December numbers will be available in a couple of weeks, and then we'll know for sure. Model 3 numbers have ramped up in December. In 2018, unless Tesla has serious unfixable production problems, it won't be close. I don't

https://insideevs.com/monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard/ says Tesla 40812, GM 38699. That's with only 712 Model 3s sold. If the 3 ramps at all, it will not be close. Edit: GM 38699. I initially missed the 179 CT6

The safety benefit is from the automated emergency braking system, which Tesla has coupled with the Autopilot package. It's not from Autopilot itself.

I was talking about the issue of the rose-colored view of America in the middle of the twentieth century. My point was that even if America in 1960 really was better than America in 2017 for uneducated white working-class men, that's

I married a woman who definitely filtered based on earning ability. Not in terms of "must be a millionaire" but in terms of "must have some evidence that he will be able to hold down a steady job." I'm pretty sure

As someone who's always been employed, this confuses me. How do the permanently unemployed afford video games and drugs, in addition to rent and food? Sponge off their parents? Their partner? The state? I'd love to see a real

That is beautiful, but I need more data. 1. Do project managers, product managers, etc. count, or only real managers with teams reporting to them? 2. Do urinals count, or only real sit-down toilets?

The word "reputable" does not match the rest of your post.

A Tesla can do 150 miles without needing to charge at all.

I live 11 miles from work. I live in a hot state. I bike to work. I take a shower when I get there. It's not a problem. I know not every office has a shower, but many do. And requiring the others to have one would be a pretty smal

That tenure report looks pretty useless. You can't tell how much of it is not hiring, and how much is people leaving. Any metric where Kodak is #1 is probably not a metric that indicates good places to work.

Looks like both cars have a stop sign, and this one got there first.

I put swimming lessons in a different category than other activities, because being able to swim can save you from drowning. (Whether 2 is the right age for your kid, I don't know. But I'd like to see all kids get them at some p

They're not tens of watts. More like 3W. See http://www.nabendynamo.de/produkte/son_28_en.html If it's not enough to bother a human cyclist, it's not enough to bother a horse.

You need a rear brake for two reasons. One is redundancy: if the front brake fails, you want another option, even if it's not quite as good. The other is spreading the braking heat over twice as much surface area on long fast descent

I've seen the combination of a coaster brake and a front brake on some kids' bikes. I believe the thinking is that a coaster brake is friendly to novices, those with weak hands, and those who knock their front brake out of adjust

I don't see anything particularly rude about this statement. I think you're overreacting to something that isn't there.

Anecdote: My current employer, which has employees in many locations, pays the same position differently by location. HR told me that Silicon Valley and Manhattan are both above Seattle, and that the DC area is at the same level as Seattle

Sure, I've done it. But you're competing with a lot of people, so you'd better stand out. In this case, it wasn't that the company wanted to pay me less for the same job because I was remote, rather than in SF. (Though

I've gotten two solid leads leading to interviews through "Who's Hiring" posts, but didn't end up taking either job. Company 1 wanted me for a remote position, but wanted to pay me about half my market rate. This i
