You must not have listened very closely. As noted below in the transcript, they confirmed the U5 form. Also she started in 2007 and it was noted she worked there for 5 years, i.e. fired around 2012 before shit hit the fan. Her story is actu

If it was really that easy then hobbyists would have found a way to do it on their own by now(e.g. 3D printing). You can't just demand that someone open their billion dollar fabs to amateur hobbyists. It is very likely if the fab is st

They're under investigation for basically lying about the tech behind their core business model. There are fundamental problems not fixed by simply firing Holmes. Pivoting or closing shop seemed inevitable.

Is it 100% true that all that would be needed was to fire Holmes?

So long as the developer makes a profit, that's all that matters? Who cares if it results in a transit nightmare, that's someone else's problem. Sounds like a great way to plan a city.

People buy shoddy shit and make poor purchasing choices all the time, e.g. fast food leading to obesity and an unhealthy populace. Just because someone will pay for it, doesn't mean it's a good idea, or that they've made a fu

Perhaps the same reasoning applies to the developer who can't afford to build suitable parking for the residents of their new building? Can't afford to build suitable parking? Then you really can't afford to build it at all.

What are you talking about? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Simpsons_cast_memb... In no way does it look like the cast is "mostly male", or that the women are cast into single roles. The Simpson&#x2

Codecs often aren't written by the OS vendor. Throughout the 2000s a lot of Windows users got their codecs via less than reputable codec multipacks from sites that may or may not be reputable. The VLC/MPC-HC/Web "just wo

If most of their income is from guaranteed loans, then they are likely considerably less aggressive right now than they could be. Debt collection can also lead to wage garnishments. Never underestimate the desire to extract as much blood fr

Would they do that or just become more aggressive at debt collection?

Roommates should be seen as a business transaction. I would not rely on then for social interaction. Some of the horror stories suggest they could be very detrimental to your mental health. Also a quick way to find out you don't like y

You have no clue what it's like. What you want them to do is NOT allowed. It is not on the script! They were not officially trained or authorized to give out such information. They would quickly be fired if they were found to be going

It's unlikely they're going to hire on anywhere near the same number they layoff. Laying off a large swath of employees, only to have to go through a major hiring cycle is extremely inefficient. Finding the right employees is time

Saying someone who masturbates is going to become a sex/porn addict is just as bad as preists saying it leads to blindness. Really your post sounds like someone confused by their own shame.

These kinds of exceptions/clauses/preferences are exactly why people need to think twice before sacrificing their life over stock options. The process is not transparent enough, and even doing some due diligence to try to ensure y

If it's a headache perhaps options aren't the best form of compensation? Options do have a stigma of being used as a way to pay people less right now, while later screwing those people out of the value of those options when it com

It's is rather silly for Phi to be positioned as "it's just like x86, oh wait except for needing to use special SIMD instructions to get max performance". Kind of like Atom being x86 for ultra mobile platforms, just not

Ha, some banks can't even put a single required legal signature on documents properly. See: Robo-signing.

No one should entrust their health solely to a doctor. It is like entrusting our life to technical support, which half the time is terrible.

How much revenue/profit does Yahoo generate? How much does WhatsApp? Facebook paid handsomely for a lot of hype and to gamble at poaching users. The Yahoo deal seems way more down to Earth, compared to an astronomical offer by a compan

It sounds like you found out costs exceeding cash flow is bad, not that taxes are bad. Anything taking 100% cash flow from the business is likely detrimental. The naivety of your second paragraph suggests you think business is not operating

Theses reports seem pretty anecdotal. Is there some hard evidence or an official spec? Seems like a bunch of people with glitchy phones or batteries blaming the weather.

Why would China need to give a hoot about US patents? It's not the United States of China. If only the US submitted to every Chinese demand.

Morning Edition and All Things Considered are hugely popular. Broadcast personalities on a national stage usefully get compensated pretty well.

You'd have to analyze it on a case-by-case basis. The hope would be that public programs have less of a profit incentive to gouge people. That said, public programs are often bloated. However, that bloat often comes from contracting ou

Yes, accurate for all cryptocurrencies. Pointing to one and suggesting it'll be used mainly by criminals is silly.

The issue here appears to be a human misunderstanding of best practices. An investment gone awry, maybe due to insider malfeasance or incompetence. Bitcoin has most certainly had its fair share of those too. This is Ethereum's Mt.Gox m

I think Bitcoin will mostly be useful for people who don't have access to a real banking system. Which is to say 'criminal enterprises'. Basically what is the point you're trying to make?
