I have been hearing similar arguments for a long time. It used to be "tesla has one tiny factory, just wait until Toyota converts it's many huge factories to electric". It would be great if the mach-e sold 500k units in 2022,

I had a second round with the CEO of a small startup on zoom. 5 times in a 45 minute interview he said "Sorry hold that thought, just responding to a customer email real quick" It was tempting to tell him that we should just wrap

He has been pretty honest that predicting the maximum of a derivative of an S-curve is very hard.

It is permissionless. You can transfer BTC without a bank or eBay or the postal service being involved. It is the best way to buy LSD from a stranger. So it has some value because of that. Similar to rare wine, most of the price is due toda

I certainly can't afford to live on Madison Ave in NYC. But instead of living in a tent on the street on Madison Ave, I live in a city that is much cheaper than NYC and I don't live in the most expensive part of town. Should NYC p

I interviewed at a company based out of SF last week. The HR person had this long comment about diversity and how that is important at their company and asked what I've done in my career to support diversity. I told him a story about h

What do you tell a poor black gifted student? "Sorry friend, no gifted classes for you the gifted classes were making the administration look bad. That is more important than your accademic career."

It is a common trick of managers to only measure things that make them look good. Is the number of regressions going up? Remove the isRegression checkbox from your bug tracking system.

People want an easy fix. It is easier to blame a single person for now follow a single rule, than to set the standard that executives should put controls in place to ensure that policies are being followed.

This is the opposite of what Twitter wants. In KK's example you would have minimal social presence and not be recognizable by the general public at all. Twitter wants to promote the people who have 1k fans to turn them into 10k fans a

I see, sounds like GM's financials are in good shape. I hope that helps them in 14 years when they are no longer making ICE cars that those dealerships make all their profits off of from maintenance.

by bob33212 6y ago
Are you including the profits GM dealerships make on undercoating, transmission fluid flushes at 30k miles in those numbers?

by bob33212 6y ago
That is the problem. The Execs at GM are MBAs who are good at pulling financial levers. "Reduce costs by X%", "Increase R&D budget by Y%". Tesla is playing a different game based on first principals. "How low ca

It does, your dollars in 2019 could buy an average house, those dollars in 2025 will only buy a lower end house. This is nothing new though. A new car cost $800 in 1940. So if you held all your money in cash you missed out on buying a new c

This is what I'm talking about. You are assuming the worst intentions or at least singling out the worst actors. Because of this polarization I'm having a really hard time gauging how many people are actually scammers vs the type

It is really interesting to see the crypto topic become so polarized. Either you think it is this amazing revolution that will be the future or you are a "No-Coiner" and you are against crypto. During the DOT COM bubble things wer

You can only have one #1 priority. Maybe following your #2 priority helps achieve #1. Is that what you are saying? Selling a Crypto Company for Fiat makes Crypto more legit?

Why did they create their Etsy store? Was it to make as much money as possible? If the goal is just to make money then they should cash out at the peak of their brand.
238.
by bob33212 6y ago
Certainly. Just look at some of the people on Etsy. Some of them are pure artists who do what they do because they love it, not because they were hoping become a 100M brand some day. Some of them make good money because their products are s

They are trying to "Exit". That is what they call a IPO or a Sale in startups. They get paid with cash, then they buy houses, stocks, bitcoin, cars with that cash. The "Mission" of Coinbase exists because they don't
