If there is not sufficient USD to back them then its fraud. People purchased these securities relying on the representations they made about it being backed by USD.

Minority and even non-voting shareholders still have rights, the majority cannot arbitrarily deprive them of the benefits of ownership. The legal doctrine is "shareholder oppression". If Zuckerberg really did pay more than he had

The model 3 price is $13,500 just for parts which still fits with the theme of the story. Arguing over invoices is just a diversion from the real issue of repairability. Everyone agrees replacing the battery is crazy expensive - especially

Again comparing with the median wage is more appropriate if that is your goal. GDP does not have a direct connection to what the average person earns - much of the GDP gains over the last 30 years have gone to the rich.

Why would you adjust the price by the GDP? When people ask if a product costs more in a different country they don’t mean relative to the countries industrial output. Median income might be a better ratio for this but GDP makes little sens

Autopilot is the only way I can feel safe operating the touch screen. When I want to focus on the road I still have to watch the screen to see when to wiggle the wheel - so you always need an eye on the screen no matter what’s going.

Around that time there were a ton of battery recalls for phones nowhere near the end of their life - mine was one. I think they just got a bad batch of batteries or were too aggressive cost optimizing and this was the fix. 5&6 era iPhon

The “explosions” you hear from car fires are almost always first the tires popping, and later the airbags going off. I watched a car fire near me last year and the firefighters didn’t even flinch when the loud bangs happened.

There's no steak or beef emoji for one. I think a lot more people eat that than do Sushi (although I do love sushi). Edit: there’s no steak on that page but my phone has it… I stand corrected

I noticed higher end brands start to do this about 10 years ago. It’s really weird in my opinion.

Cars have been in the small incremental improvement camp for decades which is why they’re not considered tech. Tesla is the outlier because they are pushing a revolutionary change not just incremental ICE improvements and are valued as suc

I'm surprised that forgiven debt isn't considered income. It would be in the US, but then in the US the debt would still be owned by the estate and is still collectable.

Are we then saying the loser is the institutional traders? The money does not come from thin air.

by jdsully 5y ago
If that were true the market makers would be losing money buying the order flow, and this conversation would be moot. But instead these firms are quite profitable doing this. It’s a zero sum game so the money must come from somewhere.

Usually the burst time is proportional to the bus transfer rate divided by the cell access time. It's designed to maximize random access while ensuring you can fully utilize the bandwidth on the memory bus. So you can keep issuing se

It will probably be only a few percent improvement in individual cell access time. Pretty much all RAM performance improvements have been in expanding parallelization which only improves burst access. They should think about scatter/g

1.5v in an capacitor that small is pretty impressive assuming it’s over a microfarad. But yes I agree we don’t have enough information to know.

Where police bribes are common they are usually for things like speeding tickets. Getting out of major charges with a bribe is pretty far down the corruption rabbit hole.

I thought in NY the corruption was done via "donations" and association with the "Patrolmen's Benevolent Association". They give out cards specifically for this purpose. From the wording in this article they are pr

A major factor why I chose a Tesla over the Mach-e was the charging network. I really hate the interiors of the Tesla, but being stuck without a charge is much worse.

I think the bigger picture here is that electrics are just becoming "cars". They aren't buying it because its electric, but because of the specifics of the car itself (styling, performance, etc). Because of that another elec

You can't compare balls on the BGA package to signal pins. The vast majority of these are for power and ground. LPDDR4 actually has fewer data lines than DDR4.

If your company is "taking off" its much more valuable as a going concern - unless its just a fraud.
