ashgoyal··on Tesla to build 25,000-euro car at German plant
Car manufacturing is hard and sometimes it takes multiple iteration to get to the initial goal. Tata Nano was a similiar failure. In there case though, the car literally failed in the market at all prices.

I think the real reason to bring it to Berlin is because the Mexico gigafactory is on pause at the moment. Irrespective of what one may think, Musk has achieved model 3 and model y production in face of criticism.
ashgoyal··on Elon Musk's X follower count bloated by millions of new, inactive accounts
Not really insightful. My account was also one with no tweets and no followers for 5 years though I did actively use twitter to read stuff and follow people i liked.

The article is trying hard to create a news where there is none as I guess majority of people are like this and only use it to read and follow intresting people.

ashgoyal··on My daughter's school took over my personal Microsoft account
This is a giant mess. Frankly, i don't understand how they architected it. If i open a word, excel or ppt document from another companies SharePoint because they added me as a guest, Microsoft promptly signs me out of the desktop office 365 apps and then says that i am using unlicensed office365.

How was this missed when designing the security and authentication systems?? This is basic foundational stuff!

ashgoyal··on Software horror show: SAP Concur
No software is perfect. Not even the one which flew Boeing 747, thats why they had 3 services coded by 3 different teams running on 3 different brand processors and the system takes the 2 matching entries as the truth.

Even micro processors are not immune to long running bugs.

Picking one small thing and demonising a whole team is unfair for them and the company.

Sounds like much ado about nothing.
