I bought a tesla about a year ago. I only had to wait a week for it. 0 down and something like 2% APR. I feel like I really lucked out there

I think it's 1 in 70 who've tried it, not 1 in 7. While 1/70 is still substantial; ~1.3%, way less concerning than ~14% of the population

with that logic, what's the threshold for forcing them to spend down their wealth? 1 billion, half a billion, 1 million, 1 hundred thousand? If the government takes it, what are they going to spend it on? Foreign wars, jails, lavish ma

yeah, outside of a tech job people still heavily rely on phone calls to get their jobs done. Sales, HR, field services, etc all call people directly since a text message could be missed for hours. And a lot of stuff is still based on legacy

So somebody like her would have a very valid excuse to vote my mail (and could send it via FedEx or ups), but an able bodied person should walk to the polling place, show their ID, and vote. You get 4 hours off by law to vote

don't forget how the biden administration is kneecapping domestic oil production because of politics

not really. Everything they offer, private industry offers a better version of. Who sends letters? Email is way faster and cheaper Sending a package? Amazon, ups, or fedex Need a passport? USPS shouldn't handle this, since they're

what are the logistics for this? There were 263.6 million cars in the US in 2015 (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_vehicles_in_the_Unit... ), so I'm sure there's even more today. I could see hav

i made this argument a few weeks ago on HN, and was promptly downvoted by anti self driving shills. I knew a girl (in the sf bay area) who hated self driving cars. She said people should just learn to drive better. While at the same time, y

I've heard that humans are evolving to become more dumb. The idea is that it's easier for an idiot to survive and procreate than it was in the past

There's R&D, and then there's the actual manufacturing. Sure, prices go down after a while, but you can track costs accordingly. If you know (because you have blue prints) that the materials will cost 1,000,000 to build the pl

I'm talking about the x-ray, nothing more and nothing less. If they have a broken foot and need a cast, the cast should be an estimatable line item based on where it's broken, age/gender/size of the patient, and material

You could say the same about any other service work. If I have the internet guy come out there's probably 50 admin job positions that bill for that time too. Internally they bill the installation department. Hospitals are just complain

by satronaut 5y ago
You're in charge of literally saving lives but you can't handle something as standard as cost estimation? How can you joke about that? Figuring out the cost to the hospital in terms of materials and labor should be standard. Examp

Where's your source for that? Is there a metric to define a ransomware attack as "major", and a verifiable list to show the amount and means of payment? Bitcoin is used daily for remittance payments, which is huge since it&#x

do you have a metric for what is reliable and unbiased? Any time I see an article on Bitcoin or altcoins on a MSM page its factually incorrect and heavily biased. Also, can you provide an article showing that Bitcoin is used for "tons&
