Pointless comparison really, you're comparing a startup (in automotive industry context) to a company established in the 1900s. Tesla's revenue growth is 40x Ford.

Sorry, you're correct. I was looking at 2018 revenue, not market cap.

That's insane. One-third of Tesla's market cap and they seem to be far behind in self-driving, battery tech, charging infrastructure and product development.

> If you look at his past claims it becomes clear that he should just be ignored. What's an example of this? His timelines are often much too aggressive for reality but he repeatedly delivers (eventually).

That's actually one of the great things about being bootstrapped and profitable. I can grow naturally and I don't need to scale rapidly and hit huge customer numbers to keep VCs happy. I'm in this for the long run. Even if 90

I'm close with ToDesktop ( https://www.todesktop.com/ ), I've launched quite recently so expect to be there in the next month or two.

Wow, that was an extremely eloquent 4 minute piece to camera. Seems a little misplaced though. YC 120 seems to be about bringing people together who haven't already worked with great teams in SF. It seems to be for those with enthusias

I use iPhone SE as my daily driver because of the form factor. Give me a premium SE with thinner bezels and I would probably pay close to iPhone X prices. There are quite a few of us out there.

Personal attacks are completely unwarranted. I think a more useful (and certainly more constructive) way to look at this is to frame it as a learning experience and figure out what we can do to minimize the effect of this in future. It&#x27

My shower leaked quite badly, whenever I used it then water would drip from the ceiling below. I did my best to seal it up and forgot about it. Then, I was away on holidays for 6 weeks during the cold months here in Ireland. The heating was

I suffered from a wide variety of issues (inflammatory symptoms, weight loss, extreme fatigue, severe joint issues, gastro etc...) when living in a moldy house. At first I was sceptical that mold could be the cause because there is no scien

I don't agree. Rogan is a better interviewer but Elon is much more fluent in the recode interview.

Is the package compressed? The space saving seems minor if so. A "Hello World" with Electron is ~40MB on Windows and ~50MB on Mac when it's compressed into an installer (DMG/EXE installer).

You'd still potentially have the out-of-date problem with Node though, which is arguably an easier attack vector since Chromium is sandboxed and Node has user-level privileges by default.

Haptics will definitely help the feel. I imagine it would take a few weeks of use to evaluate if it's a workable solution for you. I'm very interested to hear what the reviews say about it.

> And I'd much rather settle Mars a few hundred years later if that in turn means that Mars will be settled by not-so-big-assholes than if it happened sooner. I haven't seen a lot of evidence to suggest that Musk is an asshole.

More open source projects should have logos. This is great. I had a similar idea a few months ago but I was coming at it from the opposite direction (demand-side instead of supply-side). It has turned into a repository of existing Node.js p

Increasing block size is not a sustainable solution for scaling transactions. Transaction fees are too high and BTC should move to 2MB as a short-term fix but the long-term fix is off-chain solutions like Lightning.

Can someone who is more familiar with Meltdown speculate on this? Is this a quick fix and is it likely to be optimised over time and become less slow? Or is this the raw trade-off and current hardware will always suffer slow-downs to this d
