Do Teslas even have an odometer? Does Teslaplan on resetting it to 0 and shipping these cars as "new"?
Yes, I'd prefer to get a car with a 1000 miles on it if that meant I got a significant discount (the 25%+ lost when a car drives off the lot). I can also imagine people buying a Tesla when they need a car for a month with 100% intention to return it.
The US has some pretty good lemon laws, depending on the state. Of course, like most consumer/labor protection laws, companies in the US tend to bank on people not knowing and enforcing their rights.
At 15 couplings per qbit, does that mean there's a giant interconnected network in the 5000 qbit computer, or that there are 333 parallel 15 qbit computers?
The article's numbers are weird. It talks about going from 6 qbits to 15 qbits, and then jumping to 2000 qbits and an expected 5000 qbits. Did I miss a major advance? I thought each qbit grew the difficulty of creation by an order of magnitude, and 15-20 was considered the upper limit for "cost is no object" with current tech.
I mean, technically the Courts have their own armed officers and could throw the President in jail for contempt, and technically the Justice Department can appoint an independent prosecutor to look into the President and indict him (I mean, he'd still be the President, but in jail), and technically other areas of the Executive Branch could just comply with the court order and not him (oaths are to the Constitution) which might cause a fun Civil War.
Why is "ethnicity" a mandatory field? Actually, given anti-discrimination laws, why is it not a "do not say anything about ethnicity, religion or sex on this or any other form" popup?
Got it. You don't understand statistics or polling. Because it's not a random sample, and it's treated as a percentage, it's meaningless. An absolute number of people who do want to see it would work, but the number of people who don't is meaningless.
WTF did someone say that has you so butthurt?
And, again, it's not a feedback mechanism, at least not a meaningful one. Like, I would be hard pressed to make any statement about this movie or their ads other than "the people who don't plan to see this movie actively dislike it as opposed to not caring." And I don't know how that information helps anyone in anyway.
"Intend to see" is a stupid and useless metric. Unless non-responses were counted as "no"s, the self-selection in the voting makes any percentage meaningless. I mean, when's the last time you went out of your way to tell people on the internet you weren't doing something? The only time is if you are virtue-signaling - I'm not owing a TV/eating meat/watching movie that offends my group.
I haven't seen anything from Brie Larson about the movie, or at all in the lead-up to it. Made me wonder if they were planning on advertising Captain Marvel at all.
He has also abided by every court decision that applied - even though he doesn't have to - the executive is *co-equal* to the judicial branch.
Holy fucking wrongness. Co-equal doesn't mean "can ignore each other". It means "has power over each other" You know, checks and balances. Ignoring a court ruling isn't a thing. If he doesn't like it, he has things he can do, but none of them are ignore the court.
It's not accidental. The court said "you have to have a lawyer review your tweets (or whatever system Tesla cam up with.) " He didn't. Intention no longer matters. It did before with the earlier SEC investigation, but this extra rule is a limit he agreed to as part of a settlement.
Can you be held in contempt of court for accidentally violating a court order?
Yes. All that needs to happen is someone (usually the SEC) show that he violated a court order, in this case the settlement with the SEC.
FFS, mot engineers working on projects I know aren't allowed to tweet about their work. It's not unreasonable from the companies point of view. He should just stop tweeting about Tesla/at all.
Well, he could have avoided this by submitting his tweet to the review process. He didn't. If he ran a red light, he could get a ticket even if the road was empty.
None of your statements seem equivalent to me. (380k +/- 20k) vs. Model 3 made (425k +/- 75k) vs. Total Made (500k +/- 0) Then you added in the S/X numbers without citing them.
It would be reasonable to read this tweet as clarification they expect to hit the high point of an expansive range.
I mean, minivans are notorious for being under-engined. But I don't understand people whose transportation costs are lowered by getting a Tesla. My transport costs are lower than just the purchase price of a Tesla (amortized over expected lifetime, etc).
But a regular gas car (not minivan) tends to work pretty well. And, givien that the constraint for my dirivng isn't the car, but the cars around me, it's hard to imagine wanting to upgrade the vehicle for speed. Hell, it would just make me more frustrated to be in a Tesla stuck in traffic.
The NHS is clearly claiming it's a financial issue, so I'd imagine the budget differences are pretty high. Although, I must say, with your "whatever it needs to be," I'm envisioning a helicopter going to pick up an engineer who is rock climbing on vacation. Like Tom Cruise in one of his movies.
You don't care about the data you use with those services. For instance, you left out LinkedIn. That's because LinkedIn is primarily used to post your resume, build a professional network, and write blog posts about how important you are. All that data is explicitly opted into.
Amazon probably has WiFI hotspots and cell minirepeaters throughout their buildings, and fewer (unintentional) Faraday cages in their new er buildings. Also, less equipment giving off all other kinds of EM radiation. I mean, I don't doubt you could build a better system when you have the cash, but I'm sure Amazon spends more than $5.5/employee*/month on comms infrastructure.
*I'm ignoring the warehouse workers, etc. and focusing on the "pager level" group.
I'm not aware of any real backlash around Black Panther. Probably because, absent the ensemble movies (Avengers: X), it made by far the most money. It made $125MM more than Iron Man 3 (which rounded out his personal arc) and $250MM more than Civil War (which I counted as a non-ensemble movie because of its title, even though it was). No other Marvel movie came within half a billion dollars.
I mean, the most backlash I recall is that some people (who still went to see it) said it wasn't as good as they thought it would be.
The difference between Black Panther and Captain Marvel is pretty big from a marketing point of view. It was hard to avoid the BP marketing before it dropped, and the Captain Marvel ads have been really non-existent by comparison. Heck, even by comparison to non-Marvel movies. Also, they did the beeper thing as opposed to having her show up at all in the Avengers movie (whereas BP got introduced before his movie).
Even the posters are trying to avoid being interesting. It's like they're going with the "We're Marvel, there's a movie coming out, see it if you want to but we're not going toreally tell you what it's about" strategy. Which may work for them. Like Guardians, there's no real thing to hang your hat on if you don't know comics, and Guardians did pretty well. Although they had Groot and RR in previews, and Chris Pratt on talk shows; this time they seem to be banking on With a huge hint of "if you don't see it, you'll be confused when we come back from the cliffhanger from our biggest movie ever with the sequel in 3 months".
Because all 12 year old boys have $10,000 to do whatever they want with.
Why shouldn't they? We live in a prosperous country, and spend more than that on educating a child for a year. Kids wanting to learn something like this should be able to apply for a government grant for "interesting project done by a kid." Not many kids would take them up on it, and we could even insist on having completed easier and cheaper projects before that. There are under 5 million 12-year-olds in the US. Assuming only 2% want to do something as ambitious as build a fusion reactor, that's under a billion a year.

You're assuming that the same car isn't returned more than once.

Not if you're using floats. Even if you managed not to mess up the exponent, you're causing a lack of precision.

Huh? Are you saying LinkedIn is stupid because it's social so you don't use it? Or do are you saying that LinkedIn doesn't just opt in data? Or what?
Are are you confused and think that FB owns LinkedIn. They Don't. Microsoft does.
You don't care about the data you use with those services. For instance, you left out LinkedIn. That's because LinkedIn is primarily used to post your resume, build a professional network, and write blog posts about how important you are. All that data is explicitly opted into.

Those systems don't work when you need to call a specialist back in right now. Even a cellphone is significantly less reliable.
And, I'll bet those number displays actually cost more than 8.6 million a year.

Nope, people print business cards by the hundreds. It would be "Adds 'Clippy' to Her Business Cards"
Pintrest aims for the mom demo, Insta for the kids. I doubt this is going to really hurt Pintrest.
