"In the last seven working days of the quarter, we made 793 Model 3's, and in the last few days, we hit a production rate on each of our manufacturing lines that extrapolates to over 1,000 Model 3's per week" - from

My argument is made against things you CAN control and DO know about. Sorry, I should have included that disclaimer. So taking that into account now, is it still a bad example? Should I pay for somebody's lung cancer treatment after th

Wrong. Many Americans, including myself, think of personal responsibility first. Actions may have consequences, period. I exercise regularly, eat healthy, keep the amount of sugar/glucose I consume to a minimum, keep alcohol and drug u

Same here, I'm holding out. You probably already know just how excited I was to hear they will combine Mac OS and IOS into one OS. I can't wait for all the new bu..err.. features we'll be getting!! \s How's Linux doing w

I had completely forgot about Netscape in a box! I like that business model. Something that just works, no ads, nothing. The sublime text model is good too. I will happily pay a one time license for a browser for $100 if it meant no ads and

Well, I didn't say it definitively. But I suppose you can say that. But this whole thread is one giant stereotype to begin with, so yeah. From my observation is what I should have said. And I'm in Dallas, way better than Houston ;

No, I'm saying there is a difference between Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio and the rest of Texas, like rural east and west Texas. I think you have to compare apples to apples here. San Fran to Dallas/Houston/etc. You c

To add to that as someone who grew up in Dallas, Texas, has lived in what many consider the most "liberal" parts of the U.S., and now back in Dallas (Texas forever); The thing I hear the most from people who have moved to Dallas r

It should be renamed to "Work as a software engineer at a startup". Looking at the application, it seems that is all they care about.

Typically high level executives are required to buy a certain number of shares in the company. That's not including the options earned, but actual shares they have to buy. Now yes, much of the time, the shares they have to buy are opti

To add to that: Would the house ever be built at all if not for the person employing the labor to build it? Great analogy for a company too. Whether it's a start up or growing a large company to be even larger. There is no automatic fo

But! The underbelly of the car would be a solar panel =p Crank the radio up to 11! (Which is funny because Tesla’s volume actually goes to 11) So actually, they'd for sure have to disable the heater on the battery, and I dunno, can the

It’s perfect if you think about it. They need weight for the launch, but why use expensive equipment when the odds are high it won’t even leave Earth atmosphere. It’s a massive PR stunt, I mean, what other car company has a car just orbitin

Where do you think this money to pay for a UBI is coming from? After reading Sam A's posts about UBI and the comments here on HN, I'm blown away. How can so many "smart" people disregard economics and be so so out of tou

This keeps going around but it's simply not true... For snaps that are not saved, those are not retained on any server after their expiration. Why would snap spend the money and/or hold the liability of keeping expired snaps store

I mean, we are finding Pluto sized objects right outside our solar system all the time now.

It's pretty basic economic theory of supply and demand. If the purchasing power of everyone goes up equally, the price of the same supply will also go up equally, and so in the end, nothing changes. The poor will still be poor, the mid

You misunderstood what I meant. I would still keep my job. I would do nothing DIFFERENT than what I do now. Meaning, everything I spend my money on right now will cost more as everyone receives $5k/mo. So in the end, I won't be ab

by Cshelton 9y ago
If assuming that everyone was also receiving $5k/mo "UBI"... Nothing different, because the cost of everything I buy will go up by a total of $5k/mo. Hence why UBI is flawed. My total purchasing power will be unchanged.

That's actually a great movie plot, not sure if it has been done before. Not with Voyager, but for example: The year is 2243; a spacecraft that humans sent out of the solar system on a one way trip launched in 2045, has once again come

Would it be possible to use these thrusters, or even the main thruster, to speed Voyager or slingshot it around something right before it loses power to communicate back to us? It'd be cool if right before we lose contact of it for goo

Ok... What the Model 3 was intended to be??? First thing, cheap? The Bolt starts at $37,495. Straight from GM's website. That is pretty much the same as the Model 3. Electric, check. But with the Bolt, you are maxed out at 238 miles EP

Most super cars have very little safety in mind. At $200k, a small percentage of people will be driving one. It's all about specs at this point, throw everything else out other than meeting the road legal requirements.

So I see this as a growing pain. But this is something that has already been thought of as something that could happen, and there is work looking into how to solve it going back a ways: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs&
