Not a doctor but I’ve always felt he looks like he has something called barrel chest. It’s typically associated with emphysema but there are other causes as well. I wonder if he has always been shaped like this or if it’s something that started for him later in life.

If I didn’t have such a bad history of experiences with GM vehicles I would be seriously looking at this. Hope new buyers will give it a shot.

Good thing he doesn’t lead a low lying coastal state that would be heavily impacted by climate change and rising sea levels or this would be super awkward.

Probably going to be what happened to Toys R Us where the company currently has value but private equity will pull out cash and anything not bolted down and load up what remains with extreme amounts of debt before abandoning what remains. The skeleton of a company that remains will be viewed as unviable as it will have large amounts of debt and no cash once the vultures have stripped everything off.

Hoping the addition of these jets can help the front lines a bit.

assembly,

Oh no, you can certainly choose not to pay taxes but that only lasts about a year.

assembly,

Exactly! Right up until you walk out the door you are owning the system!

So they’ve cut new car design, super chargers, software, and services now. What’s next, is the Twitter staff going to be writing the over the air Tesla updates?

assembly,

Answer: No. now to our sponsors.

They would still vote for him and say it’s a conspiracy as he’s not really dead. He’s just chilling with Elvis in a CIA bunker or something.

I mean those kids grow up to be adults and they need somewhere to work that allows them to pursue their “passions”….

assembly,

I am constantly amazed at my spine when I am doing deadlifts or squats. I mean it’s kinda like a stack of bones lined up like a jenga tower and here I am putting a couple hundred pounds on it and it never falls over. It’s pretty wild.

assembly,

I liked the first Zoolander movie and I’m surprised I didn’t even realize they made a second one. I may have to watch it just because it exists and maybe now that I have a super low expectation it will not be so bad.

assembly,

I am surprised it won’t be more of a hardware improvement since the switch was released in 2017 so there has been a whole lot of new hardware to choose from since then. I would imagine there would be bigger improvements in GPU with the better Radeon offerings.

assembly,

My guess is that Oracle has audit logging support but it was not turned on by the implementation vendor. Typically a customer uses a partner for professional services to get it up and running for training and handoff. So it’s probably a mix of people that kicked it up. The one constant with Oracle deployments is that they are always over budget and rarely work and it’s somehow always a mix of faults. So from a high level view it is probably something to do with the way Oracle engages or who they partner with or both.

If it wasn’t for China, Russia would be in far worse condition. The Russians are getting supplied parts and materials from China due to sanctions. That’s the only reason Russia is still able to have a manufacturing base. Sure they have manufacturing facilities but the material, parts, and equipment has to come from somewhere and that is likely mostly China. In exchange, China gets cheap oil and gas. If China adheres to the sanctions, the impact on Russia would have been far more amplified.

assembly,

I imagine the benefit is that China will be on a level playing field if they have to influence an outside company vs just telling subordinates to accomplish an objective like creating dissent amongst a foreign population.

assembly,

Except that is what China already does. Cloud providers with regions in China have to utilize a local partner company which gives access to the whole tech stack. It’s a reason that AWS China regions were always so far behind in service offerings to the rest of the AWS regions.

assembly,

I think I missed that gene. I want to be one of those people that works on their yard and feels pride in it but I just get irritated that I have to work on the yard. Tried gardening to maybe kickoff my interest but got nothing. Maybe I should try to dig a pond or something.

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek surprised by how much laying off 1,500 employees negatively affected the streaming giant’s operations (fortune.com)

When Spotify announced its largest-ever round of layoffs in December, CEO Daniel Ek hailed a new age of efficiency at the streaming giant. But four months on, it seems he and his executives weren’t prepared for how tough filling in for 1,500 axed workers would be....

assembly,

I dropped Spotify during that whole Joe Rogan thing but I had been a long time subscriber. I moved to Apple Music which is super buggy and has what appears to be zero interest in playing music I actually like. From your comment, I’ll give Tidal a shot.

Tesla’s in its flop era (www.theverge.com)

When Tesla releases its first quarter earnings this afternoon, the company’s CEO Elon Musk will field the usual questions about new products, new factories, and progress toward its futuristic vision of self-driving cars and robot workers. But Musk will also face increasingly urgent questions about its current state of affairs...

assembly,

I would have thought the same thing but the after hours ticker has the stock up damn near $20 which is just insane to me.

assembly,

This is amazing! I’ve always had to be under a noncompete even though no one gives a shit about my work. So while no one would probably ever enforce it, I was always worried when switching jobs and now I don’t have to.

assembly,

I think the problem is that it’s such a house of cards. It has no reason to be worth the current stock price which is higher than multiple larger car brands combined. The stock value is based on this legacy idea that Musk will deliver amazing innovation. If he stays, his Twitter bullshit is going to negatively impact the brand and if he leaves, the stock will drop to a realistic valuation based on fundamentals. It’s a bit of a lose/lose.

assembly,

We have interurban trails here that connect suburbs to downtown and with the proliferation of e-bikes, there are so many people traveling that way now. I’m a little too far away to be connected to it but my hope is that the approach expands.

assembly,

“In January, Google CEO Sundar Pichai warned employees that more layoffs would be needed this year for the company to reach “ambitious goals.”” Kinda odd that they have these ambitious goals but need fewer people than they have to achieve them. Are these ambitious goals in the room with us right now?
