I moved from the Dallas area to the Seattle area and I've had AC everywhere I've lived (except the first place). Sure I've had to install it in one case, but it's not that expensive compared to the benefit if you're used to AC. Also, I thi

I think this is pretty much correct, but Tesla only has to carve out a niche in each market it enters to be successful. They will enter a high volume market soon. Also, the EV feature comes with side benefits of decreased weight and size.

I am generally in favor of transparency. In this case I am definitely in favor of more high level transparency about wages. But when it gets to the specific data about one person and their coworkers it gets more difficult due to various c

Also without seeing more of the detail of the analysis there are perfectly reasonable cases for this, e.g. A company with 1 employee (the CEO) has a profit of $1,000,000. This company pays corporate income tax on the profits. The next year

"most of programming isn't great. It's nasty, it's boring..." I get what you are saying, but I don't agree. When I am working on code that I know a bunch of people will use and enjoy, I don't really find the edge cases or testing nasty or b
