> In July 2018, we delivered our 200,000th vehicle in the US, which means that our US customers will have access to the full $7,500 federal tax credit until the end of 2018

So basically they have until the end of the year to produce as many cars as possible and get their finances in good shape, otherwise they're in trouble.

Their goal is 10k cars/week, so perhaps then. There's also (reported today) $5B planned for the factory in China, expected to be raised largely in-country but with some American/international investment. And, of course, some capex is always necessary to replace depreciating stock and support new models (pickup, new roadster, and truck all planned).

Silk Road has been gone for a long time. At this point I would guess that 75% of the volume of BTC movement is from speculators. That's probably conservative.

How does that work? Why doesn't Google block their proxy/scraper, use captchas, etc. as they do on Tor?
There is such a thing as objective truth.
I don't actually remember. I used to set all my settings to US/American ones because some apps were only in the US app store, so there's a good chance I was looking at the US$1 price. Not sure what my friends saw in the Brazilian app store.

I don't mind CLI programs. But there are definitely some things I wouldn't want to use them for. I couldn't imagine using a non GUI CAM or CAD program and a CAM program is far superior to coding a bunch of complex G-Code by hand. CLI video editing, 3D modelling or GIS work would be a pain compared to GUI versions. There are definitely places for both. Hence why we have both.

Also as a counter point switching between something like vim and Emacs is about as difficult as switching between Photoshop and gimp if not moreso.
How is it that you can afford your contractors charging you more, because they are wasting their time doing something they aren't good at, but you can't afford hiring someone who is good at that task?

Do you also pay your employees to wash the windows, and vaccum the office, instead of contracting this out to a cleaning service, that can do that busywork cheaper, and better?

If my boss wants me to waste my on-the-clock time to wash windows, that's fine with me, but it's poor business sense. I'm not very good at it, and my hourly rates are higher.
You can invest inside a traditional or Roth IRA, which mitigates everything. But your retirement accounts should probably be heavily biased towards stock market index funds anyhow, so that doesn't really help that much.

Replying to self since I can't edit.

I may have been a bit too confident about whether the text would have been enforced. It actually is possible (in the United States) for a court to alter the terms based on evidence of a clerical error, if the evidence is strong enough.

https://chicagounbound.uchicago.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?arti...

To summarize, there's something called the "parol evidence rule" which boils down to: if you have a final written agreement, and the text of the agreement is clear, you usually can't introduce extrinsic evidence (e.g. from the negotiation process) that the parties' intent was something other than what was written. However, there are a number of exceptions to that rule, and one of them is that you can introduce extrinsic evidence to try to prove the existence of a "mutual mistake", which can be grounds for "reformation" of a contract (i.e. correcting the mistake). A "mutual mistake" is when both parties are mistaken; on the other hand, a "unilateral mistake" (by one party) generally will not be corrected, unless there's also an element of fraud. Mutual mistake must be proven by the high standard of "clear and convincing evidence", as opposed to the normal standard in civil cases of "preponderance of the evidence", and in general there's a heavy presumption that the text reflects the parties' intent. But "scrivener's error" is often a valid basis for showing a mutual mistake. It depends on the quality of the evidence; also, the standards vary somewhat by jurisdiction.
> Good news is, there are no obvious bond market bogeymen on the horizon in the very near-term.

I actually see one. it depends on your definition of near term, but in march of next year Tesla has alot of debt coming due. This debt is convertible(to stock) at around $350ish.

However, reportedly, this debt allows tesla to raise the conversion rate such that it can convert the debt to equity at any rate it wants.

I haven't verified that but I thought its an interesting thesis:)

No. Unless there's a non-compete clause, which is yet another problem.
The idea behind sharding is to essentially parallelize the blockchain by splitting the one big chain into many smaller chains which can communicate with each other asynchronously. This is a really difficult problem for countless reasons but if they can get it working it offers a lot of very important benefits. It can process orders of magnitude more transactions than a conventional blockchain without the loss of decentralization seen in schemes using dPoS such as Steem, light clients get to be much lighter while still maintaining high security, and smart contracts which live on an individual shard and do not require cross shard communication are massively more efficient and can operate at a far lower cost than smart contracts currently can. The last issue is probably the most important for Ethereum specifically because currently most smart contracts simply cost too much to operate limiting their usefulness. Much lower operating costs greatly expands their realistic use cases. If you'd like a detailed writeup I'd recommend reading the Sharding FAQ https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Sharding-FAQs
"$528 million in six month" sounds a lot worse than what the report itself says, namely

Cash outflow from operating activities in Q2 2018 was $130 million, which was significantly better than outflows of $398 million in Q1. This improvement occurred
despite a substantial increase in finished goods vehicle inventory of $579 million as a result of the
timing of deliveries.
My way of dealing with this is to treat symbols as proxies for the verbal concept, rather than just some letters. As an example, when I see "E = mc^2" I read (energy-of-object) = (mass-of-object) * (speed-of-light)^2 and not "Eee equals Em Cee Square". Another great idea I use a lot when writing/reading is David Mermin's 2nd rule (verbalize the damn equation!) [1].

It's sad that many mathematical resources do not make a careful effort of helping someone reason verbally. I guess this is partly due to the fact that most people who are skilled in the subject and write about it prefer equational reasoning (for lack of a better word) to verbal reasoning! In my experience as a physics instructor for non-STEM majors, this might be one of the biggest impediments for otherwise intelligent people trying to learn math/physics.

Talk about living in a bubble. +everything drdaeman@ said above.

There are more people using WhatsApp in India (thanks to popularity of image/video/voice-messages) than who can actually read or have usable Bank accounts. If you think they can pay "$1" for something they can get for free (and have been using for free in past), then you are completely out of touch of reality. Apart from the amount (which is not trivial btw), there is no concept of digital payment for masses.

Also I know it's hard for HN crowd to understand, but the concept of paying to protect "Privacy" is completely foreign for majority of the users in the world. I can guarantee you majority of the users (at least in India) will happily let you track them, show targeted ads at them, give you all the personal details you need, heck even give your their Genome for for free without even blinking an eyelid. And I am not saying this is just because of ignorance on their part, but rather "Who cares if they track me" - I get free services in return.

And this is actually not a bad setup really (again I know HN crowd will get their pitchforks out at it): Show Ads to provide actual free services (like WhatsApp, Google search, Maps, etc) to the masses. It's much better IMO then charging for these services and never have the masses be able to use them (like "GPS" would be a premium service for rich people).

It makes even more sense when you realize it's volume that triggers anti-competitive laws.
> Because Siri was getting behind, they now market themselves, directly or not, as privacy friendly.

I think you need to justify your statement a bit more, as right now, it amounts to baseless speculation.

Apple's entire ecosystem is designed with privacy in mind, and they've consistently doubled down on it every time. Consider the Secure Enclave - Apple would be able to profit quite a bit if they harvested their users' data, but they have long since made the choice to encrypt it with a per-device key that is effectively impossible to extract.

Combined with their spats with the government to avoid decrypting or introducing backdoors, I think you would be very hard-pressed to find a company or culture that values user privacy more than Apple.

This isn't something they've done because Siri was falling behind. This is what caused Siri to fall behind.

In my opinion, if it only possible to lend to someone at usurious interest rates, we're trying to paper over more serious problems with lending (e.g., the person may need the money for some necessity of life but cannot really afford whatever it is)

This is interesting, since Elon Musk has claimed to have written the first ever point-to-point directions software at Zip2, founded in 1995:

Seems bit odd to risk a scam (and the attention it brings along) if you are generating $45M revenue. I would rather just pay out and keep under the radar, considering that the company seems shady enough as-is.
"The finance charge ranges from $15 to $30 to borrow $100."

Paul Newman gave one of those Daytonas away to his daughter's boyfriend. He was working on a backyard treehouse years ago.

It ended up selling for 17 million recently.

I do find it amazing how the wealthy spend their "hard" earned money. Yes--quotes. If I had my way, they would be taxed heavily, like WW2 tax rates.

My only satisfaction is knowing that Rolex has a movement not made exclusively by Rolex, and the fat arm it will end up on will never have the charisma of Newman.

It's been almost a week but I still wanted to thank you for your long and detailed reply.

I also felt that self-hosting could bring security issues to the table where nothing was before... but of course the huge savings in other fronts might compensate the extra work. In any case, that's a good looking setup you have there!
It's pretty relevant though. The article is completely unreadable for me unless I disable images. I don't understand the mindset of someone putting huge gifs everywhere in their article, that is something a small child would do, not someone that wants to be taken seriously.

True in all accounts. I guess we need stronger discipline then :)

I am working it out with this approach: no social network apps, turned off all notifications (however the red dots over app icons bother me still), uninstalled email app (I do check it on demand using the browser email app), airplane mode at night, off the pocket most of the weekend.

My biggest concern is that using a phone killed my reading habit. I guess reading short shallow posts is the actual problem. Really pissed about it. I try to read a book and my attention span lasts for a couple of minutes. I tried kindle to keep the form factor. No luck :( I used to read a lot, a lot!
YouTube Red is still not available in my country. 3 years after launch, it’s only available in 17 countries.

Also YouTube has all the music that people care about and given the success of streaming services I’m going to guess that its lack of success has nothing to do with people not wanting to pay.
Show HN: Saas Ninja – sales, monitoring and development tools for Saas Products
Hey HN I’m Daniel, a fullstack developer from Sydney Australia and founder at Saas Ninja (https://saasninja.io/).

Saas Ninja provides a suite of simple tools/APIs on a monthly subscription basis that help Product Teams sell, monitor and develop their Saas Products.

The idea for Saas Ninja came during my last employment contract working for a startup. We needed a number of monitoring tools for our product and each provider I researched was often over-complicated for what we wanted and was priced more towards a monitoring connoisseur than a startup developer. With looming deadlines and minimal funding, I couldn’t justify building them ourselves, yet I also didn’t want to pay $40/month every time we needed a new tool. Saas Ninja solves this problem by providing a suite of Sales, Monitoring and Development tools for a single monthly subscription payment. The tools are all accessible through a standard API which means one integration point, and hopefully means your team can get right back to focusing on core business. My intention is to provide low cost, reliable and basic functionality that is easy to understand and distraction free. I want to build Saas Ninja up to be the AWS of value-add Sales, Monitoring and Development APIs.

This is my first developer-focused product launch. I’ve read a lot about how this market is very different so I’m excited to learn as much as I can. Please feel free drop your feedback below or if you have a minute fill out this Google form link (there's only 5 questions):
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfCdmfzNeh2MgnyjPg0...

This is the Public Beta release and all accounts have limited free access to an initial suite of 10 tools for this launch. Please have a look around and hopefully I hear from you soon.

BTW Today also happens to be my 35th birthday ;)

I know you can have a workspace and edit local files via Chrome, but is there really no simple way to "close the loop" and sync the devtools changes to a local file?

This extension is a nice step in that direction but still involves copy/paste and editing.
Coinbase is the most user-friendly crypto exchange for non-technical users. It more closely resembles an online banking experience that most people are used to. On this point, I have to agree with the author.

I'm pretty sure he didn't fix every security problem on his first day of work. Once a company gets big enough every change ends up being an ordeal of organizing all stakeholders and getting them to agree and giving them time to update their own systems so they won't be broken when the change happens, etc...

Thanks for the suggestion. Although to be honest I try that from time to time and I don't feel comfortable there at all either.
Coinbase volumes spiked due to an insane spike in the price of Bitcoin. Starting your measurement on the peak of that spike seems likely to bias any trends. A better question is what does coinbase's volume look like if you measure 12 months from today or 24 months from today? [0]
