  1. TSLA, MARKETS TAKING A BEATING

    TSLA's stock price is being determined by straight-up supply and demand for the stock, rather than the valuations you get from running models on their business fundamentals or looking at comparable stocks. The demand for TSLA appears to be driven by public excitement over the product, rather...

  2. Lessons learned from the Texas grid failure

    That's what the people of Texas voted for. They can change it, if they want to. Or they can keep it the way it is, if they prefer. I'll stay here in Illinois, though. For all of our government's faults, the snow gets removed.

  3. Oil Major Total Buys Texas Solar Projects

    What he means is that he's concerned when he sees companies trying to build monopoly power. That's a very sensible concern because free markets aren't so free when there's a high degree of monopoly power.

  4. Oil Major Total Buys Texas Solar Projects

    What you're describing is an acqui-hire. Acqui-hires are common in the IT industry, but that's far from the only reason to buy a company in the broader economy. Sometimes you want their customers, sometimes you want their engineers, and sometimes you want their factory. Sometimes it's...

  5. What is happening with Tesla stock and when will it stop? Getting a lil nervous.

    At some point, Tesla's stock will start behaving like that of a blue chip company, rather than like a growth stock. When you think that happens, and what you're going to do about it are up to you.

  6. Musk welcomes Ford Mach-E to EV world

    An electric version of the Dodge Magnum would have some dedicated fans. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Magnum I seriously considered one a couple of times, but couldn't stomach the MPG. I'm in more of a minivan-and-pickup-truck phase of life these days. But some folks really dig the...

  7. Is this the motocycle to go with the Cybertruck?

    A 4kw battery does not go any particular distance. A 4kW battery can provide a tad over 5 horsepower. Do you mean a 4kWh battery?

  8. Hovercraft

    It Electric aircraft are cool! They have serious limitations, and they cost more than the Tri-Motor Cybertruck. But they have much lower per-hour operating costs, which is important in aviation. The first generation of electric trainers and gliders is exciting. The next generation of...

  9. Hovercraft

    There are a couple of electric sailplanes available. An electric self-launch engine with a retractable engione: Taurus Electro – Pipistrel Aircraft (pipistrel-aircraft.com) In-flight: Pipistrel Taurus Electro - YouTube The Front Engine Sustainer approach: Front Electric Sustainer/Selflauncher...

  10. Hovercraft

    Gliders, including motorgliders are easily trailerable. But, yes, paramotors are flexible and affordable. They look like a lot of fun, even if they're mostly dawn-and-dusk machines. Alas, like motorcycles, they're not within my personal risk tolerance during this part of my life.

  11. Hovercraft

    I love the idea, and the low cost of para gliders and parameters. What talked me out of it was looking at reserve chute deployments on YouTube. I fly sailplanes (while wearing a parachute), and we seek out thinks like dust devils and other bumpy air. The conditions that mess up paragliders...

  12. Aptera

    I've worked with a lot of Indians over the years, and was trying to figure out how to work this in....! Of course, the Indians I work with are mostly (but not exclusively) from rich families mostly just buy an SUV to get around India.

  13. Aptera

    It is a motorcycle, legally speaking, in all of the US states I've lived in. One of those states is a helmet state, so you'd be legally required to wear a helmet while driving it in Virginia. It looks like fun, but I don't disagree with the regulators about how it's classified. P.S. Regular...

  14. Tesla now selling Tequila!

    Illinois has been managing the COVID situation fairly competently since the beginning. We've managed to avoid the full exponential-growth runaway, at least. That's not to say things are great here. My kids are all doing remote school, and my wife and I are both working tech jobs remotely from...

  15. Alpha Motors EV

    "If you're not first, you're last" was referring to bad advice given to Ricky Bobby by his deadbeat father in Talladega Nights: This kind of "parenting" leaves our lovable protagonist with a number of deep character flaws, several of which are greatly improved by the events of the movie...

  16. Ownership?

    Everybody's workplace is a shitshow when viewed from the inside, though. Even the most world-changing place with a gold-plated reputation where I worked was that way. And, less surprisingly, the opposite end of the spectrum was one, too. The difference is how well we-the-responsible-employees...

  17. Ownership?

    The VA really helped my dad out near the end of his life. He was not proud of his service (Vietnam-era draftee), and he avoided the VA as long as he could. His experience as a draftee is something which kept me, and likely his grandchildren, away from the military. But the VA really came...

  18. 5:1 Tesla stock split

    I was pretty critical of social security and medicare until I realized that social security keeps my crazy aunt from showing up at my house in desperate need. This is a pretty good value. Also, medicare took care of at least $150k worth of my dad's medical bills near the end of his life. I...

  19. Ownership?

    It's really not that hard to study on an individual level. Just ask your HR department to tell you now much it costs to employ you (your "encumbered" salary). You divide that by your take-home pay, subtract it from one, and multiply that by 100. That is your *effective* tax rate, with no...

  20. Ownership?

    I used to think the same way, but then learned more about economics. A simple comparison of the US healthcare system to other systems the world shows that healthcare in the US is far more expensive per capita here, despite our market-driven system. So, why does the real world fail to conform...
