The amount (and degree) of variables is so large that the exercise is essentially worthless. How can you estimate the share price or probability of exit?


You can't really but if you were to think about it that's how I would go about it. You can test different values and probabilities that you think are (likely|conservative|optimistic) and go from there. That gives you a range and a ballpark for different scenarios.

Personally though, if I can't predict something with > 90% accuracy/reliability then I'm not interested in investing in it.


Perhaps, but the murder-for-hire would remain. He isn't leaving prison anytime soon.


This implies Tesla will forever remain an automobile manufacturer. There is a potential future where Tesla acts as a flagship to start an electric automobile market and will then supplies components (e.g. batteries) for manufacturers within that market. Elon's future is on Mars, not designing SUVs.


It's not strictly the board's fault. The CEO market demands high salaries. Few worthwhile CEOs will accept a position at less than market value.


I always found the free market argument hard to believe.

Why is it you can hire a world-class nuclear physicist or neurosurgeon for less than a percent of what a CEO is paid?


What happens when I drive more than 100m away? Does the car rely on the key being "close enough" to keep the engine powered?


Most smart key systems will let the car run indefinitely, or until it runs out of gas, etc, once the smart key is removed from range, provided you don't turn the car off.

This is done for obvious safety reasons. Imagine for example if a car just suddenly turned off while you were going over a major highway bridge with no shoulders, etc.


Also it protects against the battery in the key dying.


It also protects against your wife getting out of the car with the key in her purse while you drive back home after dropping her off.


You probably want to realize your wife has the key immediately, not when you are home miles away from the key :)


While I was driving a friends keyless car (he had the key) he stepped out to get something and the car flashed some lights to inform me I was driving without the key. It didn't turn off (thankfully). This is the correct behavior.

I once watched a friend's girlfriend throw his cell phone out of the car while on the freeway. Had this been his car keys I would hope that the car would not immediately power off (especially since I was in the car).


This will not cure any "low income folks" woes. Simply averaging the paychecks will not help the fact unexpected issues arise... or the fact that they don't earn enough to live a simple life.

This service at $3 is silly.


> Simply averaging the paychecks

They aren't simply averaging; they expressly state that "average" is used loosely and they are using an undisclosed algorithm that is not a mathematical average.


>stop bullshiting please >racist as hell >American scumbags >stupid moderators

Stop mudslinging.

>I have kept proof

Please post.


"14,000 members"

Isn't that small time compared to Silk Road 1/2?


What realistic threat(s) would a spy pose? I don't know how the NASDAQ systems work.


NASDAQ is a stock exchange. Financial institutions as a class of companies have pretty strict regulations/compliance issues about who can work in them. For example, they fingerprint every exchange employee and typically bar convicted felons from even applying. Being a agent of another state--and certainly if not disclosued-- is such a red flag for fraudulent behaviour as to not need further explanation. A foreign agent has the means and motive to harm both the exchange members and the host nation, and providing them with corporate security clearance equates to a the opportunity for criminal behaviour (either as a principal or an accomplice).


It helps to show trading patterns. Causing trouble on the market has serious repercussions on everyday business in the states.


>Taylor Swift's agent (I think it was the agent) described it this way - a fan pays $15 for the album, and her friend says "why did you pay for that? you could have just gotten it off <pirate site>." Contrast that with "why did you pay for that? you could have gotten it legally for free off <legitimate site>."

That's not how it works for many. I have friends who pay for Spotify and download (illegally) any content not available on the service. Ultimately, this move will not only harm her discoverability but will also harm her reputation by withholding her music (from fans) for greater profit.
