the past 20 years of business has been just screaming "METRICS" so nobody is allowed to use common sense anymore, you must have NUMBERS to show why what you're doing is objectively the correct choice, that these METRICS show you're gonna make 20% growth YOY or it's not worth pursuing

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-x-must-face-131733759.html

Elon Musk’s X must face copyright infringement suit by music publishers, federal judge says

quote:

A federal judge has allowed parts of a $250 million copyright lawsuit to proceed against Elon Musk’s X, handing the social media company a blow as it faces allegations that it helped some people use artists’ music without permission.

The decision exposes X, formerly Twitter, to claims that it gave paying “verified” subscribers more leeway than non-paying users to illegally share copyrighted music. The lawsuit, filed last June by the National Music Publishers’ Association — whose members include Universal, Sony and Warner Music Group — also claims that X delayed responding to copyright infringement notices and didn’t take enough “reasonable steps” to combat repeat offenders.

well i know why tesla didn't think of mounting it differently: it costs far more to replace all that instead of just the already incredibly expensive window

i suspect most people, other than tesla owners, can figure that one out

also boat chat is getting incredibly tiresome but when i lived right off the hudson in jersey city those container ships would float by every morning without any tugs. the george washington bridge was off to the north and i'd see larger ships (including helicopter carriers, or whatever those baby aircraft carriers are classified as) getting pulled by tugs around it all the time, but i don't remember seeing any past around midtown (coincidentally where the tugs came from/docked). i don't think it's very common for them to be tugged, they'd need a whole fleet of them out and around all day

far bigger cruise ships used to pass by all the time without them too, but they weren't anywhere near any bridges

e: e.g. by bridge? tug,



around midtown? no tug,



(yeah i know those are different ships, same thing applies regardless)

so i actually watched this now and two things struck me:

- surely you don't need to go though all of that just to get to (what looks like) four screws at the most? looks to me like they could have just lifted up the corner edges (which is incredibly stupid too, but wouldn't require sawing the drat thing off entirely)

- there doesn't seem to be any damage to the rear window anyway, lol owned

Sagebrush

i was waiting to see that they had glued it to the window or something. but no, it looks like it's just on pillars that are right next to the window. a proper designer might have, say, made the screws go in the other way, from inside the trunk, and thread into the spoiler, so you can just pop the whole thing off that way.

big "i designed this for manufacturing, not for repair" energy. you can imagine the steps in the factory: install rear window. screw bottom half of spoiler into place. remove backing from adhesive and stick top half of spoiler on top. done.

tesla isn't the only car company to do that sort of idiocy by any means, though. i am reminded of the whole generation of chryslers where to remove the battery you had to take off the driver's side front wheel and extract the battery through the wheel well. it probably made total sense in production order! just put the battery in before the wheels go on, who cares. zero thought given to end user experience.

the problem is once you peel it up to access it needs replaced doesn't it

note that this was not a pilot or navigation accident. losing power multiple times is major and any ship who did so would likewise have been hosed. there is next to nothing that would have prevented this short of preventing whatever caused the engineering failure in the first place.

I mean if you had a really good reason for it, say building a very tightly packed sports car or something, I certainly have the wheels off more often then the battery. But for a chrysler, lmao, lol.

Seems like a tugboat escort as discussed above might actually have saved it though?

sure and who is going to absorb the astronomical cost of having two tugs with every ship going in and out of the harbor every day unnecessarily? it would be silly to send tugs out to help every single ship. at most you’d have some tugs manned 24x7 near the bridge to intercept a wayward vessel, but that’s probably overkill, too.

this was an incredibly rare type of event. it’s not something we should be spending a lot time worrying about from the standpoint of anything but the ship itself. that was the failure point. we need to know what happened to cause the ship to lose power and do things to prevent that from happening again.

theres no such thing as "the course you are on". any ship is constantly working against the push/pull of the water its on. if you lose even a little bit, the water decides where you go. inertia is a helluva thing, but the ocean has more of it than any ship.
