You can finance the purchase to avoid upfront payments. And in many cases, the energy savings exceed the finance payments, resulting in a net monthly gain from a cash flow basis with no upfront payment.

I'm the author of the article. Yes, I agree. I think AI reviewers, in their current state, are essentially glorified linters. Much of what they excel at can already be achieved with linting. However, I believe their edge lies in spotti

It's always exciting to see new approaches to code reviews - GitHub has its strengths, but it’s far from perfect. For the scenario you’ve outlined, have you thought about splitting the 3 patches into separate, dependent pull requests?

Agreed, that's a tough pill to swallow. We envisioned trial period to let people make up there mind, but free for the first few users is another route. We'll noodle it when we loop back to pricing. Appreciate the feedback, it&#

We agree! Thanks for adding yourself to the waitlist, I'll make sure you're granted access

Fair question. We're aiming to provide enough value for the price we'll ultimate target. We aren't charging yet, but wanted to provide people with some of our rough thoughts on pricing since it's a common question. For

Thanks for highlighting, we're investigating and should have a fix shortly.

Sorry for the confusion. It's currently only offered as a web application and only works with GitHub. We are working to expand beyond these limitations based on customer needs / interest. I assume your interest is in a desktop

Shameless plug - I'm one of the creators of GitContext ( https://gitcontext.com ), a code review tool which has drawn much inspiration from Critique and others, and would love feedback from anyone who's interested in kic

I tend to agree, because if Google doesn't, OpenAI et al will. The real question is how does Google balance this against the loss in advertising revenue?

Thanks for replying on this thread, PC. I'm curious to get your take on how this plays out for customers with large average transaction values ($500+)? Stripe's cost to process and refund a payment, while not zero, is generally fl

Can't help but find it ironic the winner of the 2018 Levchin Prize for Advancements in Real-World Cryptography has an invalid SSL certificate on his research website.

For reference, the previous commenter was talking about AL's 7 congressional districts. US congressional districts are defined based on population (they're suppose to be equally sized intra-state).

I would propose viewing Tesla as an energy storage company, not a car company (JB and Elon both think of Tesla this way). The car is a battery on wheels, and the battery is the product. They're not trying to be the next BMW, and atte

In Tesla case, it's because the non-GAAP numbers represent how they view and make decisions about their business internally. It makes them look better in some dimensions and worse in others. They report on it because it gives insight

Interesting hypothesis. A quick look at YC's top companies by market cap seems to back it up: Airbnb: 3 design centric cofounders DropBox: 2 tech cofounders Stripe: 2 tech cofounders

Just for clarification, Tesla's initial estimates for Gigafactory production was 35GW/year at the cell level and 50GW/year at the pack level (with some cells produced by other suppliers). At the shareholder meeting they spec

Here's the actual data for the Tesla Model S. Far superior to the Leaf and inline with the roadster. No need to compre apples to oranges. http://my.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/battery-degradation-f...

Musk is a great marketer. I would be reluctant to conclude BYD doesn't have the attention of great engineers though. There's a very large talent pool to pull from in China. All told, more energy storage production is a good thin

The amount of lithium available in known reserves that are profitable to extract at today's prices is very large. We won't be running into constraints anytime soon. And while lithium makes for a good battery anode now, it would be

Thanks for the response, Patrick. We run a platform with a large average transaction value, large enough that 0.5% is very meaningful. We would love to take over the onboarding process and entire user experience, but 0.5% is too much to s
