Facts are things like CO2 levels are rising, ocean temperatures are rising, etc. What will happen as a result of those changes and how it will impact us are models. The application of those models fed by assumptions for the trends/chan

I do think he's being stubborn and some of the stuff (like keeping the BMI problem when there's so many problems that are exactly the same) I think he was doing just as a middle finger. I was an RA years ago when this stuff was be

I think he had the wrong reaction, I think he could have implemented some of the more reasonable suggestions easily, but some of that stuff is really nuts. "The addition of an indigenous land acknowledgement to the syllabus." I wo

I have enterprise windows on a domain joined machine and literally gigabytes of data are devoted to shadow versions of games. Does anyone have a solution for this? Why is this happening on Enterprise? https://imgur.com/PsFyS

They're subsidizing risk in a cumulative manner. When you hold things on your books you're subject to overnight risk (i.e. a big move can happen when there is no liquidity to move something because markets are closed). This can be

Surprised terpenes aren't mentioned in article -- when heated too hot they can degrade into benzene. Seems like they are targeted for something to extract not remove (although I know nothing about cannabis - only industrial contaminant

If it's connected via HDMI you can actually do that. There's a package called ddccontrol. For example, here is my code to toggle my 4th monitor between hdmi and displayport (hooked up to desktop or hooked up to a client laptop - t

On due diligence projects one of my temperature taking questions for AWS is "are you using services besides EC2 and S3?". Of course we'll dig into things, but it does give me a good idea of what that part of the DD engagement

Part of my problem here is that PG&E has had rate hikes rejected by the government. When you back out the insanely profitable natural gas from their financials, their margins don't seem that great on the electrical side (if they ar

They left out basically every expense from that number (they noted it was unclear if labor was even included in that number), and did construction in a single city with a fawning council (legal expenses are massive on infrastructure project

And people are constantly asking for things that are already laws - we need to actually enforce our laws so that bad ones can be removed also in my opinion.

I think it's just hard to compare between the generations due to changes in how lifestyles are financed. My parents came out of school with no debt and were able to buy a house way before me. I came out of school with considerable debt

Legally they just gave him permission (power of attorney? I think) to trade on their behalf (and create a margin account with a third party on their behalf), they didn't give him money to trade.

The victim complex with this company and the Musk fans is ridiculous. The company was a financial dumpster fire losing exectives at an alarming rate (they had their Chief Accounting Officer leave after 29 days this quarter). It's just

I opened my first actual short position that day (instead of just buying puts). He literally set an upper limit on how much money you could lose and I just felt really confident he was full of crap. Got out of the position at a bit under $3

I think you're right if you look at things from a statistical perspective but I don't think it's going to end up actually working out like that. A person can explain "why" they did something when an accident happens

> Model x and a have 25% profit margins Part of the short thesis is that they are hiding warranty repairs in "Services and Other" - underreserving for warranty would make those margins artificially high. They reserve $3000&#x2F

That's definitely not true -- They have a $230m Solarcity bond due Nov 2018 and then another $566m inherited Solarcity bond due Nov 2019. What was paid back were "Solar bonds", which were not SolarCity bonds. I can see why yo

Musk borrows against his Tesla shares to fund his investments into SpaceX and SpaceX owns Tesla bonds. The two are pretty significantly linked financially. If Tesla has issues with paying back bonds, it would probably impact SpaceX. Additio

The only reason this is even a thing is because Musk's fans are involved. Every other launch on all of wikipedia is a "Success", "Partial Failure" or "Failure" - regardless of who is at fault. Only SpaceX
