Are you factoring in the energy losses from extracting, refining and transporting the ICE fuel?
Or the costs involved in digging the coal out of the ground.
Personally, I think this whole argument misses the point. Manufacturing cars of any sort costs a lot of energy and resources. Having everybody owning cars costs a lot in various ways. Hundreds of people die every day thanks to our obsession with personal transport. We sit for hundreds of hours in traffic jams because everybody else won't get out of our way. All this leads to stress, frustration and in some cases violence. None of these downsides change very much if the cars are electric. We should be concentrating on finding ways to reduce the need for people to own and use cars at all.
You realise you don't borrow money from the rest of the Worlds to pay for imports, don't you?
The trade deficit thing is a red herring. If the economy is doing well, people will buy more stuff and some of that comes from abroad.
Also, although money flows out of the country, goods flow in. For example, Trump seems very concerned about paying for Chinese steel. Well, yes, you've sent a load of cash to China, but they have sent you a load of steel and if they are dumping it at below cost, you've actually got a pretty good deal and it will benefit all of the industries in the USA that use steel. Everybody benefits except the US steel industry, which is actually a pretty small part of the economy compared to all the parts that will benefit.
It was never going to work even if Microsoft hadn't "sabotaged" it. Content providers would look at DNT and say "right, so it's going to cost me money to implement this, and when I've done it, I'll get a reduction in revenue". There's no chance that's going to fly.
1. Most people don't apply it properly - you have to spray it on and then rub it in which negates the point somewhat.
2. A lot of it gets wasted.
3. While sun screen chemicals are known to be safe when applied to the skin, the situation is less certain about what happens if they are inhaled, which is more or less impossible to avoid when using spray on sun screen.
On the other hand, it is better than using no sun screen at all.
Good luck with coming face to face with the Christian god: he's a complete nutter. The Christian story is completely incoherent. First off, he creates humans as slaves to work in his garden and then despite being the humans' creator and omniscient, he gets all outraged when they do something he must have known they would do in advance. He condemns them to no longer being slaves in his garden but also to death and he condemns all their descendants as well for good measure.
After a while he has second thoughts about condemning everybody to death but it seems the only way that he can do that is to arrange for his son (who is also himself) to be murdered. Who made that rule up?
Of course he then cheats on the deal by only staying dead for the weekend.
it had to share the memory bus with the video chip, so it couldn't make use of every cycle
Actually, most of the time it could. The 6502 split the 1MHz clock into two phases: in the first half of the cycle it did internal stuff and it did memory accesses in the second half of the cycle. In fact, it always did a memory access in the second half of every cycle even if it didn't need to.
In normal operation the VIC chip accessed the memory in the first half of the clock cycle. So both the video circuitry and the CPU could access the RAM with no slow down. The only exception to this was when displaying a sprite. The video chip literally stopped the CPU chip for a few cycles while doing this so it could have exclusive access to the bus.
But if you have a long position there is a strong incentive to hype the stock which means that people will buy it when it's overpriced and probably lose money when it returns to more realistic levels. If you drive up the price by lying, I think that should count as fraud. Such lies might include, for instance, telling the World that you have somebody who will buy all the extant shares for $420 when they are currently trading at $360.
Also, if you have a long position, unless you are in it as a long term investment, you have a strong incentive to pressure the management into taking short term profits at the expense of investment for the future. And people with a long position have the ability to fire the directors. It's these people who can get Elon Musk fired, not the short sellers.
No. Amazon's losses were always planned for expansion and you never felt they were getting out of control. Tesla were ostensibly doing the same thing, but I think they have let things get away from them.
Furthermore, there is a certain amount of survivorship bias. For every Amazon there are twenty start ups that tried to do the same thing and failed.
The expenses that matter are the overall ones. Tesla may well be making money on every car in terms of selling price minus cost of materials but, if that's not enough to cover their overheads and servicing their debts, they are in trouble. Anyway, Q3 results are due soon, so we'll find out then if they are going to be OK or in the shit.
A US gallon of petrol contains 33 kilowatt hours of energy which makes it about 50% more expensive than your night rate. However, you have the convenience that you get the same price if you need to "recharge" during the day and it only takes a few minutes.
Linus Torvalds won't be in the USA in October, he'll be in Scotland. Moving from one place where Linus isn't to another place where Linus isn't doesn't solve the problem.
They mean Macs would have a headphone port, iPhones would need a lightning adaptor and iPads would need a USB-C adaptor. Of course, since all Macbooks also come with USB-C you're still down to two pairs of headphones. But Apple Haters gotta hate.
Pascal, like most languages has proper string handling, so you'd write: dest:= src
The putting the constant first thing is pretty lame. What if both sides of the comparison are lvalues? In any case, modern C compilers detect the problem and report a warning so you no longer need to care.

Except nuclear power stations are usually built from vast quantities of concrete, the production of which creates enormous amounts of carbon dioxide.
Actually, I suppose a lot of hydro dams also use vast quantities of concrete. As you were.

Spelling mistake, it's not entrapeneur" it's "orange penis"

I can testify it works pretty well. I have never been shat on by a passenger pigeon after using spray on sun screen.

It's obvious bullshit.
You could run far away, open source your system or buy a commercial licence. I think they are hoping you do the latter.

Last time I tried to decompile it, it turned out the code was obfuscated. You can decompile it, but that's the easy part.

Well, if the profit or loss does not depend on how well the CEO is running the company, what's the point of having one?
Maserati and Lamborghini definitely are boutique.
But that's not the point. Tesla is not an automative major just because you have found another manufacturer that sells fewer cars in your territory.
It's the same reason that a car gets a front page news story when it catches fire, or crashes only when it's a Tesla.
A US gallon of petrol contains 33 kilowatt hours of energy which makes it about 50% more expensive than your night rate. However, you have the convenience that you get the same price if you need to "recharge" during the day and it only takes a few minutes.
I think, anybody that owned an Aston Martin would know how to spell it.
At $49k for the cheapest Tesla you can reasonably expect to have delivered to you, the Model 3 is a luxury car.
Linus Torvalds won't be in the USA in October, he'll be in Scotland. Moving from one place where Linus isn't to another place where Linus isn't doesn't solve the problem.
That went really well.
Oh, wait, it was a complete disaster.
