Surprised to see no mention of GNUNet. GNUNet arguable has the most complete stack and they have a GNU Name System so they can go beyond public key as direct identifiers. I would really love to see matrix use GNUNet and GNU Name System as t

I don't understand what these investors do, I don't think it makes sense for most of them and I would advice against it. However, the whole point of Robinhood is to allow people to buy the stocks they want. Would they also have st

The body is not actually stainless steel. This is common misconception. Its actually a totally normal unibody construction, they just put stainless steel panels on top just like other cars put painted panels on top. And even if it was, why

But this is total fantasy argument. Tesla will not have a monopoly. Why should they? Nothing is stopping other people from creating charging stations. Certainty not Tesla. > But will they? Yes, eventually it will be a financial make sens

Tesla did make an exterior refresh in 2016 and and a limited interior refresh as well. It also added a drastically improved suspension then. The exterior here is in fact refreshed. Chrome delete, different front end, different lights and ot

Credits are not 'government money' credits are paid by the competitors. The concept of credits is older then Tesla or EV. They will very likely go up next year, or at least stay the same. There are a few things you are not conside

Not as good as I had hoped on margins, this is a bit of letdown. But I am really happy about the Solar and Storage. Overall its still pretty good. Overall 2020 was very successful, specially considering the situation. Solar collapsed quite

That's what Matrix is for. They should have the money to pay for one at least.

Tesla tried this and they realized its a bad idea. Standardizing a mechanism like this is insanely complex so for the most part it would be 'per company'. And even within the vehicles of one company, changing a Model S and Cybertr

"In some markets" lots of things are true. In practice 28% of global EV sold are Tesla, and very large numbers of the others are tiny city cars or very small cars like the Zoe. In terms of BEV cars Tesla is the clear global market

Tesla have their own custom plug. They appear on the map in the car and the car tells you if the station is full (or partially broken) of people and potentially re-routes you. Tesla charge location also usually have multiple very high perfo

In Europe in cities you often have parking garages for a whole bunch of buildings together. In such case you can just have chargers there.

First of all, nobody is forcing anybody. Those manufactures that want to use a standard are free to use one. This is intact what happened, the waste majority is standardized and that mostly without regulation. Market forces are driving stan

They are doing all this stuff and still don't support audiobooks or syncing positions between clients. I would pay money just for those two extra features. This feature is fine, but I would really like to have more control and deactiva

I have said they are profitable, not by how much. Of course they are not profitable 'enough' to do what they want to do in terms of Starlink and Mars. SpaceX always reinvested every penny into development and they have done so for

I can't read WSJ. This article is from 2017, since then they have done a lot better.

The launch business has been profitable since before 2008. All their work for government is profitable. But of course you can finance Starlink and continue to be, so that part is VC funded. And they have not received FCC money yet.

Operating a incredibly limited test program while burning 100s of millions is not my definition of solving general autonomy. Maybe if they role out this program to city after city in short intervals and have 10000+ taxi operating I would co

The real value is not super low latency communication, but rather airplanes and ships out of reach of normal base stations. I have seen no evidence that traders will be the primary users. Do you have any evidence or cases where they are doi

I stand corrected. Just to be clear for my understand, would this not only be true during optimal cruise? Outside of optimal operation, specially during the start, this would actually be an advantage of electric motors? I was looking into t

Electric planes where used have already shown to be significantly cheaper to operate. Even if you need more overall energy, as electricity is cheaper then fuel, that is not necessary a problem. Also, I think people really need to think abou

Very reductionist analysis. - Electric engines are far more efficient. Electric engines have a significantly better trust-to-weight ratio. - Lighter engines on the wing mean lighter overall plane structure - Batteries can be structural comp

The economics have already turned, EV are invitable. The difference is that EV require completely new supply chain. Demand for Lithium, Cobalt, Nickel is growing like crazy and that takes time. Battery factories are very hard to build, supp

This 11% number really hides the reality. You are comparing what amounts to a luxury car to basically tiny city car that cost like 10% of the Tesla. If you look at revenue in that market it is a far larger number. Tesla in general in terms

Elon basically tweeted that the legs are one of the single biggest 'battlegrounds' inside of SpaceX. There are tons of ideas and different approaches. We will see what SN15 goes with. The current ones are defiantly not a final pro

This is no longer really the case. Last year many of the subsidies have been removed. If anything growth in China has slowed down because of that. Europe is actually the place that has put the most pressure on companies, because their new r

Tons of these are already outdated. Others are future looking statements that have not yet been disproved. If that is the best you can do for THE LAST 10 years its actually embracing.
