If $8400 is reached maybe. there also is a wall at 8250 at stamp, small but its been there for a while.

I buy massive unreasonable amounts of TP, but not out of panic. Together with home-baked bread, it drastically reduces my supermarket volume, so I can just about manage with a tertis-level over-filled shopping basket instead of needing a shopping trolley for the rest of the year. Saves a lot of time every time I visit a supermarket. Both in time navigating a busy supermarket and returning the trolley from the car-park.

My nick was not created in 2015, 2015 was that horizon but it still took 3 years to get back to $1K. And look where we are now.

Volume. People trying to sell high and buy low, and people being tricked into the reverse. Don't fall for it, ride along.

Not even taking the symptoms like high fever into account. This is either fake or they are talking about air humidity and somehow (unreliably) relate this to climate temperature.
On a related note, a Dutch hospital ran an experiment: replace all stainless door handles and metal surfaces with copper or copper-plated metals. It worked really well but was not implemented further since regular good cleaning (which is never done well in practice) was expected to be cheaper.

All things being equal, which of course they are not, 1 year closer to the supply halving.

I do hope they all wash there hands after this. I wouldn't take the risk of this much physical contact over a bit of paper.

It just looked off, and it is. that's 17 grains of rice. didn't check the rest.

or wait for the Tesla Semi truck.
(getting bored of this 9100 here. do something!)

It runs fine off-line, obvious without streamed music: https://forums.tesla.com/forum/forums/no-navigation-map-without-cellular-signal The car will usually wait for a wi-fi connection before downloading software updates and sending statistics, to save data bandwidth on the SIM. It does call Tesla directly in events like airbag activation.

Tesla thought of that. If you get in the car and don't enter anything in the navigator or give any speech commands, it will check you schedule (if linked) and else the navigation defaults to driving home. All we need now is full-self-driving to get your drunk self home.

At least in Tesla's sold in the EU, they don't send any statistics to Tesla by default, just download software updates which you can deny. But enabling the sending of statistics does help improving the software (safety features and self-driving) for EU roads.

There are no spare strings, only some models have a software-caped battery capacity that is temporary lifted in disasters. The battery management is closed but it's not too difficult to find a bad cell. The problem is that all the cells are glued to the cooling system and replacing a cell is next to impossible. They do put many cells in series paralel, with a fuse wire on each cell, so a misbehaving cell does not kill the battery, only reduces the capacity. (basically, if it shorts itself, the fuse of that cell is blown by the charger or all the other cells dumping there load into that cell.)
Tesla 3 has just 4 battery modules that could possibly be replaced, 2 long modules in the middle, and 2 shorter modules on the sides to give the front wheels some space. The trick to long lasting li-ion is keeping them balanced, both by tight manufacturing tolerances and good battery management electronics, and careful regulation of battery currents, voltages and temperature while charging and discharging.
Current Tesla batteries won't last 1M miles but that is what they are aiming for, including the batteries. How many car manufacturers are aiming for that kind of lifetime without major maintenance?

Just a subject that I find fascinating. These days oil is mostly used for transportation. I think a reasonable percentage of that will go electric in a shorter time than the time it takes to generate a return on new oil investments. Media gets all worked up about a couple percent changes in worldwide oil production, but turns a blind eye to demand that could fall faster than the oil industry can adapt to without big write-offs.

I'm on the lookout for a second-hand Tesla, and unfortunately they have a very good resale value  

Tesla also does not support the Nokia N900 running https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo 5 (still a better interface than both apple and android) Anyone else still using a phone with a battery manufactured in 2009?

For now. Low oil price means all investments in oil production are canceled, resulting in oil shortages later. Your only hope is unexpectedly high electric car production numbers, to offset a shrinking oil industry.

I think the math is off by 6 zero's. Everyone would get just $1. (the footnote should read: "calculated with my iPhone")

Printing your own fiat is a rare but valid reason to have no use for bitcoin. I'm sure he will do fine without it, at least financially.

70 days and counting. +3.5% a day would end up exactly at $100k (warning, optimistic timeline here )

Nicholas William Leeson's birthday was Tuesday last week. But it's still a nice number.

Finaly.

US gold reserve scrambled and stalled for weeks when Germany asked to return the gold they stored there. There is just thin-air bars there.
