Taco Bell is always explosive... in many ways...

12 years old is hardly a startup company. The cash burn is indicative of a company expanding - but the operating losses need to stop, and soon.

Sure - it could well be that their marginal production cost is below their marginal revenue while they’re still pulling losses. This is somewhat similar to the Chevy Volt, whose detractors blasted saying they had a $50,000 loss per vehicle. That was a number fabricated assuming all development costs were sunk and…

It was calculated using the operating loss divided by the number of vehicles sold. So yes, it includes R&D costs that are expensed, not capitalized. But capital investment in a new production line cannot be expensed in a single quarter, but must be depreciated over time. That will create a cash burn, but will not…

No, it isn’t the latter. $359 million / $4000 = 89,750. Tesla doesn’t sell that many cars in a quarter.

It was calculated using the $47 million operating loss they had last quarter, divided by the 11,532 vehicles they sold. That equal $4,075 operating loss per vehicle.

What’s interesting to me: These budgets are considered to be disasterous by the GOP. Yet Ohio’s governor, who was part of this clown show, has done far worse to education budgets in the state, and calls the cuts “modest”. Under his idea of “modest” cuts, our local school district’s budget is getting decimated.…

I don’t know if you could do the same thing with a Chromecast, but I’ve been able to get Raspberry Pis for under $20. The Raspberry Pi 2 is about on par with a Chromecast for cost...

7-8 AM is “VERY EARLY”?

You obviously don’t have kids. :)

Yeah, the discounts so far aren’t that steep. The TrueCar price through my insurance co. is $30,608, putting the price after tax credits at $23,108. The MSRP for the 2016 is set at $33,995. Both would get the same tax credit — so the 2016 would be $26,495. That’s assuming I have enough taxes owed for the full credit…

I’m hoping that the old model gets hefty discounts on clearance. If I fit in it, I’d dump my 18 year old car for one at a good price. My commute is short enough that I could recharge at work (free charging) every day and almost never have to buy gas.

No love for lambsquarters? Its all over the place and makes an excellent substitute for spinach when cooked.

Be careful with purslane. To an untrained eye, spurge looks very similar, but spurge is toxic. If the leaves have a spot pattern on them, it is most certainly spurge. Even if they don’t, it could still be spurge - the easiest way to tell, from my experience, has been the leaf feel and thickness - Purslane leaves are…

4th: Not a chance it will kill the industry. Autonomous cars will revolutionize the auto insurance industry, however. A truly autonomous vehicle will take driver error out of the equation, and will in all probability lead to significantly reduced claims. That means lower costs, and all customers being essentially the…

Don’t take this chart at face value. Your penalty/bonus is VERY highly dependent upon your individual deductions and sources of income and how you’re allowed to split them in your state.

Get a new accountant. Yours sounds absolutely terrible. If you earn less money, you’ll pay less in taxes, but you’ll still have less after-tax income. Nudging into that higher tax bracket only affects the income above that threshold. So if, for example, you earned $74,900 combined in taxable income (after deductions…

The story you tell might be missing some significant details.

For example, let’s say you’re in the 25% tax bracket and are projecting a return of several thousand dollars. Then you pick up some extra work. The catch is that employer does not know what other sources of income you have. They will by default use the tax…

Of course the brackets are different for single, married filing separately, and married filing jointly. For singles or married filing separately, the 25% tax bracket starts at $37,451. For married filing jointly, the 25% tax bracket starts at $74,901 - or almost exactly twice what it is for singles.

So if your AGI is…

Remember that the higher tax bracket only applies to the portion of your income above the limit for that bracket. Ie, if you’re $100 into the 28% bracket, only that $100 is taxed at 28% - everything else is still taxed at the lower bracket rates.

Toyota would call that “all-new”
