Pretty much all of these have former legacy company teams working for them.

PE Ratio is one of the dumbest most irrelevant ways to measure company. At one point Tesla had no PE, then it was 10k and one quarter later it was 1k. Evaluating growth companies with PE is idiotic.

100k car is better then 40k in a few metrics. Wow what an achievement. Model 3 Performance can keep up with 120K+ Tycan. And Model S leaves a Taycan behind it like a the Taycan was a Ford Focus. > particularly considering there are some

Tesla is very different from other car companies. - Tesla owns a large global infrastructure for charging that they produce themselves. And produce a lot of home and destination charges as well. - Tesla has a very large expanding internal b

Banks give practically cash loans against your stock. And the idea that the stock price of those companies would collapse if he sold a few million is frankly idiotic.

Those numbers are by 2050 and assume a single type of cell do do it all. It assumes no increase in energy density. And worst of all it doesn't account for recycling. Lithium exists in huge amounts and projects are underway all over the

Yes and SA, Qatar give help to tons of groups that threaten to US (so does the US) and Turkey helped out ISIS and yet they are allies. Apparently those things are not prerequisites to do lobbying. Or SA enacting basically a genocide in Yeme

The whole point of this kind of voting is that you would have to relay on primaries. You can just put up 2 or 5 candidates per party without hurting the parties chances of winning. This is the whole point of such voting systems.

Let me give a little more context. Saudi Arabia had a relationship with the US early on and it was US contractors who developed the oil there initially. This is a very old relationship, basically it is the bases of Saudi Arabia, the realize

Saudi Arabia was literally never unstable, the idea that it is US relationship that is preventing Saudi Arabia from collapsing is very questionable.

I don't have data at hand as I have not researched this topic in a long time, but from everything we know, people tend to not do only min or max. From everything we know, the majority of people don't vote purely strategically, spe

Because the ARM core still has a large market and not every application need the maximum performance so having competition in that market is not good. And you are not 'supposed to' care. You can care if you want, and ignore it if

There are multiple vendors now selling RISC-V products that compete with ARM-A as well. Its not as far alone as the lower end but it defiantly happening as well.

In RCV your first point is not actually true. Its better then First Pass the Post (like literally anything else). Score based voting actually does have the effect you want.

Ranked Choice Voting is not really a good idea. It has very strange unintuitive behavior. Doing Score based voting is just much better and arguably simpler and less work. I specially like the Star-Voting, where they do a runoff at the end

RISC-V Vector is a form of SIMD. So this is a simple(ish) processor but you can lots of calculation because of the SIMD. Yes, it is used in embedded context, processing of input from sensor for example. Local machine learning is all the hyp

People have been claiming the same thing about SpaceX and Tesla for 20+ years now doesn't seem to stop them. Having a small sample size theater about people you personally know isn't really representative.

HD 3D maps need to be way more accurate and be enriched with massive amounts of detail. Like where lights are, what lights are relevant for what lanes and so on. You can't just pull out your street view footage from 3 years ago.

Radar is the technology that is actually shipping in millions of cars. Lidar is future tech that is not practically to deploy in millions of cars as of now. There is absolutely 0 chance they could just 'put in lidar' from now on s

The list of triggers contains things like 'motorcycles at night', so it seems its all in that dataset.
