Yes. I think $60k is expensive for a new car. I just bought one myself. Teslas are for the rich %1, because invariably they have a gas guzzler SUV at their suburban home garage as well as backup. Ridiculous.
Further proof that Moore's Law is dead. Of course, people hate to hear it, because that means that many things they dreamed of in the digital world won't happen. From now on you can expect only marginal improvement in digital computing year over year.
Tesla is just following the tech industry model of SaaS. Essentially pay a monthly fee for their "services". Keep your car connected to the Mother corporation.
You can't reason with people. They have decided that climate change is bad, yet they have no solution for solving it. "Produce less greenhouse gas". OK, how? If it were so simple, why are the global CO2 emissions rising, particularly in the EU where they always say "produce less greenhouse gas".
Big corporations like MS are no longer US companies. They are mega-conglomerates that are above national boundaries. The real question is why is any government running closed source software?
What, exactly, isn't getting "done" when they use Linux? The only thing that isn't getting done is that some MS sales rep isn't getting paid and thus isn't bribing the right people.
Name a single thing that desktop Linux can't do, that Windows can. And don't say "play games". And stop with the "run my (esoteric) CAD software". Everyone on the planet seems to be a CAD guy when this comes up. This is what those people do: run a web browser, check email, write documents/spreadsheets. Thats it. You could do all those things on Linux, especially with Office365.
I would never short Tesla, because people like you are irrational. Why would you (in individual) buy a stock at $263 that has a P/E multiple of NEGATIVE 90? It is nonsensical. You cannot possibly make enough profit to justify the risk, especially if you bought at $263! You have "made" 16% so far. But in reality you haven't made anything because there is no return. The stock could go up 200% and it still wouldn't be worth the risk.
Thats pretty amazing that Tesla has thousands of suppliers. But I am sure that being $10 billion in debt, firing 9% of your employees and asking for retroactive refunds is OK. Nothing to worry about. Because it is a growth stock and growth will continue forever!
Exactly. If you are going to invest in something worthwhile make sure you have the source code available. Ideally that extends to open hardware too, but I am afraid that will not likely happen. With the way the tech world is going, both open source and open hardware will be unavailable in the future.
These tech stocks are priced with massive growth baked in. No one cares about profit or debt, just growth, in tech stocks. Eventually you run out of people that sign up your website, or are willing or able to buy a $50,000+ electric vehicle and your growth ends. By that time, the insiders have cashed out enough of their positions to get rich, but the individual suckers get screwed over. Tesla has a way to go, but likely 2019 will be the end of Tesla. The Q2 report will be "good", though.
If by "served nicely" you mean given you nothing in return (no cash) and a 20% on paper loss over the last 12 months then I have a bunch of stocks to "serve you quite nicely".:)
There is no way Intel is going to rearchitect their chips. They are just tweaking cache and clock speeds at this point. There is no reason to do anything else - they are rolling in the money.

A proper temperature scale is Kelvin, not C.

You would think Google would have figured this out already, and they could inject ads in the comment stream.
It seems to indicate this for the desktop app only. Does anyone use a desktop app to view Youtube? How would you block ads?

It is a shame. Willingly paying for closed source malware and spyware isn't my idea of using money wisely.
A simple explanation of the score is this: the scale goes from 0 to 0.
Open source has taken off like wildfire. You are using it right now. You are just too dumb to realize it.

Since it is open source, just update it yourself or pay someone to update it for you. That is why you have the source code.
Cmon. Canada?
"Now, the University of Alberta will not only be know for being the birthplace of Deepmind's AlphaGo"
Exactly. That is why this is unlikely.
No they won't. Don't count on it. They will just speed up the mitigations.

That would be trillion. If the GDP of the US was only 20 billion we would be in big trouble. As it is, we are in big trouble, but not THAT bad.
