In every large company, no matter how vile it is, you will always find a certain percentage of employees who are just like this. They’re real and genuine, I’m sure, and so happy to just be here. #blessed #AMZ4LYF

Given that Tesla is having the whistle blown on them right now, in conjunction with California’s investigation of their poor work conditions, and Musk’s growing record of attacking journalism, and over-promising while under-delivering on seemingly great ambitions, I’m more inclined to think Musk is just looking for…

Here’s my altogether-too-early theory:

I’m sure they did think of the opportunity cost, as defined by the hurdle rate the returns on the Theranos deal had to clear in order to be justified. $140 million in comparison to the marginal revenue they probably projected from the deal is, even if at that point they were mostly sure it was fraudulent, pretty…

Theranos’s alleged technology was clinical pathology testing. There are doctors who oversee this testing in practice: they’re called clinical pathologists.

250 million paid to Lockheed to develop what appears to be a single seat jet being spaghettified into a black hole and stretched into oblivion. Shouldn’t they be looking into s supersonic plane that can actually carry passengers? isn’t that the whole point? Or is this just another bottomless pit of wasted research…

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said last week the company didn’t fully grasp the extent of the issues “until quite recently.”

Mead also had a render of his get turned into a Hot Wheels, the Sentinel 400.

“In my mind, Tesla’s core competency is their technology. And that 17-inch touchscreen is the embodiment of Tesla’s technological prowess.“

Yeah, I clicked on the link, I think what people are calling lots of touchscreens in the rendering are actually wall cases for cut stones, so you could actually get closer to them than in a conventional box display.

You want to stand over that?

Fun fact: the picture the guy is editing in the lead photo is of legendary and enigmatic Mississippi blues man Robert Johnson (1911-1938, left), and a Memphis musician named Johnny Shines (1915-1992) who toured with him in the ‘30s.

These days, it’s one shot near the site of the bite and three more shots over the course of two weeks in the arm. Not nearly as bad.

The destination is actually right where you start. It’s a round-trip cruise (much like a ship) and the train is your hotel. Here’s their 4-day spring/autumn itinerary:

Bond villains around the world are like:

Michael Shannon acceptance speech. Sorority letter reading Michael Shannon intense. Would watch just for that.

I read that Trump complained about Spicer’s suits. TRUMP, of all people, had opinions about another man’s suits. They are supposed to be adult men, why can’t they dress as such? Obama always had such gorgeous suits, Trump looks like a toddler in his older brother’s suit and Spicer looks like he won his suit at a…

This reply comes deep from within the financial advice machine. Firms and their advisors alike have been foaming at the mouth since this rule was announced because it generally prohibits them from receiving commission or any variable comp unless the client signs a de facto waiver which then opens up the advisor and…

Yes, he did.

Fun fact: my friends who do analytics for political campaigns tell me a very large percentage of poll respondents who claim to be black Republicans are simply lying. They amuse themselves by looking up these people’s Facebooks and such and it’s very commonly a white person who’s just trolling the pollster.
