   Then we should legalize it so that teen usage will drop. Because IIRC that's the result from the history of societies doing that.

   Precisely. Ron Paul (R) and Barney Frank (D) introduced a legalization bill in 2011 which didn't get anywhere. https://www.thestreet.com/story/12789013/1/ron-paul-barney-f...

   Are you talking about the legalization of alcohol in 1933? The number seems low.

   Fixed the link. I just think with all the conspiracy theories out there (which I'm also skeptical about) it is kind of amusing.

   Their UI is also a mess. So they'll fit right in at Atlassian.

   You forgot to post how many funds long Tesla also have Bloomberg terminals. Or are we just doing anecdotes? The plural of anecdote is not data.

    It also says Facebook's market cap is $500 billion. It is now ~$383 billion. Although it lists Google market cap at $690 billion. It's currently $728 billion and that's after a bit of a haircut recently with the overall marke

    Shrug. Most regions have natural disasters. Floods and hurricanes seem just as bad if not more. Tornadoes are no cup of tea either. And most Orange County metros probably have less fire risk due to the geography of that area.

    I think if you figured out a way to compare Cleveland to SF while factoring in cost of living, or just real estate, Cleveland would do pretty well in a showdown. SF is picked on because people pay such a premium to live there (including emp

    The weather will always help prop up SoCal real estate (relatively).

    That is a fascinating photo. Thanks for posting the link. I find the "decay" of towns like this to be fascinating. Traveling along old Route 66 (especially old diverted sections) is another way to see this sort of "decay&quot

    Yes I would be there more if I could work some of the time. Our family property doesn't even have reliable cell service much less wired Internet.

    I love the U.P. I have been there almost every year of my life, first from Illinois where I was raised, and now I make the trip with my kids from California. I love the forests, the lakes, and the rivers, and I try to let my kids experience

    You mentioned the $35k Model 3, which I think is the worst since so many deposits were collected on this promise. This spring it will be 3 years since those deposits were collected, including mine (since refunded at about the 2-year anniver

    For starters, other vehicles don't get backed up behind you.

    Agreed not necessary in the demo, but should acknowledge this in the cost information.

    And it's best not to think about what happens if a car stops for any reason, or worse, catches fire. I do not believe any escape hatches were part of the demo and cost calculations.

    Some journalists have become openly cynical about Musk, probably now that so many promises have failed to materialize.

    Twitter thread on the physics to go 150mph in this tunnel: https://twitter.com/Model_4_/status/1075270290978963458?s=19 Note that air resistance is a much bigger problem in a cheap, narrow tunnel.

    I suppose I cannot argue with that. Many different slow things probably have this same root cause.

    I would like to see more than two lanes on the 405-101 interchange lanes, and dedicated carpool lanes for this interchange plus 405-10.

    Ah, does China go through the courts for every segment, taking months or years (including determining fair value for compensation)? Dodger Stadium was built by razing a poor but cultural neighborhood and it is now considered to have been un

    What route should the train take from Ventura to Bakersfield? And how will it affect the travel times required by law?

    The tunnel initial capacity will be 1400 people per day and maybe 2800 later. This is 3% of average game attendance. https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-dodger-stadium-...

    Musk says a lot of things. He is really amazing at getting press attention for himself. Ask Buffalo how Musk promises regarding the solar roof factory have gone so far...

    AOL was Goto's biggest customer. Later renamed Overture Services. That was well before 2004. Goto/Overture owned the patent on search advertising, which Google eventually settled legal proceedings regarding. And this is how Yahoo,
