  1. Re: Tesla bonds on Tesla's Limited-Edition Surfboards Now Selling For $6,450 (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure you know how "shorting" works. Tesla stock performance over the last 12 months hasn't been very good, and the future looks worse. Most shorts are for 2019 and beyond. By the way, your hero just posted a Hitler video on Twitter. The guy isn't too smart.

    I'm not sure if you guys know how it works. Tesla stock is STILL down over the last 12 months. By the way, your God has done psycho again on Twitter. I'm sure this will end well though.

  3. And their junk bonds are selling for 90 cents on the dollar.

  4. Guy who lives in Calgary Canada is upset that websites in the US without a local CDN load slowly. First World problems.

    Exactly. Or go visit Fallingwater. There is literally cardboard crammed in the walls because the water is leaking through.

    Assembly is the easiest language to learn actually, because it forces you to break everything down into tiny components.

  7. You need to ask Rei. He will give you a complete breakdown of the profits per-component and the profit margin. I am sure it is really profitable, because Tesla and SolarCity are making huge amounts of profit.

    Architecture is an excellent example. You probably think an architect designs a building and it just happens and there are no issues. The reality is that building have TONS of issues. Some of the "greatest" architects have produced buildings that have leaky roofs and cost millions just to maintain. And we have been making buildings a lot longer than we have been building software.

    It is that easy. The problem is that many people can't think logically or break down problems into manageable parts. By the way, I can show you "issues lists" of automobiles, or buildings, or airplanes, anything moderately complex. Every system that has complexity has issues. You software guys think that software is the only thing that have bugs.

    You don't need to be super-intelligent to program effectively. You just need to be able to think logically and break down tasks. It doesn't need to be made easier, because if you can't do those two things you shouldn't be programming.

    Just another guy who wants to make another programming language environment. Visual programming has always failed. But it doesn't stop the next idiot from suggesting it again.

    I have the same problem with Electrical Engineering: why do you need to know stuff in order to do EE? They should make the tools simpler so everyone can participate. You know, have like blocks that fit together so you can build a robot or a rearrange to build a mobile phone, etc.

  13. Yeah but it is $100 per SIM and I am able to process about 800 per day so...oh crap. Forget I said anything.

    Even if it were 60% effective, or 5% effective it would be a better use of money than building rocket ships to Mars.

  16. Thats pretty amazing you were able to review 37 grants in 3 minutes. Good job. I'll let the Google guys know their personal airships are a better place to spend their extra billions.

    Musk could have helped, but he was too busy donating to Republicans and Democrats to "keep discussion open". And the Google guys are too busy building personal airships. And the other ones are busy building rocket companies to take themselves to Mars.

  18. Thats true. Once you made drugs legal, underage people will stop purchasing them because it is regulated for people of age. Makes sense.

  19. "It's almost as if you make it easy to buy/use something legally, people will be more likely to use it."

    That is the argument people use to keep certain drugs illegal.

    What do you want? A company to run a fiber line to your (remote) vacation home? I don't know why people complain about this. If you live in a a rural area, or vacation there, you can't expect fiber. You might not even have sewage hookups. Ridiculous.

    No. Real estate agents try to "name" neighborhoods in order to create enclaves of pricing. There are no real names of neighborhoods. Completely made up. Even in the summary it said the neighborhood had THREE names.

    Ah, I see. So you are saying there is some flawed about their country of origin, and they need to be welcomed to "a country that fosters those talents" instead. NOW I get what you guys are saying. So throwing open the borders is the solution here? Or would it make every country flawed like the countries they came from? It sounds like you think some countries are better than others in "fostering talents". I wonder why that is.
