These people can't go outside until one of their cult-like corporations sells them a product that has that focus.

Dude sent an email overnight firing 10% of the workforce. The q1 has to be extremely bad

quote:

Over the years, we have grown rapidly with multiple factories scaling around the globe. With this rapid growth there has been duplication of roles and job functions in certain areas. As we prepare the company for our next phase of growth, it is extremely important to look at every aspect of the company for cost reductions and increasing productivity. 

As part of this effort, we have done a thorough review of the organization and made the difficult decision to reduce our headcount by more than 10% globally. There is nothing I hate more, but it must be done. This will enable us to be lean, innovative and hungry for the next growth phase cycle.

I would like to thank everyone who is departing Tesla for their hard work over the years. I’m deeply grateful for your many contributions to our mission and we wish you well in your future opportunities. It is very difficult to say goodbye.

For those remaining, I would like to thank you in advance for the difficult job that remains ahead. We are developing some of the most revolutionary technologies in auto, energy and artificial intelligence. As we prepare the company for the next phase of growth, your resolve will make a huge difference in getting us there.

Thanks,
Elon

F is better for weather temperatures if you're used to using it

If America chose to go to C you'd be all used to it within two years because it's not rocket science even if it enables it

Both farenheit and Celsius are perfectly fine.

Whether the freezing point of any compound or element lines up with a nice round number is completely arbitrary and doesn't really make one more or less useful. They both measure the same thing just in a different scale, both scales have a perfectly cromulent derivation.

When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.



As I understand it (as a person who never used it), florins and crowns were very rarely used. You had pounds, shillings and pence. 12 pence in a shilling, 20 shillings in a pound, i.e. 240 pence in one pound. Same subdivision as is done in time.
