O yeah, his tours of that museum are really great. The original Fisher Price player worked exactly the same as the one they show in that video with a little gear that coupled the records to the comb.

They can’t possibly believe this stuff. They have a financial interest in keeping prices high. That is the simplest explanation.

"SALT is a direct handout to wealthy homeowners." The SALT deduction benefits people in high tax states which happen to also be states where democrats hold political power. Many of them ran on restoring the SALT deduction. It be

It’s almost certainly because the tweet caused a bunch of people to call their elected representatives and exert political pressure. A couple dock workers aren’t going to be able to drum up that kind of publicity.

I'm not sure banning is the answer. I think a better solution in general would be for officials to have to report all trades in real time.

"So this will complicate the Tesla fast battery swap stations if they ever actually build any of those." They aren't planning do battery swapping. None of their recent designs have any provisions for it. That was something

My assumption is the ugly design of early electric cars was intentional to make sure they didn’t sell too well. Tesla broke that cartel and showed the reason those early cars didn’t have universal appeal is because they were horrible vehic

I think it is a moot point because there are 5 position constellations now days (US, EU, China, Russia, Japan) and many popular consumer chipsets can use multiple if not all of them.

Can you cite any study that shows that educational outcomes are positively correlated with spending even after adjusting for disabilities?

by pmorici 5y ago
This isn't true at all. Some of the worst school districts in the country spend the most on a per student basis. Spending is not correlated with educational outcomes. Baltimore City for example spends like 18k per student and has ve

The Tesla super charger network does 250 kw on the newest stations and they said they will roll out 300. Why would anyone want to limit their charge speed and have a bulkier plug doesn’t make sense I would guess long term us will adopt Tes

Interesting looks like they changed pricing. 6 months ago the Tesla Model 3 SR+ was $38,500 and the Bolt was $37,495. In any case the point stands the pricing you are seeing is the result of supply and demand dynamics not a decision by Che
