SolarCity is massively in debt .. because that's their whole business. They take money from banks or companies like Google and invest it in solar projects, expecting a reliable return for them and their investor. Debt is the whole point.

Government subsidies are sunsetting as solar is getting exponentially cheaper. It comes down to selective reporting.

The "risks reported to the SEC" are classic fodder for reporters trying to make a story out of nothing. For purely legal reasons, companies will enumerate in the 10-K even the faintest risks to their business to preempt any claims.
If you can hack someone's camera, you can make it so the camera turns on without turning on the light and letting people know you're watching and listening.
I certainly do, TSLA is getting a fantastic deal.
An idea is useless. What it matters, especially in SAAS is to identify a need of an heterogeneous group of people. A painful one for which they would pay a certain amount.

So instead looking for an idea try looking for a community and try to understand it. Study it, see what they do, how they do and what they really need. Don't ask them what they need, or if they have an idea because they might not know.

Once you understand them you can start crystallizing an idea. It might be bad, you start (in)validating assumptions, pivotating and iterating through those steps until you reach to the good "idea".

An idea you get from somebody else is in the best case scenario one which identifies a need. You still have to validate it, which is the hard part. And you still have to understand your customers which is even harder.

The successful one man side-projects are successful because they are started by passion by people who follow those steps sometimes without even knowing it. They are annoyed by something or they need something which does not exist. They create it first for them and for people like them.

Because for better or for worse, the DNC pretends to hold "fair elections" in its primary. Yet at the same time it's been favoring Hillary all along. Because of the elections thing, the DNC is supposed to be fair to all candidates and not try to promote one candidate over another, set-up more people to applause for a particulate candidate in the debates, send more flyers that promote one candidate over another, and so on.

If the DNC would just "appoint" its favorite candidate, that would be fine. It's kind of a normal thing to do in Europe, actually. But then, just like in Europe, the Dem and Rep parties would have to allow other parties in the general election as well, and set up a system that works for third parties, because chances are more often than not people wouldn't be happy with the main parties' "appointed candidates".

Both the DNC and the RNC want to maintain the pretense of "fair elections" within their parties, so that people think their voices are heard, so they don't need to join another party and form a competitive grassroots movement.
DRBD works very well for high availability, especially good to provide failover for master database, since that usually requires fast failover like under 10 seconds. Five or six years ago, did couple HA setup with DRBD along with Linux HA and virtual IP. The failover work great.
Is this a laptop by any chance? The mobile chipsets have some weird issues, especially if you are using an optimus device (I got bumblebee and akmod-nvidia working fine on my work provided W540 with both F22/F23, but the amount of effort was hardly worth it when I'm just staring at IntelliJ all day and the intel HD graphics are more than sufficient).
Not always. Otherwise we'd all be using punchcards and valves still.
does anyone remember pbase.com for free photo gallery hosting, in around 2002? apparently it still exists with its same basic but functional UI.
I would hope that they would teach swift as they created it, it runs on all their hardware and it is open source so it also can run on Windows and Linux. And imagine if Google adopts Swift for android as an alternative to Java? Then you have it spanning all major platforms.

So, you're suggesting that the DNC release oppo research on its own presumptive candidate for president.
[edit: didn't figure you were going for the rebut, but I reread mine and thought I needed to really clarify]

On a side question, I know a lot of groups that have side
channels where they discuss "inside baseball" type stuff away from non-insiders. Do security experts have a "hey did you hear about ...?" network or is it more of an I have other friends in the business type thing?
Where is Tesla a household name? I never have any exposure to Tesla other than on Reddit and HN. Even now I know little about the company and my main thought is "some new company making electric cars that sound expensive, have unknown longevity, unknown reliability, and unknown depreciation, and will be hard to service."

On the other hand, Solar City reps harangue me to buy their product every time I go to Home Depot, and I see their trucks all over the road. I have no favorable impression of them either--I think "if solar is so great, why isn't my utility doing it, and why would I sign a long-term contract with some dude who hangs out at Home Depot and harasses people." But I don't see "Tesla Energy" having some kind of excellent brand equity.
It's very unlikely they would do something like this just to punish short-sellers.

Also, Tesla is also popular among short-sellers, and it dropped in value (which was expected), so it wouldn't make any sense to 'punish' short-sellers in SCTY only to 'reward' them in TSLA.
Appreciate the feedback. Makes sense.
No no, I don't mean them installing their own systems vs Solar City doing it.

If you have a PPA, the installer reaps all of the financial benefits. If you finance the system, you get all of the financial benefits. Its the difference between leasing a car versus financing it and then driving it until the wheels fall off (keep in mind, panels have a 25 year warranty but will still produce above 80% capacity for decades after that).
Pretty sure it was specific to the actual taste my brain was receiving - I consider pork to marginally ethically worse than beef, yet pork retained its good taste to me (at least then, no idea now, but I assume that's still true). Chicken and turkey and fish likewise remained tasty, but red meat tasted very greasy, a touch bitter, and otherwise tasteless.

It was actually very weird - I'd smell it, and remember the good taste, then have some and be quite startled how bad it seemed to me. (and again, other meats did not have that reaction). I have no idea if this is a matter of personal chemistry, a more intricate mental gymnastics than the one you propose, or is actually commonplace. To this day, the smell of KFC original recipe will make me salivate. (I once found an Indian place that had a veggie Pakora that tasted JUST LIKE THAT BATTER. Man I miss that)

For background: I went full vegetarian for 6 months in college, but stopped when I was seeing stars constantly. It's easy to get decent nutrition with a vegetarian diet, particularly as I'm not active, but microwaved rice and beans and mac n'cheese (my college diet) wasn't healthy enough. So I returned meat to my diet and that's when I found I didn't like red meat anymore. I imagine I could've taught myself to like it again, but I was content with the other meat options and had no more health issues. After a few years like this I noticed that a few foods (e.g. lettuce, baby spinach) that were previously on my "ick" list were now palatable, so I started dropping a meat a year, giving my taste and lifestyle time to adjust. After a few years of that, I was fully vegetarian, and my diet has expanded, though I still have a depressingly large "these foods don't taste good to me" list.

Why do I think pork is marginally than beef? I grew up in a rural-ish* area, and have a lower opinion of cows than pigs, in terms of intelligence and awareness. I similarly think a turkey is smarter than chicken, but we are talking literal bird brains at that point.

* rural-ish = a large town surrounded by farmland. State College, PA, for the curious.
This only stings the shorts if they don't go through with it. Otherwise they're paying a premium and stinging themselves too. And if the shorts can hold on, and they don't go through with it, then the stock price will go back down.
> More like Solar City is going to ruin Tesla's financing facilities.

Not if Tesla can borrow those credit lines, and then lend them out with Solar City installs at a profit.
> Because for better or for worse, the DNC pretends to hold "fair elections" in its primary.

There is no such thing as the DNC's primary. The only Presidential nominating election run by the DNC is at the convention, when they delegates vote on the nominee.

State parties in some states hold elections in the nominating process in the form of caucuses. Primaries, where they are used, are run by state governments, not the DNC or state Democratic parties.

> If the DNC would just "appoint" its favorite candidate, that would be fine.

That's actually what the convention is: its where the DNC appoints its favorite candidate.

> It's kind of a normal thing to do in Europe, actually. But then, just like in Europe, the Dem and Rep parties would have to allow other parties in the general election as well, and set up a system that works for third parties, because chances are more often than not people wouldn't be happy with the main parties' "appointed candidates".

No, they wouldn't, and even when there was no pretense that the nominating conventions were anything other than insider-driven affairs (which only ended fairly recently with reforms in both parties to rest more heavily on either state-run primaries or relatively-open -- compared to how they used to be -- party caucuses to select delegates, or at least inform delegate selection) the electoral system did not support third parties any better than it does now.
Eh, column A and column B. I'm convinced that the only reason this happens is because of bad wording in FOIA requests, combined with a lack of pushback after rejections or missing/redacted information.

A great way to get around that prevailing strategy is to simply chain requests - particularly since "unduly burdensome" is such a popular rejection. For example, I've been after the Chicago mayor's communication records and a recent request for communication records of three companies was rejected for being "unduly burdensome". My response to that is to request their DNS resolution logs and the domains/times/from of sent email. I honestly don't actually care that much about the DNS logs - the information is (mostly) just for finding significantly narrower windows for when communication is likely to have happened. Having an exact time for an email will get rid of their claims of burden.

It still makes me chuckle that their obstinance only makes me request more, and each time it results in more information than I was originally seeking.

If done right, FOIA is a lot more useful than you might think.

Edited. I agree. Sometimes hard to avoid the temptation.
I don't think parent was pointing out a conjugation mistake. Rather, the point is how we will use different words to describe the same event depending on perspective - in order from least to most harsh, first-, second-, and third-person.
