Two things are the biggest problem for Tesla: $900m in bonds due in early 2019 Loss of full $7500 federal tax credit probably in Q2 2018 but definitely Q3.

NYTimes doesn't truly paywall anything. You get a finite number of articles each month but easy to get around that with incognito mode. That being said, I'll probably subscribe soon.

I'm surprised the bus was never an option. Los Angeles has a pretty good bus system. Or light rail now that the Expo Line is open, though you need to be going to certain places for that.

Skype for Business isn't really Skype, it's the new name for Lync, which has always been garbage.

These might be tired cliches now but I've always known the joke of Bose's slogan: "Better sound through marketing" and of course the acronym "Buy Other Stereo Equipment".

I wonder what you'd need to charge? Lots of awful property mgmt companies out there because it cuts into property owner's profits to pay more for a better one. If demand is high, what's the motivation for the owner? I suspect

What American cities are your ant farms? New York? This seems like hyperbole to me. I think there is a happy medium between anti build NIMBYs of, say, San Francisco, and a so-called ant farm.

I've recently started running regularly. At first I got a phone strap thing and some Bluetooth earbuds. Used them while running for a while. Music or podcasts. Then my friend, who is a much better runner than me, told me he likes to ke

I visited their site. I'm intrigued. I'm curious what sites you have left after doing this? Where do you find yourself getting world news, for example?

Does the Model 3 have an API? I wonder if aftermarket or DIY knobs and buttons and gauges would be possible.

He said the lack of buttons was extremely distracting. That's only one problem, but a big problem.

Time allocated for this used to be a given. It's interesting how quickly we have moved to SaaS. Though if your internal IT team had a VCS outage, it wouldn't be Hacker News news. Really it is just the scope of the outages (and com

May want to browse the countless compensation discussions in the app Blind. Lots of Bay Area offer info there. Note that salary is a misnomer. The term now is "total compensation" which has a significant RSU portion.
