Dude, I love my Rose Gold SE. I got it because it was cheaper used, but it's such a nice color. Own it!

Thus reinforcing Tesla's dominance. Until other manufacturers can match Tesla's price/range combination, Tesla will continue to dominate the market.

"Speaking Out" against standard practice, and getting the ear of a reporter because your company makes headlines more often. Yay.

Good. This has gotten ridiculous.

That's healthy, and we need more of that, especially face-to-face

Dare I say... Linux support?

That's so freaking cool. Git rocks, and I remember how psyched I was when I learned about it. What's your next project?

That's awesome. What resources did you use to learn Node and JS? Just looked at your code. Kid. You're a badass. Keep this up, you'll go places.

I'd bet he wrote it locally and then committed it.

I do as many pushups as I can in one go, and solve my speedcube a few times. Gets the blood flowing and the brain working.

Ah, yes, I saw this in 2010. They didn't have high enough resolution to detect actual vibrations, so they used an algorithm based on per-pixel color shifts. Really clever.

I was just watching Firefly yesterday. Thanks for the little moment of joy.

That's a very Right opinion, even though it may not be right. You do have that right, however. Anyway, I've got to get back to work right away.

What if, to some extent, it's simply reflecting objective truth? Reality isn't concerned with being inoffensive. Obviously any system that actively discriminates against intrinsic traits shouldn't be put into production, but

Holy Crap. MessageEase is the keyboard I didn't know I wanted. It's like Minuum but smarter. <3

I don't know where the article is off the top of my head, but there was a competent-looking study showing that certain non-ionizing radiation can open the blood-brain barrier, which may be relevant to these results.

There's a pattern from Elon of overpromising, and then pulling through, but way later. I wouldn't be surprised if they're easily staying at a 5000/week production baseline in the next three months.

This is the best thing I've listened to in a long time. Please let me give you money for this. EDIT: I'm also an audio guy (In pre-prod right now for a news podcast with a small outlet), and if you're looking, I'd be abs

This would be cool /if/ it added more functionality. For example—a digitizer, Force Touch, or both. I love my MbP Trackpad, but a digitizer would absolutely slay, especially combined with some sort of display.

We just need to wait for Toyota to release an EV capitalizing on the ~127mpgE of the Prius Prime, and kill everyone else for a little while.

I think this is a sign of good work-life balance—something not common in software-related fields. Sounds like you're competent and are doing good boring work. Lots of people would kill to be where you are.

"Sure I can do that, and here's how much it'll cost"

That was my first thought: is there a reason for anyone to contribute? It's a for-profit app that I assume makes you money. Why should I volunteer my free time to work on it for you?

This confuses cleverness for sophistication. Yes, Stuxnet is ingenious, but mostly in concept/access to secret Windows bugs, not execution. Something like Pagerank or modern video encoders easily beats Stuxnet in terms of sophisticatio

The fact that no-one has conclusively disproven this yet gives me hope. My desperate desire for this to be real has nothing to do with that hope whatsoever. I feel like, if this is real, it's one of those sci-fi MacGuffin technologies
