The headline is not only wrong but it is intentionally misleading. I don’t understand the games people play when certain financial numbers line up and they want to “give credit” for all the profit to one thing or another. It’s not reality,

A certified laser etched diamond is a mass produced item that is pretty easy to authenticate. The brand name store selling it to you is invisible once it’s on your hand. There’s no such thing as a “used” diamond. So the diamond is worth wha

Just because L5 autonomy doesn’t solve every possible externality of driving, doesn’t mean it isn’t a watershed moment in human technological innovation and also massively life-saving and harm-reducing. The externalities of driving are huge

Fusion power you can install on your roof. Throw in a little storage and a decent climate and the power companies are on track to be thoroughly screwed.

It stops applying power to the wheels automatically if you unbuckle or lift yourself off the seat, once AutoPilot goes into the “Take over immediately” state. Of course the human who is actually driving can re-apply power at any time. The c

IMO if you are browsing your B2 buckets with an open browser running arbitrary JavaScript you already lost. If file names are truly sensitive you have to actually be pragmatic in how you choose to render them.

This is exactly the free marketing Tesla expected with releasing the renderings with the yoke. There are also renderings with a traditional wheel buried in the HTML. The outrage drives dozens of articles and a hundred million clicks, making

Aside from personal preference, I would think there are two main reasons to consider replacing animal meat protein with plant protein. Because it could be healthier for the planet, and because it could be healthier for human consumption. I’

Here’s my take on what happened to Robinhood this week. The FTD rate on GME has been extreme even leading up to the massive price spike. When the price rose to $300+ these FTDs could have only increased, and started carrying some very heavy

I don’t think that’s quite right. With SN8 they ended up with low pressure in the header tank and not enough fuel for the turbo pumps. A so called “engine-rich” burn resulted, which is why there’s a flash of green flame. Total thrust was mu

So I'd say the truth came out in an interview late Sunday evening between Elon Musk and Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev. [1] > Tenev explained that while he was sleeping, at 3:30 a.m. PT on Thursday, Robinhood's operations team recei

Where do you get that from? Everything in the rule is about not using customer funds for proprietary purposes. Not co-mingling customer and brokerage funds. Meaning the brokerage can’t make their own trades with customer money. There is

Whether the shorts were naked or not before this started, the shorts are unquestionably bankrupt with GME at or above $300. When shares are traded out from under a short, and there’s no where left to borrow them from, and the hedge funds

There’s zero risk to Robinhood to settle a full-cash Buy of a security, except for counter-party risk not being able to deliver the shares free and clear. Lack of truly real available GME shares are literally the whole issue at hand here,

This is the right way to look at this. Before even counting the regulatory credits, Tesla’s gross margin on their cars is the best in the industry. That means their cars are profitable on their own. Their gross revenue is ~5% from regulat

A lot of people are claiming “customer funds have to be segregated” and that “funds can’t be used to actually buy the security and are not released from the customer account until the trade settles”. I think these are massive oversimplifica

Assuming this is true, what the brokerage needs to do is take a loan against the settled cash they are already holding in escrow for ~24 hours. Suppose a 3% interest rate (which seems high for guaranteed cleared funds), $1 billion for 24 ho
