India has a chance this time. Govt seems committed to “start” the leap frogging process. For example there is new energy around building infrastructure, especially expressways. Also China’s recent actions are also a wake up call and acting

Irrespective of how it will play out, I appreciate the analysis from Ark. But I wish they also accounted for "China factor". Given that China is one of the largest growth markets for Tesla and the US-China geo-political landscape

Increasingly, companies like Tesla also need to figure out how they will adjust to an adversarial China and the corresponding shift in Geopolitical reality. I remember reading that China may derive 40% of its revenues from Chinese market so

Nice work! I recently got an LG Ultrafine 5K for my MBP M1. Definitely not as sleek as the iMac. Though the all black/rugged look is growing on me.

I think the differentiation is in the first mover advantage of Bitcoin. Combine that with, difficulty of mining, no central control and proven robustness.

I think Tesla buying Bitcoin is simply reflecting the fact that Bitcoin is looking more and more entrenched - sort of it's here-to-stay realization. Gold probably had similar transition from being a shiny fad to a more entrenched store

Serious question: How is Waymo’s tech better? I know Tesla’s FSD is used by people quite successfully. Don’t know if people have experiences with Waymo’s

Thing is that in the big picture, it's not just that China is building a replacement for GitHub. China is building a replacement for everything that matters and accelerates their transition to be the Super Power. And they have been doi

It will be an interesting dynamic. Clearly if anyone has the chops, it’s Apple. They have just started to topple Intel’s monopoly with M1. The company is poised to dominate the personal computing. That being said Tesla is no slouch. It’s le

This is the Apple equivalent of a Tesla showing up and out competing much more expensive cars on the performance. It feels like a huge disruption and probably Apple’s chance to gain significant PC market share.

That would help to an extent, in that more city states will likely end up with benevolent rulers. Others, however, would still be susceptible to land a ruler who exploits the innocence of people and distorts reality to advance their own age

It’s great to get confirmation scientifically. Though Intuitively it has always felt that handwriting engages brain more than typing. It’s as if we need an almanac of proofs that validate widespread intuitions.

While I wish open internet prevailed, reality is that there are abuses with national security implications. That being said, this won’t be the answer to the national security quagmire. US needs to out-innovate faster than ever before. It’s

I recently got a shock when I went for a tooth extraction. A nurse and a surgeon spent an hour to complete the procedure. It came out to ~$6000. I had to pay for $700 for calcium grafting right then and there and they were going to get back

There are a lot of people who are capable of self educating and removing ignorance from their lives, but don’t have the means to pay for the fancy universities and prove their capabilities, which is what in the end certificates do. They pro

For universities to fully crumble and education to become significantly cheaper, in addition to all the advancements that have occurred in last decade, I believe we need a credible way to certify students online. Imagine if someone sitting

With the recent killing of 20 Indian soldiers, conventionally India would’ve responded militarily. Though the reality is India can’t afford a military conflict with the much more powerful China. Thus banning the apps is a good response. Yo

Serious question, What do you recommend that they do instead? Also, as for Facebook Shops, I don’t think that’s a good thing for Shopify. It’s a forced marriage, with a divorce planned for future.

The estimates for the number of stars in the galaxy continues to grow. Just a few years I remember reading 100 billion stars, then it became 200 billion. And in this article it's 400 billion. And supposedly there are hundreds of billio

Ultimately we all have to figure our own ways. I am 44 and after reading my share of self-help books, YouTube videos, teachings from gurus and whatnot - this is where I have arrived. Lot of things have have been left out on purpose.

Recently I had an epiphany and I felt as if I had cracked the code to living a good life - 1. Exercise everyday 2. Eat and drink clean. As cliche as it sounds it felt like if I took care of these two things, everything else will take care o

It’s not a question so much that Tesla and SpaceX are amazing. It’s just that why does EM have to make stock influencing statements like this. It hurts people financially. Just watch out for that.

by vgchh 6y ago
Interesting. In case of Buffet, did he provide additional information to back up his claim? I case of EM, I have no idea if he is kidding or serious. This leads to confusion, loss of value - potentially unnecessarily.

Unfortunately as CEO of a public company, I don’t believe he can make stock moving statements casually, without backing it by information. It can’t be left as an exercise for the reader - if it’s opinion, why does he think so? Or maybe he i
