The elite charter schools in my state just game the system. They enroll a large number of students at an early age, and weed the low performing students out through attrition. Then, they don’t replace those students. Each grade gets smaller

The Model 3 is a nice car, on the order of a Honda Accord nice. But, copy the performance of a Model 3, and wrap it in a BMW 3 series, and I’d take that all day, every day. So, what’s the barrier to other manufacturers making a competitive

Conceptually, I understand that’s the path, however, practically speaking, shorts have expiration dates, which haven’t been kind to Tesla shorts. How do I counter my S&P 500 investments over exposure to Tesla?

What fraction of houses in California are really exposed to wildfire loss? Primarily those outside of the major cities. Inside the cities? 1% of LA? And even in the worst fire season, how many of those houses are lost? 100? What percentage

My kids get a weekly allowance, however, they’re not allowed to spend it on in-game transactions. Once a year, on Christmas, they get $40 they are allowed to spend on digital rewards - Fortnite vbucks are their typical choice. I see the man

The base Polymer 80 frame, which is normally the serialized component, was approved by the ATF. The rest of the components sold in the “Buy Build Shoot Kits”, don’t require a background check. I don’t understand how selling the components t

Seems like jobs boards in the US which imply a preference or prejudice based upon race, color, religion, sex or national origin would be a Title VII violation and subject any employee advertising on such boards to sanctions. Yet you’ll find

I completely agree with canceling student debt, after the student serves a tour on the armed services. What a great policy that would be... https://myarmybenefits.us.army.mil/Benefit-Library/Federal-B...

You do understand that if someone declares bankruptcy, you as a lender, would get $0. A newly minted graduate, now saddled with $100k in debt to you... why wouldn’t they declare bankruptcy immediately? Your willingness to lend either implie

Without loans, the ability to climb to another economic tier exists only for those able to work hard, get academic scholarships, plan efficiently, study hard. Discharging student loans in bankruptcy, will make it so that nobody will lend to

Is the learning curve going to progress that quickly? The Tesla Model S came out in 2012? How much has it improved by 2020? 100kW instead of 75kW? At the same price? Yes, I know soothsayers claim battery packs are $100/kwh, but even at

My ex-sister-in-law has the worst RBF. Didn’t like her when I met her. 7 years later, still don’t. Maybe it’s not just the face.

Too bad IBM killed off Netezza. If the cloud vendors started offering this widely, it would have given them another round of relevance.

I’m sure a coyote can survive in Times Square. Make it illegal to shoot a wolf, and they’ll do fine in Times Square too.

I agree. Reintroduce them to Times Square. Until then, why should rural residents have to fear for their children’s and pet’s safety?

Until Elon is willing to let X Æ A -12 cross the freeway in front of a bunch of Tesla’s driven on autopilot by drunk frat boys, no driving system should be considered “safe”.

Would Google be happy if one of their employee made a statement which triggered a Title VII civil rights lawsuit? Is support of BLM a political statement or one based on race? If it’s a political statement, then opposing it, isn’t a potenti
