impact of the change in process, it would have cost them a week, but it’s gonna take more than a week to collect the information necessary to find out how much money this cost them. It’s not just the cost of the recall and repair, it’s the immediate impact this is going to have on sales, the long-term impact on consumer confidence in the brand, and, of course, a stock chart that looks like this:

That is a bad chart. And it’s not going to get better.

It may help highlight just how massive this failure is to know that we’re well past the first quarter of the year, and here’s how car sales are looking for some popular overlanding vehicles:

the simplicity of lactase supplements is so funny to me. it costs like $4 to circumvent evolutionary biology. want to eat dairy but your body doesn’t produce the enzyme necessary to digest lactose? the devs haven’t patched that yet but you can download a mod

Holy shit, they got Voyager 1 working again!

15 billion miles away and NASA was able to tweak code packages on one of the onboard computers and it worked and Voyager 1 is sending signals back to earth for the first time since November.

Incredible!
