Has anyone reference in the efficiency of such programs. It seems to me that $1000 will not make a big enough difference to make someone buy a tesla. Most of the buyers that will enjoy the rebate were probably going to buy one anyway.
On the other end the fact that the owner can get up to $10000 with the referral program might push most owner to oversell the quality of Tesla cars.
"You are descended from almost every single human being alive 1,000 years ago."
If a generation is about 30 years then you will have close to 33 ancestors lines in your family tree over those 1000 years. That makes 2^33 ancestors or 10 billion, that's impressive (well there is probably a large overlap)
Yes, but remember the "bottleneck" from 70,000 years ago, when the human race was nearly wiped out. At that time, because of a nuclear winter brought on by a volcanic supereruption, there may have been fewer than 10,000 humans in the entire world.
So, based on that, we're descended from fewer people in the past than most people realize. Another way to say it is that most of our ancestors were cousins.
That overlap is more than large, it's actually the most important factor in the calculation. You only need to go back about 6 generations (200 years), and there is practically no interchange between geographically separated groups, which means that I probably don't have any genes from some random asian living 1000 years ago (although we both almost certainly share genes that we inherited from some far more ancient common ancestor).
This app makes it really easy to publish something you want to sell online. It seems like the friction is very low on that side of the transaction. Now, it doesn't seem to make the buying part much easier. I'm wondering how this will evolve.
This is insightful data and sales metrics from a first week on the iPad App Store. Interesting to note that the app was first developed with Flash/Air and later fully ported to Objective-C/iPad with some new interesting gestures.
It would be nice, but as we show the person twitter timeline we can't do that without you being logged in otherwise we can be out of quota (2000req/hour)
