This is like when Papa John would come shoot a commercial at one of his franchisee's stores.

I would say the fact that he isn't a P.E. is enough for me.

If he was some mastermind engineer like he claims, he could easily pass the FE without even needing to study.

Everyone else in the world needs to prove their credentials, why doesn't he?

Why? I read the article and I'm not exactly sure what these proposed rebates are for or what qualifies a car or person to be eligible for them.

I didn't even see in the article anything that said Tesla would be excluded, other than a non-quote of maybe. Maybe I'm just missing something obvious.

They help with discovery for users making it easy to find curated lists of people to follow.

This is pretty rude to be honest and I can't believe rhetoric like this gets voted up.

This trivializes all parties, steers people in wrong directions and generally is just actual unwarranted or wanted, fake medical advice.

Because people are using it

What do you think the millions of people flocking to a new service as refugees would do?

Do you think George Takei or Flavor Flav care about federation and instances, or did they just see that Bluesky works similar to twitter and make accounts.

Most of the people joining are going to use the default recommended instance because those people aren't joining out of technical interest.

Google could pay chrome billions just like they pay mozillla and apple..

Besides it's not like that's really true anyway, chrome would make tons of money independently, it would just sell user data to Google or other parties instead of Google getting it for free. Chrome 'doesn't make any money' because it doesn't need to on paper, the same way a parking lot doesn't make any money for a grocery store, but if a third party owned the lot, the grocery store would just pay them to use it, or the individual people using the lot would.

Chrome is the biggest browser and successfully collects data on billions of people, additionally, chrome development would absolutely be supported by all of the companies that build chromium based browsers like Microsoft, opera, brave, etc.

That's not true on every plane.

Typically for doors that don't open inward first, they have interlocks.

For example, the over wing doors on a 737ng don't open inward, they are actually spring loaded on a hinge and swing directly outward, there is a locking pawl that engages and disengages automatically under specific circumstances, requiring the squat switches on the landing gear to be engaged and the throttles to be in an idle position.

But basically no broker is going to give you a million in margin on a 200k account, and you don't get margin called on mortgages (typically) the way you do with margin accounts.

Why does it need to be sold to another big company, why can't they just break Google up so chrome becomes its own business?

When you mortgage a home as an investment property, you are leveraging your money 5-1 (on a 20% down payment)

If rent covers 90% of the mortgage, you still make an absolutely huge profit amortized over the loan.

If you consider the tax incentives (interest write off, depreciation, capital gains deferment, pass through deduction) the gap in the rent can be covered.

Consider paying 50k down on a 250k house, the. Paying an additional 15 percent over the life of the loan (around 40k) to cover for gaps in rent.

Over the life of the loan you turned 90 grand into 250 grand (and a house is an appreciating asset, so it will likely be worth more than 250 by the end of it all)

Deduct depreciation (value of the home minus land value over 27.5 years) and carry over losses can even make up for the gap of rent you pay entirely over time.
