it's written to provoke thought and reflection. the title does the reflection on behalf of the reader which is a disservice.

The actual takeaway question is "is Elon Musk on a frontier of his own — or is the market extrapolating one proven outlier onto an unproven one?" The HN title editorializes its own answer to the author's question.

Congratulations you’ve just described central planning. So “society” should be able to veto a sale, but when payroll is due the owners are on the hook?

Clearly a rorschach for people. The cars were driving autonomously and the improvements in Optimus’ form factor were impressive, so to me it seems pedantic to complain that the bar tending and rock paper scissors weren’t 100% autonomous. Ar

I’m not sure why everyone is positioning this as a “gotcha”. I may be off base, but was it advertised as 100% autonomous? I’m just impressed with the form factor, dexterity, and battery life. Feels like everyone’s grasping at straws to cast

Former GE investor here - everything you've said is spot on. Our modus operandi was that a growth equity investment should _never_ go to zero. The new portfolio thinking has shifted to the right: 1/3 make 1-2x, 1/3 make 2-3x,

Why does facebook continue to allow the running of political ads and all the headache that comes with it (despite it being a minuscule piece of it's overall revenue)? Power. You can see this as being the most tone-deaf way possible to

They clearly learned the power of the preorder with the Model 3! This is a great way to raise funding without going back to the equity markets. Say they can fill up all the founder series slots along with 5,000 regular slots, that’s $500,00

It's seems pretty obvious to me that they replaced the human curated news section with a far (and intentionally) inferior product. They knew people would eventually begin complaining about the new system and ask for the old system back

Apple will be able to appeal this and continue selling phones in the mean time. Pretty interesting regardless considering their investment in Didi last month to gain favor with Beijing. Two possible takes are that this is either a low enoug

I always wonder if anyone notices that, the animation is one of my favorite parts of the site! Thats a great idea about having the collage adapt to the number of photos uploaded. I may see what I can do with that.

The more MVPy version was seeing about 1,500 sign ups per week, but I am hoping this improved feature set bumps that closer to 5,000.

I think you're right. It was out of laziness that I made FB login required, but I think it might help conversion rates if I nix that.

Sure, we actually use Lob.com as our printer. They take care of both the printing and shipping, and have been great so far.

Thanks for the (attempted) support! It seems like there are quite a few people that have the same problem with Facebook. I'm going to add a non-social login as soon as I can.
