-40 is pretty rare for most of us, but -20c (-4 f) is not too uncommon in many parts of the mid-west. My ICE car handled the polar vortex just fine. Although any marginal parts are vastly more likely to fail, I imagine a lot of batteries w

It would if they maintained the same revenue and innovation velocity. The last one is really hard to judge though. Its quite common for a CEO to effectively cut R&D and be seen as a genious for reducing costs. The company dies a slow

The “we win by default” phrase is also in some scummier payday loan contracts and is apparently legal. But I don’t think it should be legal to waive your court rights like that.

It’s human nature, and it happens not just in business. People get up in arms whenever an open source project tries to monetize in some way other than “support”.

People are sorted into different classes in companies. You’ll never get a company to pay six figures for someone they consider a free intern - regardless of whether it’s in their economic interest.

Here’s one example: http://copleydc.net/copleydc_staff/Cantlupe/cantlupe_1-27-04... Aside, google has gotten worse than useless. In a first ever I had to scroll through a full page of cancer treatment ads. Zero or

Radiation detection is really good. You would never get the device into the country. There have been people pulled over in the DC area after undogoing chemotherapy. In one case it was a small dog.

The US emits more CO2 while Europe releases far more NOx and other more “traditional” pollutants. The diesel emissions scandal in the US had a European counterpart that was never dealt with. 2018 models are still polluting far above the off

It’s cool and all but an explanation of why it was faster would be helpful. What we’re they doing wrong before? Also the wheels are not connected to the pistons anymore so that rocket is going nowhere.

If a union goes on strike they have the decency to tell the company they are striking. That's the difference between ghosting and quitting in protest. If you had no employees because they all quit you still have to shutdown even if t

You may not realize it if you haven’t worked these jobs - but the person you hurt most when skipping your shift is not the company. It’s the poor soul promoted to frontline management getting an extra $1 an hour. At Walmart you’ll see them

Walking off in a rage is still not ghosting. Unless you do it silently when your boss doesn’t see. I’ve had shitty jobs including a stint at Walmart. You may leave without notice but the vast majority of people had the decency to tell their

The article is about leaving without resigning or doing anything. Even quitting with zero notice is better than what is being talked about here.

They’ve done this forever with their computers. Happy with the CPU but don’t want a horrible 5400rpm hard drive (Yes iMacs still ship with those)? Well you’re going to need to bump up to the higher CPU model.

This ruling doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in fair treatment for foreign companies in Europe. Its one thing if this was a default judgement because McDonald's was boycotting the proceedings, but they filed a good faith respo
