You are falling for the same fallacy many do when they do this math - they forget to include their rent in the calculation. If you include *your own rent*, as well as the appreciation on the property, owning your home *always* comes out ahead of renting. The calculus should be simple - if owning property was a bad deal, then no one would ever be landlords. The fact that landlords exist at all should be all you need to know that your analysis is wrong.

This has nothing to do with CAN bus. It is the 48V that lets them reduce the amount of copper in the wiring. Other mfrs. have had a difficult time moving to 48V because of how many third-party parts they use. Tesla in-house builds much of their stuff so the move was easier.

It's always strange to me to see how many people don't seem to know how big companies operate. The fact LinkedIn has 12K employees or billions in revenue is not relevant whatsoever, because Emma is line manager of a 10 person autonomous team with a mostly fixed budget, and likely only has a $250ish a month discretionary spend fund that she already has mostly exhausted. She also knows she will have to spend 3+ months getting internal approvals from the CIO and BISO and CISO offices to use your tool. That's more work on her end than it will be on you, trust me. And if she succeeds, your tool will then be exposed to all of the other autonomous development teams at that company. Many of whom might also try you out, because now that she did all the hard work to get those approvals it is easier for them to try. And then if you're lucky, after a year or two of these autonomous teams using it, maybe enough teams end up using it that the enterprise decides to negotiate a company wide license. This is how you enter an enterprise. Slow and steady, with internal champions, over a period of time. Or, say no. It's your company.

If he had acted like a competent adult and just went to his manager and said "hey I was in early today to let this guy in, so I am taking off early", they most likely would have said "OK no problem!" - because WFAF about 15 mins.. but he didn't do that, he JUST TOOK OFF and that's the issue. I've been in the workforce over 30 years. When I am leaving early, even today, I tell people. It's called, being an adult. It's not a high bar... at least it never used to be.

That's not how tarrifs work. That's not how any of this works. When tarrifs are imposed on Canada, US citizens pay them. OVER A LONG TIME it impacts Canadian exports to the US. But a Canadian citizen sees no direct immediate impact from a US tarrif. Where Canadians will feel an impact, are tarrifs placed on US products in retaliation. But I can buy my orange juice from China just fine.
