Elon has not lied to the SEC. Please provide link or other evidence. He settled a claim that he manipulated the stock without admitting guilt, in order to avoid damaging the company, but that is completely different.

The author doesn't really state that he did that, but I ran the numbers, and it seems he's doing that indeed. Not sure how he came to the conclusion that 25T fuel is in the 737, as that doesn't seem to be the case. He still d

Many of the flaws with the article have been pointed out, but can I just point out the author is so lazy that he doesn't even remove the weight of the fuel from the Boeing 737, nevermind the jet engine and the many other optimisations

This one is one of those things that took us so many iterations to nail. Very happy it finally got to a good place. We'll integrate it into balenaOS soon by default, hopefully.

Hey there -- we have a bunch of case studies on our blog, click the "case study" links on this page -- https://www.balena.io/customers/ And if you're interested in a board that is as easy to program as t

Hey there -- so this is a bit of a terminological thing, but we don't consider balenaEngine to be a docker fork -- it's a sibling project descending from the Moby Project, just like Docker, and of course highly copmpatible with Do

To be honest, with fleets in the wild, simple works. We do deploy containers to these devices, but rather than kubernetes-ing the whole thing, it's more like "every device in the fleet must run this container". In IoT/Ed

Device fleets are incredibly hard to get right, and if you have no updateability, you have to nail them the first time. For someone coming from a cloud background, it's a jungle out there, where all sorts of "easy" or "s

A Greek saying goes: Ουδέν μονιμότερον του προσωρινού. (There is nothing more permanent than the temporary) I keep thinking about it when building out information system architectures, especially ones that interface with end users. Bad desi

Acquisitions are all well and good, but unfortunately, when an asteroid hits you, all the umbrellas in the world won't help. Tesla has been attacking the hard problems (like battery cost) for close to a decade while most others kept bu

I would like to go on the record as saying that the big car companies of today, short of a miracle, are on track to meet the big mobile phone companies of the pre-iPhone era. Remember when Blackberry, Nokia, Motorola, Alcatel, Sony seemed u

Wait times in the US for the existing models are already low enough that there's basically no backlog. (out of the 420k reservations they had at some point, you can think of it as half those reservations being overseas -- not yet tappe

Faulty != approximate. for all reasonable estimations of the Canada deliveries number, the title still stands.

Ok, so this is an article referring to some other reporting, which was somehow sourced itself. Suffice to say that factoid should come with significant uncertainty attached.

Went back to the sources, and it seems you're right on the Thiel thing. He did make peace with Thiel and Levchin pretty fast though, and even invested more money into paypal after he was kicked out (citation: the Ashley Vance book on E

I follow this stuff pretty closely and I haven't seen any mention of him making a stand and saying he'd never settle. All I've seen is an article referring to "sources" that said he or his team rejected a specific s

Research what he did when he was fired as CEO of PayPal. He made sure the company had good management by making sure Peter Thiel came back (even though they weren't the best of friends at the time), and he stayed quiet, allowing the te

you never know, the expanded board might actually be suicidal and choose to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. I don't think they're that deranged, but you never know.

Try to start a democratic company (or run a thought experiment about doing so) and you will probably find the reasons why democracy works better as a way to manage a society than a single company.

Hey there -- resin.io founder here. While you are correct that we have not completed our open sourcing promise on time, and that is our fault, we have (and continue) to release as open source a lot more of our software than we "have to

Do you really think everyone of the 325 million will be a recipient of the $10k income, or perhaps only the ones that earn the least? Is this a proposal any sane advocate of UBI has put forward, or are you perhaps strawmanning a slight bit?

Yeah! I don't approve what he's doing with his money either! We should take it from him and give it to others we like better! What could go wrong? /s

At least it's a tech industry-only phenomenon right? In all the other industries, people are rational data analyzers with no bias whatsoever. If there's an epitomy of the tech industry, it's blaming ourselves for being unique
