This! Tesla's proposition is very risky but from their track record of what they've done with reusable rockets, I guess you can say execution is their strong point. Yes Elon will have crazy deadlines, but if you put a good buffer then eventually he'll deliver it.
Note that the memorial erected in 1976 still did not mention Jews, just "Soviet citizens", as the quote says.

It took until 1991 for a memorial explicitly mentioning Jews to appear.
Pure "fact-based" reporting is in no way a solution.

For example, take the following paragraph; "The Fukushima Daiichi reactors suffered a disaster in 2011, causing dangerous radiation leakage. Even six years later, radiation levels are high enough to be instantly fatal. Even brief exposure can cause genetic damage leading to cancer. The radioactive dust from the disaster has been carried eastward, and has been detected throughout the United States. This radioactive dust has likely been deposited in millions of houses across the country. However, the United States has no plans to initiate a domestic cleanup."

There are only facts in that paragraph, but it paints a very misleading picture of a domestic emergency that simply doesn't exist (the domestic radiation levels are so low as to be harmless to humans). Pure "fact" reporting doesn't solve this problem.

Bottomline: Ford is run by professional managers. Tesla is run by a visionary.

Ask HN: How best can AI / Machine Learning help the humans?
With the advent of AI / Machine Learning and increased focus on their usage in the tech industry, what could be the day to day applications or changes that the humankind will see in the near future? Is there a list of AI startups in YC?

PS: I have recently started reading about ML and am curious about exploring this further. Learning Python now as a starting point.
FT Alphachat had a great interview (March 30 [0]) with Robert Cialdini about his new book, politics, and influence. He told an anecdote on himself which illustrated the difficulty of distinguishing the "good" nudge from the "nefarious" ones. A salesman, seeing him contemplating AN on-sale TV, told him that it was the last one in the store, and that another customer had told him they were thinking of buying it. Cialdini left the store with the TV. Was this a good use of nudging? In an effort to find out, he went back the next day. Did he see another TV? Listen to the podcast to find out. [see what I did there?]

"Capitalism is not really nice." Agreed. "Get over it." Well . . . considering capitalism isn't exactly working (except for the very very few), I don't think many people are actually willing to just get over it anymore, including bros. (Hence, perhaps, the rise of the Bernie bros.) And yeah capitalism doesn't just produce asshole males, it produces its share of asshole females too. Way smaller share, admittedly. But maybe that's a good thing (and this is coming from a female). https://www.buzzfeed.com/doree/feminist-hypocrisy-is-the-new...

Often its not even smart enough to pick up on things you're really going to buy. A few months ago I did some research on designs for folding wooden tablet stand to base my own build on, and one of the images I clicked on from Google Images shows up to this day as one of the prominent ads on every Wikia fansite I visit with that particular computer. I didn't even visit the store it's sold on, and they're still clinging for dear life to this one scrap of information on what I might buy.
I think these comparison's to other car companies really miss the mark. Those who are long on TSLA (myself included) aren't looking at them as a car company. Tesla is cracking open new markets in the following areas:

- Electric Cars (most visible. Also don't undervalue their unique direct sales channel, which is a huge competitive advantage)

- Batteries/Energy Storage (not just cars - utility scale energy storage, with capacity coming online that will double global output of lithium batteries)

- Solar panels and solar roofs (both residential and commercial, a market with a hockey stick growth curve coming)

- Self-driving AI (head to head with Google on one of the most fundamental changes to transportation our society has seen in a century, and they have the hardware driving around us all the time already, rapidly learning and improving)

Ford, GM, et al are irrelevant and poor comparisons. This is SpaceX for Terran energy and transportation.
Out of curiosity, what is the advantage of having a single instruction?

I imagine that the benefit of a simple syntax in the assembly code is counterbalanced by the complexity of implementing complex logic, say control flows?

Also, what is the performance impact of this approach? Wouldn't it cause more cycles for the same code in general, compared to multiple instructions?

Lastly, could there be an optimized hardware for this set? (Executing directly on the RAM chipset maybe?) How do you see it perform against more traditional hardware?

An aluminum body is exactly the kind of iteration that was being talked about. It is neat, but its not and all new drive train on a totally different tech. Aluminium is a pretty well understood material, while self driving cars are virgin territory.

Tesla is making larger swings and potentially accepting larger risk. Ford is... iterating.
But they surely have an Android Security one, which tends to ignore the issue with updates on their reports.

Apparently now all OEMs are playing nice with updates and everyone that bought a phone in 2016 got their updates.
I really don't understand US's use of SSN. You people treat it as a secret while it isn't. Now this is a place while something like SSN would've helped but NYPD still uses the old name+D.O.B. combination for checks. US is basically using a very insecure method of national identity. Maybe US should just go ahead and implement a real National Identity Program now.
Let me guess, it malfunctions and... fixes the cable?

General purpose visa/mastercard gift cards yes, but single-company gift cards just cost face-value (or sometimes slightly discounted at places like Sam's). And some of the participating stores like CVS already sell Amazon gift cards.
I'm sure I speak for many when I say thank you for fighting the good fight, in particular one that puts both individual choice and governmental responsiveness in a positive light.
As soon as I started reading this comment I was thinking "I worked at a company that did the exact same thing!" Ha ha, small world :)
The typical view of Amazon is that they're putting B&M businesses out of it.

What's the value to these stores in doing this? I feel like I'm missing something obvious here.

>What is this based on?

It's based on nothing other than the weird contempt you see for large, established corporations in the SV crowd. Big established corporation = big established rule book and management hierarchy = stifled innovation. Nevermind the fact that most of the major technological breakthroughs of the past 100 years were developed by the research wings of big corporations (Bell Labs, defense contractors).

There will always be overvaluations and undervaluations of companies relative to how they'll perform in the future. It's notoriously difficult to predict. In my opinion, however, while there may be some overvaluations now, we're not even in the same universe as we were in 1999/2000.

Back then you could take an MBA with a powerpoint, put the word "Internet" on it, and they could conceivably IPO for hundreds of millions with nothing more than that. All of these companies valued at $100m, $1b, $10b with no more than a promise of "one day we'll sell x online and make a lot of money." A couple companies full of genius technologists (Amazon, Paypal) made it through the rubble, but for the most part it was all smoke, mirrors and charades.

Contrast that to today. Certainly there are overvalued companies; there always are, but there are also companies that are proving to be worth the hype, and severely undervalued. The Internet is 20x as large, there's real revenue coming in, real profits, and the scale that companies can hit when they land on something solid is incredible.

People were crying Bubble when Facebook was valued at $30B because it wasn't making much money. Now it's bringing in billions easily and still growing http://www.marketwatch.com/story/facebook-profit-tops-1-bill..., now valued at $400B+. So some companies were undervalued, even when everyone was crying "bubble."

As an asset class today tech is tiny. The valuations of every tech "unicorn" combined today would be less than Microsoft. Would you rather own every single tech startup that raised venture capital in the past couple years or Microsoft? You could have that discussion, but you wouldn't be crazy to take all of the VC-raising startups. And today the total amount of venture capital raised is a rounding error relative to the rest of the economy. (There's also a discussion around how all asset classes are highly valued today and even bonds are returning negative yields, but we'll save that for another day).

Tesla is certainly expensive relative to where it's at today, yet I still put in my entire net worth at $180 http://www.marketwatch.com/story/elon-musk-to-the-guy-who-in... (this is not a move that would be recommended by your financial advisor; my net worth is something I could replace quickly enough that it's not a big deal). Tesla is, in my opinion, building a fortress. It's combining the technology needed to incredible electric cars at large scale with the biggest battery factories in the world, solar-powered roofing, a nationwide charging network, and just some incredible innovations. We've seen Tesla do the impossible an innumerable amount of times in recent years.

So the price of Tesla right now is very frothy, but I still think in 10 years I'd rather own 100% of Tesla than 100% of Ford. If you disagree, then Tesla is overvalued, but no one truly knows who will be right. Such is life as a growth stock.
Comparing Tesla with Ford is like comparing Ford with (GM + Shell + Hertz). Tesla is an energy company not an automobile company. It plans to sell you new ways to capture (solar panels), store (power wall), and consume (cars) energy. It also plans to make cars fully autonomous and ownership free. Ford will obviously compete with Tesla in some segments is not a primary competition for Tesla.
I suffer greatly in coding interview questions. I'm not a kick-ass full-stack engineer but rather a research engineer. I code every day but usually it is proof-of-concept demonstrations so I lack formal education / guidance of many professional coders. I'll knock a take home assignment out of the park but I do envy people who are great coders.
>Prior to the guidance, H1-B filers could just say "this is a programmer, thus they are a specialist" and now they need to provide evidence

Only at the Nebraska center, not the California one, nor the Vermont one. And it's only a reminder to the Nebraska center that to be considered a specialist you need to hold a bachelor's degree or higher in that field of study. The California and Vermont one were already applying this rule. It's not clear how many H1-B petitions are event sent to the Nebraska center, but according to [1], originally very few.

> their ready-to-be-submitted applications for Bachelors and Masters-degree holding developers just got a whole lot harder

That's not my understanding of the notice, but our definition of "a whole lot" might differ.

Snapdocs | Rails & Data & Product Engineers | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE, http://snapdocs.com

Snapdocs (YC W14, SV Angel) is an early stage, rapidly growing company looking to fill a variety of engineering roles. (Growth, amiright?)

We're a small team tackling the absolutely massive mortgage market. We're bringing modern, elegant software to a field that still relies on fax machines and manilla envelopes. We bring security, efficiency and joy to a paper-based pillar of the US economy.

The type of problems we're tackling involve workflow, product design, data, and computer vision for mortgage documents. For data, it decides everything we do. We won't start work on a new feature until we can point to the numbers we hope to move.

Snapdocs' culture is one that trusts its team members to make smart decisions. This means we value both independent work as well as seeking collaboration. We're becoming ubiquitous in one segment of the market and we're looking to expand further.

Skills & Requirements

* Rails Engineer. 3+ years experience, but more is welcome. Ideally, you're a full stack coder. But in reality, you probably lean either towards the front or the back end. That's fine, so long as you know (and enjoy) your strengths.

* Front-end Engineer. 3+ years experience, but more is welcome. You have a deep understanding of CSS but prefer to use Bootstrap. Experience building reusable components a plus.

* Data wrangler. We're looking to double our Data team. AI! Advanced machine learning! An ability to read past hype-y buzzwords because we don't (yet) do those! We're taking a paper-based, non-standardized dataset and extracting insights to help guide product design and market forecasting. Stack agnostic, we’re more interested in your creative ideas/ability to self-execute than a resume.

* Being the 10th member of on a fast-growing technical team. This means helping to form a healthy and happy culture. We strive to be respectful of each other's time and point of view. We're learning how to do this together. We want to create a place where it's OK to fail, and that you know the team has your back the whole way through.

* Self-motivated. To us that means when you get an interesting problem, you will rip into it until you understand its nuances and perhaps have a glimpse of the solution.

* Empathy. We work closely with our customers, meaning phone calls, emails, and sometimes lunch. It is important in this job to listen to them so that we can build what they need and want.

"Being long Tesla is making a bet that the future will look different."

No. Being long Tesla is making a bet that the future will look like Tesla, that Tesla will be producing a very significant chunk of the vehicles on the road sometime in the reasonably near future. Tesla currently has plans to expand to produce 0.5 million vehicles per year in the 2018-2020 time frame; Ford currently produces 2.5 million vehicles in the US for ~15% of the market.
