You're making common mistakes that people make when talking about school finances. Schools pay for sports because they drive alumni interaction and therefore donation rates, and they therefore have a higher than 1-1 rate of return. T

I can't tell, is this a joke? Or are you being this obtuse on accident?

I think they were trying to insinuate there is some big player with a short on FB manipulating the news.

One thing that gets mentioned is the many thousands of miles that have been driven by Tesla vehicles, giving them sensor data in so many situations that may not have been seen yet by other companies. We may have to wait and see how much of

Yeah the results I mentioned were with incognito mode on the browser for that reason, but it's possible something still contaminated my results (not my location since I'm out of the country).

I think the answer is probably a little bit of both. Since this is a promotional video, it seems likely that this is in specific areas/times that were less complicated. I mean, take for example the self driving video Tesla made a few y

Perhaps a bit of a non sequitur, but it's a bit strange that WSU here means Wayne State University. I had assumed it meant Washington State University, and indeed that's the first result on Google when you search WSU. Wayne is not

Perhaps he is the inventor of this knot in the same way I was the inventor of short division in grade school--I thought I had invented it since no one had taught it to me, but I had just rediscovered an existing technique. Since that was th

Thank you for telling me that, much easier than using oracles installer. It's still not exactly that easy since clojurescript does not work with the latest java so you have to do some finagling to get it to install java8 but still much

On Mac, for me, even the process of getting java was more difficult than the entire setup process for some languages. "Ok here's the download page for Java, ok, but I need the JRE too, right? Ok here's the JRE, but it's

I tried using leinengen and boot, each had it's own issues. I remember spending many frustrating hours trying to get the live reloading to work. I feel like a lot of the Clojure ecosystem is quite hacky, and if you can hack around in c

Difficulty with setup certainly is a huge pain point with me using Clojure, the amount of time I've spent wrestling with different libraries were just not working is way too high, and is probably the number one reason I don't us

One thing I believe is not possible with linq is you can pass a transducer to a function (since a transducer is just another function), which can then insert it into a pre-existing chain of transductions.

But there is a good point there--Zeni optical probably pays under $4 per pair of lenses it sells. If you had a slot to insert a lens it wouldn't be very expensive.

Just out of curiosity, did you have the same sentiment after the DNC leaks?

I have showdead set to "no" yet I see that comment--why do you think the poster is banned?

Lunar landing is harder in many ways than a Martian landing. Without an atmosphere, you cannot aerobrake.

Remember though that Tesla will no longer be just a car company. The battery market is huge and will only get bigger as utility scale projects boost demand (like the 80MW one in Southern California Tesla just installed), and if residential

Out of curiosity, what are the cost cutting changes you're making? I've wondered why there are no MRIs using high temperature super conductors yet, it seems like such an obvious way to cut costs (as you don't need the extreme

While those are interesting comparisons, keep in mind pumped storage has other negatives that make it less appropriate for some needs (besides the fact that pumped storage has a larger ecological impact). Batteries can be installed much fas

If the whole first stage reuse thing pans out they could be looking at 1) faster average turnarounds as the reuse customers require less time to service and 2) more reusable hardware than customers willing to fly on certified pre-owned rock

Wouldn't you want to unload something unfavorable on a fast news day, where it would get buried by other, bigger news?

Out of curiosity, what do you use it for? I can't remember ever needing that feature.

I still don't understand why every company doing self driving cars is focusing on consumer cars while no major player is doing interstate trucking. Interstate trucking could pretty much be done now, and has several advantages. Driving

I think the idea in the first place is to lower the per unit cost. Then spending millions more for longer life doesn't make as much sense.

Why would a Kessler cascade be so devastating? Most of our comsats and all our GPS satellites are above LEO.

I don't know how concerned these companies are about industrial espionage. I would definitely buy that they were wary of funding a competitor.

As a point on the FH, one reason it's delayed is that it has lower priority: now that the Falcon 9 has been upgraded to the full thrust version, it can take many customers who were originally envisioned to go on the Heavy
