    Optimus Competition

    So the one that was supposed to pick up the sweater tried to hand it on the peg in the meeting room but obviously missed and just dropped it on the floor. Then just stood there for like 30 seconds until the gal asked to have the cup picked up. And the one wiping up the puddle of soy sauce or...

    Universal Basic Income (UBI) is coming

    Yang called his UBI a "freedom dividend". The idea that, as citizens, we should all benefit from the productivity of our economy. He often said, paraphrasing, "it's not socialism, it's capitalism where income doesn't start at zero" In other words you're free to earn as much as you wish on top of...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    "We have prototype one and two being assembled in our factory. 6 passengers plus a pilot. To get the prototype off the ground it still needs a bunch of motors and our batteries. First assembly trail of the full pack was completed last week. There a few bugs to fix, but nothing major. We need a...

    My best friend is leading the design of the battery enclosure for Lilium. Crazy challenge. He's basically inventing a new material. We were talking about how to perform a dielectric withstand test on a panel of the substance the other day. Stock has been doing well. He said it's because Lilium...

    In all my years watching the stock, I don't think I've ever seen it move in such an exact inverse of VTI as it has today.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I dunno. I tried my best to justify, economically, the cost of buying a Tesla and it just doesn't pencil out compared with keeping my old golf. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1m-HU4LNLfjbo3FOZk6SbNv3R_Ro7cM2N/edit?usp=drivesdk&ouid=115126032459488159390&rtpof=true&sd=true

    Early X, USB A or C?

    Looking at buying a 2017-2019 Model X. Trying to figure out whether the USB ports in the car (for charging phones & stuff) are USB A or USB C. Thanks.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I'm late to the climate change party but I'm surprised nobody mentioned Elon's frequent advocacy for a carbon tax and his, correct, opinion that it an unpriced negative externality. I sure wish this idea would get some traction. In fact I think I prefer that approach to handing people cash to...

    Cold car antecdote: my Golf TDI failed to start this afternoon. 19F when I parked it at work this morning. My strong suspicion is that the intercooler is full of ice and blocking airflow to the motor. This is condensed water vapor from combustion introduced by the low pressure EGR. Functioning...
