Without short sellers or another market mechanism to call bullshit on over-inflated and over-hyped investments, capital will be badly allocated.

You're imagining some future where because of shorts we don't put enough money into TSLA and never have electric cars. That's not how this works.

With shorts (if the short sellers are right) TSLA is full of it, and capital is much better allocated at BMW, Toyota, or some other car startup, and the sooner everyone finds that out and moves their money over or stops inflating TSLA the better.

The Neon Neon album about Musk is going to be straight fire.
There was a season of This Old House from a couple years ago where they were putting together a kind of pre-fab house. It was somewhat custom, but all the walls and floors and things were made into panels, and assembled in a factory, indoors. They could also set up the wiring and plumbing in the wall panels while at the factory, instead of having to drill into things afterwards in the field. They then just shipped the panels to the site, and basically snapped them together. it was crazy how fast they came together once the panels and stuff were on site.
I mean what would be the argument in his defense. I'll update my question.

Capital allocates to what is best for the markets, not what is best for the world. I can't breath shareholder returns. We can't wait for BMW and Toyota to cannibalize their internal combustion product lines with EVs because it's not financially convenient for them (runaway climate change, all that jazz [1]). Traditional manufacturers have no incentive to disrupt the status quo and instead, continue to churn out internal combustion vehicles.

This is no new news. When I was 17, I had all the signs of an appendicitis. But I really feared to go to the hospital. I read through some medical books where they mentioned that after 72 hours of pain things can get real dangerous. I found some old antibiotics in the house (well beyond their date), took them and after 48 hours the apendicitis was gone.

When I was 34, appendicitid struck again. I new instantly that I had it, and this time I did not fear the hospital. This time, I wanted to avoid hospital because we were just a few weeks from moving to a new house. So I took antibiotics again, measured the fever, noted every measurement point in Excel but after 36 hours I found that it was not getting any better. So finally I took advantage of my wonderful German health insurance and got the appendix brilliantly removed...

Just want to state: there are times when antibiotics work and times when they do not.
I don't see how anyone could have a hard time using lambdas... they've been around forever, and most programming languages nowadays have them.

A good rule of thumb is given by the google python coding guidelines [1]:

"Okay to use them for one-liners. If the code inside the lambda function is any longer than 60-80 chars, it's probably better to define it as a regular (nested) function."

And yet Gates is gone, and Microsoft is still here. And Jobs is gone, but Apple is still here.

Just 24 hours after writing this comment, Cloudflare have announced the Cloudflare Registrar, which is a security-first registrar that isn't just for big corporates.

I don’t agree with many things Harari has written/said but he’s in the right ballpark and I like his comprehensive approach. Some of it really calls back to Bucky Fuller (and Marshall McLuhan). Bucky once said:

> We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian-Darwinian theory, he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.
It would be interesting if China offered Musk their resources if he really gets banned from holding an executive position at Tesla.
The thing that ... supported all that innovation and works hard (though it's currently not doing that great) at keeping the economy in check.
From what I understand, and I'm sure I'm using the wrong terminology, they got loans to run the company using Tesla stock, and if the value dips below a certain amount, the loan terms say they need to be repaid with cash instead of stock.

Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse

It's all about the making of Apocalypse Now. It's really great, I'd say it's almost as good as Apocalypse Now the movie itself. The mental state of the characters and what it took to make this movie blew my mind.

Buttons are sort of a pathological example. Most components in a web app are container-like things, with collections of a couple of buttons and other things that need to have a cohesive look, internal and external positioning, etc. And how often do you end up with one large, crufty CSS class for each of those, or a handful that are closely tied to each other and the markup anyway? Frameworks like this allow you to easily move that gunk from the CSS to the HTML.

>It's just ... nice SciFi but not Trek.

I don't know, I'm kind of getting tired of the Trek template. It can be nice to take a risk now and then.

They did that with Deep Space Nine and that turned out to be one of the best series IMO. Voyager, on the other hand, stuck to it so much that they ruined their own premise, as did Enterprise.
That was an impression I’ve gotten. I’m not sure if it’s true.
Ousting Elon Musk will only make Tesla's eventual takeover of the auto industry take longer. Tesla will have a "John Scully" character who ruins/devalues the whole company to the point where Elon can buy it back, then he will take the company so far that it makes every other auto manufacturer obsolete.
I pay $150/month for a crew of two to clean my 2200sqft house every other week. It's so worth it, even just so I don't have to clean the shower anymore. But really, the better benefit is more time to spend with my kids and work on other things.
The difference with Gates and Jobs is Tesla has not delivered, i.e. it has not become profitable enough to guarantee success in the future. At this point he's indispensable. (There is also the thought that without him Tesla does not have an advantage vs cheaper competitors from all around the world)
There's no amusement in yelling "fire!" in a theatre unless you enjoy watching people panic.

I can imagine this striking him as "haha, wouldn't it be funny if..." and tweeting it out without thinking. I don't think that makes it okay, but it's easy to imagine it not being motivated by the same psychopathic intention as yelling "fire!" in a theatre.

I'm not defending his behaviour; I guess part of my unease here comes from how a lot of people treat twitter as an externalized stream of consciousness, and how that has a strange interaction, especially with things like SEC rules.
Fire Musk and the board could also risk a situation similar to Apple's board firing Steve Jobs.

Musk is taking too many chances with too many things, often unnecessarily, but without him Tesla could be trampled by the big carmakers in the coming years in the EV market.

Who at Tesla will still want to add rocket alloy to their cars to make them the safest ever cars? Chances are whatever new CEO they hire will see that as a huge cost-cutting opportunity to be "more in line with the rest of the industry."
Yeah I think it's important to be completely open about it since browser mining has a bad rep. Everyone trying it should know what happens as much as possible before just clicking 'mine'
>According to Musk, he calculated the $420 price per share based on a 20% premium over that day’s closing share price because he thought 20% was a “standard premium” in going-private transactions. This calculation resulted in a price of $419, and Musk stated tha the rounded the price up to $420 because he had recently learned about the number’s significance in marijuana culture and thought his girlfriend “would find it funny, which admittedly is not a great reason to pick a price.”

Wow, what a dumb thing to do and even dumber to admit to it.
>Microsoft wasn't over when Gates died?
When did Gates die?

On a more serious note, they left after significant pass over and forsight that they were stepping down. They were both profitable, and they were not forced to step down. When Steve Jobs left the first time he was forced to, Apple almost went out of business.

>somebody put me onto CNN's "lite" page the other day, and it's honestly a freaking joy to use.

That's neat, but I think having this with some lightweight, web-optimized static images would make this better without being detrimental to lightness.

Sometimes a picture does say a thousand words. A photograph of a person being interviewed is something that adds a lot to an article. Plus there's the whole photojournalism aspect that's lost in only keeping text.

It's not the images, per se, that make heavy pages heavy, after all. It's tons of JS that pulls in FSM knows what.
Maybe religion is the original augmented reality. Interesting way to think about it, anyway.
Ask HN: What's a secure domain registrar for small businesses?
The recent Zoho.com registrar issue made me realize that Namecheap might not be the best registrar for small companies, however, the big names like Cloudflare Secure Registrar and MarkMonitor are way out of range for small businesses.
I am an investor, and I have not lost trust (temporarily degraded perhaps, but certainly not irreparably!).

I also take the long view; Elon is instrumental to the long-term outcome for Tesla, our species, and our planet.
> It'll end up acquired,

Maybe. The main question is whether it will happen before or after bankruptcy (chapter 11 reorganization).
> If Elon Musk is removed as CEO at Tesla, Tesla is over.

What if Tesla's progress wasn't because of Musk, but in spite of Musk? He's chased away dozens of key people and his intolerance for criticism is well known. Apart from attracting cash, do you really think his contribution to the operation was that significant?

> I find it curious that an innovative American company pushing to help our carbon problem by going electric is so lambasted, shorted, constantly under attack.

Working towards a worthwhile cause does not mean nobody can call you out on bullshit. And he bullshits a lot.

> They definitely support wpa-e/radius because I've configured it and we use it in my my office.

Sure, and problems with RADIUS auth have been well documented. How much of the not seeing issues is simply a matter of users assuming your setup (or their phones or computers) is flakey? Issues with Mongo are also pretty well documented.

https://www.google.com/search?q=ubnt+mongo+issue

> The wap controllers are configurable for automatic firmware updating, so I don't know what the issue is with patching.

The issue with patching is that Ubnt is in a bad position. They're on their own completely to create and issue patches even for stock packages. That's just what happens when you distribute EOL'd software. So, sure, it's not that hard to apply patches* from Ubnt but it's a lot more work for Ubnt to generate these patches — and last I checked they were pretty well behind with the excuse of "there are no known exploits for ABC in the wild".

* Let's not forget the ER-X bootloader for which end users are entirely on their own. Ubnt has a patch but hasn't applied it to the devices they ship. It's just lazy and sloppy.
I just checked and "Limit ad tracking" was indeed turned off (thus enabling the unique identifier). However, I turned it off and reset the ID, reinstalled IG, created a new account and it still showed FB contacts.
If people actually cared, websites would be lighter. But they don't.

Yes, this community here does care, much like the experienced woodworker who nods approvingly when he sees <some old-fashioned, difficult, and slightly more elegant way to do something... I really have no idea about woodworking>.

Even in cases where people might agree that lighter pages are preferable, it's just not a priority.

I know that might appear wrongheaded. But I assure you there are dozens of things you do every day that would make a subject matter expert's hairs fall out: that's not how you're supposed to brush your teeth ... you have to wait for the engine to cool before measuring oil ...

...and, closer to home: websites should be accessible to people with impaired vision, among other things. This rant, however, scores rather low. It might seem trivial, but not adding an alt description to explain the image joke can make people feel excluded.
Amazon Route53
When people say medicinal cannabis doesn't "cure", they should read this. It helps people eat, sleep and be in a good mood and that provides foundation for willingness to fight. My view is that people who deny this medicine are criminals and should be brought to justice.
Elon's judgment has been compromised by intense stress combined by lack of sleep and he is now a detriment to Tesla. For the past several months he has been a complete PR disaster. If you want Tesla to succeed as I do, you should support his ouster.

If Tesla can't survive without Elon, then maybe it doesn't deserve to. A single point of failure that is one person is not a sustainable business.
I'm sure the mandatory training course will stop the terrorists from using their drones.

As much as the need for a driving license is stopping them from using cars as weapons.
See the other reply, if "Limit Ad Tracking" is enabled, this should not be possible, right?
I think the primary fear is that he’d be replaced with a visionless drone and the company would cease to push any kind of bar, sliding into the same sort of profitable stagnancy found at every other American carmaker.

The impact would be reduced now that the big guys are finally starting to take full electric seriously, but the impact would still be there. Without Tesla’s constant pressure I could see full BEV adoption being delayed by 5 years or more.
#Talos experts published technical details for other seven #VPNFilter modules
It did! But it seems fair to go with the earlier submission, so we did.
There are companies out there that offer proxies from 'real' US resident IP addresses. I think these companies use tactics like this to be able to offer real residential IPs (and not IP ranges belonging to hosting companies)

This is the first one that came up on google - https://stormproxies.com/ - I'm not saying that specific company is in any way related to this device or tactic (it is just the first on google for 'residential address ip proxy', but I think it is companies similar to this that will pay people for access to their routers and sell that access.
Fair enough, I just get irrationally annoyed when I see thoughtful comments be downvoted but you're right, I won't do it again.
It has been mentioned elsewhere in this thread that several people holding short positions exited automatically when the stock price temporarily spiked. They were definitely harmed, and in fact are already suing in a separate case.

If I, a not-inexperienced investor, briefly wondered if I should by a few more lots of TSLA based on the tweet, it is not unfathomable that someone actually clicked the “buy” button somewhere near the peak. In short, yeah, it would be trivial to demonstrate damage. Someone was buying those pricey shares before the drop.

EDIT: down $31 in after hours, hell, I’m thinking about suing. :-P
You should move to a different place. That's a sign that your culture (be that your acquaintances, neighborhood, city, state, country, or civilization) does not maintain an environment where you can be reasonably sure that your sacrifices will pay off, and it's easier to get by through stealing and corruption. If this is accurate, your culture will fester and die. Best to leave as soon as possible.
If Jobs hadn't of gone back to Apple in '97 after being fired in '85, they wouldn't be here today. Jobs was their last hope after Sculley made them mediocre. Apple was down to relying on a 150m investment from Microsoft in the late 90s (Aug 1997), that they probably only got because of Jobs [1]. I'd also argue everything that Jobs had created at NeXTSTEP became Apple and saved them [2]. The technology made it all the way into iPhone, you can see it in their libs still in Objective-C with the NS prefix [2]. Interestingly Jobs built successes in NeXTSTEP and Pixar while he was away from Apple for a decade, just like Musk has other companies.

It could be argued Ballmer almost killed Microsoft, but Bill Gates has had influence in the company all along on the board up until February 4, 2014 as the chairman of Microsoft. Microsoft returned to developer/engineering focused with Satya Nadella was made CEO in February 2014 after the marketing/bizdev focused Ballmer era that nearly made them irrelevant, and Nadella has turned it around entirely back to developer roots.

Tesla is an engineer first, I see that as way more beneficial than some operations or lifetime MBA / C-level executive running it, it will take the life right out of Tesla just like Baller at Microsoft or Sculley at Apple.

Note that Tesla requires a super-majority vote for major changes, and with Elon's ownership (as well as insiders who may toe the line) it would take an almost 90% vote.

https://www.thestreet.com/investing/stocks/how-elon-musk-con...

(Obviously the SEC can take action that supersedes those rules)

Even if Musk is removed, his votes give him an extraordinary amount of control over Tesla's day to day operations, until they change the supermajority rule (which in itself would require a vote subject to the rule)
True. The other day I was talking to my cousin and the conversation was something like:

She uses Instagram and Whatsapp everyday!

Either way, he committed something between gross negligence and fraud. He should be held accountable and isn't above the law just because some of us like the work his companies are doing.
