  • I once made a big fuss about a very critical security vulnerability because they didn’t want to deal with it and there were very serious ramifications to the business depending on how it was dealt with. Like the company was exposed to multi million dollar lawsuits over it, maybe more, possibly worse than lawsuits

    It was the only time I’ve ever been classified as not a team player, and they used that incident as the reason in the report.

    Edit: they did eventually deal with it properly, but not before trying to hide it and lie about it to our customers first.



  • These articles are trash.

    There’s obviously a lot to hate about Musk, but Nasa says we want someone to build this, SpaceX bids for a contract and wins. This isn’t welfare queen stuff.

    SpaceX is saving the government 10s of billions of dollars compared to if anyone else was doing it as they can bid lower due to their reusable first stages.

    Also that DOE loan Tesla got, paid back in full early. Wanna talk about auto oem bailouts (not loans) that weren’t paid back?

    Also a lot of money that comes from building a factory isn’t actually cash in hand, it’s tax benefits. If you build this billion dollar factory we’ll charge you less property tax for 20 years if you employ 15,000 people in 5 years kinda thing. It’s less revenue but it’s not money out of hand.
