>Tesla suck around and made electric cars cool and economically viable while the industry had it's backs turned This isn't really accurate. Nissan and GM both had electric cars 20 years ago. And Tesla loses billions of dollars

Plus you have to look at the total operating cost. Electric cars need basically no maintenance while ICEs you have oil changes and brake changes plus a more complicated engine.

This is a rare case where the insurance company is entirely blameless. According to the article, they paid much more than what experts say is reasonable for the care provided.

You pick back and forth though, right? How does one screw up the draft so badly as to have only 10% chance of winning?

Amazon Whole Foods delivery is the worst offender in this area. You finish your order and on the confirmation screen they add a tiny little line item for a preselected 10% tip. Suddenly your "free" delivery is now $15.

Whole Foods allowed Amazon to move into grocery delivery much quicker and bigger than they would have otherwise. That purchase made a lot of sense because even though Whole Foods is brick and mortar it extended Amazon's online offerin

It will have an impact, no doubt, but probably more like a few points higher inflation than a total crash. Either way, the point is that owing money in a currency you control is vastly different than owing money in a currency you don'

The US owes China gazillion dollars. Not a gazillion dollars in services and stuff. That's a huge difference because at any point the US can create a gazillion dollars for virtually no effort.

Right, and my point is that you essentially can't. For my address the best you could do is narrow it down to ~30 or so homes that share the same first digit as my address. For this to work you have to: (1) Have the IP address return

Finding a location by IP address is not always reliable. The first result when googling my IP address yields a city 1,000 miles away (other results have the correct city). Then, knowing the first digit of a street address gets you a range

I think what has changed is the shocking amount of money that recent start ups are burning. Snap burns more in a year (~$1 billion) than Facebook did in it's entire life. Uber has burned ~$10 billion during its existence. It's

I don't quite get how you can have a self driving car but not also a self driving truck. If you have the sensors and code to power a self driving car you ought to be 99.9% of the way to a truck. It should be a relatively small effort
