There was a quote from Richard Branson that often comes to mind when I think of Elon: "Make a fool of yourself". The context of the quote is that if you don't have the money (or are unwilling to pay) for marketing then you c

"The OneWheel only does about half the balancing work" -- It's more like 99% of the work and I defy anyone to stay balanced and keep riding free wheel if the power suddenly cuts out. The OneWheel's balancing algorithm is

Are the challenges at Twitter technical ones ? It seems they are all related to strategy and direction of the business which isn't the expertise Hotz is famous for. Or perhaps Hotz sincerely wants to be a lowly intern and this is his i

The best thing about being a Gen X'er is that the non-descript label keeps us out of the culture war crosshairs. "Boomer" has become a slur at this point and the name "Zoomer" is so cringe you are primed as an older
