You can't really compare juice and milk. Fructose is definitely more harmful than lactose.

Some more choice quotes from a San Diego Tribune article from 2014: http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/watchdog/sdut-oceanside-puppy-dog-lease-2014nov28-htmlstory.html quote:After Anthony and Françoise Claessens picked out a purebred bichon frise puppy and got it home, they were more than a little surprised to look closely at the financing paperwork. Sooo what are the chances of a sub-prime puppy crisis within the next 5 years?

Happy Christmas! fake edit: Yes! quote:In 2025, advancements in medical technology have perfected bio-mechanical organs. A corporation known as The Union sells these expensive "artiforgs" on credit, and when customers are unable or unwilling to pay for their artiforgs The Union sends "repo men" to locate and forcibly repossess the organ- almost invariably resulting in the death of the owner.

This is pretty much the clip I'd post about why it's good, so I do think it's representative. Yes, it's corny and ridiculous! The perspective on opulence and wealth/capitalism polluting life with disdain for human dignity is very interesting.

Tesla: Disrupting the car recall industry http://www.vox.com/new-money/2017/4/20/15374592/tesla-recall-53000-cars quote:This morning Tesla announced a voluntary recall of 53,000 vehicles shipped in 2016. Tesla shipped a total of 76,000 vehicles in 2016, so this is a large fraction of the company’s sales for the year. But remember Tesla is worth more than Ford because Reasons.

Juicero is offering full refunds to all customers. I think they have an optimistic expectation of customer loyalty to single-purpose kitchen appliances.quote:He [the CEO] goes on to outline two scenarios where Juicero would be valuable. One involves someone drinking juice, the other involves someone getting a notification to remind them to drink juice before their juice packs expire and their internet-connected juicer refuses to press them.

WrenP-Complete posted:A large fraction. Vox and the whole Ezra Klein crew are not absolute cheering fanboys for the tech sector, but they are so deep in that world that they can have a hard time with perspective. That said, a parking break recall isn't that terrible (especially if it's an issue with getting the brake to release rather than getting it to apply). Pretty much every major auto manufacturer has has recalls of similar scope in their history. If we start to see more recalls then this could be a sign of trouble.

How many of those affected 70% of its fleet though? That itself seems like a pretty big deal, and the problem that Tesla specifically faces is that they are currently very low volume and are hoping to ramp that up with their Model 3 and beyond and these types of issues could potentially scale with their production. If it does then they'll be a complete joke compared to their competition. Of course with this low volume a single issue will also affect a larger base so it isn't exactly easy to translate it that way.
