We bought a Juniper router on sale for $120,000 and did not use some of its functionality. A base model without this functionality was offered at $150,000 by the same salesperson. I can get the quotes and the invoice. Can Juniper force us to pay the difference and report to D&B?
> Intent need not be verbally communicated; any conduct that is recognized as a representation is sufficient.

Indeed. You're arguing that the mere act of buying is and of itself a representation, which is erroneous. The whole rest of your arguments fall apart because that one core detail is wrong.

> It absolutely holds up, in the same way that clicking an "I agree" button in an online transaction is a representation of agreement

Clicking "I agree" binds both parties to a contract, but we are talking elements of civil fraud not contract law. You were arguing that consumers were committing civil fraud by pressing a buy button due to some supposed representations you're insisting they're making. Let's stay on topic here.

It might actually be? That's a curious question. In reality I doubt any business would bring it up as their discrimination would get them in much bigger trouble with the law, but the law does allow for multiple parties to be incorrect.

Are there any lawyers here who know if there is case law showing someone getting prosecuted for fraud when the fraud in question was to avoid already illegal activity?
BMW sold nearly 600k each of the last few years, so even if "only" a quarter of their sales are EV, that's still almost as many cars as Tesla sells each year. And that's just one competitor out of a dozen, all of whom have significantly more marketing muscle and better supply chain and maintenance networks than Tesla.
They're already half-way there.
You don'thave the option. They force you to use real names, and sometimes force you to use your full name.

Interesting. Thank you aargh_aargh for the information.
I started learning Ruby/Rails early last year. After building a couple projects in Rails for some clients, I switched to learning Elixir/Phoenix instead. Rails has a lot of magic and implicit behavior you need to learn to use effectively. I still love Ruby; the ecosystem is very mature and stable and the language is just so damn expressive.

I switched largely because of the applications I wanted to build were very 'Reactive' and message/event driven. Elixir being an Erlang/Actor-Model derivative with the expressiveness of Ruby was a perfect fit.

Elixir's ecosystem and community hasn't had as much time to develop as Ruby, but it's still very capable and you're not going to run into scalability problems.

If your goal is to skill up and get a job asap, maybe Elixir isn't ready yet, but I'd pick it over anything else to build a greenfield application in.

No, this doesn't assume anything of the sort. By identifying yourself conclusively on one website, you add to the information these trackers have on you. By associating this information with other tracking they are doing to you, they still track you worse than if you were not subscribing.

Container tabs help protect from cross site tracking : whether or not you subscribe. So that is irrelevant here.
Yep, absolutely. It's a very productive environment to build in. If you want to get something infront of a user quickly and not get stuck in configurations, webpack scripts and so on, go with rails.

As someone who has had several CT scans (and paid for CT scans), the idea that a CT scan is better than a physician feeling your abdomen is absolutely ridiculous.

> Lots of things are a normal part of the human experience, but are not appropriate in a professional setting.

That's true, but I've given this a lot of thought, and I've come to the conclusion that it's simply impractical and inhumane to forbid romantic/sexual interest in a professional setting. Let's face it, most new people you meet in your adult life, you meet through your job, and many people start relationships and even marriages with their coworkers.

I think we should encourage emotional maturity and sensible behaviour instead. Although this too is difficult, because most people can't achieve the former, and the latter is extremely elusive especially in the current climate.
> Do you have a legal citation for this? I'm unaware of any law that supports this assertion.

One could argue the same about every post you've made on this topic thus far. You're arguing that simply the act of buying something is a representation, which can then result in misrespections ala fraud, but you've provided no legal citations and the one citation you have provided was about contractual agreements which aren't in scope here.

That is not true. Tesla still hasn't paid off its debt from the Model X, the Model S, the Gigafactory, or the Supercharger network. They might have managed to achieve positive cash flow with respect to Model 3 specific investments, but that doesn't mean they generating anywhere near the level of cash they need to pay off past debts.

I don't see it. I could see the Democrats impeaching five Supreme Court justices, or the Republicans impeaching four. All nine being impeached? I really have a hard time seeing that happening.

I guess it might happen if one party (let's just call them the Pinks) holds both houses of Congress. They would probably have to hold the Presidency, too. This party decides to run the country in total disregard to the other party, the established rules, and even the Constitution. Someone brings a lawsuit over something the Pinks have done. The Supreme Court hears it, and rules against the Pinks. Now, for this scenario to work, it would have to be a 9-0 ruling against the Pinks, even though some of the Supreme Court lean toward the other party (let's call them the Browns).

Possible? Yes, I suppose. But personally, I find it quite hard to imagine.

It's not the purchase that is the representation. It is the communication that you want to fly to a particular city by placing it in the destination field or by telling it to the ticket agent.

No, it isn’t. It’s a form of flirting.

No, it isn’t. The opposite is true. The more often something happens to you, the better you get at dealing with it, and before long you’re an expert at pulling the punch and twisting the scenario in your favor.
Sure. Halfway. The proof is so obvious, no need to mention it.
Its about the balance of power. Expressing interest in someone you have authority over is inappropriate, and definitely should be forbidden. We mustn't just revert to 'boys will be boys', that hasn't worked out well at all.

but the problem with Spotify is that they have not touched this arbitrary limit, there's no option to increase limits, and this has been this way since 2012, so it is by design.

And quite frankly, from a Software perspective, 10k entries in a database as a limit in 2018 feels small... especially when you consider how many people even listen to 10k entries in the first place. most have no clue about this arbitrary limit because they never hit it.

All I'm saying is that changing 10k to 100k is a significant difference in terms of music, and doesn't feel like it should be a significant difference in terms of data storage.

The huge amount of innovation has been in the likes of reducing cost, increasing safety etc. Now everyone can fly, only the rich could fly in the 50s and 60s.

And yet, the one innovation is written down in history books and the myriad of other innovations aren't.

> It is the communication that you want to fly to a particular city by placing it in the destination field or by telling it to the ticket agent.

By that logic even searching for tickets without purchasing them could be argued as "fraud." Since even putting something in the destination field is, according to your argument, a material representation of intent. None of this holds up.

Tesla doubled their production last quarter, and everything else needs to double, and they are having trouble. The reason 'other car companies' can do better is because Ford or Porsche are stabile companies, with a slow change in the number of vehicles over time. They are more organized than tesla for sure, and they know how to change manufacturing lines when a new model comes out, way better than the young pup tesla.

But ford doesn't double production every quarter like tesla is doing now; one model might change but overall production, sales, support staff doesn't change. Ford has some amount of slack available, but I doubt they could double production from one quarter to the next and just be okay. At least tesla has shown their delivery was not up to the job. The factory is handling it, but struggling.

Anyway, if I got a new car, tesla or now, I'd want it to be well made and for there to be enough salespeople and support and finance and repair staff to handle me - tesla is sucking wind trying to handle all the new customers. At the same time, they are also on full production of new supercharging stations all across the us and the world.
My god, that’s such a short amount of time.

For early stage development, Rails is still the best. No ORM tool out there is as powerful as ActiveRecord. Front ends are nowadays built more with React/Redux, which is well supported via Webpacker. And for basic admin pages, regular controller calls with validations and ERB/Haml/Slim templates works great. And GraphQL is fully supported via gems.

When you look for performance for microservices, Go or Scala are better. But that's when you are beyond the first 2 years and 25 developers and have the cash to invest

You can see why they expected this to work, there are a bunch of Eastern European banks which had audits from the Big Four brand accounting firms saying everything was A-OK right up until either the bank failed entirely or was nationalised to save it from collapse.

Not be able to secure an auditor to do this suggests somebody was too cheap. It's important to spread the loot around, for example instead of paying for an audit and expecting them to lie, try paying for the same audit AND buying ten times as much "specialist professional services" from the audit company. Don't ask exactly why these services are so expensive, and in particular don't expect to see all the people you're supposedly paying for busily working on anything. Just hand over the cash and voila, your audit is spotless. What a wonderful business.
