Can you name any small arms manufacturer who has introduced a successful, innovative design in the past 50 years? The design space seems pretty well explored at this point.

There’s no formula to spit out a handy chart for that. Center of the screen should be eye level for an adult sitting on your couch, ballpark 3’/1m for most setups.

Do those vehicles have the same steering rack as a normal street car? I was under the impression the wheels go less than 360 degrees from lock to lock so hand over hand isn't a concern.

prop13 growth is capped below inflation. It also has the effect of causing funding shortfalls which have had the direct result of things like California's public schools being ranked 37/50, deteriorating public works, etc. The sin

The same talent will be hired, they'll just be paid far less if they aren't in a HCOL area because they can be. Businesses don't want to pay more money than they have to and are ultimately in a much, much better position to p

California is a may issue state, the sheriff's office can decline to issue a permit for any reason. Soliciting the bribe is illegal for other reasons, but failing to issue the permit is not a rights violation under California law.

I'm not an economist but it has always seemed to me that Veblen goods are actually selling status and prestige. Flooding the market with product devalues the associated status which is what causes the price to drop.

Good on you for getting healthy but I feel compelled to point out that if you had 50 lbs to lose (without becoming severely underweight) you were pretty much by definition not "slightly" overweight.

I would be willing to bet that less than 1% of adobe users were still using cs2 or 3. Anyone doing it for a living isn't going to blink at the subscription price (if they even had to pay for it personally).

There are 7 billion people on the planet. Even if only 0.001% are capable of working on VMWare, that's still nearly 100,000 people. High salary Silicon Valley engineers are not nearly as special or unique as some think they are.

I believe California does, but the scale of the problem is completely different compared to a sate like Florida. California has 2.5x as much land as Florida and a significantly higher percentage of the total land is wilderness or otherwise

What I meant is Tesla has an easy out until the first cars they sold the FSD update reach the end of their service life. Shitty for the early adopters yes, but not definitively false advertising yet.

by kec 6y ago
Tesla has only been promising "FSD" on cars sold after 2016. The service life for most vehicles is on the order of about 10 years or so, meaning I don't think you'll see serious pressure for a class action until the mid
