Being innovative at small details of existing concepts isn't likely to produce huge gains in stock value, as opposed to being innovative at entire categories of new industry- and infrastructure-disrupting products. Ford does the former, Tesla does the latter, and the market is valuing them accordingly.

The market could be wrong, Tesla could fail to achieve their vision, Ford and other existing big companies could somehow turn themselves into organizations that aggressively pursue ambitious new visions.. but the market is betting not. You're welcome to make an opposing bet.

And yet, if you ask a non-technical user to install a new OS, it's entirely likely they'll refuse, be uncomfortable with the implications of what they're doing, and if you do force them to do it, will be frustrated with the result.

I worked in a Computer Repair shop for years through college and believe me, the average user has ZERO interest in installing or re-installing an OS. They will pay >$100 to have someone "spam next a few times" as you put it.

I would call that a distinction without a difference. End result is the same: non-technical users do not do it.

I don't understand the logic of the original vision at all. You have Netflix for Hollywood and TV, Youtube for more independent stuff, Crunchyroll for anime, Amazon maybe for stragglers, and Twitch for livestreams. And Hulu was there. And so on.

There isn't room for another general purpose video platform icon on someone's home screen. That's not a great strategy.

It was a mistake to not find the niche like live sports from the very beginning and building the campaign/strategy around that. Then drive that wedge open.

thelab | New York, NY (NYC) | Backend Developer | http://thelabnyc.com | Full-Time | Onsite

We're looking for a backend software developer to assist in development on a mid-sized e-commerce site, with a focus on developing and maintaining several open-source projects we own and contribute to. Most development would be on server-side code, but some experience with front-end technologies is a plus, as would be experience with DevOps.

To apply, please email your resume, links, and cover letter to jobs.dev@thelabnyc.com

Languages / Frameworks

- Python / Django

- Typescript / React

Infrastructure

- Openshift 3 Dedicated (Kubernetes)

- PostgreSQL, Redis, Elasticsearch

Things you'll be doing

- Using SOAP APIs from a Python application to communicate with other backend systems.

- Working on core e-commerce functionality like tax calculation, coupon / offer redemption, and payment processing.

- Continually thinking about application security and possible attack / exploit vectors.

- Unit testing your code to ensure correctness.

You are right, we agree that it's better to not use real data and probably shoudn't have used it as one of the "features", but sometimes it's hard to anonymize data you already have or you just need to test some one-time script and check if all the emails are going to be send correctly etc. Anyways, we will probably change that text, thanks!
I generally stay current in my research field, but that's a different thing than actually contributing. The free time is one aspect of the problem, but there's also the problem of attending conferences regularly. I could pay the expense with the excess salary that industry pays, but unless you work for a research group, it's unlikely that you can make a workable schedule.

Not to say it couldn't be done. But there are enough hurdles that I end up mostly just not participating much. That's not ideal to me, but it's where my actions show my priorities to be, I guess.

I'm not opposed to managers. I am one, after all. But I don't think "management" is a universal skill. I think somebody who manages developers should probably be a developer. I think somebody who manages doctors should be a doctor. And I think there's a lot of merit in non-hierarchical systems, like the way doctors and lawyers are mainly accountable to professional organizations.

I agree that metricising knowledge work is a mistake. But I think it's also true for other kinds of work. In colleges I worked in a factory and there was no end of trouble that came from managing via metrics.
What I think is unnatural is the situation where the student is being paid, and where the mentor has a formal responsibility for the student and acts as the person who ranks the student and thus decides upon their salary (fail the student -> no money).

In a normal situation, new contributors show up and are self-motivated, and receive guidance from others so that over time they become equals. The mentor's role is spread among several people, and it is informal and temporary.
There is no money involved.

Many (not all!) GSoC students do not experience what the normal situation in open source feels like.

I am happy that your student is an open source enthusiast and got a job in open source. That is great.

I have seen this kind of good experience, but also more disappointing ones. In one case, a student simply disappeared after the first payment (in the middle of the summer) had been issued.
Depends on the objective of the media buy. In digital our goal is awareness and perception, not conversion, and we can measure lift in those metrics.

not caring about performance destroys faith in projects. if the things we write can't be as performant as we like, we'll use a different language and your project will fade.

pretty simple concept. surprised that people don't understand that.

(mind you, python is about as performant as I like for the tasks I use it for, so ymmv with the above.)
Any idea what the incentive is for the stores to be a part of this? Explicit cut of the total dollar amount, marketing to appear "hip" by partnering with Amazon, or betting on the extra foot traffic driving immediate sales?

Is there any way to go back to cash? It references the transcations as being non-refundable. Does that mean it's more of a "purchase" of Amazon.com fun bucks (i.e. scrip) rather the depositing a balance?
Maybe I'm daft, but I don't quite understand what your getting at.
If your reasoning is productivity above everything, therefore the only solution you can think of is Python, I call BS.

As a Googler, I could relate countless stories of systems that were cobbled together in Python and then scaled up with massive investment, then later rewritten in C++ or Go, and generally ran with 100x fewer resources. Hell, from what I can tell, almost all of YouTube was written in Python and has or is still being rewritten in C++, Java, and Go, saving XX millions of dollars per year of CPU time.

Sure, prototype with Python. But by the time you get to scaling out a huge service, it's probably time that you rearchitected the system anyway, and you should spend the engineering effort to make it efficient.

Tesla Has All the Hallmarks of a Cult Stock
You can only optimize variables (and outcomes) under your control. Coordination is hard, and that's marketing's job to figure out.

If the software is better than anything else available, then the user is optimizing their time within their own constraints. If the users complain that it's too slow and you lose users as a result, then go ahead and optimize. But slow and working is better than fast and imaginary.
Find a better way to reach your target audience. Getting people to self-select is the very best way to reduce the load from interviewing.

This is just my opinion, but I think long term Tesla will lose out on solar panels to cheaper more focused competition.

But they seem to be leading the way in battery production and self-driving automobiles. If they can hold on to market lead in those two areas then they should still be able to way outpace Ford or other car manufacturers. Big IF though in terms of self-driving technology with all the other big money players racing for that grail. Energy storage and battery production they seem to be in a class of their own without much competition.

All companies eventually die. Sometimes this can take hundreds of years, but all companies do eventually die. At that point, the stock is worth zero. So if all stock is eventually worth zero, why pay for any of it today?

Well, you may want voting rights. But voting rights don't mean much unless you hold a lot of stock, and a lot of stock is non-voting anyway.

That leaves dividends and exits. An exit depends on someone having a value for the company, and can almost be looked at as a 'final dividend'. So I would essentially boil the value of most stock down to purely dividends.

If you buy it for any other reason, you are hoping that some other person will be willing to buy it from you later. Which means that other person needs a reason (voting power, dividends, or some other business move with external benefits).

But my appraisal is that many stocks exist today that have value simply because people think that other people will want the stock. It's inefficient, and at the moment of exit (death also counts as exit here) someone is left holding a bunch of stock that's worth less than what they bought it for.
What a crazy cool idea!

Question: what is the standard human physiologic "click" time?

How fast or slow does it take to make a click. A mouse click takes longer than a screen tap, no?

Sometimes one will hold a mouse click if they are unsure.

What might be a better way is to record a scenario and measure response time on the replay?

Cool idea regardless

I don't really like the analogy for several reasons, but what's wrong with IBM? Have you looked at their share price over the past 12 months? As of today, IBM is trading at around $164 billion market cap and paying out a dividend of over 3%. I'd say that's pretty good.

I don't short stocks because I don't believe in trying to time the market. I actually think Tesla could move well north of where it is currently trading. Not because I think they are going to grow to justify the valuation, but because I think lots of people will look at the $45 billion valuation and will incorrectly compare it to Amazon, Facebook (as you just did), Alphabet, and Apple and think $45 billion is low.

However I am long Ford. In fact it comprises the largest percentage of my personal portfolio. I continue to add more to it with every drop and just added more a few days ago. While the value has been dropping over the past couple of years, I've been collecting healthy dividends along the way ($F pays out now over a 5% yield), and am happy to sit and wait to see how long people will wait for Tesla to move beyond a niche auto maker and into the mainstream market.

Edit: One other point- this recent run-up is attributable to Tesla delivering more cars this quarter than expected, not because they just unveiled some new technology the market wasn't previously aware of. TSLA has been extremely volatile whether you've been long or short over the past 2-3 years. All it takes is one missed earnings report and it'll send this stock down at least 25%.
Also, you write the software for X minutes and run it for Y. If cost(X) < cost(Y) e.g. Because Y is very large for long running software, then higher performance will save money. Of course it can be difficult to know when this will be true especially in advance...

As a software user, is completely agree with you! I get frustrated by badly performing software so often I regularly wonder if I'd be happier doing something that relied less on shitty software.

They are growing really fast in the USA, mostly because the banking system here takes advantage of people much more than the banking system in the UK. Prepaid cards give people control over their financial lives, they are expensive but cheaper than overdraft fees and expensive credit lines. Growth is coming from younger demographics, so I'd say likely to keep coming: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-rise-of-reloadable-prepai...
I just don't see a) as happening much. If there are cheaper solar panel or electric cars available I don't see the point in a consumer not going with the competition. Unless Tesla intentionally makes it hard to integrate competitors solar panels into their power walls/cars, which would likely land them in some anti-competitive/monopoly troubles in a number of jurisdictions.

Or even more precisely, the nearest float to 0.3 is not actually the same as the nearest float to (the nearest float to 0.1) + (the nearest float to 0.2).
The interesting thing is that as soon as you go negative, a larger negative P/E is better than a smaller negative P/E, and it's really wonky at earnings close to 0.

It's a clever business move for all involved.

Amazon skips the credit card fees. The businesses working with them probably don't have to pay Amazon the money for a few weeks, meaning they get to carry an interest-generating balance in the meantime.

If you don't spend all of the money you put on your account, then Amazon gets to hold that cash until you do, generating interest on the money held.

All the while, the customers who need this service get something they couldn't before- online shopping without a credit card, including the better selection and price competition that online shopping offers. (Yes, it's sometimes cheaper offline, but not always).

This is the aggravating concept of "face time" which is pushed onto engineers and people in areas who are not in direct sales or relationship roles.

It also harkens to the prioritization of Sales over Product.

At a prior job, a developer who worked with me had asked a director (non technical) why he couldn't work remotely more. He had been chastised in the past for it, despite the fact I could list his commits from our SVN. He was more productive at home, having removed commute and additional costs going to the office. This director could not provide a more ambiguous answer than "You work at the company so you should be visible here."

And then, like you said, the 3 companies provide a luxury campus for employees that are actually attractive. Any annoying little fledgling developer could get dismissed with a pseudo-falsehood "Google developers go in to the office every day - why can't you?"
