In order to maintain Moore's Law -- by which transistor density doubles every two years or so -- it now takes 18 times as many scientists as it did in the 1970s. That means each researcher's output today is 18 times less effective in terms of generating economic value than it was several decades ago.
Only if you assume that economic value is directly proportional to transistor density, which is by no means a given.
The reason you can't say that now might be due to the fact that once you burn the oil, it's gone. CMIIR, but I think lithium batteries can be used more than once.
If Tesla can sell the same hardware at different price points and still make a profit then the higher price point is simply profiteering. I would rather they sell it at a fair price.
A fair price? Is that what you think it should be, what I think it should be, what Elon Musk thinks it should be or (crazy talk) what the customer is willing to pay?

You mean they're egostistical assholes?
Dropping article. Annoys shit out of me.
There are 7 billion reasons why you're wrong.
Perhaps it did.
It works the other way round too: if you don't die, you're more likely to move around. Win win!

Simple. Get two mirrors, and place them *exactly* parallel. Do I have to do all the thinking around here?
P.S. They go shiny sides *in*.
Well they're entitled to ask for a full refund of whatever they paid for it.
Fucking rubbish. If it's selling things for more than they cost to make (factoring in overheads and shit) then it's making a profit.
I have a magic lamp and the genie thereof makes 70000 cakes a day appear for fucking nowt, which I then sell. You're saying I'm not making a profit?
That depends more on whether everybody else automates everything than whether I do.
They could stop fucking up UIs all the time.
But ... it's been touched by a poor person. Bleurgh!
And in the unlikely event that one of the feckless bastards gets a job offer, I'm sure they can be informed by pigeon or something.
To be truly classy it has to be non-rhotic - shaht, like they say at Hahvahd.
Those bastards? They're almost as bad as the Stasi!
Which Rolls-Royce? If it's the car one I rest my case.

This will have roman_mir, cayenne8 and StupidKuntle in a hissy fit!
Do you have mandatory gay marriage, death panels and sharia law like they have in Venezuela?
From DeVry? You could have saved some money and gone here.
They're going back to Mexico?
Come on, you were all thinking it.
A single model that falls between two stools - with neither sufficient volume nor margin to be viable.
Differential pricing. It's econ 101, educate yourself.
A fair price? Is that what you think it should be, what I think it should be, what Elon Musk thinks it should be or (crazy talk) what the customer is willing to pay?
You found a *word*. I said *phrase*.

It should, but it doesn't. The converse isn't true either.
