Counterargument: not Tesla's fault that the other offerings suck in comparison. Another consideration: if it was GM or Ford that was up against that 200k limit, you think their lobbyists couldn't wrangle a similar deal?

Ugh. That is sickening. Since it seems like you have some expertise in the area, is this antipattern actually codified In regulations, or more of a de-facto/status quo thing?

I learned from http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DHCP/x369.html#DHCPSERVER when I got tired of auto-managing IP addresses -- the basic setup is not terrible. If you're using something else for DHCP assignment (e.g. PfSen

Different risks: using up all resources (running out of fossil fuels) vs an instantaneous mistake/disaster (global fallout some some weapon, or an asteroid, or freak solar flare, or something like that). Colonizing another planet prote

One of my grad school classmates spent some time in finance and always used to say something like "your best results are really just bad input data". This has proved a worthy maxim many times over.

I'm a bit jaded on this subject, but even not-profit dollars contribute to revenue dollars, which helps secure future funding. So not "not any part of the tips", just a complicated hedging game on those tips.

Not OP but deeply nonreligous and the idea of a CEO dating subordinates sounds very unprofessional and cheating on a partner sounds generally shitty. (Maybe that's not exactly how it went down, but if we take the "left their wife&

Maybe some variant on "Extract array elements to separate columns"? or did you mean what to name the command line option? Maybe a "--list-treatment=" option, which can be "concat" or "separate"?

My take: include a schema when you can and there's a justification and it's practical. IMO even JSON is a (very limited, "name only, no type") type of schema. If it becomes impractical for something you're doing, st
