Depending on your time horizon, I recommend 3 pots:

1) Need in the next 1-2 years - Money market account

2) 3-7 years - value funds (either ETF or Mutual funds)

3) 7+ - growth funds (either ETF or Mutual funds)

Individual stocks take effort to watch. Make sure you do not buy just before a dividend (you will pay tax on the money they give back to you). Watch for bad news, so you can pull your money before they go bankrupt.

ETF are lightly managed, your money grows as that segment grows. Which is not a bad idea.

Mutual funds - someone is actively watching it. Which can hopefully mean it avoids a bad turn, but it can burn money being churned.

Safest bet is an EFT that tracks the S&P 500

I expect Real Estate funds to take a gut punch when things open up and the businesses fold and they have no rent coming in. So I plan to put money there, after it falls.

California is still the best place to start a startup, because the ecosystem and early adopters are so important.

But Tesla is not at that stage: it was able to create a new factory in China in half a year, and already has a strong brand recognition, so California has its pros and cons.
Zero vaccines in the entire history of coronaviruses. For the well-known reason that the viruses mutate, so a vaccine against seasonal variant A does not work against new variant B.
Very much this! Depends what one considers "cool" I guess. If sending cars to the orbit is "cool", one might need a lot of money indeed.

This is a completely manufactured problem. The best part is they could've kept their money making cosmetics but still let people self host servers.
I don't want to simplify it too much, but there is a lot money on the line. And after that, there is legacy to think of. Humanity takes a back seat to those two.
> It will happen again

Of course it will. For several reasons, not the least of which is that China turned back on the wildlife wet markets already. Just like they did after SARS. We should encourage them to modernize their food supply so this is not necessary.

Not sure what data you're referring to. The article I saw in early March said that ridership was down over 70% in Manhattan vs only 15-20% in Queens and Brooklyn. Those numbers have now apparently fallen much further, but I've not seen a breakdown by Burrow.

A lot of those superstars would love to get out of California if they would get the same salary in absolute amount. Usually companies make the mistake of ,,adjusting for cost of living'', and then of course they will find most talent in the most expensive cities.
One of the promises about flying cars was speed: you would theoretically be able to live in LA and commute to SF. So there was definitely some amount of disruption talk.

With that said, this is sort of the point: SDVs would be close to arms reach of pedestrians virtually all the time, so I'd imagine that when all is said and done, the safety/regulatory barrier ought to be an extremely high hurdle to overcome.

There are many things that we can talk about in terms of "if only X was solved, that would change the world" (e.g. X being the cure for cancer, or X being singularity, etc). But the devil is of course in the details: until we know what X is, it _could_ be a single breakthrough but it most likely is a nearly insurmountable wall of a million factors). For SDVs, X is L5 autonomy.
I agree with Elon here, many California policies are over the top and it seems more laws, taxes, and other restrictions are constantly popping up.

I've always thought of "card shark" as a common American mishearing of the correct phrase "card sharp." Like saying "mute point" instead of the correct "moot point" or "take a different tact" for the correct "take a different tack."
"gmail" is so ubiquitous that it just doesn't mean anything anymore

That doesn’t explain how Gmail became ubiquitous. Back when it started, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL were very popular (among many others). Since it was not yet ubiquitous, Gmail’s ubiquity could not be an explanation for success.
That sounds accurate.

Conversely, there are also poor people that still care about education and use what they have to push their kids to succeed.

In the late 1990s, I lived near an apartment block with many Vietnamese immigrants who were poor (worked at min. wage or below in asian restaurants for crazy long hours), knew very little English, and they had almost no stuff since they arrived with a few suitcases. Despite this, most of their kids ended up graduating, and those who got scholarships went to community college or state college and those that couldn’t got jobs to support their families. These kids had few resources, but they had a work ethic. They had a lot of responsibility from a young age.

The neighbors of those kids whose parents were poor and already Americans (raised here) - those kids turned out more like your neighbor. Zero motivation, zero responsibility, parents gave such little of a shit about everything, dropped out of school, and held random min. wage jobs in brief spurts until they would get fired for no-showing.

Idk...it was such a jarring contrast to see. Both groups started poor from the same place, yet one group turned themselves into something and the other group just already gave up without even trying.

On what grounds? You don't like how he tweets?

He has built a $150 billion company from the ground up, is 5-7 years ahead of his competitors, in a sector where it is nearly impossible to survive.

The company has dramatically accelerated the shift to electric vehicles.

You don't like him? Don't follow him on twitter or buy the stock or products. Otherwise, he seems not to dissimilar from most neuro-atypical founders I know

Third floor has been closed for as long as I've been going (since around 2014), I assume that it's in disrepair or can't be staffed reasonably.
I guess if it works for them, they see no reason to change. Free housing, food, money for the luxuries they want, what more could someone ask for? The 'successful' people work themselves to death and stress out to gain some things that are a bit nicer, but not enough to justify all the bother.
Another way to look at it is that the world has gotten crazier than Elon.

> false claims about constitutional guarantees of limitless freedom

I don't know that i saw that tweet. Was this referring to first amendment freedom of assembly?
You seem to be attacking an argument I did not make.

I agree that the ability to have a conversation should be honored by the broader society, hence why I dislike Twitter outrage culture.

This is separate from whether there would be consequences for your employment at a company wishing to minimize negative PR around itself.

So to reiterate, his ability to have the conversation outside of work should absolutely be tolerated and protected. Within a work environment however, it is currently unreasonable to expect the same free speech rights as one is guaranteed from the state, regardless of my opinion that this should not be the case.

Therefore getting dismissed should not be a surprising outcome.
The new HQ will likely be in Austin. There is already a lot of engineering talent there.
That is not in fact what I'm trying to say. Sorry you wasted so much time replying to a point I wasn't making.
1. I wonder if he'll actually do this, or if this is brinkmanship to extract some concessions from Cali.

2. If he really does do this, I would assume that he would move into the Reno/Carson City area because that's where the factory is. If this is the case, then he really needs to throw his weight around to loosen restrictions on building new residential housing in the area, whether than takes the form of fewer parking spaces per building, reducing the amount of setbacks, or both. Both rent and housing are very expensive there.
Very cool. It looks like it is written in Lua using sdl and some stb single file libraries.

It's not a problem, but it does send a signal--probably one that is a slight benefit as an adult in a technical line of work, but it might send a different signal for let's say, a teenager who is already struggling to fit in with peers.

Sure someone could follow just a few simple steps found on the internet, but why does that person even care to?

1) His factory cannot get moving, due to restrictions, he's using a populist platform to make sure people know it's not his fault, and to put pressure on the county.

2) He's using Twitter a little bit like Trump - saying somewhat inflammatory things, tapping into an emotional vein, possibly garnering support from fanboys, making noise.

Twitter it seems, is a place where statements don't have to be fully true or real. It's like an 'emotional landscape' where people can push the buttons of the masses and get away with it.

A lot of people in the investor class right now are upset their stocks are falling, they see the pandemic is not as bad as predicted and they want everyone back to work. Many working people feel similarly. But a larger group of people, especially those in difficult conditions, are rightly afraid; the 'meatpacking plants' in various places have had huge covid outbreaks and some deaths, in Canada it's been a serious source of outbreak. There's no reason to believe it won't be the same anywhere else.

But Elon is missing something in his rants: if and when the factory does startup, there will be a COVID outbreak on some level and there is a very high chance that a Tesla employee somewhere, somehow will die from COVID. Now it may not be 'his fault' but it won't matter.

If Elon is seeing as being unsympathetic and not concerned about his staff - and - someone dies from Covid (one way or another, possibly not even really related to his policy) - then it could blow up and backfire on him in an existential way.

CNN: "Elon Musk forces people back to work; 2 dead from Covid"
- is the kind of stain that does not come off.

Elon needs to spend a lot more time publicly demonstrating empathy and showing materially how he is working protecting his workers.

Using Makefiles to remember long Docker commands
He seems pretty much the same to me, honestly. Everything he is doing seems either to the benefit of the companies he is building, or personally weird but ultimately harmless.

Moving out of a state that won't let you run your business seems like a very savvy move for a person whose job is running a business and growing it as quickly as possible (which he would say is in order to accelerate the shift to a sustainable energy future, which you can agree with or not)

I'm genuinely confused by the animosity
He has said that he may be bipolar so probably he's just manic.
I normally flag every HN article about an Elon tweet, but as this is directly related to business of a tech-oriented company, I think it actually qualifies as "hacker news" not "inane spewing of nonsense".

Also, if he thinks that any judges will side with him against health authorities making decisions on the basis of reasonable scientific evidence (which is what CA is doing), I think he's mistaken. However, and I think there's a big however here- I think Elon has been making friends with Trump and hopes that Trump will lend him some support here.
He should be careful, in this pace, he might get elected president.
> Low orbit sats spend far less than half the day in darkness; it is only when they are in the penumbra of the earth that they are in darkness.

Yes, and over 24 hours, they are 12 hours in darkness: on a 90-minute orbit, 45 consecutive minutes are spent in Earth's shadow => half the day, they are in darkness.

On the upside, they get full insolation during those 12 hours, unlike ground-based solar. On the downside, at night, the satellite will be in Earth's shadow whenever it's above the ground station, so LEO solar power satellites can't supply power at night (unless they carry batteries).
My Chinese ability rounds down to non-existant, and I apologize for constructing a questionable example. Wang as a family name, and Wang as king or (royal-) was the first thing that came to mind. Since you know Chinese well, do you know of a good example of a 1-2, vs 2-1 split where both are reasonable but one is much more likely to be semantically correct?

My interpretation of "The Lord of the Flies" didn't have anything to do with islands or shipwrecks. The purpose of the novel was to demonstrate the raw cruelty that teenagers in a group, such as the ones you or I went to high school with. The author was trying to show up what a stupid, cruel system we'd set up for ourselves and how senselessly mean we were to one another.
The SuperFX doesn't really become the main CPU, and has some practical caveats that keep it from doing so. Part of that is that the thing's instruction memory is only 512 bytes.

Further down the author says it runs at 60fps, without much headroom. So quite some way behind modern GPUs - the latest doom game can run at 200+ FPS and is vastly more complicated.

I live in Massachusetts, and we actually have fairly low taxes given the level of progressive politics, plus a Republican governor.

The added value of all of that is dubious when you see the result from the creators themselves. The analogy "too many chefs in the kitchen" is pretty spot on. The front-end UI is not the back-end, it doesn't scale with the number of users, so when too many smart engineers work on it you see the result.
The stay at home order here makes exceptions for "family or household members", so people here can go do errands for parents without being in violation of it (it's also not particularly being enforced).

The thing is, it's not just a personal decision, increased social contact results in increased spread for everybody, not just a 3 week risk for a given individual.

Of course, lots of people are starting from the premise that 100% infection is inevitable, and then apparently tacking on it not being worth slowing things down while interventions and vaccines are researched, in which case it doesn't make any sense to worry about other people (because they think it's a foregone conclusion).
Not Invented Hereism is different from "look, you outsiders fundamentally just don't understand the score, and until you do, i'm going to ignore you".

Swanking into the joint, assuming spherical cows, and berating the locals for being lazy roustabouts who just need to see the light is not going to make you friends, because it's demonstrably not useful. To the extent that there's human politics and gatekeeping, it's resolved by getting ones hands dirty in the lab before one holds forth ex cathedra about things one obviously doesn't understand. It's certainly possible to take valuable ideas from one field and apply them in a productive cross-disciplinary way. The people who do it well don't play this game.

Intuitions and practices developed to handle designed and often linearizable systems for which spec sheets of some form are available just aren't applicable without heavy modification in the biosciences, which routinely deal with eking out victory in systems which are not designed, are wildly nonlinear, and for which the partial specs which do exist are known to be at best lies of omission and often just complete misunderstandings which can be, and are, revised at a moment's notice.
