We don’t have a tv in the house. And we don’t use our phones/iPad in front of our son. So the only time he sees a screen is when we are changing his diaper. The only exception has been when we are all sick we watch a family movie on th

Correct, as he gets older this won’t work because he will understand what I’m doing. I’ve thought about writing an app that shows a pre set collection of videos from my photo library and then slowly turns down the brightness after a few min

Hi Royce and Oliver, I have a suggestion: look into dimming the screen slowly for the last 30-60 seconds before you pull a person out of the app. This will greatly decrease the annoyance of being pulled out. It gives you time to anticipate

Something I don’t understand: Patagonia's stated mission is to save the earth and microplastics entering the oceans is a major environmental concern. However, it is also true that many of Patagonia's clothes are made from syntheti

The highlights: "I'm not going to spill all the beans right now. But what I can say is that we are going to move to, just, to truly massive scale. Scale that no company has ever achieved in the history of humanity. And that has to

My go-to test search term is: "grass-fed beef restaurant in sf" You do much better than Google (Google will always include "Top 10 Best Grass Fed Organic Steak in San Francisco, CA" from Yelp and then link to places that

What year will GTP be able to take an app written in Swift/SwiftUI and output a spectacular Android translation? 3-years? 5-years? 10-years? This is an interesting benchmark because it is a very difficult problem, however: GTP has both

I tried this Figma plug-in a couple weeks ago. It is quite magical! What previously took me hours in Webflow, now only takes 30s (+ the extra 10-20 mins to format things correctly in Figma). I’m looking forward to using this next time I mak

If you think that is wild, did you know Tesla is worth almost 1,000 Palms! The iPhone launched in '07 & AAPL saw its cap go from $100b → $2,400b in 14 yrs In the same 14 yrs Nokia: $110b → $32b RIM: $72b → $6b Palm: $54b→ $1.2b FYI

As we saw with Inspiration 4, SpaceX is willing to take commissions, thus: This might not be the cheapest way, however, if you can engineer a satellite to last 500 years [1], you could then have SpaceX put it up in orbit for over 500 years[

The sale of Volvo to Geely blows my mind in particular when you realize $1.5b is only 30,000 BTC. Geely bought Volvo for the cost of 6 pizzas [1]. [1] Ford paid $6.5 billion for Volvo in 1999, ten years later, in 2010 10,000 Bitcoins was wo

Every manual job I’ve ever done I’ve probably failed more than 1% of every movement. But then I correct. In a car moving at high speeds (focus matters more), I do this less often, but I have been in crashes.

Fair point, however, I look forward to coming back to this comment in 5 years (1966). Maybe I’ll be eating humble pie, however, my guess is that by then it will be out of prototype phase and in use.

From what I’ve seen FSD makes minor mistakes that at high speeds lead to danger or death. I can’t see a minor mistake in folding laundry leading to the laundry being shredded. Musk said the robots would not be strong (only can lift 5lbs).

It is interesting that many of the top comments are as dismissive as: “No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame,” When you look at Tesla’s talent in: AI + motors + batteries + manufacturing I can’t believe how negative and dismissive the
