A far better solution would be setting up their IDE to have autocomplete enabled, no time searching for variables, as they come up with the first few letters entered. The search and copy suggests method they're not using their tools to

Automatics don't use a traditional clutch for transmissions, so it wouldn't actually stall, but your other points could be true.

Replying to myself here because I can't edit it after someone has responded? I meant wearing our brakes is cheaper to fix that engine parts.

Automatics disengage the driveshaft to save wear on engine parts. It's an active decision, not being "too dumb". Wearing out brakes is cheaper to fix than wearing out your brakes, and people like longer lasting, cheaper to fi

There are still millions of stock traders, if you're meaning brokers, then yes, automated routing and matching has dropped the number of brokers dramatically. It's estimated around 10% of the volume of trades are still the result

Well that would just be another one of the real-life consequences, good or bad, for either party involved.

Robinhood is an app that lets you trade, it's all real trading on the same market as everyone else, it's just an app allowing you access. WallStreetBets is just a community of "investors" who trade on real markets, but

I think part of what makes it so hilarious is the real-life effects. Other communities might have inside jokes but on WSB they're references to times people committed financially insane actions with real consequences. There's not

You're not really nitpicking, the parent comment has stretched democracy somewhat to encompass a lot of what I assume they associate with a good government.

Podcasts can also be uploaded to services that intersperse advertising (or place them at determined points) on their own, even if the host doesn't read the adverts during the podcast. Midroll is the big name in that business.

In Australia under the Consumer Data Right it would be an offence to wait before disclosing this. Unfortunately it doesn't cover all industries yet.

In your very own link it says the term is used to refer to "run-of-the-mill, low-quality literature".

Raw milk has no nutritious difference to pasteurised milk, unless you count diseases as nutrition.

Almost no companies have direct elections because CEOs rightfully hate them, shareholders get scared and can make uninformed decisions, and the board is better informed to decide on the behalf of shareholders. In the cases they do exist, st

To clarify, shareholders don't vote to fire a CEO, so a majority is only tangentially important. The board votes on these sorts of decisions, however shareholders vote on nominations for board members -that are put forward by a seperat

The CEO Tim Sweeney has a majority ownership so can outvote Tencent, and the board is in his favour. It won't happen.

Why would I assume you knew that? Not everyone is well versed in stocks so I was replying in case you thought tesla was unique in being priced based on speculated future earnings. I admit I said it in a pretty condescending way though.

People use youtube for more than 40 minutes at a time on average, FB; 20 minutes. These are because their recommendation systems are, counter to your opinion, really good. Facebook's whole business depends on presenting posts based on

You realise all stocks are priced based on predicted future earnings right?

You would use different metrics. It costs nothing to make the post so you can just pump them out, you don't need to use impressions as a metric anymore because you're not paying for impressions. Instead you get good at curating ti

"Organic" advertising though, the current big thing. It's the word-of-mouth from internet strangers. Supposedly converts better.

Hard to copy??? It's 30 second videos. They don't have any amount of machine learning or tech that FB doesn't, and in this case we're just talking about user recommendations, which FB is the absolute master of (perhaps o

Don't be so condescending. It's a measure of solvency and they don't drop it to junk just for fun.

For a company not at significant financial risk why is their credit rating so low? Investors shouldn't be concerned about repayment if Tesla is likely to remain solvent.

Tesla bonds are rated deeeep into junk. Comparatively Toyota is high in the investment grade as are VW's. Having junk long term bonds is not great, having junk short term ones is downright scary. This is even worse considering it'

How?? You can service your own car unless you're looking at something ridiculous like a Bugatti or Mclaren. You can modify them to any legal extent.

Yeah so if I want to give up a lot of personal information, then give up my time appearing in court, and have the guilty party know who I am, then yes, there is a way to report it. But if I don't want that massive impact on my life jus

What's ridiculous is you can't turn in any footage you take yourself. As a cyclist with a camera on my bicycle I have hundreds of drivers on their phone, yet the police has nowhere for me to turn this in.

You can't use the pricing as evidence it's necessary. It's possible it's both unnecessary and overpriced. All that matters is TI deems it to be a profitable price-point. They might be selling to mostly misinformed or con
