It's the article's title, for sure, but it feels misleading to call a reduction in incentives from a successful program (rooftop solar generating 11% of California's power is amazing) a strike against the goals of that progra

Time the jerkiness well, and how can anyone tell which you are? An opportunistic jerk who otherwise cultivates a 'nice' reputation is going to attract the same kind of gossip as anyone else in a position of authority, no?

Rather than another "Back to the office" screed, this appears to be an advertisement for "Dr" (PsyD, not MD) Paula Hall's various clinics for keeping hands out of pants.

This might be a naïve idea and you didn't ask for any advice, but have you considered doing free/reduced cost work for children or the impoverished? I'm sure you'd face a similar range of responses, but that last line -

Kinda hard to look down on someone for flying their own personal spaceship when Elon is one of the few to not have actually done that yet, but some interesting criticisms about their non-union factories. Is Gizmodo usually so pro-Ford?

There is a month and day, Feb 15, in the header, but no year. I can't figure out if that's ironic or apropos, since this story reads like a thriller from perhaps ten years ago, but the post date appears to have been 2020-02-15 - y
