  Five distinct disciplines compose the ESS, encompassing a wide range of emergency response functions and roles:

What I'm saying is that they can sell cars in BTC without any volatility exposure. The price going down is not the reason for them deciding against selling cars in BTC but the energy subsidies.

They didn't sell their $1.5B BTC.

  Now it seems to be going down. When bitcoin continues to steadily go down, it is a significant concern because Tesla will have to take losses on the cars it sells and will have reduced gross margins, which will result in their stock price tanking.

Doesn't compute. If Euro/USD goes down by few basis points would one stop selling cars priced in euro?

They can always price cars based on BTC's price and liquidate it to fiat or cryptocurrency of their choice.

The interaction surface usually is just tip of the iceberg.

Here's a thread [0] regarding the complexity of Uber's iOS app.

Dan Luu made a far better case [1][2] for this than I could. Worth the read.

There behavior with Elasticsearh [0] seems similar to what they did to sellers with Amazon Choice and their other knockoffs [1].

> When Amazon announced their Open Distro for Elasticsearch fork, they used code that we believe was copied by a third party from our commercial code and provided it as part of the Open Distro project. We believe this further divided our community and drove additional confusion.

> Recently, we found more examples of what we consider to be ethically challenged behavior. We have differentiated with proprietary features, and now we see these feature designs serving as "inspiration" for Amazon, telling us their behavior continues and is more brazen. NOT OK.

If someone were to give a jist of what happened without giving personal/geographic info, one wouldn't be able to ascertain whether it happened in Russia/China/Iran/<insert your fav "evil" country>.

Edit:

From the down votes it appears that I've hit a nerve here.

My reference wasn't this particular article but what happened with her in December. [0]

There was an armed raid of her house where her equipment were seiezed.

I see it as intimidation for going against the state. Perhaps others don't.
