255 out of the 900 valuation (more than a third of the total!) is from Tesla Network Services, which I believe is the other one that doesn’t exist yet. It seems pretty clear to me that the only reason to value tesla stock at 900 is becuase you expect others will pay that much; essentially the textbook definition of…

Tell everyone to fuck off and enjoy some alone time in the woods.

The econ 101 answer to that question is that the current stock valuation reflects the stock market’s expectation of a company’s future earnings, over the course of maybe the next 7 years or so. That may still apply to some old school businesses like utilities but it doesn’t apply to most stocks and it certainly…

The issue of fair compensation is the only part of the compliant that holds water legally, becuase the image is clearly not pornographic. But that’s not going to get a bunch of headlines, and part of the strategy here is clearly to bring a lot of PR pressure to force a settlement. 

David did he have a towel? If he has a towel he’s ok.

I happened to have my screen scrolled so I could see your comment but not the image, and my first thought was to reply with exactly that image... 

If you’re working on your car or doing something that requires you to turn it on and off without actually driving it you’ll probably just reach in and latch up the seat belt and leave it there, no big deal. 

Well, at least what I paid attention too out of the first episode is horrible... So in theory everything except for the first 10 minutes or so might be excellent and I'll never know. I suppose that’s just a risk I’m going to have to take.

Well I wouldn’t say that Jeopardy literally can’t find a new host; the issue is that they chose not to. Instead they made the selection process a big rating-grab spectacle with a bunch of celebrities who were mostly ill-suited for the job. And then of course in hindsight it looks like the fix was in for Richards to…

The Mormon religion does seem to be noticeably shittier than the average religion, but I've met may Mormons and they are generally very nice, very helpful people.

It doesn’t matter one bit. it’s the trucks responsibility to drive at a speed and following distance that allows him to respond to something unexpected in front of him, in this case he wasn’t even remotely close to meeting that standard. 

The do your own research part is what pisses me off. Becuase the vast majority of us (myself included) should NOT be doing our own research into this sort of stuff. That’s exactly what leads people down internet rabbit holes, some of which contain all sorts of deadly misinformation. We should be trusting the people…

the way I understand it is that the electromagnetic force is easy for us to manipulate becuase it is expressed via positive and negative particles. controlling the interactions of Protons and Electrons forms the foundation for any of our electrical or chemical technologies (so, pretty much everything we do). Gravity…

It’s a bucket of bolts that appears to have been flipped, with the absolute minimum effort invested to chase those boomer dollars with the “Rat Rod” look. You’re probably right that some boomer will buy it though. 

Yeah the closer you look at the pics the worse it looks. the rust and primer actually seem to camouflage it at first. 

The best part is the beginning, when he calmly stands up, looks around, and calmly starts walking down the conveyor belt as if he’s strolling through the concourse without a care in the world... What was he seeing? What was he thinking? Sadly, we may never know.

Hopefully here.

Personally I agree with a lot of the criticism around current “self driving” technology, especially when it comes to some of the more...let’s just say “optimistic” claims made by Elon Musk. But it’s a BIG leap to go from “current self driving tech is very far from ready for use” to “self driving cars will never be a…
