I can’t wait until private equity companies are exposed as the exploitive side of our current system that needs to be corrected. At the heart of so many good companies are bad decisions driven by PE structures and personalities, most of who

We need to cut spending . Spending is OUT OF CONTROL. You can’t make up in taxes what you keep spending, and deficit spending is insane right now. Why is this not part of the conversation? I have no problem paying higher taxes, but without

This is just a social credit system designed to control behavior, but attached to your workplace instead of your person. The proof is simple. If you move this system from a single workplace to multiple workplaces with an ID for the worker,

Mad respect for live demoing in a talk on conference Wi-Fi. There is something to authenticity and embracing potential failure that flies in the face of the well manicured presentation culture we have today that needs to come back. As long

This is beautiful. Thank you. I think people don’t understand how important just being there for your family actually is. Sometimes it’s enough just to be reliable, stand for good and just be present. Sounds like he really knew it.

What’s the status in insurance for this thing? Generally this doesn’t seem like it would be covered under renters insurance. I can’t imagine a landlord in existence that wouldn’t throw a fit about something like this.

They are limited by insurance rules in each state and federal. The patchwork of consumer protection regulation makes for a lot of weird effects, like the one you are discussing. They are not limited in profit, but they are limited in what t

This is the way it’s always been done and it’s highly effective. The move to welding it to the frame doesn’t make it less reliable, it saves manufacturing cost and complexity.

The parts market transformation for tier-1 parts suppliers is far more complicated. What’s happening is that the legacy parts (panels) are coming from a different management pool than the EV components and parts suppliers are scrambling to

I am not debating potential or technology, but the higher industry repair costs. Theory meets the road so to speak. I think it’s likely an artificially created profit center to keep the upfront cost of vehicles very low, as in Tesla’s case.

This is correct. I am currently working on a system to do price and purchase monitoring and optimize people’s purchasing. One of the things that I keep having to work around is dynamic real-time personalized pricing systems as they are more

Don’t a lot of places capture methane from their landfills for energy? How can the quantities be unknown when you’re capturing and messing the output gases? This can’t be some magical surprise.
