This new report narrows down the pool of cars and crashes so much that there isn't enough data (there were not enough crashes) to get meaningful results from the analysis.
In this case, Rei made no attempt to shield her identity. I didn't do any hacking to unmask her. Just a wild guess that the "Rei" who posts about Teslas is the same as the KarenRei who posts frequently on a Tesla-related forum.
That assumes that my guess that "Rei" on/. is the same as KarenRei in the Model 3 Owner's forum is actually correct. I have no information on this.
Since San Jose has a higher population than SF, perhaps that was a stupid goal.
Airports impose a lot more delay than just the flight time. If they could get a city-center-to-city-center route that was 3 hours, that would actually be competitive.
Actually, the second biggest population center in California is San Diego.
Citation? Because official designations shows San Diego as the 17th most populous metropolitan area, while the SF Bay area is ahead in 12th place, and the definition of the latter doesn't encompass much of the East Bay.
The original route: Sacramento/LA. Why? California's two big population centers are LA and the SF Bay Area. That should have been the target route from the outset.
You don't have to be part of the.001% to buy a Tesla..001% of the US population is approximately 3000 people. Tesla has sold more than 200,000 cars in the USA.
The average new car costs $25k. A model 3 costs (after rebates) about $35k, so it is not out of reach of ordinary people. Then factor in the lower cost of ownership and it looks like the cost of an average car.
Just because you are a failure in life and can't afford a Tesla doesn't mean that many ordinary people can't afford one.
Amazon and Apple are not highly shorted. They are both at about 1 day to cover.
I did make a few thousand last year from a successful short of Sears, but I never posted negative information about Sears without also stating that I held a short position.
Tax breaks are a reduction in expenses. It is not income received.
When this deal was originally discussed on/., there were many ignorant people pushing this incorrect narrative then. I see that you did not learn the truth at that time.
The deal calls for payments (not just tax reductions) from the state to Foxconn. They are called tax credits -- but if the company's tax is negative because of the credits, money will flow from the state to the company.
This is similar to tax credits for solar power installations -- if your taxes go negative, you get a check from the government (unlike credits for electric vehicles, which cannot result in you getting a check from the government).
They only issue now is how much of the credits are dependent on performance by Foxconn.
British people are accustomed to watching TV without ads,
Not really. It's only the BBC channels that do not carry ads. Most (if not all) OTA channels carry ads. So you can often watch programs that would go out ad-free in the USA through a service like Showtime, with ads on Channel4.
ITV Player and All4, all of which host ads, saw a decline.
Shock. Perhaps it has something to do with the ITV player hosting almost no programs that are not either 1. "Reality TV" 2. Old or 3. Very old. As for Ch4, they have turned their Roku interface to sh*t. Much more difficult to find anything now. I can only think that the people who design the UI never actually use it themselves.
Try to understand the concept of "context". We were discussing the concept of raising funds to road repair by taxing electricity. Thus, my prior installation of solar panels would not be taxed. Hence your snark is just that: a snarky, irrelevant comment.
Secondly, I was quite careful to write that I pay nothing for electricity. You need to understand the difference between marginal costs (like electricity) and fixed costs (like the cost of installing the solar system).
Thirdly, and I realize that you did not know this, but, we bought a second electric car in 2018 and still pay nothing for electricity, so, in this case the cost of energy for that second car is zero.
Finally, before we got the second EV, my calculations showed payoff for my solar system in 6 years. With the price of electricity likely to rise in CA and the addition of a second EV, the payoff point is probably 4-5 years.
Thanks for your contributions to my finances through your generous subsidies to my solar system and EVs.

I have no problems with people linking my /. account to other logins on the internet that use "Whoever57", and post on similar topics.
Had I posted elsewhere as "Whoever57" and put a photo of myself and more information, linking to that would be OK, but I haven't.

So join it to BART in San Jose. No need to go all the way to SF.

This case seems to be a huge over response to what should be protected speech. There doesn't appear to be a direct threat.
The response doesn't have to include locking up and prosecuting kids who have no real intent to do anything.
So, what's the message? The first amendment doesn't apply to you, kid?
Did you actually look at that list?
It's a list of phones that no longer get updates. Obsolete, insecure phones.
Amazon and Apple are not highly shorted. They are both at about 1 day to cover.
I did make a few thousand last year from a successful short of Sears, but I never posted negative information about Sears without also stating that I held a short position.
So, all those post you made that slammed Tesla were posted while you were short on TSLA?
Yeah, I have no sympathy for your losses.
Or are you just trolling?

"However, there are just a few shows in our streaming library that are not included in the ad-free plan due to streaming rights. The good news is that episodes of the shows listed below will still stream uninterrupted -- there will just be a quick ad before and after each video. "
Also:
"If you subscribe to Hulu (No Ads) + Live TV, please note that you will still see ads during live streams, DVR recordings and the additional on-demand content that is offered directly by each network. "
GP doesn't know this, because it's not true. Hulu only has a reduced-ad tier. It's not ad-free.
Not really. It's only the BBC channels that do not carry ads. Most (if not all) OTA channels carry ads. So you can often watch programs that would go out ad-free in the USA through a service like Showtime, with ads on Channel4.

The major carriers subsidize phones and do not offer discounts if you opt to bring your own phone.
My T-Mobile LG G5 came with an app that permanently unlocked it. I had to pay nothing to unlock my phone.
The article makes much of one difference: one service shows Eastern European heritage, while the other Balkans.
But there is not a clear definition of "Eastern Europe" and it may include the Balkans, so this may be not more than a difference in semantics.
