He wouldn't condemn Neo-Nazis, but according to the "Christians" of today he would condemn a whole class of people for putting their penis in the wrong place (or to be even more hypocritical, the place is OK just the wrong gender). Sad. If that's what your Jesus believes he sounds like a pretty...

I think they had shown it and even asked repeatedly to have it removed and Wells just ignored them. Hard to know how much was on purpose and how much was just big company horribleness.

ICE is 25% at ideal throttle settings, which most driving sadly isn't going to be at. Grid losses are a lot less than you might guess, shorthand in the industry is 7-15% generator to consumer. Anyway, rough order of magnitude it's some low double digit percentage increase over today's generation...

Cool story, thanks.

So no finance background or finance related degree? Would love to hear the back story on how you set that up, sounds like it would be a good read!

I gave you that article because there are several different versions of basic order of magnitude calculations based on gallons of gas currently burned, efficiency of gas and electric engines and the electrical distribution system that you don't need a PhD to easily follow. All come out to...

Serious question, can you point to anyone who has been hired by a $50M plus fund based on a "track record" in a personal account? It would be great if it worked this way, but in reality it just doesn't. You get hired based on who you know, your degree, and at the higher levels how much you've...

Sorry, can't help there but that doesn't mean there aren't some out there. Good luck!

As an employer, I can tell you that you need to bring something special to the table that no-one else does for me to go to the effort to sponsor you for a work visa. Anecdotally I can tell you that most employers who have more than enough qualified applicants for a position (as would almost...

There is a visa program that is specifically available to non-U.S. citizens who obtain a degree at a U.S. university allowing them to work for a certain amount of time after graduation. This is generally the easiest way to get a visa and transition to a permanent work visa in the U.S. if you're...

Puerto Rico is part of the U.S., by the way. It is just that it's a territory and it's citizen's can only elect non-voting members of Congress who have no real power to do anything.

Excel energy did a study which indicated a 19% increase in electricity generation capacity with 100% EV penetration (http://www.slate.com/blogs/quora/2014/05/02/electric_vehicles_how_much_energy_would_we_need_to_fuel_them.html). Substantial but not civilization ending.

A car company, like Tesla? Elon is that you?

Relatively. While Antioch is far cheaper than San Francisco, for example, it's still well above average prices in the rest of the country. After living in CA long enough you start to think anything sub $500k for a house with a yard is "cheap"!

Puerto Rico residents don't pay U.S. federal capital gains tax, even U.S. citizens. It's pretty much the only legal way a U.S. citizen can avoid it. The only rub is that you actually have to spend 183 days a year in Puerto Rico, and you lose your ability to elect a senator and representative to...

What's your problem, you're acting like a total jackass here for absolutely no apparent reason.

Just to be realistic, it's pretty rare that you can do what you're proposing and get to scale. It's worthwhile to step back for a second and do the math on your revenue and costs to run a fund. Let's be generous and say you get 2/20. You're planning on supplementing your military retirement, so...

At least you may be able to (barely) afford a house down there! Real estate is merely rediculously priced vs insanely priced in the Bay Area.

Since you were responding to a post about Trump and coal jobs in the U.S., the U.S. electricity market is perhaps more relevant than the growth in load in India. Not really viable to ship thermal coal that far at a large scale.

Must be, since he hasn't started "accusing" me of being a gay jew yet. Usually he's pretty prompt about these things.
