Because they're incredibly slow and you'd need a giant facility to accommodate what even a tiny 4 pump gas station currently does? I live in Seattle and there are tons of Teslas, but the nearest Supercharger is way out in the su

Tesla builds cars by relying on very complex financing. Financing is critical to Tesla existing for the long term.

> I don't care for oysters. I'm not sure that means I should spend time studying how to eat them better, there are plenty of things I do like. Oysters aren't an unavoidable part of life?

It's not about having a party-rating, it's about having a better time at social events. If you don't like social events then that is an even better reason to want to be "better" at them.

People have been awkward at parties since there were three or more people gathering in a social setting.

It's a triple occupancy dorm. You could definitely do that in Seattle/SF/NYC considering it's a single room with no kitchen or bathroom shared by 3 people (other than the fact that I think it would be illegal to rent out

What do you consider equal weighting? Amazon is the second most highly valued public company in the world, should it be counted the same in the index as Fossil Group (one of the smallest S&P 500 companies with a market cap of $1.15b)? T

That's simply because they are some of the biggest companies in the world. It's really the other way around, big tech is dragging the indexes up, not the indexes dragging up big tech.

React is already used for tons of apps, some of those apps need to display maps and it makes perfect sense to use something in your existing framework.

I downvoted because you can't see this situation through anything but your own lens and decided to victim blame. It's great that you didn't get addicted, but it's awful that you're saying it takes two to tango.

He was the chairman, not a day to day guy who would know about such things.

> It cost them a pretty penny to get here but cash is literally pouring in for Tesla right now. And also pouring out, they are losing a massive amount of money every quarter.

Well that and he hasn't been running the company for a while. He stepped down as CEO in 2013. This is very similar to Bill Gates leaving Microsoft (who Ma has actually mentioned as an influence).

> Would it be as useful if it weren't being subsidized? Say 2x the current costs? Yes. Outside of a few markets in the US it was a gamble to get a cab at any price. You'd call and it would be something like "30-45 minutes&

The more concerning part is that they're still losing a fortune while only building out the supposedly high margin top end models.

Who says they aren't? They're already charging $60k for their "mass market" $35k sedan. Update: I guess technically it's $50k, the other day I read the average selling price was $60k and that was stuck in my head. R

Similar to tray tables up, they wake you up before landing. It would be no different than the current lay flat seats. Though I guess it would be an issue if there were no seats at all, but I don't see that ever happening (having to lay

Well then get your cash from a teller because it will not be scanned before it's handed to you.

I would assume it would not be allowed for takeoff/landing (no emergency exits) which would mean no ticketed seats.

On the other hand if you're paying your bills with Venmo you're not in the demographic that buys appliances... If this is actually a valuable thing the winner is Visa/Mastercard, not Venmo. Venmo thinks you had a slice of piz

I guess my point is what adtech firm is going to be interested in a person who pays for electricity? Everyone does that. I pay for water too, but that's not going to help anyone sell me stuff.

No one is forced to do business with Microsoft, this seems like an excellent example of the free market working.

What good does "perfectly labeled transactions" do for Venmo? What do a couple of emoji so they know you're paying for electricity do differently than the memo field on a check did decades ago?

There is a non Lego support structure (I mean it makes sense, it has real Chiron wheels/tires!). Still quite impressive though.

And tech nerds do dumb stuff all the time too like wanting to nerotically "finish" a timeline of tweets. I think it makes tons of sense that Twitter wants to show its best content to more people than whoever happens to be on the t

Well the times allows anyone to buy it, it doesn't specifically block certain people from reading. This isn't a big issue, every other CEO other than Elon Musk has no problem controlling his/her tweets to not contain market m
