Crazy Ted posted:No that is insane even by American standards. I'm pretty sure neither California nor New York are Right to Work states, which means you have to have probable cause to terminate an employee. Hell even in a Right to Work state that "Hardcore" email bullshit is so loving vague in its terms that it's probably unenforceable as a contract Pretty sure Musky broke all sorts of labor laws in the US as well, and he's going to get sued into the ground. This is why non-incest created company leadership consult lawyers for these things

Hell even in a Right to Work state that "Hardcore" email bullshit is so loving vague in its terms that it's probably unenforceable as a contract Yup, that email wouldn't fly even in Texas. According to the Texas workforce commission (the agency that administers unemployment benefits) this kind of action by an employer would put that employer on the hook for full unemployment payouts. An employer cannot drastically change the condition or scope of your job without it being considered an entirely new job, and an employee would be within their rights to walk as if they'd been terminated without cause. Also, employment lawsuits are rather expensive even if the employer wins. Not only does the employer have to pay for legal counsel and spend manpower to defend themselves; but lawsuits also makes their employment practices insurance way more expensive. Big daddy Musk has already killed Twitter as a business. It's only a matter of time before they're fire selling their assets to pay legal bills.

TheMostFrench posted:I'll never understand the appeal of vehicles that can have software failures for basic things like 'the headlights'. Any other car you could just keep a spare and change it yourself, but for this modern piece of genius, you need to wait for the company to release an update and potentially break something else, like its ability to recognise certain ethnicities of people at pedestrian crossings. This is a really terrible take. Like, are you a boomer?

Juggalos are always the most caring and nicest people I have ever had to deal with in all my years working with the general public. I have updated my red flag list of people to avoid: People who like Elon Musk, Libertarians, people who wear Confederate Flag clothing, maga hats, dudes in fedoras, anyone wearing a Rick and Morty t-shirt, patriotic clothing, thin blue line clothing....actually just nearly anyone.

BMW has started doing this in other countries (ie, not the USA). Not sure how much of that was because of the backlash in the press they faced. iirc they also tried doing that with carplay but weren't successful getting people to do it here.

In ten years some plucky young car company is going to sell a model that comes with all the bells and whistles and be subscription free and that company's founder will be hailed as a visionary.

Saw that people were raising a fuss about Alex Jones, and decided to take a gander.... https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1594552252865384450 While that's definitely tragic, it also just helps further show what we already know - that the whole "free speech absolutist" thing is utter bullshit and it's all about his own personal likes and convictions.

TulliusCicero posted:Holy poo poo that's gross The argument for it (which I think is bullshit, let me be clear) is that it simplifies the production lines by not making them make multiple models. So the only difference between the base model and the fancy model is a software update, and if you want the extra features you buy them a la carte. So, hypothetically, you're not paying for the features you're not using even though the hardware is installed. The idea being that the manufacturer saves enough on simplifying production that they come out ahead even if they're wasting money installing unnecessary hardware in some vehicles. Now, the cynic in me thinks this is probably bullshit and just cover for testing the waters on making the AC and radio in your econo-box a monthly sub.
