They would have no problem with selling to places with high gasoline prices and low electricity prices such as major parts of Europe.. The world is a large place. And that's ignoring the fact that M3 *is* cheaper that Model S which still sold well despite being more expensive than M3 by more than the amount of the tax break. In any case, Tesla still seems to have more problems with manufacturing rather than with selling whatever they manage to manufacture.
The best manipulation is always the most innocuous. I mean, if you get too overt, you will get called out. So the fact that things seem superficially innocuous might not necessarily tilt the scales to either option.
I would actually expect changes over time to be important since a comparison static in time might not allow you to make sense of how the productivity and working hours are influenced by peculiarities of different countries. If I'm looking for how changes in working hours translate into changes in productivity, I'd expect other things to be mostly the same for the comparison, for which one country at different times seems more usable than multiple countries at the same time. And even if I cant disambiguate the countries, I'd expect to see at least some trend in it.
Considering the license, the implementation language, etc., one might argue that this project may have been somewhat underwhelming from the very beginning.
I used to put my hopes into HSAIL, but now I'm rather in the SPIR(-V) territory. If Vulkan becomes widespread, it shouldn't matter whether you like C, C++, or anything else. Of course, unless nVidia finds ways to screw things up for everyone again, as they like to do.
Ticketmaster isn't doing anything wrong other than responding to customer demand.
Wouldn't it at least qualify as false advertising if they're complicit in snatching tickets for low advertised prices and enabling reselling them at much higher prices?
Regarding predictions, my impression is that a lot of them are actually fulfilled, even if ultimately in somewhat different way. And perhaps a bit later than expected. Also, concerning cybernetics in particular, it's kind of difficult to satisfy expectations when we don't even have an fully satisfactory (to everyone) definition of what "intelligence" is.
I wonder if there is an term opposite to "herd immunity" to be coined here. Once a sufficient number of people does something crazy, the remaining people rejecting it might start to look like crazies to them.
But thanks for your admission that Falcon 9 never lifted 10 tonnes to LEO...bbbut it "can"...
Falcon 9 lifted 10 tonnes to LEO.
Atlas V is can strap up to 5 booster side packs, different animal.
Nope, never lifted 18 tonnes so it can't. Atlas V never even lifted more than 10 tonnes, actually. It therefore can't - hey, your logic, not mine!
If you had any ability at all to work with a few numbers, you'd be able to tell Falcon 9 send Telstar 19V into sub-GTO, not a legitimate GTO orbit.
Interesting that you mention Telstar 19V. As per Tsiolkovsky, its 7-tonne mass to sub-GTO together with known stage 2 parameters of 4 tonnes dry mass, 112 tonnes gross mass, 348s Isp translates to around 15 tonnes to LEO using the same ASDS flight profile. That's not even considering expendable flight profiles.

Considering that cats are in the habit of deciding things for you on their own even above quantum level, it sounds about right.
And the goods were sold new, with usual warranty? Company had actual headquarters, contact information?

I thought Fox was the fox in the hen house?
I mean, social engineering used to be considered a part of hacking. And KGB and friends used to be very good at social engineering back then.
There's a Facebook Party in the United States?
There's RISC OS, where no code is privileged. ;)

$9 for the compiler, I presume?
Or OpenGL 4.x compute shaders, or Vulkan.

It would be nice have some followup, but obviously one is very unlikely to hear anything about that from the persons involved.
Maybe /., just like nostalgia, isn't what it used to be?
Maybe it's a perennial conflict between laziness and boredom?

It's not really currency. It doesn't really seem to have the properties of one. Stability, for example.
Probably using the same legal apparatus that is used to constraint other human interactions?
It can be popular but the manufacturing is still a little bit on the "too little, too late, too expensive" side.
There's a pretty big debate on, for example, whether you can have morality without God.
As a Czech, I almost pissed myself with laughter. :-p

Now *this* is what I consider worthwhile research.
