Tesla has more than double the P/E of the rest of the industry so this had better be a logistics problem that means they are moving to a lot more sales and not just tapering demand.

For (2) registration being weight per year seems good enough to me, it should just be a lot more, especially if a vehicle is oversized for its axels or license class.

I don't like parked trash and I believe the disposal/recycling process will have environmental impacts proportional to weight in terms of energy, etc.

The problems described sound like they have more to do with government interference. How would yubico be responsible for delays multiple shipment companies have and are unable to talk about?

The DEA has to do with this topic since you are contradicting a federal decision.

Your use of statistics here is meaningless. 52000 is not the number of guns they put on the street.

The market impact is real and covered in the article. People specifically search for police guns because they are cheap relative to other properties that make them appropriate for human on human violence.

I find it rather humorous to suggest that an agency like the DEA, with no actual function besides getting marketable goods out of a market should marginally lower their costs because market impact is a pipe dream.

There's no people who deny travel reimbursements that use Saudi gas.. Does that mean we all need to fly to Saudi Arabia to plan future businesses and garrison death squads in our houses?

I think there's a difference between doing the minimum that is not a disadvantage and making a relationship with an ethical discount country your competitive advantage.

It's equivalent to "nothing to see here" which is exactly the TLDR I was looking for.

The flash drives give an interesting sense of reliability since the controller will keep freshening and error correcting. I havent dared to leave one unplugged for a few years with data I wanted.

Kuwaitis are a minority within the actual population in Kuwait. Seems kind of like measuring only at the golf club.

Seems like the difference between cell phones and landlines implies things like self driving cars will be spread without relying on most people in a region affording them before construction starts.

The fully automated vehicles may be a lot more dangerous in some places than others, but you'll probably be able to get run down in the middle of nowhere.

When we are only talking about a few samples in each group, 4 cases every few years seems fine.. I would hypothesize that many of the symptomatic cases are people who are foreign but exposed to UK endemic leprosy. Of course to establish how true that is means there are more data points to collect for cases with foreign contact and the involved lands.

Are you saying it exclusively has lidar? If not then I don't understand your comment.

With cameras alone it seems pretty easy to trick them into dismissing road signs as nonexistent.. I think Lidar alone should be telling you there is a sign, so your camera is faulty or someone is putting up blank signs.

Lidar as I was told to use it would be in conjunction with a database of way points like signs, so the trouble would be knowing if the sign was updated.

Probably worthless as a solution, but it seems to me like a good quantitative tool to start fining at a realistic cost. I.e. VWs fines for emissions falsifications were at best based on first estimating with fantasy offset costs instead of a hypothetical build out cost.
