Those margins have always claimed to be positive - but that's gross, before you even include SG&A. Again, another $5 million a day in losses. Profitable at gross - or net? The former isn't nearly as important as the latter...
I thought it was the smell of another $440 million burned through in Q2 2018. At that rate, they're down to about 4.5 quarters to go before the wallet is empty.
All the paper and water needed for toilets, all the mining, iron, steel plastics, and asphalt for the pipes and infrastructure, and we're missing the big die-offs from the regular cholera and typhoid outbreaks. It's all the toilet's fault!
First, the Chinese had a whole lot of "unofficial" babies that weren't reported to the government. So they didn't really go one child for everyone.
How the funk should that work? No one sees the belly? You don't bring the kid into kindergarden? It does not go to school? It has no healthcare? It is never sick? It has no passport or ID card?
Yes. If you had a second child, you had to pay large fines or the child would not get their hukou (official ID) - and thus not qualify for ANY Government programs or support. If you had a 3rd child, the fines were even higher. So many of the rich had several legal children - and many of the poor had one legal. and several illegal children.
I learned all this whilst living in China, and marrying into a Chinese family. Her parents were hoping we could give them a second grandchild since - as a foreigner - I qualified for "one free". But we had no interest in another child (my wife already had a child by a previous marriage) so one it is.
Recently, the Forest Service reported total forestation as 766,000,000 acres (3,100,000 km2) in 2012.[1][2][3] The majority of deforestation took place prior to 1910 with the Forest Service reporting the minimum forestation as 721,000,000 acres (2,920,000 km2) around 1920.[4] The forest resources of the United States have remained relatively constant through the 20th century.[3]
We don't desalinate in California because we're worried about putting salt into the oceans. Yes, brine releases in the ocean is the big concern. So rather than deal with concept that salinity may increase a percent or two over a tiny area, we'd rather pump all the ground dry, route rivers everywhere, and ration the crap out of water - while simultaneously halting farming in some of the most productive land in the US.
And this "comment" is that a doomsayer/Gaia worshiper claims that "THIS time we have it right!"... If you go by the doomsayer predictions of the last 40 years, we are 100% out of oil, most of us are dead, we cannot feed ourselves, we are either dying from the next ice age or boiling from runaway thermal, half our cities are underwater, and nuclear war has caused us all to die.
I wonder how many resources were consumed by people being informed and "reflecting" on this statement. Doesn't this entire thing contribute to the problem they are trying to inform us about?
That same ID that is required for proof of ID when applying for a job (per the I-9 form that must be filled out)! I guess if you have no job, and live for free with others, and receive no Government benefits, you COULD live ID-free...
Depends upon where you are... In CA - it's pretty much always. NO ONE would guess I am younger than 40, yet - by law - I am carded every time I enter a bar in San Francisco. Grey hair, grey whiskers, lines around the eyes, and a James Earl Jones-deep voice notwithstanding.
You can always show up and vote provisionally - even if not registered. If someone chooses not to vote for a few decades, they shouldn't be surprised to be dropped from the voting rolls...
2. This happened, but this is not new or unique with 20216's elections, it's been going on for centuries. Also, there is very little the USA can do about this. We can (and do) have laws that forbid foreign involvement, but we don't have jurisdiction to enforce these laws except on our soil.
Moreover, those laws only prevent spending expressly in support of a given candidate; a foreign entity can purchase all the "issue ads" they want, without any problem whatsoever. As long as you do not push a specific candidate, and keep it to issues-only, then you are 100% in the clear. So unless someone can show that Russia bought ads that said "Vote Trump", rather than "Vote for fair trade/build a wall/drain the swamp", there is NO problem whatsoever.
PG&E electricity rates in Socal are well above $0.13/kWh - about double that to start, and more than triple as usage climbs. Making it more than price-competitive with diesel. By your own numbers.
So, better to spend $60K up-front on an electric, rather than $30K on an FCV and then another $30K, over the course of 5 years, about 5 years down the road?
Regulations don't supercede the Constitution, otherwise we'd still have Jim Crow laws and forced housing of the mentally ill. The Supreme Court abdicating their own authority is an issue, however...
At least three. I subscribe to this. It's actually a good deal. Movies are cheaper, and if you don't use your free ticket, it rolls over to the next month, and continues. There's been a few months where there was nothing I wanted to see - and I didn't go. The next month, I saw three free movies by using the unused previous tickets. Essentially, with AMC I agree to buy 1 ticket a month at $8.95, and can buy two a month at that price if I want. I can use that ticket at any time in the future - that month, the next month, the next year.
Thankfully it's not your call. The Supreme Court has ruled that possession and carrying of firearms is an individual right and is incorporated against the States (DC v Heller and Chicago v McDonald). Furthermore, the judge in this case is doing something unconstitutional, as article III section 2 of the US Constitution states:
In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.
Since this request was brought by the States (via their attorneys general, making the States a party to the case), the ONLY court with jurisdiction to issue this injunction is the Supreme Court. This district judge not only got their position on the 1st AND 2nd amendment wrong, they got their own scope of power via article III section 2 wrong...

Developing nations are dropping as women there receive better education and greater access to birth control.
I would also add industrialization and better quality of life, as you no longer need a dozen kids to work your farm or care for you when you're old...
China has a 1.6 child-per-woman fertility rate. It's about to heel over and start having a declining population. In fact, that's why the Government recently ended the one-child policy - but it's too late, the young generation is more interested in a better lifestyle than lots of children. Population growth is still high in much of SE Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, however.

But this time, it's different, right?

Who sold more phones? The margin of "winning" got smaller - but in the end, who sold more phones?

I'm surprised there isn't a company dedicated to on-demand delivery of mini-cupcakes! There should be an app for that...
Sorry about that - hard to keep up! Gluten free, I presume? And made with free-range avocados?

The reason Apple dropped to second is because Huawei has been knocking it out of the park at Samsung’s expense.
Apple dropped to 3rd, behind Samsung (1st) and Huawei (2nd).

Tesla entices people with "free" charging as well, for a while. How is that different?
