Tesla stock is speculative. You can't really compare Tesla to its specific market slice without losing much of the big picture.

The car market is a huge market, so there is a lot of room for Tesla to grow. Tesla is at a junction point right now. It is a strong player on the Luxury segment (eg: Porsche territory), and they seem to be going for the Premium segment (eg: BMW territory) which is what their valuation expect it to go.

It looks like the natural way to go, especially considering the investment in SuperCharger network. Except when you consider the scale of that market. Tesla would need to be able to scale by an order of magnitude (think dealer and garage network too) and a huge chunk of those purchases are fleet purchases. Once the competition enter the premium electric market ( all the premium brand have a 2020 target date, which of course means potentially nothing ), Tesla will need to be ready to have a new generation of all its car ready and be ready to do refreshes on a regular basis.

Even that context is not the full context. Automatic driving is coming which will change the relationship of people to car owning.

Tesla is a growth company, if you don't think they can go bigger you should short them.

No, I can say with certainty that they are working on their own mobile GPU.

They have been hiring a lot of graphics people and putting a team together.

And another thing that most people are not really aware: Apple had a lot of saying in the architectural and design decisions of Imagination's GPUs that ended up on their iPhones. A good part of the development actually happened at Apple's offices with Imagination people flying over.

So they know what they are doing, they are very well familiar with Imagination's GPU and they are more than capable of developing their own thing from scratch.

It's a lot easier to play a home game than it is to play an away game halfway across the world.

The US could bring a million soldiers to bear in Texas with very little difficulty. With those numbers, they could walk into every part of the countryside with rocks and beat the shit out of any insurgents. More importantly, they could occupy the territory with ease. It's much easier to occupy home turf than it is to occupy people of a different culture, ethnicity, language, and background.

Regarding the Troubles, I don't think that applies here. The Troubles were, at their root, a sectarian conflict. That doesn't exist in the US; it's not like there's a religious minority in Texas that feels oppressed by a government that will never, ever listen to their grievances.

An indirect approach could be to figure out if sensitivity to fake-news/populism/echo-chambers correlates with other behavior, allowing you to select.

For example, suppose that a correlation exists with short-term greediness. In that case, you could alter the voting process such that the voter can choose between a small reward or voting.

This could also be justified by saying that politics should not lean towards short-term policies, and hence people who are prone to such thinking should not participate in the voting process.

I agree, the sugar is pouring in from every crack and hole, how many ways do we need of doing the same thing. Sometimes the sugar is a genuine productivity booster and you don't want to be a Luddite but recently, in JS it seems it's coming faster and faster and that's why it is so important, whether you are working individually or as a team, to choose a subset of language features you will use to keep sane. No one likely agrees with me but I always found callbacks are more readable for my brain than code rewritten to use promises, so may be this new way is something I might actually like in use! Select your flavor of sugar.

I highly doubt they consider their writers interchangeable with writers from the rest of the marketplace. However, if the writers themselves are anonymous, all social capital (reputation, respect, etc.) generated by the article goes to The Economist. This maximizes The Economist's brand while also removing any chance of a writer building up their own brand on the site and then taking some of the reader base with them.

Reddit AMA: Neil degrasse Tyson
Welcome to programming - where there is no right answer and theres 1000 different ways to do what you want to do.

Years of experience wouldn't make this an easy question to answer - everyone has their preferred stack; way of doing things; etc...

(personally) I like Wordpress for just a strait up blog. Anything more should get some custom code / CMS. It's not to say you couldn't do this in WP, but why lock yourself into a framework which may do more then you need it to do or less and you need to write custom code anyway?

If you write a custom API / CMS, you need to do everything yourself - user authentication, data storage, UI, the API, etc... It's a lot more work, but you'll get exactly what you build, no more, no less.

I would do a custom API, and use a CSS framework / JS framework where you can to save a bit of time. Plugin stuff like Bootstrap to get started quickly with the layout; there are thousands of JS script for JQuery, React, Vue, Angular to add any frontend features you'd like, etc... Then, if you ever decide to build a mobile app, the API is already written and you just need to hook up the app frontend to it.

It won't hurt to start on WP and see how far you get; if you out grow it or are feeling limited, start new and switch to a custom API / frontend. While it may be a PITA, It's not uncommon for new products to go through multiple revisions in the first year, especially when there isn't a huge team behind it to prototype different ideas.
I'd suggest rather than "bad and wrong" perhaps try "(curious,) mischievous and subversive".
If "hacker" is what one is really referring to, "maker" largely misses significant parts of the whole, for instance when it comes to taking things apart to understand them, and creatively subverting things to do something else than they were originally intended for.

Those two things aren't contradictory. A stock can be inflated for 20 years and provide great returns to investors during that period. The best investments are in stocks that are growing quickly and are valued at a low multiple of earnings.

There are much better investment opportunities out there than Tesla. People invest in Tesla because they're inspired by Elon Musk or because they regret not having invested earlier on. You shouldn't make investment decisions based on those emotions.

If you want to invest in the future of cars I think you'll get much better returns investing in Magna Int'l and NVIDIA.

I've had a similar experience. I think the organics companies just clean their equipment/tanks better or something. Regular milk with an expiration date 3 weeks in the future often turns sour within 3 days of opening, despite refrigeration. Whereas organic milk with the same expiration date, from the same shelf in the same store, will last a week and a half. And there's really nothing inherent about organic milk that should make it last longer.

"The widespread assumption that the top brands in journalism today (NYT, WSJ, Economist...) were better in the past is simply wrong"

1. I don't want to get into a debate, but don't you think a serious lack of money affects journalism?

2. In the past, the big newspapers could pay for due diligence. The best reporters rose to the top, and built a reputation on honestly/ethics.

3. Now--with their shoe strong budgets, the news stories seem thrown together, and all of us here, usually pick them apart piece by piece.

4. I'm not claiming that a certain generation had more ethics than another, but it's just a matter of economics. If you don't have money to hire talent, you hire whomever is willing to work.

5. A few days ago, someone said The Economist has a lot of annoymous articles. Why?

The 8% figure was not "all other variables being neutralized" as I pointed out in my first comment on the matter. It didn't take into account the number of graduates. And even if it did, it would still only apply to the specific demographic that it was based on.

If you continue to quote it as "women in big cities earn more" then you're just wrong. Factually incorrect. You have no basis on which to make that statement.

Now, why should I believe any other unsourced statement in your posts? How does throwing your credibility away help advance your case?

Fair point, although that still won't rule out applications that get updates (and thus still would have to be completely re-evaluated on the basis of such a case).

Also, wouldn't e.g. Homebrew also get those problems if you compile against the new SDK? (Non-Mac user here, so maybe I've got the wrong impressions on that...)

Safety might be a big concern, but on the other hand, pthreads is a standard - if the article's right, and POSIX doesn't mandate fairness, you might still argue that this "addon" was better put into a custom solution than the other way around.
