Ford's F-150 truck line is a fortune 50 company by itself. Two factories. It's kind of insane.
Will that actually result in growth for Ford, however? Electric vehicle sales in Ford may displace sales of non-electric vehicles; in other words, the net effect might not be more than zero. This would not really represent growth for Ford, in that case.

You are right about some of their resources, however I think it is a mistake to glibly discount the importance of the battery supply and manufacturing (and by extension, the charging infrastructure) -- that is arguably the hardest and most important part of an electric vehicle, and with Tesla's Gigafactories, that could represent an important advantage of Tesla.
No, it wouldn't, for at least two big reasons. First: SFBA has geographical and political constraints that make housing particularly problematic. Other major US cities, and even college towns like Ann Arbor, don't have those same problems.

Secondly, the Bay Area housing shortage is a phenomenon of hundreds of companies being located in the same area. No one company, even Google, could have that same impact on another metro area. You're only going to stand a chance of recreating the SFBA housing shortage (and it's a small chance) if the whole Bay Area market moves wholesale to a single new place.

I have an entrepreneurial background, am currently the head of Technology for a major (Fortune 500) corporation, and looking to relocate to the San Diego area. Extensive experience designing/building and managing development of very high traffic web properties and software systems for major/global brands. In particular, I have deep insights in the marketing & advertising space. Would love to help a smaller to mid-size company optimize and grow their tech department.
Agreed. In fact, modern self-service soft drinks dispensers make it even more appealing and simple for the customer to get exactly what they want.

Faced with a waiter or a person behind a counter, there's no way I'd order glass of a lime-and-raspberry half-sugar half-diet cola, for a number of reasons: I'm not going to bother looking through a menu to see what's available; it's not explicitly on the menu, and I don't know how the system behind the counter works, or how much extra might be charged for such an odd order; I don't want to be "That Guy".

If I want something half-way between a macchiato and a cappuccino, but with the coffee poured on top of the milk, then I'd rather do that by pressing buttons on a machine, than ask a server who relays it to a coffee wallah who then looks quizzically at the instructions and asks the server for clarification who then passes the question on to me...

Ford (and all the other car companies) has also huge liabilities - a huge supply chain and R&D costs around combustion engines, and costly dealerships that revolve around servicing a hugely complicated contraption made up of hundreds of mechanical parts. Much of this will be of zero value in the near future.
My criticism of that example isn't that it's abstract, it's that it's purely hypothetical. I'm claiming there's no evidence to back up the assertion that there would be bad effects without public sector unions, so yet another assertion of this does not really change anything.
Haha, and then Apple would own MIPS.
> And people saying they're ok with graffiti and vandalism are really saying that they're ok with other people's property to be graffitied and vandalised, not their own.

At an extreme if Banskey wanted to graffity something of mine I'd be incredibly happy so this is just plain incorrect.

Probably not big on people tagging my stuff, but this is not what you are implying.

Visual pollution is a thing, as you seem to agree since to you graffiti is vandalism (compared to invasion of property rights for instance), but by this standard why does a business owner get to then visually pollute outside of their property?

Honestly, excel is so hard to use once the scale reaches a few hundred million that I was forced to build my own drastically scaled down version in order to support my data analysis. It's an interesting project, and the source code isn't too lengthy to get a reasonable amount of functionality.

I support a bunch of basic mathematic functions, and derived auto updating columns. I also have some ability to import and export common formats. I'd open source it but I don't want to open source my befunge interpretter which is essential to running my business.
Individuals within a company seek to be viable in the future, which often leads them to reject innovation that might endanger their role.

History is littered with companies that refused to pivot into new technology until far later than they should have, because they were too heavily invested in the old way. American car companies suffered from this in the 70s, where they got thrashed by competition from small imports for quite a while before they could be convinced to stop concentrating on land yachts.
I can't imagine that all of those will remain usable and competitive without major investments. Note that doesn't need dealerships.

The government’s struggle to hold opioid manufacturers accountable
When I was younger there IBM, Apple, Be, and Microsoft were all working on these amazing new operating systems. Now the #1, #3, #4 most popular operating systems are all some variation on Unix. What happened? Why did no one except Microsoft come up with a new operating system worthy of mass adoption?
GM has for the most part done a good job so I am really surprised how much Ford ceded this segment to them. GM announces EV sales at end of the week and I am really curious how well the Bolt is doing at its still in limited number of states but will be in all by fall (September I think).

I really don't think there is any difficulty in making EVs now, its finding enough to support the market. While 200 is great for a base range I find it the absolute minimum for any pure EV and to be honest I won't go pure EV till I see 400+ (Drive a Volt now). Not all want/need two cars and even many families are constrained based on size/packaging of the car which led to my surprise when the 3 was a sedan which is not a growing market.
The only advertising I see for it is during national NBA games, and I believe it's always stated as "go90 by Verizon" on there. I'm a millennial and I've never even been slightly curious as to what it is or does.

> The first solution that comes to mind is to legislate that certain pieces of property must be the legal primary residence of the owner.

I am not sure I understand this solution. Are you saying that San Francisco's housing problems are not caused by demand that far outstrips supply? This proposal would just mean that prices stay high, but more people buy instead of rent.
Absolutely, drop me and email and I'll see what I can do
Are we assuming that electric cars are the only future or simply one part of the future? As an example, what work is Tesla doing with hydrogen? Ford is doing quite a lot: https://corporate.ford.com/microsites/sustainability-report-...

We're also making the assumption that charge-battery-drive-the-car is the future

Battery power is an evolution of car tech but it isn't a revolution. Tesla is building wired telephones when the majority of the market is using wired telegraphs. A substantial improvement to be sure, but to suggest a company such as Ford is not able to grow is very short sighted-- they aren't standing still either. Tesla could increase production and sales by an order of magnitude and still have a minuscule market share.

Of course Tesla will grow, but they don't have a monopoly. The future value of Tesla is certainly greater than today's value, but to discount everyone else because we are analyzing this through a specific lens of perception is a folly.

The electric Focus is competitive with the Nissan Leaf, at least on paper.

I think the economics aren't really there yet for them to bother with an electric platform (vs retrofitting electric drive into an existing platform). If they thought it made sense, they would be able to be producing at large volumes in a few years.
SEEKING WORK - Remote // Berlin // Short-term Travel

I am an experienced (5+ years) Swift and Objective-C developer from California, now living in Berlin, Germany.

I previously worked at various companies in San Francisco and Berlin to build iOS apps which were featured in Apple's WWDC keynote, regularly ranked in the top 50, or were featured by Apple in the Apps of the Week or Best New Apps categories.

On the side, I run my own app, LineUp, which regularly ranks in the top 50 for the Productivity (Grossing) category and has grown to $58,000+/year in revenue.

My goal at the moment is to meet and work with interesting people, build their early stage products and MVPs, and find time to do the same for myself. If you think we would be a good match working together, please get in touch!

> In the current world human labor is very much in demand.

If this were the case, wages would be rising. Supply and demand is what kept unions around in the 60s, there was enough demand for labor that they could demand higher wages and better treatment. Now due to globalization and other things, the return on labor is incredibly low and still declining.
Ford also had 3 large vehicle recalls last week alone
My prediction has always been that all traditional car manufacturers will jump into the market with gusto at the next inflection point in battery technology.

The current state of the art battery technology for vehicles is heavy and has less than desirable energy density.

The minute a new technology can deliver twice the energy density at the same or lower weight and lower cost most established car manufacturers will jump in.

Electric cars are very easy to build when compared to IC cars. The simplest fact being that you are eliminating thousands of mechanical components and replacing them with an electric motor and hundreds (or thousands?) of electronic components (for motor control). Electronics design and manufacturing is easier, cheaper and faster than mechanical manufacturing.

I believe Tesla is positioned to take a big hit when that inflection point happens. They are inexorably married to a battery technology. The Gigafactory, as awesome as it might be, is now a large ship with huge mass that is very difficult to turn around.

The next battery technology might very well turn the Gigafactory into a huge anchor for a few years, during which all other car manufacturers, lacking that commitment, are likely to leave Tesla in the dust.

We are a passionate group of engineers, design researchers and artists deeply focused on “Why of Everything”. We help our clients achieve more with our design and execution expertise.
For us, design is way beyond aesthetics. Design is how stuff works. Starting from how it looks to how it feels, we care for the details.We have developed from successful landing pages to full fledged enterprise grade applications. Have you looked at some of our work already?

Your job will be to work with our engineering team and get shit done. We love JavaScript and Python, although we occasionally work on PHP as well. You will get the exposure right from managing servers to writing your own application servers to creating progressive web apps and mobile apps. If you’re also interested in Machine Learning and Deep Learning, we have some really challenging work for you.
These questions aren't that bad. There's even architecture design questions (under System Design).

Looks like a fun bedtime reading material to me.

I'd say read this kind of stuff on regular days, not one night before interviewing, and peeps would do just fine.
This seems like irrational exuberance levels. It's already worth more than Ford and still hasn't even produced the model 3. :/
So if Ford/GM holds on to their huge marketshare with a successful switch to electric, that's a mark against them?

Hypothetically, it would cost Ford/GM much less to put a "SuperCharger" at every existing dealership than it would for Tesla's entire basic roll out.

Tesla has been successful at marketing thus far, not manufacturing.

I've seen much the same thing with people I know who voted for Trump. He's their savior because he promises to "get rid of those illegals". Somehow, it doesn't matter that his henchman Sessions is also going to massively ramp up marijuana enforcement, and this is likely to hit them because they're pot smokers. As long as he gets rid of the illegals, it's all worth it in their minds, even if that means they become a felon and spend a lot of time in a privately-owned prison.
