My wife visited Israel and told me about the concept of Kibbutz. Since then I have been thinking about it and it is such a great concept. May be someone can borrow some aspects of the kibbutz and invent a business model. A big communal kitc

Productivity apps in Silicon Valley startups are out of control. My wife's company has Slack, G Suite, JIRA, Facebook at Work, Zugata, and now getting Asana. If you need to ping someone, you have to ping them in Slack, Hangouts, FB Mes

I have a Hyundai and Model S. They don’t feel remotely similar. The Hyundai feels like a relic from the past and I only bought it in 2015

Model X is not a 140,000 car. It starts much lower. You can similarly option up a 5 series to 100k. In any case, I prefer my Model S interiors 10x more than my X5 or Hyundai Santa Fe. Both of them have a 1000 buttons on the front dash with

That’s incorrect. Tesla’s connect to home WiFi and use that to transmit large volumes of training data. Owners have tracker huge packets being moved via their home connection

You are correct. I was thinking US numbers due to the focus on Fed credit

Tesla doesn’t have 500K cars. I believe they have sold close to 150k cars till date. But your point remains valid. That is a lot of data compared to 27 cars

There is a gazillion other imports that can be targeted with a tax. The most important thing for solar is to expand adoption by keeping costs low. Solar is such a small industry that it will have zero impact on American manufacturing overal

I have been in this country all of 10 years and I knew about lobbyists, donors, special interests even before coming over. US and lobbying system is famous across the world, even my 75 year old parents know about it and they live in some fa

Good job Montana. If I recall correctly, the FCC ruling also prevented states from creating their own NN laws. I am wondering if there will be litigation around in executive order.

It has already impacted tourism and international student enrollment in colleges. Logically, business creation would follow. Canada is reaping the benefits. Tourism is up 20% and college enrollment is up by significant percentage as well.

Please please pick Toronto. My immigrant future in the US is still uncertain after being here for 12 years. Would be great if Canadian tech ecosystem gets a boost so that I and countless others in my position have options

We need a high speed train connection. But the Federal government should be building such infrastructure, considering we pay 35% of our taxes to the Fed. In most countries, the central governments builds infrastructure at this scale.

Giant PR move. Amazon was already doing all of these and opening a new HQ without all this "tax" bill PR.

$1000 bonus is $500 after taxes. Which means, it is $40/month or $20/paycheck. It is laughable. Most employees will get $200 bonuses, which roughly will equate to $4/paycheck.

I just counted the number of one way flights this Friday between SFO-LAX. There are 57 non stop flights on that day. And this doesn't even include OAK, SJC as well as BUR, LGB, and Orange County in So Cal. Fares start at $49. This will

I was a consultant who flew every week for 3 years. All consultants fly out on Thursday late afternoons and early evenings. If you want to attract those travelers, you need to fly out on Thursdays.

Yet, he leans on their work that have prevented corporations from discriminating on people, to sue Google.

Is that true ? I thought he describes himself as a conservative in the lawsuit. Anyway, my comment was a bit "tongue-in-cheek"

Why would a "white male conservative" sue a corporation when the conservative platform believes that in a free market corporations should be allowed to discriminate as they please ? I have heard Ron Paul (ok, a libertarian) state

IMO, charging time is a non issue for people with personal garages. I have owned a Model S for a year, and the only time charging time is a factor is when I am doing long road trips. For everyday use, my car gets charged overnight in my gar

If this was the case, it would be a gradual decline, instead of a dramatic decrease in one year. Also, anecdotally, none of my family members want to study in the US anymore.

I would highly recommend to Indian students not to study in the US going forward. At least until the generally hostile attitude towards immigrants and meaningful reforms in GC attainment is done. If you plan to lay down your roots in Americ
