Customers create demand but only at certain prices does that demand turn into a transaction. Ignoring the capital required to turn theoretical demand into actual demand is dumb. People who say customers create jobs have an an agenda and don't really believe that follows logically, because how could they be that dumb?
The point is just that the absence of an indicator is not an indicator of absence, and people use this argument as evidence that things are not changing now. That assumes stasis and it assumes linearity. When "things change" on important dimensions, it can be very rapid non-linear change, and that change is accelerated when everyone thinks things don't change and are fragile as a result.
You got pretty defensive there. Perhaps you realized I had a good point. Do yourself a favor and read some of the many great conservative and libertarian authors and philosophers. You will either realize your error or have a much more sound understanding of why you disagree with them.
It is just as much of a logical fallacy to use past examples of times not changing as proof that times are not changing now. If someone cries wolf, past cryings of wolf do not change the probability that there is a wolf.
Basing your voting pattern by convincing yourself that everyone on the other side is stupid/bigoted/uneducated/crazy is as intellectually weak as you can be.
Lead acid batteries need to be vented, meaning they need to be stored inside with a special vent or outside, in which case you have a problem regulating temperature. And they have to be regularly maintained, which is not exactly straightforward enough for the general hoopleheads
Pretty sure you just admitted Walmart and McDonalds meet the needs of a large segment of the market. You don't have to like either establishment. That's the beauty of a market system: it can cater to diverse needs.
In your case, there are plenty of places that will cater to your arrogant elitism.
Absolute necessities, which is what you are both trying to refer to, are pretty rare. You have to do silly things like say "food is a necessity". Yes, but what food? At Walmart, Ramen is 17 cents. Filet mignon is $20/lb. What you choose in that spectrum is want. People go to Walmart because they can "buy up" for the same price. You probably will disagree, because you want to disagree, but when you look at demand for Walmart, it's pretty self-evident. Picking examples where Walmart is the only grocery/retail store within 40 miles is pretty ridiculous, and not just because it accounts for a tiny % of Walmart's revenue and therefore has no explanatory power.
So, you "have" to go to Walmart because Walmart is the only place that can offer you what you want at the price you want it? And then you make a comparison to the DMV? This is economic ignorance.
You use the word "habit" as if you couldn't help yourself. You yourself explain that you went there because it was very easy. They offered you the service you wanted. Then, later, you decided you didn't want it anymore, because your priorities changed.
Patrons are happy at Walmart and McDonalds, or they wouldn't patronize the establishments religiously. Yet these are two of the most "hated" brands for reasons that have nothing to do with the services they provide patrons.
You seem to be suggesting that you are brilliant because you chose to lease, yet you did not include any justification or math to support that implication.
That is not how trackers work. Most trackers simply operate by relative gas expansion. The sun heats one side of the horitontal tube/bag more than the other due to position, and that causes the tracker to push the panel in the right direction. No motor, no eye, almost no moving parts. Not at all over engineered
You make this sound simple. You are glossing over a lot of detail that requires non-programming skill. Especially given he is clearly trying to avoid a management role, why eould you even suggest this? At a minimum, he needs to understand the business and managerial and risk mitigation functions he will need to play, in order to determine whether he has the skills required and desire to play those roles.
I do not follow your comment. I do not know what it means to charge different portions of a battery at the same time in parallel. Either they are connected cells into a single battery, or they aren't. If they are connected, then there is only one battery and your comment doesn't make sense to me. I think gp is correct that we are talking higher current.
Because they last 200k miles with minimal maintenance? I own a 2004 3-series with 160k miles on it, and it is the cheapest car when converted to $/yr I have ever owned. I have learned that the crap you are spewing is all manufactured perception, and likely the new iteration of "buy American" (which is really "buy union", since "foreign cars" are just built in the southern U.S. by nonunion factories).

a study finding no link does not confirm the absence of a link.

Most of the people who hate Walmart and McDonalds do not shop there and can afford not to shop there.

> It wasn't too long after that that I realized this segment of the market was new enough and moving fast enough that a lease would make more sense
I would be interested to hear the justification, which is missing in your post.

The size of the project is irrelevant. You are engaging in a logical fallacy. $100k is equal to $100k for projects of any size.
You have the burden of proof backwards, my "pro-science" friend.

Just because your model predicted the outcome of something does not mean your model is accurate.
Performance improvements should lead to faster load times for the massive waiting lists
Bingo. Submitter, like most people, does not understand how to interpret numbers like this
