You make it seem that the share price of Tesla is determined by rational decisions. If this is the case, it can't be shaken by "stock price is too high imo" tweets by the boss. He launched a rocket on June 1st 2020, and Tesl

Absolutely. Polio for example does not infect the nervous system in most of the cases, but in a few cases every 100 thousand people it does. And this can cause life long paralysis. Much of the fight to eradicate polio is because of this rar

The CPI just lags behind. The signs point towards further price increases in the future. In some segments, we've already seen similar increases recently, or even greater ones, e.g. with GPUs or construction material.

I think the linux marketshare among devs is still increasing, even with WSL available. WSL is in fact one of Microsoft's attempts to lure back developers to their OS, or never make them switch. For some folks, like you, this might actu
