Not a compiler author, but have some experience with finding bugs in compilers. If I had to venture a guess, I'd pick the testsuite (and other tools like fuzzing and mass user base), since the complexity is quite high. In our experien

I see your point, but I think the framing is important: yes, you generally want to benefit from some of the things you do, and most of your work is generally not your marvelous work . I indeed believe the best work is done when you are

Well, I see that as a false dichotomy, and an important one at that. The most marvelous work the world has seen is a product of love, not a desire to maximize money or exposure. If you were doing number theory in 1500s, you were not thi

Last time I was trying to sell my Tesla, I used factory reset, entered credentials, the car rebooted, data still fully here. Tried again multiple times. Nothing happened. I don’t think that functionality is tested properly even for the basi

Can you name any other CEO who could pull the success Tesla had thus far? It comes in a package--you cannot pick and choose. If the board (or SEC) legitimately thought a better person could run the company, the outcome may have been diffe

It is a civil lawsuit and it sure is material as far as quantifying damages is concerned. But why speculate when we can just wait and see the outcome. Again, I agree that your post above might serve as an avenue to claim some damages that a

I am sure there will be some arguments along that line or similar, so we will see, but the situation would be entirely different had the stock been at say, $220 today.

"We" should, and "we" do, through SEC and other regulators or criminal investigation against the executives. That matter, however, is already settled, for better or worse. The suit at hand is on the basis of Tesla, Inc

Filing a lawsuit does not mean you will win. Yes, you can tactically become a shareholder and file suits as some people do all the time. You miss earning you get hit by a shareholder lawsuit every time. This is not a rare thing, but also d

Because it is a shareholder lawsuit, supposedly claiming some damages to the Tesla shareholder, who happens to be doing very well. The non-shareholder community is the one at loss and would want restitution for their "damages,"

For workplace collaboration, sharing is the highlight, not formatting (unless you're designing for paper-based publication). I have to say the few times I encountered the browser-based Word 356, it felt like total shit. Cannot imagine

People crash all the time texting and driving. I see people looking into their phones while the car is coasting all the time. Autopilot is at the very least a much much safer coasting mode. To say Tesla Autopilot, at least the current versi

That's just... your opinion. The wage gap between CEO and leaf in the tech industry is not better than Walmart.

That's an Apple Card thing I believe, not Apple Pay--and it rotates a different card number than the one in your physical Apple Card or device-specific card number. It's the one you're supposed to use on legacy online stores

I don't believe they separate it out--which is usually interpreted by assuming the worst.
