Or even if the power supplies were purchased around the same time. I had a batch of servers that as soon as they arrived started chewing through hard drives. It took about 10 failed drives before I realized it was a problem with the power s

I don't think one signal alone is sufficient to make that determination. Lots of companies try to comfort employees during downturns. In my experience before you see mass layoffs you'll also see some of the following: hiring freez

There are other equally shady fronts for this activity. I made the mistake of giving my name and number a person running one of those "raffles" at an NHL arena. I was deluged with time share spam calls for weeks afterwards. I shou

Home prices have been rising far faster than inflation. The "people will always desire a home" and "plateau" talk is straight out of the Realtors playbook and is said before every pullback. People have forgotten what a r

They're in a pretty tough position if they're negotiating a merger/purchase. Don't those talks usually include an agreement not to disclose them? Something about not wanting it to be used to solicit competing offers? If

I'm trying to imagine this teaching method being used in other disciplines. Don't know how to drive? Watch me and memorize what I do. Don't know how to play chess? Watch me and memorize what I do. Don't know how to swim.

Not to defend Tesla's use of untrained personnel to perform service, but the examples you've given are great examples of what can be performed by untrained personnel. You've perfectly explained pretty much everything that c

I remember reading an article years ago that said that lemurs finding their way to Madagascar is believed to have happened several times. Mostly due to the tendency of lemurs to live in trees and for trees to be washed out to sea.

This sounds dangerous enough that I'd reconsider even driving the vehicle. I have a 2019 model 3 and I've experienced phantom braking twice. Both times I was on the highway with autopilot enabled and was passing a truck that cast

I'm curious where this belief comes from that large companies do not mistakes. It's almost as if you're implying that they're omniscient. Just look at Twitter for examples of how these large companies absolutely can and
