I think the difference is that these problems are magnified in the press but are still rather rare. It is first hand experience that breaks the pavlovian cycle. Americans started buying Japanese cars because so many of them had direct poor

I agree it is one word but I think it is a different word: money. Open offices are cheaper.

Property and sales taxes are also high. I think one major problem is the number of government bodies with taxing authority: https://www.illinoispolicy.org/reports/too-much-government-i... Essentially, Illinois has a lo

Chicago and Illinois in general are in rough financial shape. Taxes are very high with no end to raises in sight.

How many hours have you logged on an Apple touchpad in the past 5 years or so? What you say is technically correct, but you can enable all those things and Synaptics still is miles behind Apple in accuracy, comfort, additional possible gest

Ruby supports braces, they just aren't used as often. I prefer begin/end so this is a feature to me.

Correct. Not on any hybrid, even the 2018, no matter what trim.

The problem is the OS. Apple hasn't entirely screwed up macOS yet (give them time). It is still better than Windows and Linux in my opinion. The hardware decline brings them closer to even with other laptops, all things considered, but

Odd. I drove in a Tesla and the owner showed off the Autopilot by having the car stay in a city street lane and have the car stop itself as the car in front of it stopped at a red light. When the car in front continued on, so did the Tesla.

Yes. Chrysler has made some very puzzling choices with the hybrid. Like no memory seats. On a $40k+ car. My wife is over a foot shorter than me so that's really weird. Maybe we shouldn't weight that feature so highly but it has ve

Obviously Tesla is doing _something_ about this because what is the Gigafactory if not a major part of the supply chain?

Your article only accounts for about 7.9 million new shares from the secondary offering, but many more have been issued. It's primarily from equity grants. Even your article says Musk tacked on his stock option exercise as part of the

Hmm, good point. I agree with you about patient incremental gain. I wish my boss and other leaders did. Maybe I also work for an Elon Musk, come to think of it. And yet, I'm still not sure my boss and others don't _understand_ lea

I compared Tesla Model 3 to Bolt and Leaf. 7-series and 5-series are simply too expensive. If BMW can get it in the 3-series at a Tesla Model 3 price, things will get interesting.

Here we agree. I come across as a Tesla fanboy in these comments but I think Tesla's valuation is crazy high, too high, and I still think there's a chance they fail completely like so many other auto companies (a tough business).

I really find it hard to believe they don't understand the TPS. Sure. Maybe. I don't know. It seems more likely to me their "goal" (pun intended for those readers of "The Goal") is the TPS but their particular

Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is in Honda (and lots of other cars). Toyota is currently in a state of rejecting these integrations, which I think is foolish.

What makes you think Tesla doesn't fundamentally grasp it? This anecdote? The plural of anecdote is not data. Your wikipedia link on the Toyota Production System says it was developed between 1948 and 1975. So it look 27 years to devel

The author is only comparing production ability and basic mechanical stats with the Bolt and Leaf. I am on the Model 3 waiting list for the Autopilot. Heck, it could be gas powered and I'd be on the waiting list for the Autopilot. I do
