Tesla: A Disruptive Force with a Debt Problem?

They have gone one step further, and explicitly ignored the request.


Yea, If you look at the Supports responses they don't even mention anything about a refund, but just tell him to cancel his subscription


What are the odds this suddenly actually gets attention when it hits the front page?

Do you really have to publicly shame a company into action?


In this field, where 90% of one's choices for a product or service are bordering on clones of one another, and the companies involved therefore have nothing to differentiate them beyond how well you perceive them - yes, pretty much.


Yes and this isn't limited to software companies. Twitter probably your best option to get actual support these days.


Pretty much. I wield my blue checkmark like a CS hammer on Twitter. Works well.

"Systematic reviews have generally concluded that standard working conditions present little hazard to maternal or child health. A woman with an uncomplicated pregnancy who is employed where there are no greater potential hazards than those encountered in routine daily life may continue to work without interruption until the onset of labor."

Where is she playing the victim, exactly?


The conversation that made her post the rant was obviously she asked the guy why there is less women entrepreneurs, the guy made clear he was uncomfortable with the questions and replied with a reply that is common sense ( ie: most women aren't entrepreneurs, thus there is less women wanting vc money) and she took offense at the reply.


I agree his comments were taken out of context.

I don't see where "the guy made clear he was uncomfortable" but I could guess he probably was. And again, it probably was taken out of context. However,

I don't see how his reply, in any shape or form is common sense. And it explicitly not the reason you give. "( ie: most women aren't entrepreneurs, thus there is less women wanting vc money)". He actually says, the reason is women are being mothers. That's why. But he's just old fashioned. And then guesses that most women prioritize that "[my wife] would rather be a mother and be with our kids" with respect to # of female ent.

And she took offense to that -- and so do I.


# I'm the wrong person to ask


>I just pack up my shit, leave the room and tell them politely that I don’t think that their investment “will be a good fit”.

And then goes home to write a blog-post about how everyone is against her. If this is not playing-the-victim then I don't know what is.


She certainly didn't write that "everyone is against her." And telling what she thinks in person to the VC is not a replacement for having a discussion about the general problem in the open.


I'm trying to give your comment the benefit of the doubt, but I can't help but read that as "well, beggers can't be choosers so just deal with it".

> I suppose that VCs can compare you to whomever and whatever they like

Generally true of all people, not just VC. Is it not, therefore, reasonable then to in turn judge said person for that behavior?

> when they have money that you are professionally begging for.

Which is cool because they are in the position of power?

Could you clarify? The author did not take the money. Politely declined and moved on.


What do you think I'm trying to say?

If you don't want to be in a position where someone can hold power over you and judge you, then don't put yourself in a position where someone can hold power over you and judge you.

It's that simple.


As a profession supplicant, I'd expect the people I beg to be at least professional as well.


She's saying "If you act like this, I'll walk away; if you want to remain open to all opportunities, maybe don't act like this."


Expect VCs to be unfiltered because they are in the position of power.


Rebrand until it sticks?


> He graduated from MIT in 2009 ... he may not have the slightest idea what else he could possibly do instead.

There's endless ways we could speculate about why he's doing what he's doing, but is being six years out of school one of them?

He spent "his entire professional career" (5 years!!!) in home cleaning. And before that it looks like he spent four years at MIT majoring in chemical engineering.
