By Tim Higgins The Wall Street Journal Marc Vartabedian Christina Rogers Tues., Aug. 21, 2018 Tesla Inc.’s tumultuous year has fueled concern among some of its suppliers about the auto maker’s financial strength after production of the Model 3 car drained some of its cash, according to industry executives and documents. A recent survey sent privately by a well-regarded automotive supplier association to top executives found that 18 of 22 respondents believe that Tesla is now a financial risk to their companies, according to the document reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. Separately, several suppliers in interviews said Tesla has tried to stretch out payments or asked for significant cash back. And in some cases, public records show, small suppliers over the past several months have claimed they failed to get paid for services supplied to Tesla. Tesla has improved its on-time payments to production-related suppliers to about 95% from 90% last … [Read more...] about Some Tesla suppliers fret about getting paid

Paypal: Game livestreaming explodes, but female streamers are less likely to get paid
Esports and game videos are driving explosive growth in livestreams, according to study by game research firm SuperData Research and payment company PayPal. But the company also found a gender imbalance in pay. Female streamers are less likely to be paid for their content compared to male streamers. PayPal said that 34 percent of livestream viewers in the U.S. have spent more than $50 on livestream content in the past few months. But despite the growth in spending, almost half of women content creators (43 percent globally, 47 percent in the U.S.) don’t get paid for what they create. The U.S. had the largest gender pay gap of the countries surveyed: almost half as many men (24 percent) do not get paid for content they create. The gender imbalance was a surprise, and it’s something that should be addressed, said Adriana Bello, head of cross-border trade at PayPal, in an interview with GamesBeat. Globally, active paying gamers polled shop across 14 … [Read more...] about Paypal: Game livestreaming explodes, but female streamers are less likely to get paid
Women in tech share painful stories about getting paid less than the guy working next to them
Julie Bort, provided by Published 5:06 pm, Monday, April 9, 2018 Chasing Grace Tuesday is Equal Pay Day and it's traditional to wear red to work in solidarity. Tech companies, for all their hand-wringing about attracting more women to the industry, still don't pay women equally to men, new research finds. A documentary called Chasing Grace by a former Linux Foundation exec is sharing women's stories about discovering they were getting paid less. Recommended Video: Now Playing: Working for free. That is effectively what women in the UK have been doing so far this year because of the country's gender pay gap. Because they are paid less, only now does the average woman start earning compared to the average man, according to Britain's Trades Union Congress. On International Women's Day, it is a bitter pill to swallow. "It is a big let down for women in this country because it is 100 years since some women got the vote, not all women," TUC Policy and Campaigns … [Read more...] about Women in tech share painful stories about getting paid less than the guy working next to them
Comments for : Survey suggests that iPhone users tend to buy more apps that Android users

If one platform offers 2/3 of its offering for free and the other platform offers a little over 2/3 of its offering paid wouldn't the outcome be most likely what it is??? posted on 01 Mar 2010, 00:23 0 6. cellgeek82 (Posts: 518; Member since: 20 Dec 2009) Yeah the reason more people BUY from iPhone is because all the decent stuff cost money. Pretty much all the stuff on the Android market that is really great to download is FREE. iPhone will just suck money out of you. I've only purchased a couple of apps on my Droid but that's because I wanted the full version of those apps. The free versions are great but there was a game I kept playing and wanted to advance in more levels so I eventually purchased it. Most of the stuff on my iPod Touch had to be purchased.

That said, I don't see myself upgrading my tablet anytime soon as I would with my phone. Maybe most people are the same, hence the surveys result. posted on 21 Mar 2014, 23:09 2 14. ecmedic4 (Posts: 509; Member … [Read more...] about Comments for : Survey: Apple iPad owners not as quick to upgrade to the next-gen model as Apple iPhone users are
