Without a doubt there are toxic work environments and bosses that think the way you’ve stated. That said my point of view as a manager was to try to hire people who could take my job someday. Those were the people that would make me look go

I honestly don’t follow this much but I doubt that production ramp up is the Cybercab’s long pole when they’ll need a significant number of market approvals for FSD to reach critical mass.

Huh? Volvo is a subsidiary. Almost every legacy car company is a subsidiary of some kind. Lamborghinis aren’t German because they’re owned by Volkswagen group and often have Audi parts and Jeep isn’t Dutch because they’re owned by Stellanti

Huh. I view it the other way. If you’re supply constrained go straight to the consumer and capture the value that the middlemen building on top of your tech are currently profiting from.

My understanding is that they did a study on the feasibility of Electric Garbage trucks in NYC. The problem was that NYC Garbage trucks are also used as snow plows and it killed their range. Found an article https://nyc.streetsb

Amazon was a large investor in Rivian (they led a $700M round and own about 16%) and have a commitment for 100k vans by 2030. Amazon’s been using their vans here in Northern California for a couple of years now.

Bending Spoons also bought Brightcove so they actually own two of the white label streaming providers. Would not be surprised to see the two merged into a single service.

Sure - to those that can afford it. But this basically wipes out the ability for smaller companies to use H1Bs as an incentive to draw talent when they’re already behind the gun compared to the FAANG’s of the world from a hiring perspective

This is idiotic. We’re already pushing China and India into a partnership with Russia. The sheer volume of people in those countries mean “on average” more brilliant people than we do. The US competitive advantage is built on us being a de

I had an engineering boss who used this as a mantra (he is now an SVP of engineering at Spotify and we worked together at Comcast) I think the unspoken part here is “let’s start with…” It doesn’t mean you won’t have to “do all the things” s

Rents go up but the landlords costs stay static. A lot of small landlords start out at something close to break even from a cash flow perspective. At this point the landlords “profit” is the appreciation. That said the cash flow gets be

Totally an aside but is Morpheus what happened to the Hindenburg Research guys after the founder of that stepped away? The site is eerily similar and the timing makes sense. I loved reading Hindenburg’s research.
