The core issue for me is that of the dozen or so shows and movies I would be interested in watching, on average 0.5 are available via netflix. So I spend a lot of time searching in futility for that show or movie I half remember wanting to

I'm surprised no one took you to task for ending the week on Saturday instead of Sunday.

Surely don't even mention any acquisition price in the all-company speech... just welcome the new people.

Maybe it's more like wandering onto the used car lot in the hopes that they'll surprise you with a deal you can't pass up. Maybe they will, but the process of getting there is not one you will enjoy.

Sounds like the CEO mixed up his shareholder speech and his all-company meeting speech.

Some interesting bits, but that article seemed to be mostly breathless oversimplifying.

Back in my day ( old man grumble ) the system would force you to change your password on next login. Simple, effective. This approach is just a dumb prank.

So, in other words, this is an elaborate prank?

Excellent article. In depth, with great sources. And all on one page!

Seriously... that is the buried lede here: VW's widely shorted stock goes from $200 to $1000 over 2 days after the financial crash was already under way. A terrible time to be part of the bear herd.

Is no one left to take up the cause of defending the term "hacker" from media smearing?

Can anyone ELI5 this to me? Even this Hacker News thread about crazy startup people seems crazy to me.

I'll see your recording and raise you the violin concertos by Julia Fischer and Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. http://www.amazon.com/Bach-Violin-Concertos-Johann-Sebastian... Check out the Allegro Assai of No. 1

Totally agree.

That could be interpreted as being rather spooky. But it could also be a joke based on word of mouth information. And was it a wise idea to pass on that investment? Seems not...

I tend to agree. But maybe part of the problem is that few people have an understanding of what commercial fusion reactors will look or behave like. And people have even less of an estimate of the risk or cost inherent in their operation. I
