> Biden has vowed to vaccinate 70% of the world in the next year

Imagine the profits Pfizer is going to have. Hell of a quarter.


I'm sure that developing and certifying a drug administered to a large percentage of the population is entirely simple and risk free.


They are not liable for vaccine injuries, so I would call their risk minimal.


If making a vaccine against an historic pandemic doesn’t entitle you to get some profit, what does?


Getting the president of a country to push other countries to take the vaccine is next level go-to-market strategy.

> some profit.

Ha! We’re talking 10s of billions.

Personally, I’m waiting for the Monsanto vaccine before I take it.


Qualtrics gave engineers RSUs in 2015 when they were still private.


Same. Couldn’t view the link and won’t be installing an app I have no intention of using.


> rationalist and never believe conspiracy theories

That’s irrational to NEVER believe them. How do you know what is or isn’t a conspiracy theory? Whether it was fact checked by our overlords?


Apologies, I should have been clearer, if something is ambiguous and a government acts dodgy, I don't dismiss it. Buy things like no planes on 911, flat earth, chakras , reptile overlords, magic and so forth, I am default sceptical.


Maybe Tesla was actually innocent and they are counting on the Streisand effect. It’s a stretch.


perhaps RTFA, Tesla provided documentation that said the car had actually been involved in a collision.

SO they lied, incompetently tried to cover it up, handed over evidence that proved their opponents case, were found to be at fault, appealed the result, which was upheld. Now they want to sue this guy for, what seems to be, winning his case.

So yes, this is the streisand effect in effect.

The guidelines are specifically this:

> Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that."

In other words, you can point out that the comment contradicts the article (graciously). You're not beholden to still assume they read the article if it's blatantly obvious they did not, and are directly contradicting a key element of the article.


I can understand the comment: when the poster contradict the article in such a direct way, I'd also assume they haven't read the article.


That's not the point...


The point is that the rules are there to promote constructive discussion. Having blatantly false speculation go unchallenged is significantly worse for that than saying "RTFA" – and insisting on “apologise or delete” is completely derailing the conversation.


Their own documentation (provided in the initial sales fraud case) showed the damages.


The courts have already made a determination on this. Tesla themselves admitted in court that the car was accident damaged.


I’ve never seems a timeline-view calendar in the terminal like here: https://github.com/SitanHuang/ledg

What libraries were used to do that? I don’t see a package.json


Thx for linking to my project! I created it with dependency-free in mind so I don't actually use any library at all, hence the absence of package.json.

Lemme know if you ever need any help with ledg!


It's not complicated enough to need a library. Here's the code: https://github.com/SitanHuang/ledg/tree/develop/lib/cli/char...


That’s just a client though, right? They write JavaScript too for clients.

It’s probably production level services, not just projects.


The vilest? Not even. That was a mild 4chan thread.


Facebook/Instagram?


> even offered $100 to get the vaccine

Must be one hell of a pandemic if that is a greater incentive than immunity.
