That's the magic of the free market. Even with no direct rival yet, Starlink innovates like crazy because the threat of competition is always there and consumers demand excellence. Unlike state-granted monopolies, those parasitic structures stagnate and plunder the people.

Noted, your principles are clearly priceless. The rest of us will just keep enjoying the world’s best mobile internet while you hold the line.

Boycott noted, meanwhile, I’ll be enjoying double the roaming data while you wait for that legendary ‘neutral’ competitor to beam down from the heavens.

Scott taught many how to think, which saved the United States.

So, the body positivity campaign was a psyop.

When you attempt vehicular manslaughter of an armed federal agent lawfully performing their duties, you find out.

Looks good, a fun project.

Cognitive dissonance creates pain, pain creates anger.

There is no ethics complication. That is an imaginary problem imagined by those who wish to force their politics on others. Open source should have no politics left or right.

we aren't playing that game anymore

Dope

We ain't playing that game anymore.

The real travesty is dropping the fun Island vibe.

2700K 90+ CRI bulbs + Dimmer

Agree.

The logic here implies an already dysfunctional government would fair better with more to govern.

Already did in last year.

Giga press.

Tesla already has three other factories being built: - Expansion to Giga Shanghai - Giga Berlin - Giga Texas

And expertise in EV production is already apparent: https://twitter.com/matty_mogul/status/1272948614822797313?s...

As for reliability, there isn't much data on OEM EV.

See my comment under @cultus.

"There is no planet where the valuation of Tesla makes any sense."

This is the typical mindset of investors who look backward--P/E ratio--while attempting to value a growth company.

Electric vehicle penetration will soar from 3% to 20% by 2025. Tesla volumes will soar alongside from 500K to 3.5M. That equates to 2025 EPS of $18 ~ $900 at 50x (2x P/E to growth ratio) and $600 present value.

"Their battery technology is all from Panasonic"

Panasonic manufactures 2170 and 18650 cells. Tesla provides the formula for the chemistry of those cells, and creates a proprietary pack from them. Tesla also has multiple breakthroughs with the introduction of its 4860 cell, now being produced at the Roadrunner facility on Kato Road.

"their self-driving technology is behind Waymo"

Waymo's release of "public-but you can't sign up" self-driving ride share service is a specialized solution restricted to a specific area. Deep NN require vast amounts of data that is well labeled, Tesla has an advantage here.

"Other car makers have access to most of the same technology and much more experience mass-producing vehicles."

OEMs will need to spend billions to retool their factories to produce EV. As EV penetration rises they are left with useless equipment, technology and engineers. Massive amounts of capital will be need to retool factories to produce EV specific platforms. Converting ICE platforms to EV has proved to produce inferior product. OEMs have little software expertise. OEMs may have had superior manufacturing skill, but with Tesla's cell-to-body, and metallurgy breakthroughs allowing giga-castings that replace hundreds of parts and processes this is no longer true.

Non-competes suck. You have a few options when leaving a company:

  * Get the blessing of the old employer to work at the new company.

  * Work around the restrictions (geographic area, industry, list of companies, ...)

  * Fight it.

  * Ignore it, ensure the new company will too, and hope for the best.

Anecdotally, I've heard of companies sending out cease and desist letters. The letters were ignored by the new employer/employee and it went no further.

Compare that to this: http://www.cnet.com/news/calif-supreme-court-finds-noncompet...

Oh look, they pair program.

Fuck that state.

Here's a much better quality video of the previous attempt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAzwuEmZcmE

Multiple vagrant vm or docker container setup for SOA development. Add an IDE and multiple browser tabs you will easily start paging.

Oh great, another article about someone who read a few studies, then basing their entire life on it. Enough of this crap already.

Caltrain operates diesel generators on electric cars between Silicon Valley and San Francisco.

BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) is electric. MUNI train cars are electric. Many of the buses are electric. Cable cars operate on a cable run by electric motor.

It is probably more accurate that allowing unwanted children to be aborted resulted in the drop of crime 20 years later than the removal of lead. This was mentioned in Freakonomics the movie as yukichan linked.

This link is pretty useless if it is behind a paywall that most of us have no access to.
