I think you're being a bit too sensitive. I agree with you - building a whole new production line, and Tesla's share holders understand that too. This is just more information for those shareholders. It's important that there

These chips are 5W TDP and around that area. The most powerful Intel CPUs in the Macbooks are 45W. So unless you're suggesting that ARM Is making CPUs that are literally 10x more power efficient, this actually seems to rule that out. T

I think this is great news. Essentially the message this is sending is that we're now safe from 2 things: We're safe from one record label attaining a controlling share in spotify and using it for vertical integration. We're

What purpose does it serve. Any investor looking to invest in WMG isn't going to do so because they own some spotify. If someone wants to invest in Spotify they will go buy some spotify stock. It doesn't serve investors to have s

It doesn't seem quite like a margin call. The exchange explains here[1]. What appears to have happened is that a client bought a tonne of futures with huge leverage. The exchange noticed and asked the client to reduce the position- bec

No it isn't. There are already standards in electronics for Functional safety and these chips will have to abide by them. Part of that is that there'll be fail-safe chips that are fully ASIL-D compliant, and the full system will b

Yeah, the comparison in the article with Facebook looks like trash. Tencent peaked in January, bumbled around a lot and slumped back down to Nov 2017 levels. Facebook meanwhile lost every penny of its value in the last week, but is still as

In European markets there is literally no overlap between Uber Eats and Uber. Uber drivers are driving Toyotas, Uber eats drivers are riding mopeds and bicycles. You can't just switch from one to the other.
