Tesla's problem now is the $360 strike price for the convertible bond payment in February. While it looked like they'd be on track to be above $360 before the tweet, it is not looking as good right now. It would be painful for them to have to part with that $920m in cash.
There are women's pants with pockets. If they are flying off the shelves then I'd expect more to be sold. Unless of course there is some evil pocket lord that every manufacturer is beholden to. To be fair, most often pockets in my mens pants are inadequate for phones as well.
Of course, if women do start getting more pockets, men will need to compensate with even more & bigger ones. Cargo pants for all!
The list is short, computers, tablets, phones, just about anything that can run windows, Android, Linux, IOS or OS X, with KODI installed. Windows Phones are OK to sell.
Unfortunately, The study is done by college researchers that failed to get any input from a person who actually is involved in grid operation and detection. Hence the complete lack of description of exactly how the grid would fail. They just 'assume'. So basically just making noise.
Evidently it was done using a 2008 Polish grid model. Now, I doubt they have a copy of such a model that includes protection schemes, more likely a grid layout and they just make assumptions. So yes, this is a complete waste of our time. Thanks/.
what proof do you have that he did not secure funding? The fact that you are posting as an AC indicates that you have the veracity of Chanos or many others here.
What proof do you have he did? As of now, of course none of us know. There are serious doubts because evidently his board wasn't even aware and nobody seems to have a clue who the investors are, and Musk isn't saying who they are. This is a huge amount of funding for nobody to know about so there are legitimate questions. Proof isn't required of course to file a lawsuit, but it will be required one way or the other to resolve it.
The SEC will review and we'll find out. It may all turn out to be noise, but the fact that all this came down at all could have been avoided had Musk been a little smarter about what he tweeted and when. It was a blunder.
Short sellers pissed off that the share price went up? let me see if I an find something small enough to hold the sympathy I feel for them.
Some of the longs might get pissed as well. By tweeting such a thing, future investors may not be willing to pay as much knowing Musk may limit their upside with a buyout. Tweeting something that causes an SEC investigation isn't good for the company as whole.
The main stream media does a good enough job creating panic as it is.
More so I might add than any one man with a twitter account.
No kidding. They just claim vulnerabilities exist, then say there haven't been any successful hacks yet, and the only example they provide was a human error event, not a hack at all.
When lakes are filled for hyrdopower, vast animal and plant habitats are destroyed, even native water life is impacted. Not only are animal habitats destroyed, but many animals themselves die. Even human habitats have been destroyed, displacing entire towns.
Fortunately, cases where there is a significant impact from nuclear plants are rare and affect a small area for a short duration. Its quite easy to manage as well. Its not a serious problem.
[...] a heart attack patient dies in the ER about 11.9 percent of the time overall -- but the research team found women with heart attacks will die about 12.4 percent of the time if their cases are handled by male doctors.
That's more like a 4% rise, not a 12% rise. Overstating threefold much?
A common mistake on/., conflating increase in risk with increase in occurrence probability.
rahvin112 made a claim. You denied it, but didn't provide any evidence. I did a quick google and found http://iopscience.iop.org/arti... which suggests a 10C rise, which is in the region of 20f.
You then tried some whataboutism in the hope that no-one would bother to validate your claim and start thinking about hydro power instead, even though rahvin112 was suggesting solar+storage as the alternative.
That link does not show that the heating 'displaced the entire habitat', which was the claim. He made the claim, if he can back it up he should respond with the source. I say its total bullshit.
They parts were not adequately documented. "faked" is a term then anti-nuke press likes to use. The plant did the right thing and is resolving the issue in a very conservative manner.

Reading books is much more important than owning them. EBooks eliminates waste.
Owning DVDs doesn't strike me as an important thing in life.
Still, despite these two things, I own a crapload of stuff.

The candidate who didn't show up before?
No, the weird looking one.
Shorts did not lose or gain unless they closed out their position. So they didn't 'make' over a billion as the ignorant headline states.

from the ./ summary:
"welfare fraud is statistically speaking, extremely rare. In 2012, the DHA found only 500 cases of fraud among Sacramento's 193,000 recipients."
To be precise, detecting welfare fraud is extremely rare.
'detecting and proving'
Seems like they could use an analog cash counter on each teller machine that shuts it down if more than allowed is withdrawn on a single transaction.
One problem with it: What are KODI devices?
The list is short, computers, tablets, phones, just about anything that can run windows, Android, Linux, IOS or OS X, with KODI installed. Windows Phones are OK to sell.
> "It's not like we're living thousands of kilometers under the ground," he tells me.
No, not at all. That would be quite a bit hotter.
From where I stand, they are thousands of kilometers under the ground.
So they just sell the hardware and an installation instruction.

Not connecting water heaters to the Internet might be a better fix.
Then how will the internet get hot water?
In your first post to this thread.
You must be seeing things that don't exist. Doesn't surprise me.
No, not many, very few.

Good, then lets not get all worked up about a, occasional, rare, temporary and relatively much smaller impact on water temperature.
And you claim the summary is wrong: because you don't see the 5% load dip ..
Where did I claim that?
The main stream media does a good enough job creating panic as it is. More so I might add than any one man with a twitter account.
No kidding. They just claim vulnerabilities exist, then say there haven't been any successful hacks yet, and the only example they provide was a human error event, not a hack at all.
Its not a rant, it puts thing in perspective. If you don't like viewing things in perspective, you can ignore.
