Duo screen: 7.6" vs iPad mini: 8.3". Duo will support Apple Pencil later. I wonder if many people with iPhone+iPad combination can now replace it with one device.

I guess annual income also hints at annual expenses which should be important for the study. There are people who constantly spend all they make, and probably score low on self assessed happiness. Also income != wage, can be passive. I thin

I think that Model M (Unicomp/Lexmark) was a cost cut for Model F. Just recently, a company resurrected true Model F: https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/

I’m hearing that Lexmark/Unicomp keyboards were/are a cost cutting project compared to original Model F. Interestingly there is a company that resurrected true, pre cost cutting, model F: https://www.modelfkeyboards.com

For the record, Vanguard also has significant interest in the success of all Tesla competitors that are part of the index. Did Vanguard officially stated that they have "significant amount of trust in Musk"? They are not Cathy Woo

I guess the point here is that a huge percentage (7% just for Vanguard) of votes was not decided by the actual share holders. These shares are passively invested because Tesla is included in indexes like S&P 500. So the decision on the
