"Better to fail conventionally than succeed unconventionally" - IMO, this often leads for people making decisions that are defensible by comparison to "industry norms".

A lot of buyer's agents fastidiously avoid FSBO properties.

Good points. I totally forgot about the whole home inspection process and how ridiculous it tends to be. Even when they aren't in house, you know it will be someone that the realtor has worked with before. It will certainly catch thing

The problem isn't just realtors, it is that the whole system is designed to maximize transaction costs. Who cares how much the attorney and loan paperwork cost when they are only 1-2%, you are already paying 5-6% to realtors, ~.5-1% in

Is that still the case? I feel like rural markets have really boomed in the last few years. At least I'm seeing that in the southeast. Maybe "flyover country" is different.

If they already have an office, the marginal cost of electricity and internet is not likely to be as high as the employee's home internet cost.

It is shocking how quick people are to blame perceived beneficiaries instead of the people actually pushing for changes.

I'm sure the WFH needs have factored into many home purchases in the past few years. It is a real expense.

I had the same thought. It seems like the improvements there weren't worth talking about. AFAICT, the biggest benefit is just the unified memory model at this point.
851.
by _ea1k 3y ago
That sounds incredible given how powerful the model is.

by _ea1k 3y ago
Yes, I was. There is nothing about NACS that limits things to 250KW.

In that case, shouldn't they just mark the video as 18+ rather than suspending the channel?

It'd be useful for the one in Leeds, AL. The walk is huge and the temps are usually terrible.
855.
by _ea1k 3y ago
This is silly, no Teslas charge at 400 KW, so obviously that doesn't exist. Noone within the industry has expressed concerns in making the NACS connector do 400KW. It already runs at higher amperages than CCS, despite the lower KW.

> Teslas 2019 and earlier will need a CCS retrofit to use all chargers. I prefer to say that only about 75-80% of Teslas on the road are able to use the new NACS chargers without an upgrade. Given the widespread prevalence of supercharge

by _ea1k 3y ago
Hosts don't have to pay for superchargers. That's why they often show up at relatively small, or even mostly unoccupied locations.

by _ea1k 3y ago
Yeah, buc-ees makes for a great charging stop. Just wish the walk from the chargers wasn't quite so long.

Yep, they also recently purchased TravelCenters of America, which was a mismanaged chain of large gas stations with a lot of potential. This combination makes a lot of sense, though they should work on revitalizing some of the brands involv

There must be a term for this sort of situation. Something about coming full circle, but that full circle is inside of a dumpster fire. Also, I love this. This is fine.

TBH, it has always been surprising to me that this wasn't a default feature in Android. It couldn't be that difficult to add. Then again, they want to support small storage sizes, so maybe discouraging the OS from growing too much

FSD does have a merge right rule, but it can be turned off. The sort of person who'd do what you describe sounds like someone that would turn it off too. :facepalm Of course, it could also have been one of the cases where the car just

It also nags much more in certain "dangerous" situations. For example, too many traffic cones nearby or detected emergency vehicles. It has gotten pretty good at that last one, though it often alerts to emergency vehicles on the o

Exactly, there are different regulations that cause them to have less capability and stricter nags in Europe.

True, but doesn't that negate the point of the article? "Lithium is relatively scarce and ..." It sounds like a false premise to me.
866.
by _ea1k 3y ago
I get that, but it is all relative. I'm not seeing any indication that lithium is the most difficult aspect of battery production. It seems like a short term problem compared to graphite, nickel, and (seemingly) cobalt. It seems like t

There are weird lines here in general. The court of public opinion plays a major role in where major advertisers are willing to spend their money, regardless of guilt or proof of guilt. But should we treat platform monetization the same way

by _ea1k 3y ago
It doesn't seem like lithium is actually scarce. Does this help with the more tricky issues developing at the moment? For example, graphite?

I probably use AP >80% of the time on the highway. From observing comments in the local Tesla groups, I'm sure there are plenty of people who behave similarly. Millions of miles per month doesn't surprise me at all.
