Batteries are really HEAVY, Model 3 is heavier than your average Sedan. The trick is to perfect battery weight and its effect on range, in a certain use case. Commercial vehicles would need 150+ kw batteries, with huge batteries comes huge

I do not believe in all conspiracy theories and I do not ignore all conspiracy theories. When you understand that there are certain unprovable things and layers of gatekeepers for what is called "news". You have to connect the dot

Predicting is stupid.. but since we do many stupid things -- predicting what will not change is less stupid than what will. What will not change -- US will still have the most powerful navy in a economically declining world. What would that

Think of all predictions as set of possible outcomes. Yes, there is a possible decade long depression outcome. Based on my reading its W recovery staggered growth, with US pulling back all its supply chains to North America and Export-Orien

When Air India gets privatized for good ;) Jokes aside, airlines around the world are pretty much nationalized one way or the other -- and we have to re-evaluate things on the other side of pandemic 2 years from now.

We are in a situation where pretty much every job in on the chopping block. I want them to give money to every one, but if you have earned lets say 150K in 2020, this amount is fully clawed back next year tax season.

With shale out of the game, tar sands our of business, PDVSA heavy crude barely having an output with dilapidated INFRA, who is going to plug the hole ? When the rates were high Canada and Mexico plugged in. I am curious, if KSA wins the pr

83% of US energy portfolio is connected to Oil, Gas and Coal. Either you prop energy industry now, or fight KSA's wars and ideological misadventures in ME. For what its worth, saving ONG jobs in US at least gives us better policy optio

Thanks for making me aware of TSMC's existing foundry, I only thought they had design here. As far as bizarre goes -- bizarre is better than boring!

I understand, but fabs are realm of competition with China and their 2025 plan. I am big fanboy of Robert Lighthizer, and with Phase 1 effectively ripped we are going to see a lot of moving things. May not happen immediately, first it will

Welcome to USA. Smart Move TSMC and Taiwan. You have earned a friend for life. For the doubters, this is just the beginning of Re-industrilization of America.

With 40 million in unemployment queue and nation feeling vulnerable and paranoid.. Americans are not fucking around no matter what ideological stripe they come in. Some talk softer than others but the direction is baked in.

I think you are wrong, the geo-political tectonic plates has not only shifted but collided violently in Jan 2020. US is brining supply-chain by hook or crook. Taiwan needs Americas protection and no other country can be its security guarant

The effort towards the design of ventilators likely would have started when there was peak anticipated demand. The NY Governor was asking for 40,000 ventilators last month. So, we should not dismiss the effort. There will be lots of wasted

It is a qualitative analysis done by an enthusiastic amateur (me). You may disagree, and it is perhaps noise. Who knows!

Zeihan and George Friedman are really good. After getting perspective from reading them, prepared to be annoyed by geopolitical commentary on HN.

I get my Coronavirus info from following people on twitter - who are mostly honest even if biased and understand that there is a lot of unknown and being honest about it the best place to start.

I am afraid it is, but I do not see that much of an incentive for a Governor to keep their State shut-down when it does not have to. May be its posturing or may be its not. I think the interests of White House and Governors are more in line

You need research a bit about Indira Gandhi and consolidation of Power, oh by the way Communist Party of India was lovingly called Communist Party of Indira. Modi is a shallow imitation of Indira Gandhi in his attempt to centralize powers.

Who gets to decide this ? The colonial experience basically pointed to this flaw -- that India has to be at military and economic level be a Union. Will India in future fragment, possibly. But the history from 323 BC till today is the same

I think it comes down to volume and rate of corrections. You will inevitably make mistakes in many endeavors and most mistakes are not fatal, but while making mistakes the rate of correction during this time puts you on the right path. Most
