Huh? Did you compare Q3 and Q4 numbers, the growth has pretty much reached steady state.
90,000 per quarter is what Tesla will be and probably 500 Million annual profit.

50% profit growth is delusional at this stage
It's not like anybody's hiding this. It's even in the article.

"In a bid to cut carbon emissions and air pollution, Norway exempts battery-driven cars from most taxes and offers benefits such as free parking and charging points to hasten a shift from diesel and petrol engines. "

"“It was a small step closer to the 2025 goal,” by which time Norway’s parliament wants all new cars to be emissions-free, Oeyvind Solberg Thorsen, head of the NRF, told a conference. "

It's clearly being driven by a government goal to hit a certain target by a certain year. That's fine (I'd even argue that's how it should be, but that would be beside the point).

That's because only 50% of the money goes towards things you expect it to go toward: labor costs, operations, and maintenance. The other 50% goes to unfunded pensions, debt service, and health care (mostly unfunded).

PingCAP | Software Engineer, Customer Success | San Mateo and distributed | Full-Time | Remote | https://angel.co/pingcap-1/jobs

We make TiDB, an open source scale-out database that is always consistent, always online, and MySQL compatible. Our underlying distributed key-value layer, TiKV, is a CNCF project.

We have a lot of interesting challenges to keep scaling for our existing users with 100+ TB of data and expanding to help users in new ways with their database needs.

I am part of the international team based out of San Mateo (bay area). Our small team is oriented to being remote, and we travel periodically to meet in person. Much of our team effort is targeted towards making this amazing technology more accessible to the rest of the world [1].

Our tech stack is Rust, Go, Kubernetes, and TiDB itself! You can work on a serverless cloud service, do low-level database hacking, or work directly with customers depending on your existing experience.

I like working on TiDB because I get to be a part of a big change going on in databases and work with a highly-skilled cohesive team. I am constantly learning new things about databases, Kubernetes, etc, but I also get to apply my existing experience to have a big impact.

See the jobs link for more details and compensation.

Still not seeing what's scary there. If you don't want other people to see your photos, you shouldn't be sending (or uploading) them anywhere. If you don't want to see ads, don't use services that show ads.

Sure, image classification can be done anywhere. People could classify their own images without any algorithm. The point is, image classification isn't scary, and I don't see how it could be. Using classifications to manipulate people might be scary, but that has little to do with whether it is done by Google, the server, or the client. If you don't want your images classified, don't send them to photo stores whose entire reason for being is the organization and classification of data.

China has a higher barrier to entry than any other market, esp. in the EV market, which is going to favor the homegrown options. The current trade war isn’t going to help Tesla. My prediction is that Tesla remains a novelty brand in Asia. Japan is similarly capable of taking care of its own market, and I wouldn’t want to take on Toyota when it comes to exports to South Asia, Africa, etc.
Well, I used to see images when I was younger, and now I don't. It went away sometime around college, I think, though I didn't realize it at the time.
It’s a very clear indication that adding a tax on internal combustion cars of say 100% can be a very effective way to achieve almost any fraction or sold cars being EVs. I’m not saying that’s a bad idea either, the question is how realistic a huge car tax is elsewhere in the world. That they had it in the past is a nice coincidence for them. Means they now get a “free” subsidy without making gas cars more expensive. Meanwhile in e.g Sweden polluting cars get a new added tax which is used to subsidize EV’s. It’s not nearly as high as in Norway however.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was Neflix PR department feeding the discussion to get more people watching Hasan. He's alright, a bit annoyingly pandering to teens, but this is a perfect way to get people watching his show with its format.
Once Jaguar, Porsche and Audi are able to produce electric cars in quantity, things are going to get interesting. For instance, I was recently looking at the Jaguar I-Pace, and was stunned by how long the wait and how high the markups are. Clearly there's a demand for a $100,000 electric car, but things are going to get difficult for Tesla once the competition arrives.
People are skeptical of Tesla because people are skeptical of Elon. His dozens of misleading statements and half-truths over the years have caught up with him.

I use Thunderbird because it is an application. If it became a Javascript app I and many others would surely switch to some other application.
Glad to see UX on that list. Under the hood Thunderbird is incredibly powerfull, but actually using it beyond the most basic workflows is mildly painful. With competition from highly polished webmail clients with autolabeling features I find it hard to actually recommend Thunderbird to anyone unless they need PGP (which is even more painful in Thunderbird, but PGP in the cloud is a different threat model).
I think they matter more than ever. Today, content is king and being able to ham-string up-starts by effectively eliminating several generations worth of content is great for established business interests.

If copyrights were only good for 30 years, then it would be cheap to start streaming services for music and movies. There's tons of great movies and music that you could to bootstrap your operation. Movies like Back to the Future could be freely viewed on YouTube.

Public domain works are incredibly valuable. Which is exactly why our founding fathers put the management of such powers in the hands of the federal government.
I always wondered how they came up with that north of 30% interest rate for the financing for the rest of the project that caused them to abandon it. Probably the banks just saying FYAD politely.

Not going to happen, considering Google's commitment to supporting Kotlin for Android development over the past couple of years.
Until someone from 4chan figures out how to use reflections and patterns of lights and shadows on the floor (or who knows what else) to figure out exactly what's in your house, and where it's at.
I don't get it, why can't anything change? In fact, the platform in which Thunderbird runs - XULRunner - is the equivalent of Electron for the Gecko engine, and a bunch of different applications have been done with it.

I am aphantasiac. I can imagine sound, but I bet it's not the way a person who 'hears it' does.

I play piano and sing (badly), so when I imagine sounds it's imagining moving the muscles to create them -- either my fingers or vocal chords. By 'imagining moving' I mean similar to subvocalization or imagining, like, throwing a ball or something -- there is clearly some interaction between my muscles and my brain when I do it, like it is simulating the muscle activations necessary without actually executing them.
