We will be able to get a loose estimate on how accurate Tesla's forcasts are based on reports of early or late delivery.
Right now, they have a loose estimate of what percentage of people will convert to purchasing, they will use this estimate to determine your delivery window.
If conversions are low, cars will come early, if conversions are high, they will come late.
This allows them to put good spin on 2 different bad scenerios
1) Conversions are low spin "our manufacturing is satisfying back orders faster than anticipated, thank you team for the hard work"
2) Production lags spin "our conversion rate is so high, we have to delay some shipping estimates."
I don't actually use their DNS (the NXDOMAIN interception made it pretty unusable), but it was pretty obviously not a DNS issue, and yet dozens of people keep suggesting it was.
Like that wouldn't be the first thing noticed, or the headline, if it was the case.
They are are trying to minimize burn perhaps, and have PR wins to get more funding.
Nothing about Uber is about making money currently.
Their hopes are either: 1) drive traditional cabs out of business, then charge as much as they do, but not have the overhead of maintaining their own vehicles and the logistics that includes 2) replace drivers with automation, allowing for much lower cost of service during less peak times (they'll still need extra cars during the busy times)
or perhaps some combo of the 2.
Currently Uber makes no money.
There is a third option: The business model is completely flowed and they're just leaching investor money until they collapse.
The rumor is they're reporting "external network issues" if you make it through the call center.
It is not DNS (I don't know why people say that would be reported on, but not explained in even a garbage written in the future Newsweek article), I timeout, not host not found.
Most casting is actually loading a mini app onto the device which then streams the feed directly though. When it screen casts the performance is much worse.
It can definitely create a second traffic jam though, while not really relieving the first one much.
If a major highway has a jam, just a small percentage of drivers changing routes can lead to multiple low capacity roads having jams, without providing that much benefit to anyone involved.
True, I could use faxes instead of email, or snail mail.
Or pay extra interest and not shop around as much on a mortgage.
I'm unconvinced that faxes through a third party (that I'm sure go to the banks email system) or snail mail are more secure than my bank account's website, it's not like identity theft from mail has never happened.
I'm pretty content with my bank's security, it's the separate website that I don't even think is them that requires downloading an HTML file for secure messages that frustrates me.
No anti fishing, and enforces the behavior of downloading and opening attachments in emails.
What really frustrates me is that my bank uses "secure" messages.
It requires me to download an HTML file, open it, and then login to a not my bank website.
Except, my bank has a message system right in their main website (I assume the loans are actually written by a different company). So every customer that applies for a loan is being taught bad email behavior, and using a less secure system (my bank makes efforts to make sure I know it's them (click on the correct image of a few shown to login, if the correct one isn't shown, I know it's not my bank).
Basically, the "secure" messages are less secure, and run the risk of teaching bad security in general.
They hit areas that may not even cause a house seat to flip if it has a big swing.
Either they strategically don't want to alter the balance of US politics (picking safe red areas), or they are sending a warning, and the next round will matter to Trump.
Agreed, but with window snapping in Windows 7, it finally became not painful to use Windows as a desktop (that and it's quite awesome (and IMO best) taskbar).
The corner snapping too brings it even better.
If they added an always on top button and window shading, I'd be thrilled.
I'd personally distribute 50% of it evenly to each citizen over 18 to solve the regressive nature of one, and probably ramp it up slowly, but overall I'm very proud VAT.

Based on TFS, religion and military?
I don't know how economically participating the monks would be, but I suspect the military brings a sustainable economy to the town.

Uber isn't boosting any profits.
They are are trying to minimize burn perhaps, and have PR wins to get more funding.

Why would I do that when I'm not getting DNS errors?
Believe it or not, customers not being able to call in is going to have an effect on my life.
The rumor is they're reporting "external network issues" if you make it through the call center.
It is not DNS (I don't know why people say that would be reported on, but not explained in even a garbage written in the future Newsweek article), I timeout, not host not found.
It appears to not be just Comcast (this map is pretty similar to Comcast's http://downdetector.com/status...).
No incoming phone, people are claiming TV out, outgoing phone is fine, and internet is hit or miss.
This would prevent large companies with something to lose from doing it, but would do nothing for companies where it is their only gig.
Run the company, make money, and if something leaks, bankrupt the company and be done.
I guess it kills the collect data and get purchased out business model.
You could have simply purchased futures.
Or perhaps one starts pairing.
Gets a message "already paired" and assumes the pairing is done and oddly phrased.
I think it can.

I don't think that's the case at all.

I assume it has more to do with gumming up water treatment.
Plastic can be problematic closer to home than the ocean.
Clogged drains, clogged water treatment, these things cost money and/or spread disease.
They hit his safe base.
They hit areas that may not even cause a house seat to flip if it has a big swing.
Either they strategically don't want to alter the balance of US politics (picking safe red areas), or they are sending a warning, and the next round will matter to Trump.
If they were being strategic, they'd try to hit the rust belt, democratic strong holds that went for the protectionism hoping for some type of change.
Maybe that's round two though, or maybe they want Trump in power, as it helps them exery power in Asia.
My friend has this problem, it's all mammals except for maybe apes, monkeys, chimps.
I definitely want to see it, I just didn't manage to catch it.

Wouldn't a gun bring an insurmountable amount of the sound sensitive animals to an area?
Haven't actually seen it, but it seems a gun would be a terrible idea from the previews and what I understand to be the premise.
So like Uber in San Francisco?
Windows 10 has 4 position window snapping rather than 2.
The snap is adjustable too (I forget if it was in 7).
I consider those useful features.
I'm all for a healthy VAT.
I'd personally distribute 50% of it evenly to each citizen over 18 to solve the regressive nature of one, and probably ramp it up slowly, but overall I'm very proud VAT.
200 transactions is a pretty low threshold IMO.
100k is reasonable though.
