Agreed that producing is tough, but what was said above about it being "vaporware" is complete nonsense though.

Are Tesla owners really this sensitive? I mean they do have prototypes out there, it's not like they're making up what the mileage is, they clearly have demoed that it works, it's just about producing the vehicles now.

Those are great numbers, I'm really looking forward to the rivian though. It will have 410 miles for the SUV https://www.autonews.com/article/20181127/OEM04/181129763/ri...

That's quite an assumption that they just paid a remote team to do that and their management overlooked it.

All of these gig economy companies seem pretty fragile, they are all risky investments. Most of them are only one court decision or legislation from being put into a difficult position.

This is a step in the right direction - my understanding is though that most non competes aren't enforceable to begin with, even outside of California.

He mentioned that it took a long time to get going with some of the frameworks to get an MVP but the advantage of most of those is that while they take time more to learn you'll be more productive with them in the long run and there wi

What do mean continue to work? It's clearly not working in Boulder where they are building luxury homes. Those types of places are trying what you claim will work and it's not working.

That doesn't make any sense at all. No middle class person will be able to move into Boulder where the average home price is over $1 million. If someone moves out of there a middle class person wont be able to move in at that price poi

You're missing the point, people from middle class housing wont be able to move into luxury housing, most people don't have the means to do so. I don't see how you can believe that building luxury housing will help middle cla

If only luxury housing gets built eventually the amount of middle class housing will become too scarce. This is quite apparent in Boulder, when I lived there the citizens were quite good at banding together to prevent any development that w

If she's complaining about those companies using private information for profit she'll be quite surprised once she learns what happens on the internet. Many political campaigns use some sort of data mining operations.

Too bad they fired James Damore for simply wanting to have a discussion about it. I think discouraging people from speaking up on issues is ultimately how we got here.

Thanks for sharing, did not know of that term, but I must say it's a rather confusing choice of words!

Agreed, SF has a lot of tech companies, but a lot of them don't do things that ate very valuable for society, many are social networking/advertising.

Looking at salary data from several places, even a $200k base seems pretty rare, most developers are not making that much in the bay area. People in the bay area are going to have less purchasing power than developers in most other places a

I believe having the company explain the value is the idea, since values could mean something different to everyone.
