I guess I hit the nerve. Their initial target was far larger than their massive scaled down "last quarter" target, and I was in fact talking about the reason for stock price, which is carried by big promises.
You also appear to have missed what this story is about.
And finally, there are bigger and more successful competitors in electric vehicles. BYD for example. They just do the work, and don't over-promise or focus on expensive vehicles only, so they're not in the news every time something happens on their production lines. Because their stock price doesn't hinge on big promises.
Stock pricing I imagine. There's a lot of people with short term investments in the company.
This isn't a "janitorial issue" either. This is about Tesla consistently failing to hit production targets by orders of magnitude, with stock that is prices mostly on assumptions of future performance and hence promises. This shut down actually appears to be the consequence of previous Tesla story of them actually managing to increase production to something close to a quarter or so of what they actually promised to deliver. Which followed the reports that this was done in unsustainable way that would force stoppage of production line in near future due to wear and tear.
Relevance comes from the fact that if even hitting a quarter of production which is needed to just even begin meeting the promises makes the production random inoperable in weeks as appears to have happened here, what is the basis of the stock price of Tesla?
You have several factually incorrect assumptions/statements:
1. Li-ion cells refers to obviously rechargeable cells. Not one use and throw away batteries, where pricing is always going to be king, which is why alkaline is in everything and everyone else is barely a blip on the radar. 2. Modern NiMH have capacities that exceed 2500 mAh in shorter life batteries (usually about 2-3 years) and longer life batteries are usually around 2000mAh at full charge. This is comparable to modern alkalines in most usage, and in many cases better in high discharge rate scenarios as alkalines hit internal resistance wall as you note. But modern low self-discharge batteries are actually of higher capacity than old ones. Old ones typically rated (in AA world from 2000s) from 800 to 1800mAh (with 1800 ones being easily five-six times the cost of 800s and often being out of spec in size, not fitting into some flash enclosures and such). Modern low discharge ones are 1900-2500mAh and they overwhelmingly do not suffer from the size issues. 3. AA and AAA have multiple factors. Voltage and size being the most obvious ones. You'll find that some battery makers actually flaunt the size limitations to increase capacity, which makes their batteries unworkable in tight fit applications. Xbox 360 wireless battery enclosure, I'm looking at you. I literally had to pry one set of "high capacity" batteries out of it with pliers.
"Conditioning" is really only relevant for the older batteries. Same thing with your suggested "can't use them in applications that require longevity". Those were concerns with the early NiMH batteries.
Modern NiMH batteries are sold charged, because they hold charge for years and they do not have memory. You can safely put it into your fire alarm and expect it to last a year or two at least.
You'd have to raid a museum, or go dumpster diving in aliexpress to find a device behaving like this today. Doubly so because modern NiMH batteries have little in commong with early NiMH batteries. While the baseline chemistry is similar, the actual performance of the batteries is completely different.
Problem being that that's not how AA standard works. Alkaline battery goes from 1,5V at full charge to about 0,8 as it is close to being empty. As a result, AA devices are commonly configured to accept any voltage in that range.
Modern NiMH stays at very stable 1,2V throughout the charge, making them actually better than alkaline in most usage scenarios. The only problem is that they tend to trip "at below 1,2V, alkaline is probably at about 1/3 charge left, so change the battery please". I have this issue with xbox 360 wireless controller, where my second gen, 5 year old eneloops will trip that after about 10 hours of usage, and then keep powering the controller for about 40 more hours before they need to be swapped.
Typical alkalines trip it after about 20 hours, and shut down about 10 hours after that.
I don't think you quite understand the issue. This is not about some proprietary interface where lithium ion with its particularities can be fit in. This an existing AAA and AA standard, which requires very tight tolerances on size, coupled with low cost, coupled with requirements to work in both high throughput and long durability modes.
AA sized lithium batteries exist. They're 3,7V and they suffer from same self-discharge problem that old rechargeable Ni-Cd and NiMH had. They do not work in any of the standard AA hardware. They suffer from several other similar problems that current AA and AAA chemistries have to much lesser degree if at all. At the same time, around 2010s, NiMH chemistry was reworked to the point where it became better than alkaline batteries in terms of energy capacity, and they could hold charge for years, which is why they're sold pre-charged.
Lithium ion is simply not a good chemistry for AA and AAA world. You pick a proper tool for the job. The problem seems to be that many people didn't get the message on shift in NiMH world, and still think that if they want batteries that will work for more than a couple of weeks after being left alone in the tool, they have to get alkline. Nowadays, you should be using NiMH for this purpose.
No one wants Lithium-ion with its fire hazard, high cost and 3,7V voltage. NiMH is almost as good, has proper voltage for current applications and is pervasive.
The sheer amount of projection between the original OC and you is amazing. Common cause is it? If you were to stop with the "us vs them" insanity, you'd actually be able to comprehend what the last sentence of my opening statement said:
>On the bright side, at least we'll all be dead by that time of old age, so we won't have to live through that self-created nightmare.
What is a heritable trait however is culture, and overwhelming majority of people on the planet who are well above replenishment rate are those who's cultures view modern progressivism as pure evil to be purged from this world.
We're already seeing it in Middle Eastern, Pakistani/Afghani and African ghettos in European states that have them, and in utter rejection of the same values across Asian and African states that enjoy significant population growth.
Because free speech allows people to find that there are other around them with the same grievances, which tends to snowball rather quickly if any such grievances are widely shared and significant enough to get people to oppose the government.
That's up to the mods of the specific subreddit. Not reddit itself.
Remember that each subreddit belongs to the mods, and reddit wants to take no responsibility for moderation. The saga of the_donald made that quite clear.
Fun part being that the opposite is most likely true. Progressive women are not breeding in anything close to replenishment level, in fact doing the exact opposite. Openly declaring that they will not breed at all, because there are too many people. While those people who do breed well don't just abhor their values - they think their values need to be beaten out of them. With sticks and whips. As they do across the world today to people like them.
So future generations are likely to come from the latter kind of people, ending modern progressivism and causing future generations to view it as we view late day Rome. Degenerate and repulsive. On the bright side, at least we'll all be dead by that time of old age, so we won't have to live through that self-created nightmare.
How do you find interfaces on newer games in 1440p btw? I keep hearing horror stories from friends who decide to "upgrade" from 1080 to 1440 only to discover that interfaces become much harder to decipher.
If you're mainly struggling with memory side of things, 1060 with 6GB may be sufficient. That said, if your company is paying for it, you may as well get a 1080.
I don't think you quite understand why the people other than a handful of idealists are in on the blockchain craze.
What you're suggesting is that high flying goals that no one but a tiny minority cares about are more important than profit. Like I said, if you think that, that's how you end up with useless alt-coin and platform no one cares for.
They can try. And if miners ignore them, as they recently did with Monero, it'll be just the "community" with no computational power and with yet another alt-coin no one cares about.
Have you actually read the synopsis? It's a review by US folks, where they did some google searches. It states clearly that researchers failed in their attempt to generate any meaningful data for non-US sources:
Objectives
To systematically review recidivism rates internationally, report whether they are comparable and, on the basis of this, develop best reporting guidelines for recidivism. Methods
We searched MEDLINE, Google Web, and Google Scholar search engines for recidivism rates around the world, using both non-country-specific searches as well as targeted searches for the 20 countries with the largest total prison populations worldwide. Results
We identified recidivism data for 18 countries. Of the 20 countries with the largest prison populations, only 2 reported repeat offending rates. The most commonly reported outcome was 2-year reconviction rates in prisoners. Sample selection and definitions of recidivism varied widely, and few countries were comparable. Conclusions
Recidivism data are currently not valid for international comparisons. Justice Departments should consider using the reporting guidelines developed in this paper to report their data.
I'd be willing to bet that the windows revenue going down is a function of two things:
1. You no longer need a new machine every few years unless you're a gamer. 2. Win10's disturbing privacy issues which make gamers go for W7, which they often cannot legally get any more. So they have to pirate it.

That goes into liability in relation to clearly illegal behaviour. Not "hate speech" or other vacuous terms aimed at silencing people.
That's already done pretty much everywhere in civilized world with reasonable amount of wealth. It's called "smartphones".

Exact same reason why all other tooling manufacturers do the same..
