You just put in writing what I've been thinking whenever I come across these articles.

One thing I would expand on is the resale value for Tesla. The EV technology is changing so rapidly that there may be groundbreaking changes or improvements in the 3-5 year span that would render a TM3's resale price useless. It's much more unlikely that the same will happen for a Camry, the threshold of innovation for gas-powered cars have been pushed much more closer to its limits than EVs.

That's where it all started... After answering that question with "yes" and realizing what was coming his way he swore to always answer with "no" from that point forward.

For you and poster above - I have a 6-month old kid and he's sleeping full nights since 3-months old. He only missed two nights (one was sick and the other one just started teething). The resource we used was called "On becoming babywise", highly recommended! (also, knock on wood, I believe we've been lucky with the baby, so far!)

Venezuelan here. I was gonna make the same point.

Imagine how bad Caracas is, given that the population is roughly the same (or a little larger than Chicago's). There are no official numbers for Caracas as the government "chose" not to report. But Chicago has a 15.65 murde rate vs. a +110 in Caracas (per 100 000).

I don't even want to think what's the rate for the equivalent of Engelwood in Caracas :(

I don't get it - that's so short sighted. It really saddens me. Especially in cities like Nashville, who are not very large or dense, but have the opportunity to grow by a lot in the coming decades. At least having an approved and implemented project in plans would be immensely beneficial to that community.

Disclaimer, I have never been to Nashville, but I've heard about it from people who have been there and did a bit of reading 5 minutes ago.

That's a tough one. And I think these sentences need to be reviewed and some of them revoked.

However, the underlying problem was that these people who are currently in jail were doing something that was illegal at the moment. Their sentences need to be revised, but it's probably not something I'd exonerate from all guilt.

According to the Ex Post Facto law [1] definition, a court could issue amnesties or pardons for scenarios like this, but I don't think it would be an automatic process over all convictions.

As a U.S. citizen who has lived abroad, all expats have to report and pay back their taxes to the U.S. Given, there's a bigger exemption (I don't remember the exact number, but you start paying taxes at 40-50K).

So I agree, Apple as an American company should pay taxes on the money it makes abroad. And again, I would vouch for a larger tax break, but still pay on their income abroad - as expats do.

You know what? I got your answer, I have this beautiful 0-mile device without all those gadgets and crap. No keyless entry, no GPS, no radio, no (power)windows, no thermostat, minor software and computers (just to control the engine and emmissions). If you want add-ons you add them yourself:

- GPS -> mount your smartphone

- Thermostat -> more/less clothes

- Radio -> get a bluetooth headset for your helmet

- The list can go on and on...

You just described my motorcycle! Beautiful 0-miles engine (took it out of the dealership this week). It has no unnecessary stuff and that's what I love the most about it. I do pretty much all the maintenance myself and the community of motorcycle riders is very supportive and helpful to do so.

Now... Why isn't there a car company that builds cars on the same level of complexity? I know comfort/luxury sells. But there should be a tier of cars that are easily serviceable.

Meanwhile, I highly recommend you get a motorcycle :)

I actually agree that it is what they should have done. OR at least go up to the $1,350 that the regulation stipulates.

However I find it difficult to believe that the Airline (or the flight attendants manager) would have allowed a $5,000 compensation for the seat. Because they had no way of knowing how this was gonna unravel.

Why the hell did you give this customer $5,000 for his seat, are you CRAZY?

You're fired, and we'll make you pay those 5 grand

I replied to the form, but I think this has to be more transparent than 'some charity'. Also, there is no incentive for the recruiter to put up a quality job posting (aside from hiring a good candidate), but there are recruiting "farms" who will just put anything on the web. The incentive here is for the platform to have as many job postings as possible.

I think a better approach may be charging both the seeker and recruiter the $2.5 fare (recruiters can set a cap, and does not have to be 50/50... could be seeker $2, recruiter $10). But there needs to be painful and incentives on both sides.

The tech support guys is obviously not sure of what's going on.

I don't think it works like that. On my own experience, I did the free upgrade last week to my HDD when it came out. I also created a USB drive to do a clean install, during the weekend I replaced the HDD with an SSD and put a new RAM stick in it. Windows 10 was installed from the USB stick and was properly activated with those hardware changes without having to input any type of product Key.

So yeah, bad on the tech support guy, but I don't think this will be an issue for gamers who constantly change RAM, video cards and hard drives.

How crazy would it be to say something along the lines of: "OK, I'll accept your offer but I want to be paid for overtime, and have [some] freedom to work in personal projects/consulting (as long as they don't expose 'trade' secrets from the company)"

It's like saying, I'll take your low pay + stocks but you will also be risking that I start making more money on my own and leave.

How to Stop Time 12 years ago

Though this is a good point, you are not really procrastinating at that point. Procrastination almost always implies being late to your due dates. You are just very good at calculating time you need to do something. I think you can consider yourself a procrastinator when you are habitually being late and making others be late because of your behavior (laziness or whatever it might be).

For me, the saddest part is that all this fight over an unethical practice by both companies is keeping true innovation from improving the services. I wish Lyft and Uber teams were as creatives for improving their services instead of damaging the other.
