I have shares and you only lose money if you decide to sell the shares now - price might recover if you hold on to them and if you believe in Tesla's mission and value you might even think it's a good time to buy some more. (This is not financial advice)

But like I mentioned, I said he shouldn't have tweeted that message and should have consulted with his business partners first. I think he just wasn't thinking clearly of the consequences along with his other rather eratic tweets. I blame his lack of sleep and taking stuff like ambien...

I don't think he is a scammer and is all about making money. If you follow his history - he's an engineer and he wants to solve tough problems and wants to add value (see recent interview with Joe Rogan). What I would have liked to see more though is him mentioning his team and the brilliant people working at his companies.

SpaceX is about space technology and that technology can improve life here on Earth - see:

And there is nothing wrong with trying to find or create outer space habitats. We can improve life on Earth and build rockets at the same time, i.e. we have enough resources and minds to work on all these problems.

Take your goals, multiply them by 3 and then you exceed them anyway? That is a shocking indictment of your judgement.

Build a great idea? Yeah, we know the idea was great - because eBay was incredibly successful for 8 years before TaoBao was launched and was already in China. The success of Alibaba was it's understanding of the local market and customs, not some unique idea no one else had had.

What I think is also a little naive is this focus on the idea that it's really important to focus on the long term, and long term strategy and that quarter to quarter doesn't matter. This is just naive, it's necessary to success in a startup that you need to focus on the long term quite simply because that's where the pay off comes. But if you're running an existing stable business, you need to worry about the quarter to quarter too. Many many companies have repeated this mantra over the years, but it all falls apart when a few tough quarters come along and the CEO falls out of favour. For the long term to matter you need to have a long term.

Learn from competitors but never copy them? Is this a joke? I really don't know how anyone running a chinese eBay clone can say this with a straight face. It's fine, you ripped them off. MS ripped off Apple, Apple ripped of Xerox. It happens, but what is with this re-writing of history?

If one of the three or four configurations Apple sells is exactly the one you want, there isn't much or any premium. But if you make a fair comparison by picking a configuration at random (or e.g. pick a particular program that you want to run) then you can easily end up paying 50-100% more to get an Apple that does what you need.
I don't think he's a scammer at all - I think to him money is just a tool to achieve his mission, i.e. solving tough problems.

A nitpick, this would aimed at eliminating complete species rather than sub-species. There are thousands of species of mosquito, a handful of those species account for almost all transmission of mosquito-borne, human diseases. Almost all ecological niches would be filled by other species. The capability for human disease transmission would be greatly reduced but not - I think - completely eliminated.

There are reasonable worries about something like this but I'm in favour because malaria really does kill an awful lot of people. We have already massively changed insect populations around the world with land use changes, species introductions and pesticides (including the continuously needed mosquito control). Also, I would think that a gene drive that eliminates populations is self-limiting, to the extent that it works, whereas other genetic interventions would stay around indefinitely and be subject to mutation at any point.

Edit: I think the greatest ecological change would be as a consequence of the increase in human impact that followed the increase in wellbeing in the worst affected areas. I'm not going to begrudge that.
This one couldn't jump outside insects, perhaps specifically flies, it targets a specific gene mosquitoes have in common with the well studied fly Drosophila.

Which would be bad enough. These gene drives are extinction weapons. If they get into something with a wide range and high importance to any given ecosystem, well, I hope you took wildlife documentaries of it while it was still there.
> This seems like a good reason not to work somewhere.

I'm curious; why do you feel that way?
Caveat: I can’t read the article. I’m just riffing based on my knowledge of RE and personal experiences with tech.

As someone who’s researched real estate, I have a hard time seeing how tech can help the RE industry. For starters, RE bubbles have led to the worst economic downturns. If people can buy homes so easily that they can profit on making superficial changes, then prices will go up far above efficient. That pushes actual “householders” out of the market. Also, look at the dumpster fire that is Silicon Valley RE.

If I’m thinking of ways tech may help RE:

-Actually providing previously unavailable or unobservable information to buyers. Knowing a home will require expensive repairs soon would, in aggregate, help correct valuations. Alerting people of a home being in a flood plain, hurricane path, etc would help.

-Helping potential buyers with otherwise good credit but lacking some of the traditional requirements could help. But again that would probably also make flipping so easy and profitable to really screw up the market.

-Disrupting the contractor/developer industry could flush some seriously awful bad actors out.

-Making rent and RE cheaper would boost the long term wealth of the country - by diminishing the portion of household income devoted to RE. Particularly, rent. Rent shouldn’t be anywhere near comparable to mortgages. You never get to see rent money again. (Here’s an idea: make a “shitty apartment” insurance. People pay an upfront insurance cost on moving into a new apartment. In return, if at any time during the residence they want to break the lease for a “qualified reason” the insurance helps them negotiate the process and ponies exit costs. Eventually a complex’s insurance premium would be enough to signal to potential renters about a place.)
There are plenty of examples where these situations have been ameliorated over time. A great example to draw from in the west is the sectarian violence in Northern Ireland. In the end the solution was in large part to give the minority political representation, a real stake in the process and some necessary compromises to make peace.
Of course people do read old books. But I'm contending here that that is not most reading -- especially if we discount reading that is assigned.

> At least it's better than Electron, I guess. It seems ridiculous that Apple wouldn't put up the resources to implement these apps properly on macOS.

I'm confused. The resources already exist, it's called "implementing applications on macOS".

Marzipan is for iOS devs who want their existing application quickly running on macOS without actually porting it, either because there's some demand and they don't want to do macOS development or as a prelude to a proper port/cross-platform implementation.

Apple can't magick the void into the not-void, an iOS application works on different principles than a macOS one.

> Other maintainers made it clear that backward incompatible changes don't happen to the rules without broad consensus (of which there was none).

And this is the fundamental problem. The community had no idea how many people actually wanted blocks bigger than 1mb because everyone who voiced it was kicked out and labeled a scammer. The "bigger block" group was and continues to be massive. The 1mb group continues to be a minority.

Tesla's debt servicing cost 600 million yearly (Bill Cunningham estimates). It is producing Model 3s at a pace of 4k weekly (according to Bloomberg). Each represents 15kUSD in gross profit (according to Munro). It takes ten weeks to service the yearly debt using current Model 3 sales.

If these numbers are right, once Tesla proved to be able to produce Model 3s, it became financially stable. It will easily be able to roll-over bonds.

Except you are completely wrong with your hypothesis or understanding of the situation. This is an issue with Hacker News, so called armchair experts providing their analysis.

The majority are not complicit in anything. Fundamentalists have killed more muslims in a year in some of these countries than in total in the west or any other non Muslim country.

This rhetoric that somehow muslim populations don't cooperate with law enforcement when in fact they have been the greatest victims is frankly dishonest.

I think a lot of people would benefit from looking at the facts rather than trying to push their pseudoscientific theories on the internet.

The issue here is actually pretty clear cut. You have a stateless people systematically killed and eradicated by Buddhist extremists. I suggest people do a deep dive on the actual crisis.
Just a quick tip, if you are interested in Yocto, and especially Yocto on the Raspberry Pi: there's a layer called meta-updater[1], originally developed for Automotive Grade Linux, that lets you add over-the-air updates to your Yocto-built systems, and it supports Raspberry Pi. It uses OSTree[2] to give you atomic updates and nice, small update sizes. (The whole filesystem is a content-addressed object store that's hard-linked into the actual directory structure at boot time.)

There's also a guide[3] for doing this using HERE's servers for delivering your updates. It's free to use, but if you prefer a free-as-in-speech solution, you can either ignore the update client and run the updates yourself from a bare OSTree repo, or run the open-source community edition[4] of HERE's server software.

(Full disclosure: I work for HERE, and wrote the quickstart guide[3] I'm linking.)

EV can't be (shouldn't be) fully automated, but:

+ It may seem like it is if your organisation gets a bunch of EV certs with the same organisation info under some bulk deal. The issuer only does the expensive manual EV steps once per period, if you're Google in January then (the thinking goes) you are still Google in June. This saves them money so it enables them to offer pretty good deals for lots of EV certs.

+ Good EV providers streamline the manual stuff in countries like the US that have their government records online. A call centre employee can do the searches, pull up contact details and phone your Head Office or whoever to confirm in minutes not hours. However this also means they won't necessarily pick up on subtle clues like why is this outfit named Myba N K ? Oh! That's My Bank but with misleading capitalisation and spacing.

+ White hats toying with EV discovered that outfits like D&B relied on in the business community to verify identity are... Not very reliable. If D&B says the Head Office is at 632 Wall Street that might be because somebody filled out a web form, not because D&B agents even checked 632 Wall Street exists let alone that the company has offices there...
