Tesla announced mid September that they've been chosen to build a 80 MWh storage facility. They cut the ribbon in late January - 4 months.
Now that was in California, not Australia, but we do have airplanes...

After Mars' magnetic field disappeared, it took 500 million years for it to lose its atmosphere. If we are terraforming Mars and working on a human timescale (hundreds or thousands of years) the amount of atmosphere lost due to solar wind will be negligible.
If that was the case, why didn't they have Hillary's emails? They went through public servers as well.
The NSA does not have the capacity to keep every single email for years and years. The MIGHT be able to search through them in real time, but no way they can store them all.
You will see an investigation - the investigation into the Russian collaboration with the Trump campain . You can bet that those emails will be requested.
It's pretty much the same thing.
1. The law in both cases does not forbid using personal email for official business. (It should) Hillary did break State Department regulations, but those are not laws.
2. Both Hillary and Pence probably violated record keeping laws because there is no apparent effort to preserve those emails
3. Both broke public transparency laws by not adding those emails to the public record. Both had to be forced (Hillary by the Senate, Pence by the courts) to provide them to the public.
In Hillary's case the emails inadvertently (as concluded by the FBI) contained some classified information. We don't know if Pence's emails contain any classified information but we do know that his email was hacked.
So it's pretty much a tie. Both tried to conduct official business and keep it off the record.
There should be a strict law against that. All official business should be conducted through official channels, all personal email and social media accounts should be examined periodically. All public records should be published periodically through out the time the person is in office, we shouldn't have to wait until the end of their term to see what they are doing. I would much prefer if all that information is made available in real time but it's probably not realistic for the government to be that transparent.
Interviewed with Amazon couple of years ago in NYC for a job in Seattle. A colleague of mine moved across the country 3 - 4 year ago to work for Yahoo.
So yeah, they'll still pay you to move.
My experience as well. I helped interview people at my last company and we had very difficult time getting qualified candidates. That's despite being 5 minutes away from a very large university with top notch engineering school. We were happy to get people to show up for the interview. That was in 2012 - 2013, not the best time employment wise.
Most of the American guys we interviewed were with padded resumes to the point where a "system architect" with 20 years of experience was not able to write a simple loop, did not know what pointers are, etc, etc. The guy that got hired at the end was having difficulties staying awake. He would doze of in his chair and snore. That happened multiple times a day, for months.
I agree with that but current administration is anti-immigration so don't expect any changes that will make it easier for people to come to America.
An alternative is to simply not restrict the worker to the company that sponsored him and extend the duration of the visa. Now if the company is not paying market rates, the H1-B holder can simply move to a better company.
60 minutes did a story on this. Ivey did not cheat. He didn't mark the cards and he didn't manipulate his bet after it was made.
He did request specific type of cards that he had trained himself to recognize by spotting inconsistencies in the card markings. The casino agreed and provided the cards. The cards were not manipulated in any way by Ivey.
What R&D? Auto injectors have been around for decades, adrenaline was isolated in 1901.
The average flu shot cost $40 to the consumer, and those vaccines have to be reformulated every year to match the predominate flu strain.
The epipen costs $10 to manufacture at the most. Even with variable cost and profit, it should not go over $40.
I doubt China enforces it's emission standards if it has any. That's an easy place to start. Subsidies (less taxes) for electrical vehicle would also help.
And of course the big wopper is that they need an EPA on their own to reign in the industrial pollution.
Americans invented the telephone, the telegraph, the electric bulb, the airplane, the computer, the Internet, put a man on the Moon...
If that's doesn't qualify as ingenious science and precise engineering, I don't know what does.
BMW, Lexus, and Audi each sell around 350,000 cars per year, so Tesla are selling 20 - 25% of that.
The difference is that those are well established companies that have a wide selection of vehicles in fairly large price range.
I expect that Tesla will start closing that gap once Model 3 hits the market.
There are plenty of people who don't mind spending that kind of money on a car. BMW, Lexus, Mercedes, Audi, Ferrari, nicely equipped pickup trucks - millions of vehicles sell every year in that price range.
There is plenty of money to be made in that market even without selling cheap cars.
As for charging stations - plenty of those around: https://www.plugshare.com/
They've been powering my lifestyle for decades and what do they have to show for it? Staggering poverty even in at the height of the coal industry.
Dependency on coal a sole industry has devastated many communities. You should demand an alternative from your politicians or you'll be left behind yet again.
Rare earth elements are used in some special application panels, but the vast majority of panels are silicon based and require no rare earth elements.
Also, rare earth elements aren't actually rare, what's rare is commercially viable ores deposits. If the demand for rare earth elements keeps increasing, I expect new technology will be developed to mine rare earths from sources that are currently not considered viable.
Finally, a word on the degradation - the current standard is 20% degradation within 25 years. Worst case you can still generate at 80% of the original efficiency after 25 years, but I expect that at that time you'll be able to buy panels that are significantly more efficient at a much lower costs thus making the replacement cost a non issue.

I don't know how big those batteries will be but they can probably overnight them via FedEx freight shipping.

R for Righteous right?
Humiliating? This is one of the most successful people in the world, he has nothing to be humiliated about. He is KILLING IT !
I'll take take that bet at even odds.

The problem with that is that all visas will go to companies in high cost of living areas. If you are a company in Scranton, PA you are doomed.

When you account for taxes and depreciation, the uber drivers are making a minimum wage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Hopefully one that doesn't support twitter...

The cost of the drug is $1 - $2, the cost of the injector $5 at the most. Depending on their overhead they might be making a profit even at $9.99
