The valuation started climbing the second half of the year after the good production and sales numbers were published. But it had already plateaud, then the China megafactory presentation happened and the little dance that Elon made, seemed to help grab some attention there.
This is enterely my (completely ignorant) guess, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the least, if most of the recent shares buyers were chinese.
Is there any way to look were the buy orders are coming from?
Not necessarily! German government debts, even the long 10 year ones, have ventured into negative interest area.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look.
I'm not sure what this has to do with Kerrisk. Software maintainers just need to simply add examples of using the software they use. They know best how it works, I don't know why this has to be met with so much friction. Like not posting images of your new game/image library. People want examples of stuff.
There were about a half-dozen new homes that went up in my neighborhood last year. The odds of them having any measurable effect on property values are near zero, but lots of people complained because the houses were architecturally different from what was there, and above average square-footage for the neighborhood.

I've seen people spend 15 years tying up renovations for a church in the courts.

I heard of another case not too far from me where someone assaulted a neighbor because they didn't like the new (very modernist) front porch remodel.

I think a large fraction of NIMBYism is a reflexive pushback against any change to the area in which one lives.

FWIW, I also have no doubt that there are investors who intentionally stoke those emotions to get favorable policies.
I'm sorry, I meant to mark another submission as duplicate. I reverted my change but the title still says "[dupe]" for some reason.
i totally agree, i was being overly terse. To me, if something is working well then you should do more of it but, yes, you have to manage risk and see the whole picture. Like everything, it's a balance.

It's counter intuitive but in downturns consulting can tick up. The first place companies go to look to reduce cost is headcount but the work still has to get done. In come the consultants to implement a new system to increase efficiency and reduce headcount (it rarely turns out that way though). Also, I think it's easier to finance money for consultants than FTEs because of where the expense falls on the accounting books.

Perhaps schools should just be built with temporaries? It seems like there are no schools that are ever the right size. They either close the 100m school that was built 10 years ago because they don't need it or they need 100m to build a new one.
Based on my experience, the problem may be that man pages are often not where one learns how to use a tool. I still remember from long, long ago when I told a greybeard that I was trying to learn sed by reading the man page. He replied, "God help you," and guffawed.

While some man pages have examples, I don't know if man page writers see their job as teaching readers how to use a utility. The goal of man pages more often seems to be _reminding_ a person already familiar with the tool how to use a tool.

I'm, umm, _reminded_ of project READMEs. I've come to assume that when I go to a project on GitHub, I'm going to get everything I need (or pointers to everything I need) to get started with a project, but often there's a project web site that is intended to serve that purpose. I just ran into this yesterday with Falcor.

Not all man pages are like this obviously. Specifically, the section three man pages on C functions do a good job fully documenting functions.
Short selling against stock you own is
called short sell against the box.

>A "short sell against the box" is also known as "shorting against the box." Sellers use this technique when they do not actually want to close out their position on a stock. The strategy is generally used by investors who believe the stock is due for a fall in price, but do not wish to sell because they believe the fall is temporary and the stock will rebound quickly.

I am ready for an electric vehicle - but I can't get over how much I dislike the interior of the Model 3 and Y. I hate the single-giant-touchscreen interface they have settled on. I get it, it's cheap for them to produce and it looks 'futuristic.' I firmly believe physical knobs and buttons are better for most things in a car. The Model S and Model X are better, but they're pretty much out of my price range.

I also want a proper SUV/truck - the Model X/Y don't cut it, and don't get me started on the cybertruck...
If you can do basic electrical wiring, you may still need to get a permit and have the change inspected. What exactly is needed is highly jurisdiction dependent.

If you are not handy, it requires hiring an electrician to make the change (~$100-500)

Chevys reputation is dogshit and compared against Tesla for quality innovation/brand the contrast is night and day.

They also ran those absurd car commercials for the last decade or so about "real people, not actors" which were spoofed so well on YouTube that I think they actually damaged their brand.
Unless a house does generate income it is a liability.

I think most people underestimate this. There are some many people who can't pay their mortgage while they thought the house was an asset.

The only competitors are going to be the new car companies because they will adopt the same model Tesla has where they own their own dealerships.

The general form of your argument is correct, however existing automobile companies aren't all wedded to their dealer networks. Volvo (which is now owned by Geely in China) took their Polestar performance brand and launched an entire automobile brand a few years ago.

They now have a Polestar 1 performance hybrid coupe, and are taking orders for their Polestar 2 small sedan that will compete with the Tesla Model 3.

And when I say, "taking orders," I mean over the web. You cannot buy or lease a Polestar automobile in a Volvo dealership.

I think Tesla has a lot of technical advantages that throw up barriers to competition from existing manufacturers, and there is no doubt that from a management perspective, these companies are their own worse enemy.

But the dealer network thing I think is a much weaker moat than it appears at first glance. I think it's a lot easier for an existing company to sell cars direct--possibly under a new marque--than it may seem.

There are problems of institutional inertia and lobbying and so on to overcome, but for some manufacturers, like Volvo, selling cars without a dealership just happened, without fanfare.

Are they a "new car company?" I don't think it matters that the cars they sell online are called "Polestar," and the ones in their dealership are called "Volvo."
Disparate outcomes on a spreadsheet organised by categories like sex and race are assumed to indicate only the presence of oppression and therefore something to be fixed by controversial affirmative action policies and other discriminatory practices. Incremental progress towards artificial 50/50 ratios of biological characteristics are lauded as unambiguous social goods - these are the "warm and fuzzies" alluded to above. I'm not denying that oppression plays some role in disparate outcomes, but I object to it being presented, as it plainly is, as the only major factor. The reality is highly multivariate.
With Go, the ability to instantly read docs for anything (even just pulling docs for a single function) in terminal is extremely helpful and far superior to a HTML-only approach. "go doc net/http.Client" pulls up the docs for the http client type.

It's one of the features I miss most as I code Rust, and the lack is very detrimental to the coding experience, as pulling up a browser is a massive context switch.

The man who wrote one of environmentalism’s most-cited essays was a racist, eugenicist, nativist and Islamaphobe—plus his argument was wrong
from that link:
>“We are encouraged by Tesla’s execution and think it deserves to be among the world’s most valuable auto companies, and is perhaps the most important auto company in the world given its EV leadership. However, we think investors will be presented with more attractive opportunities to own the stock in the future,” Jonas said.

It's that "opportunities to own the stock in the future part" that got me. People just want to own the stock. Tesla has gotten big enough so it is pretty unlikely to fail. Customers love the product, there are several "it is the future" features. People want to own a part of that. I don't think many people are selling because of that. Even if it is really expensive right now.

That is thinking like an adult, though. First, hook kids on the joy of creating something interactive THEN they can develop the rigor to improve and learn more so they can do more. But if they start by hunting for missing semicolons they aren't going to want to bother continuing. Typing and syntax aren't programming anyway, just the most common input method.

I started coding by copying BASIC programs out of magazine (the olden days) and it was excruciating as a child limited by attention and focus. I never really learned anything about why things worked or didn't until much older. Slapping things together for fun and extending things to try new ideas seems way more effective to me.
They come out of your rent, yes, but at least in markets with low supply (think the Bay Area), your rent is not being set by the presence of property taxes and repairs.

That is, if we raised everyone's property taxes by 0.2% or so, approximately speaking, no one's rent would go up.

Property is a decent investment, commercial and industrial you can expect to see nice returns and all expenses are pushed to the tenant. When renting homes, its usually about getting your tenants to pay off the mortgage and then you have excellent monthly recurring revenue streams, of course you can then sell your 100k+ assets whenever you want.
That doesn't help competitors very much. Tesla has figured out batteries - no other manufacturer is even close on the naked range of any Tesla model.
It's key to include false starts and promising paths that dead end. Learning to explore unknown solution spaces and refine the domain of the problem itself are critical skills in any open ended problem.

Spending an entire school lifetime being taught to "solve" "problems" and then being confronted with a world where problems aren't defined and solutions are ad-hoc and piecemeal is a rude awakening.

The strategies that made us a good students and made us feel good and smart in school aren't the same strategies that make for a good employee and those strategies set new devs up to fail when they can't "see the answer" to the current jira ticket they are tasked with.

You can get margin rates as low as a mortgage or even substantially lower[1]. If you don't want to switch brokers you can also ask your current broker for a discounted margin rate. I've heard anywhere from $250k to $1m total assets is enough for them to consider discounts. However, margin calls are a lot more terrifying than foreclosure proceedings, that's for sure. As such, it's virtually imperative to appropriately hedge and that should be factored into the cost of borrowing.

I think that's an extremely reductionist, and honestly objectively false characterization of what's happened. And it is that very perspective that has caused them to do this in the first place. These people had real and genuine concerns that were not being addressed by anyone other than Trump.

Globalization hollowed out the middle of the country for the benefit of the coasts. This has been more or less the explicit economic agenda of the last 30 years. We can certainly debate whether this has been a net positive for the world, but there is no debate that it has been a net negative for the middle states in the US that voted overwhelmingly for Trump.
True, but regardless it's too late. I'd just accepted Alyx as the third major installment of Half-Life, that's really what I meant.

Technically there were the episode releases too, and so it doesn't really hold up to scrutiny. I just liked the idea that they released one full game on schedule befitting the name.
As Amazon demonstrated quite convincingly, profit is not an appropriate number to value fast growing companies by.

Tesla may or may not be another Amazon, but revenue is the best heuristic we have for any company investing so much into growth. It's not a great heuristic, but it's the best we have.
VW had a similar short run up.

This is my problem with YIMBYism. It’s entirely possible for tons of housing to be built and for that housing to serve as a speculative asset for private equity, as a foreign cash store, or be used for money laundering. In fact, because were living in an age of massive inequality, flat wages, low interest rates, and QE-driven distortion, there’s material incentive to do this instead of building what the vast majority of people need.

Any comprehensive housing plan has to be rooted in building more AND cutting out all of this global Capital chicanery. I see lots of advocacy for the former and little for the latter.

Interesting project!

One question: Does this have any access control built in? Otherwise, anyone could change anything in database from browser.
I think this topic could be generalized to say that

(a) People are scared of change, and particularly change that doesn't benefit them directly but offers potential risks (this is a rational outlook, of course)

(b) Our society tends to operate in a low-trust manner, with this trust level dropping by the year. Maybe once upon a time, communities would feel satisfied that if the schools get crammed, we can expand the school and hire teachers. That if the roads are crammed, we can build infrastructure to alleviate traffic. Nowadays people have no trust that our institutions can handle the rate at which infrastructure is needed.

Putting together (a) and (b), as an individual the most rational policy is one of change nothing. The neighborhood was already great, why are you trying to rock the boat? What if you ruin everything?

> But that conversation never happens. It is _always_ greedy homeowners who worry only about their house price at the expense of everyone else. As long as the conversation is framed that way, I don't think it will every move forward.

On HN maybe, every local forum or town-hall I've seen it's the other way around.
Because we aren't selecting random people from a district, we aren't a democracy? That seems like a strange opinion to have, especially since the definition of democracy is fairly vague, covering basically any system where the people have the authority over their government. And I'd say electing Obama and then Trump, over the screaming temper tantrums of the two separate parties, is good evidence the people still hold authority.
Are you American? because that's the most anti American thing.
In the interests of public good, the US government ought to mandate a charging standard that all electric cars use, and force all charging stations to use that.

You don't need to go to special BMW gas stations.

In the same way we don't allow movie studios to own movie theaters anymore, we oughtn't allow car companies to own electrical charging stations.

Ford’s autobiography is good. One thing I learned from it is that the trajectory of Ford matched Tesla’s.

Ford started out making cars for the high end. No one wanted cars until they could win races. Then everybody wanted cars.

Tesla is a luxury brand for now. Will it be in a decade? I wouldn’t take that bet.

Is ... that really true? That (traditional) car dealers discourage purchase of low-maintenance cars? As you note, that seems like a dangerous case of misaligned incentives between the manufacturer/driver vs dealer.
I think the GP is implying some of Teslas customers are buying Tesla vehicles for the same reasons.

I think I'd generally agree with that sentiment, there's certainly a fair amount of people who are buying into the zero emissions dream that Elon is selling and purchasing their vehicles (at least in part) to bring that dream closer to reality. I can't imagine many Ford customers buying into the "Ford future" but I see it with Tesla.

> It seems like there are no schools that are ever the right size.

Maybe every city shouldn't be chasing constant huge growth? And that for cities that do chase constant huge growth, they should plan and build the infrastructure for it before inviting a bunch of people and property developers in?

We have lots of schools here that are the "right size". But that's in-part because we have ~0.3% population growth year-over-year, instead of say the 3.0+% YoY pop growth that somewhere like Seattle often sees. Population growth isn't a bad thing, but it should be built and planned for, not just dumped into a place and expected for everything to "just work out OK".

Well if you aren't investing in property as a principle residence, then relocating is moot. You can still get a huge amount of value investing into the housing market looking to cash flow, not buy your potential forever home.

And, so long as you don't any old house on the market, but instead take your time, do your research, and expect to hold it for longer than 10 years, your risks are substantially lower. Which is true for a lot of investing. Time in market is king. And it doesn't matter how long you spend in the market if you buy ignorantly for well over market value.
