It is not surprising for the reason you cite, but it is still interesting to see it actually measured. Android dominate iOS by a huge margin, and I think it is ahead even in the high end segment. You can understand that people going for hig

I guess the point was that dealer are notoriously bad. Tesla decide to bypass them in order to put in place a better system. Simply providing a similar service or very marginally better, is a big failure of model. If we are having a bad mea

People living in densely populated area should be the prime target for zero emission cars. And that is a problem cities can solve. There is no problem to hook a few power plug on the street ( eg: BMW had a strategy for cheap, small chargin

What the article misses is families. The same reason cable package have stayed around a lot longer than expected are families. Sure the majority of vehicle miles are commuting to work, 1 person commuting to work, generally in the city. But

Another point to that, is that the default assumption, even for a Tesla is that you can charge it at home during the night. For people living in a flat with car on the street, that means going to a charging station on a regular basis for a

Well it also assume the social circle is fixed. There are plenty of people doing activities all the days of the week. I worked part-time for a few months. I took a hobby and found that I could attend cheap course on the Wednesday afternoon

Worse than that - if just the foundations are bad, you may have to start the house over. Even if the house is fine but you get the wrong type of mushroom in the wall of 1 room, the house will have to be rebuild. Strange analogy by GP, you h

It is a way to measure if something is really expensive. Another way to look at it is that $90 is about a regular night out. The choice is between investing 1 evening of your time to save for 1 night out later, or instead invest nothing but

Sometimes, like in the UK, the agency is used to avoid getting caught by employee regulation or IR35. When caught, the client is considered the employer of the contractor and the contractor an employee. That has costly consequences on both,

That would mean that the State is actually making some deep analysis. The level of analysis here is very very shallow: a set of registration numbers jotted down by a police officer on a parking lot 5 months before. The rest, which is alread

What I don't understand with software patent and business process is that we have basically given up the "non-obvious to people of the trade" requirement. You only need to see once, the "slide left to right to unlock&quo

Does not appear to be the case in London. I know indirectly people working in Google around here and they are on the low side of banking salaries. Getting $250K is certainly doable in bank, but it does not follow a specific career plan. I h

There is a natural trend to have less children and have them later, but that's not the whole story. Urbanisation means that jobs move into the city, so that's where the worker go, but that also the most expensive places to live. O

The most likely outcome is retiring early, but that really only applies to young people making significantly better than average salaries in order to do it quick, before having kids. If you have spent 40+ years saving every penny, you don&#

'Voting with their wallet' is actually an expression used to remind people that what they actually buy is what is affecting the market, not what they say or what they wish. What I'm actually saying is that if you need to ente

That's not the direction it is taking. It will be more like 1 highly paid developer doing everything himself. When I started working, it took a team of testers, a team of dba, and a team of sysops in addition of the developers to build
