Hopefully they increased the size of the fleet to coincide with this. The wait times in Phoenix have been 30+ minutes in my experience. But the experience was much better than any standard Uber I’ve been in.

Yup, reuse/reduce is already built into the brand. I see this as chasing a PR headline that wasn’t necessary for the company.

Is this CGI? The shadows and movements of the block pieces don't seem real at all. Almost like they're from the PS3 tech demo era.

Musk already has Water Isaacson following him around for a biography. Cant wait to read how Musk is earth’s savior and inventor of everything.

This is the same company that had (still has?) “the vault” for decades to create an artificial demand / fervor when things do come out.

Thanks for link. It’s definitely an incredible story. Going from nothing to best selling car within a couple years.

Best selling non-pickup in US is a pretty broad category. Do you mean the “high end luxury” segment or a more narrow EV segment? I have a hard time believing Tesla is outselling Toyota and Hyundai

"and she is now SMTS in 2 years" implies this person got a promotion every year.. At Salesforce's development pace I somehow doubt this person made such an impact to go straight to a senior position. Especially during a perio

Mike is going to be shocked when he learns the majority of GM's software talent are nearing retirement or are fresh out of college with barely any background in programming. The company isn't the best at enticing and retaining sof

I don't understand the obsession with LaTeX. Nobody realistically would care if you coded your resume in LaTeX because it's such a small "project" (a la "hello world") and there's nearly no real-world appl

I think GMs backs are against the wall here. GMs margins are already so thin on most of that inventory (aside from top trims of trucks) that they’d be basically paying customers to take the cars off the lot. On top of that they lose a bunch

Elon is pulling the wool to incite his mob. He states people are doxxing his real-time location. The only people he’s banning are those that reference publicly available FAA flight data. I even think the owner of the Twitter account put the

He was working 12+ hour days for 4 years straight and left in July. A couple months of unemployment is fine especially with such a niche profession. He might not even be looking.

Spot on. The bigger question is how you lasted a decade? A year of that of that promo and metrics driven culture churn was enough for me.

What do you mean? iTunes still exists. It’s separate from Music but you can still boot up iTunes (pc/MacOS/ iOS) and still search, sample, buy everything as you did before.

Discord’s architecture is easily shard-able by channel, though. There’s no shared “multi-channel” experience like workspaces in Slack. Sure, users can message each other directly which could cause some complexities but the volume of DMs is

He made a joke offer and attempted to back out of the deal for 6 months straight. Nobody knew if it was going through or not.

I expect #3 to be true to an extent. Elon is very good at attracting very high performing, industry leading engineers to join him but they never last long. He burns out the high performers just as much as the low performers.

There is none. The only thing anyone has referenced is some pre-PayPal code that got scrapped and rewritten in the merger and some games when he was a kid.

I noticed this with Tiktok. I put in my number into my profile and got friend suggestions for nearly my entire contact list despite not giving access to it.

Yeah this seems odd for a Fortune 500 company’s CEO asking specifically for Linux VMs. There’s not enough hours in the day where these CEOs would be so far down in the weeds of the business that they’re making VM flavor decisions.

Amazon employees also get those sorts of emails. During my time there I'd get emails from recruiters and management who had no idea I worked there but also those who did with the intent to poach me for their own team.

Not sure how sophisticated their traffic monitoring has become but to avoid this it used to be as simple as having the dyno ping itself. Doesn't avoid the hard cap on hourly compute though.

Especially at FAANG and those (ex)Unicorn type of companies. Overall employee tenure is never high since initial stock offerings fall off around the 4 year mark. This creates a lot of opportunity to learn the ins and outs just out of necess

Sorry, but it seems painfully obvious what you were getting yourself into.

There are tax implications as well when shipping fully assembled products. The big auto manufacturers have done this to avoid tariffs on vehicle imports.
