Model 3 deliveries are up 522.25%, but Model S and X deliveries are down 44.50%
In 1Q 2018, Tesla delivered: 11,730 Model S 10,070 Model X 8,180 Model 3
In 1Q 2019, Tesla delivered:
12,100 Model S and X combined (Tesla didn't break down S and X deliveries separately) 50,900 Model 3
Maybe the Model S and Model X are getting dated and in need of a redesign and update? Cars usually have a 5-6 year model (generation) run before a completely redesigned model hits the lots.
The source stated that the spyware program was developed by a staff member in the Sydney head office who modified off-the-shelf data scraping software.
They said the Sydney employee did it under his own authority, and that once Uber discovered this, they requested he stop.
According to the former senior employee, the Sydney developer of the spyware had moved from Sydney to Singapore at the time when Uber and Grab were fighting it out for dominance of the massive rideshare market in South-East Asia.
They "requested" that he stop? Why didn't Uber fire him?
Instead, it looks like they sent him to Singapore to help grow Uber's market share there, using the same dirty tactics.
The first-available model will start at $47,000 and arrive in fall 2020. You can place a refundable deposit of $2,500 to secure your place in line when the vehicle becomes available. The base model of the Model Y -- the $39,000 version -- won't be available until "sometime in 2021," Musk said.
Based on Tesla's track record, that means the first-available $47,000 model will arrive in Spring 2021, while the based $39,000 version won't be available until sometime in late 2021 or early 2022.
I want 5G, and even 6G, technology in the United States as soon as possible. It is far more powerful, faster, and smarter than the current standard. American companies must step up their efforts, or get left behind. There is no reason that we should be lagging behind on.........
....something that is so obviously the future. I want the United States to win through competition, not by blocking out currently more advanced technologies. We must always be the leader in everything we do, especially when it comes to the very exciting world of technology!
This is a plethora of marketing doublespeak. Here's one gem I've seen before:
In a letter to the FCC on Monday, T-Mobile CEO John Legere made a personal pledge to regulators that the "New T-Mobile" would not raise prices on its service following the merger
They won't raise prices following the merger. No. They'll wait 3 whole minutes and then raise prices in a completely unrelated way.
This entire pledge is devoid of content. How about putting some measurable numbers on that? How about "not raise prices on its services in the 12 months following the merger".
T-Mobile CEO John Legere typically proposes deals to wireless consumers. Now he is offering one to the Federal Communications Commission.
If the FCC approves the telecom company's $26 billion merger with competitor Sprint, T-Mobile will put price increases on hold for three years, Legere said in note sent this week to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai.
Netflix would lose a lot of subscribers but not all of them would leave.
Look at all the people (tens of millions) who pay for cable television and put up with ads. There are also millions who pay for Hulu and are shown ads.
. . . if you watch about 4 hours of content, you'll wind up having to sit through about a hour of commercials if the streaming service uses the same ratio that television does.
Who says you have to sit there and watch the commercials?
What does mobile payments provide to me that cash or card does not?
Your cash and credit card can get lost or stolen and then be used by whoever finds it. This won't happen with, for example, Apple Pay if you lose your iPhone. So I suppose the answer would be security.
The staff reductions come despite billions in tax breaks and regulatory favors AT&T promised would dramatically boost both investment and job creation.
I guess my area will never get U-verse. It's been over 10 years and I keep receiving advertisements for their U-verse service.
But the best service I can get is their DSL at 6 Mbps for $40/mo.
I wonder if the China tariff stuff gets resolved this month
I'm not expecting that to happen. China's playing the long game and waiting it out. Trump will be president for another 6 years max, 2 if his trade dispute with China puts us in a recession. Xi Jinping is president for life.
China's willing to cut off their nose to spite their face.
The weakened demand came primarily from China, although Cook notes that "in some developed markets, iPhone upgrades also were not as strong as we thought they would be."
Really? Then why do I have such a strong preference for it vs Chrome, and why is Firefox my primary browser?
Firefox is still my main browser. It has been since the Mozilla suite 0.8 beta days nearly 20 years ago. I feel like we're just choosing the least worst of the browsers.
Introducing an ad(s) in your browser (even if it was just and experiment) is not cool.
It feels like Firefox has been slowly losing their way. The user should be in control of the browser. Mozilla seems to be slowly taking that ability away little by little.
I was gonna say, they should just skip the bandwagon and start calling their stuff 6G
No. No, no. Not 6G. 7G. Nobody's coming out with 6G. Who wants 6G?
7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man. That's the number.
7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office.
Not really... in general, products that develop a defect due to faulty manufacturing will not be repaired for free unless the product is under warranty, or unless the defect poses a danger to public health or safety. Giving an example that expressly falls into the latter category doesn't really disprove the general argument.
Toyota announced in early 2015 that they would replace for free 4.5 million dashes on cars up to 12 years old. The warranty on those cars would have run out long ago.
And a sticky dash is not a defect that poses a danger to public health or safety.
The manufacturer has agreed to replace dashboards free of charge.
The only catch is that dashboard replacement parts are scarce and the 4.5 million required won't be available until late Spring, depending on the model and make of your vehicle.
The affected models for Toyota are-
2003 to 2005 4Runner 2005 to 2010 Avalon 2007 to 2011 Camry and Camry Hybrid 2004 to 2010 Sienna 2004 to 2008 Solara
The affected Lexis models are-
2007-08 ES 350 2003-08 GX470 2006-08 IS250& 350 2007 LS460 2004-06 RX Sport Utility 330 2007-08 RX Sport Utility350 2005-08 RX Sport Utility400H/quote.
In 20 years, the idea of picking up a device or sitting down at a computer to actively use it will seem quaintly antiquated. All computing will be ambient -- all around us all the time, whispering in our ear, augmenting the real world through our prescription eyeglasses and car windshields, perceiving our emotions and desires and taking action in the background to help us reach our business goals and live a better life. Between now and then we'll all ride together on a very interesting journey from computers we actively use to computing resources increasingly acting in the background for us.

But I strongly suspect cash handling costs are much more than what the merchant pays to accept debit card payments.
Then why do fueling stations offer cash discounts? Cash payment gets you between $0.10 and $0.20 off per gallon vs credit card payment.

Look at all the people (tens of millions) who pay for cable television and put up with ads. There are also millions who pay for Hulu and are shown ads.
I'd say the frequency at which there are commercial interruptions and the duration of them matter too.
. . . if you watch about 4 hours of content, you'll wind up having to sit through about a hour of commercials if the streaming service uses the same ratio that television does.
Who says you have to sit there and watch the commercials?

Change playback settings to Medium from Auto (default) or High during last week of month/period?
Streaming price started at $8.
That should be $7.99, not $8
NFLX, thanks for encoutaging by constant price hikes.
encoutaging? English, please.
Netflix hasn't been constantly hiking prices.

Streaming price started at $8.
In April 2014, prices changed to $7.99 (Basic plan), $8.99 (Standard plan), $11.99 (Premium plan).
In October 2015, prices changed to $7.99 (Basic), $9.99 (Standard plan), $11.99 (Premium plan).
In October 2017, prices changed to $7.99 (Basic), $10.99 (Standard plan), $13.99 (Premium plan).

The weakened demand came primarily from China, although Cook notes that "in some developed markets, iPhone upgrades also were not as strong as we thought they would be."
The writing was on the wall when, for the 1st time, Apple increased iPhone trade-in credit in late November by up to $100 to get lure people in to buy the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max, and then extending the offer to other countries like China, Japan, and Australia, and throughout Europe a month later.
Firefox lost its way long ago.
Really? Then why do I have such a strong preference for it vs Chrome, and why is Firefox my primary browser?
Firefox is still my main browser. It has been since the Mozilla suite 0.8 beta days nearly 20 years ago. I feel like we're just choosing the least worst of the browsers.
Introducing an ad(s) in your browser (even if it was just and experiment) is not cool.
Not being able to turn off annoying update prompts in version 63 was annoying. So was introducing prompts in version 64 to try out extensions and features.
