You could try to make out production numbers like that but the quarter was way more productive than the previous one so it's just not a credible analysis.
In my experience working for big companies including Microsoft and Google, they often don't finish their large projects on time. Commonly they're promising them at a different date externally. But you set an aggressive date in part to organize your team around that. And they are doing just fine - they don't even build material things like cars, it was just a question of organizing ourselves. At Google if you met all your quarterly objectives they'd say you weren't being aggressive enough in your goals.
Remember that to maximize the tax deduction they reduced us sales in q2 to say under 200k, lots more went to other countries like canada. Q3 will be much higher sles. So look at sales and production.
Congrats on your new career. How were you able to make that change? Usually there's a lot of education and background experience required to get to the point of employability. We need more people to see the opportunity, there's a severe worker shortage in tech/it/software development related fields.
Logic, intolerance of many religious people to ideas that touch on their 'beliefs'. Programmers have to test their hypothesis over and over again, they can't just believe, at least in the domain of their code. I think this tends to select for skeptical types. I remember in probably kindergarten when I asked "so if god created us, who created god"? Silence greeted me, finally told "we don't ask that question". Sure, I'm generalizing, many people can separate science and logic from religious thought or are comfortable separating them. Some of my friends are even religious./s
One of the major complaints about the head tax, beyond simply driving business away, is that it demonstrates the mayor's and city council's "Red Queen thinking": "Funding first, plan afterward!"...
Okay, so whats your idea? I live in Seattle and work in Pioneer Square, it's a horrible endless problem. I haven't heard any real alternatives other than I don't like paying taxes.
A round of applause for Amazon standing up to government bullying and blackmail.
Seattle would be better off without amazon at this point. They have screwed up the traffic for the entire area and haven't put anything toward helping it. They are part of the reason that normal jobs are getting priced out of the area. I hope they move out and don't go just to Bellevue. Leave the entire puget sound. We'd be better off right now if you could take the pressure off infrastructure growth, housing, etc. I'm a software engineer, in Seattle.
civil forfeiture is definitely wrong. the idea that an org like your local cops can be incentivized to pick people who are unlikely to get a good lawyer to argue against seizing their property, where you (the cops) get to keep that property for yourself. That sounds like the mafia.
Well, he hasn't managed to control the judiciary, but if the republicans keep appointing people who can't do the most basic judicial functions, including knowing the vocabulary of judges, then they may get there. Those appointments of completely unqualified people will destroy the judiciary.

But stay in to handmade software. I always find it confusing to think about what IT means. Does it mean programming, putting packages together, mostly creative work? I'm a software engineer and I've only worked on new original infrastructure software and that's a great and enjoyable and highly paid job.
I think assembling packages to build solutions is the part of tech work that will be in jeopardy. I think those who are able to and trained for creating software from scratch will be the last ones employeed.
If we get to the point where an AI robot can perform electrical old work in a 50+ year old building, then nobody is going to have a job, and we have bigger economical problems.
Did you see the article where they were replacing people in alaska who launch weather balloons with automated launchers? I can imagine a world where it's easier to tear down the old building and build a new one instead of repairing it, just like we treat a lot of consumer goods today.
There is not a single well-to-do liberal who sends their kid to regular public school.
Then above
"There is not a single well-to-do liberal."
FTFY.
Both of these are silly posts. I'm fortunate to be an overpaid software engineer, I'm liberal, I'm well to do, I went to public school and so do my children.
The reason for this is the current generation looks down on blue collar work thinking that its beneath them. [...]
This isn't helped at the university level where lots of liberal teachers preach that blue collar workers are nothing but a bunch of dumb hicks that are not smart enough to find something better.

Trimmed it down a bit. That's just an ignorant viewpoint. Suppose I said "My very conservative Republican father thinks people who don't go to college are idiots". An anecdote like yours or mine don't prove anything about how liberals or conservatives generally feel, it's just hateful ignorant speech that's trying to push people in a certain direction. If anything, my liberal friends think we should provide training to people for the fields that need them, like factory worker jobs that can't be filled. We want to help people and we see the value of those jobs. Of course you must discount my views because I'm a liberal in Seattle.
But there's a problem, a lot of sites I use in my daily life have out of date security because of the tls version change recently. Chrome tells me that 3 or 4 sites I use where I type my password have dangerous security.
The Tesla batteries last longest because they are actively cooled (and heated in cold weather) when charging. That's the magic key to keeping the batteries from going bad, and not being impacted why charging at high kws. That's the reason why leaf's are damaged by frequent high voltage/amperage charging. It's tesla's magic feature, and it's a major piece of tech that up to now at least their competitors haven't build.
I suppose the new porsche that will take 400kw charging must have a cooling and heating system, or the batteries would be quickly destroyed.
... Someday we will have flow batteries to handle surges and bridge short intermittencies, but even when those become technologically mature it's not likely they will have capacities in the giga-joule hour range. So that means some sort of base production with reasonably fast spin up times.
there are already flow batteries in the form of lithium battery systems created by tesla in use in 100s of locations around the world, including the for some reason much talked about system in australia. then there are the older 'storage' systems that pumped water up above reservoirs in the night. Or were you talking about something else?
I don't get if you are trying to be sarcastic, but there are lots of kids going hungry and without breakfast and free lunch they wouldn't have enough food. this is in seattle, it's really happening.
In the oil crisis in the early 70s, the prediction was that we were going to all be on non-oil heating and transportation well before the turn of the century. Didn't happen.
We did end up with way more natural gas powered heating today than before, by a massive amount.

So you must be a shorter then?
You could try to make out production numbers like that but the quarter was way more productive than the previous one so it's just not a credible analysis.
If they stopped successfully making new things at fast enough rates, they'd fail. They don't fail. That's why they keep going.

They aren't making the cheaper versions yet, 5k * 50k is 250 million of cash flow. I think they will be doing okay.

What's wrong with these leading democratic women again? the main argument against them is years of attacks from republicans.

tesla has the most miles driven, the most long distance ev cars. there just aren't much info from their competitors.
