High load in the day during sunlight is mostly true for summer heat, but in the winter you have cold evenings which requires base load or storage, combined with solar angle/efficiency being worse in the winter.

Why is this comment upvoted? It is most likely AI generated with a nice "Raised $50B" hallucination and filled with cliches ("thrown down the gauntlet", "mountain you don’t climb just once", "not for the f

A16Z had an article on the lack of IPOs: https://a16z.com/where-have-all-the-ipos-gone/ Regulatory compliance like Sarbanes Oxley is another huge factor. And VC's having large capital pools make it easy for compa

I investigated both and implemented OIDC. It was difficult, but compared to the SAML and XML complexity, I'd say it was much easier.

General question when running a single member LLC: how do you determine how much to take as salary versus business profit, and how does that affect your taxes? I'm guessing tax liability is mostly a wash, as if you are taxed as an S-Co

1 MW charger per truck, if you need to super charge. Equivalent to approximately 1000 homes. This is a huge burden on the electrical grids, and Tesla or EV's get to hand that problem to someone else. The only way this makes sense at s

Get a Carbon Steel pan instead. These are similar metal composition to cast iron, where you can season them with oils, but are forged (ie pressed) into shape, rather than cast. So you get a smooth surface, which is easier for non-stick use

Exactly. This is akin to selling a calibrated 1 kilogram cube of lead, with a precision of 1 nanogram and specified purity, for $1000. You are not just buying an overpriced $3 block of lead, but one that can be precisely used for calibrati

Not good when a CFO abruptly resigns (or is fired). Usually companies project this quarters ahead to the public, with a soft notice that "XYZ will be retiring next year". Yes, Kirkhorn "will continue to serve Tesla through t

I'd suggest watching the 1420 channel, where they interview Russians on the street. Many of the older generation have a nostalgia of life under communism, whereas the younger generation is more skeptical. Here's one of the interv

How is the FDIC going to turn a profit? Every company who has deposits there are going to wire it out once reopens. You can't make money if you have no deposits.

The worst part about this is if SVB does get bailed out by the government, everyone will wire their money out anyway. YC is not going to leave their money if it's back stopped again. So the message is: "Please shore up and reopen

This is basically the same as the VC fund model. They get annual carry (ie percentage) on every fund, and then get a percentage of the gains for every exit. Often this is "two and twenty" (aka 2% annual carry, plus 20% of the gai

This is an impressively thorough and quite insightful M&A overview. However, it is completely one-sided toward the buyer (ie GitLab). As a seller, I'd be wary of going through even a fraction of the pre-term-sheet diligence and dis
