What about taxing every financial transaction with something like 1/100 of 1%? Deducted by the broker at the time of the transaction. You sell $10,000 of stock and you pay $1 in taxes, you buy some other stock with that $10,000 and you pay another $1 in taxes.

This reminds me of the early days of nuclear power: "Electricity too cheap to measure - free for everybody . . ." Perhaps a little bit of environmental (and other) reflections prior to rushing into Chernobyl, Three Miles Island and Fukushima would have benefited a few thousand (million?) people...

I'm desperately waiting for the 150kwh battery so I can tow a trailer. More efficiency in the car does not help that at all. And I have the sneaky feeling that I'm not the only one.

" . . . it is the Tegra daughterboard that Tesla charges $120 for. Total cost, including labor, is closer to $400." Wait a minute. If Tesla sells the daughterboard for $120 it should cost them somewhere between $12 and $60. Normal mark-up for parts between manufacturing and end user are 100% or...

..but we spend very little to stop this.. Really? Although I have no data to support my inkling here, but I think that the amount of money spent on an ongoing base to reduce traffic injuries and death far exceeds whatever is, has been, and will be spent on Covid-19; probably including the...

Maybe late to the discussion about Elon's 'fascist' tweet, but I did a tiny bit of google search: The Alameda County sheriff’s ties to the racist far right Now add the fact that Chevron has a huge refinery in Alameda county and spends lots of money influencing local elections - there are...

About AI and Stop signs: Once FSD recognizes that it should stop at an intersection weather there is a stop sign or not then I think the stop sign problem has been solved. Sort of like a reasonable driver. :)

Looks like Bernie Sanders suspended his campaign.

There is a whole tread dedicated to this - has been going on for a while: Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software
