    > we’ve heard from our partners making $2M, $5M and even $10M a year that their services are still on a path to self-sustaining orbit. What does this even mean? "on a path to self-…

    I'll be interested to see how SpaceX tries to get the word out to rural Canadians once it launches. None of Elon's current companies have had to do any traditional marketing yet, b…

    I think what you're missing is that Tesla's Autopilot is not done. It's clearly labeled "Beta" when you enable it in the car. The goal of Tesla's Autopilot is to take you from your…

    I recently had a client ask me to pay them with Transferwise. It was a horrible experience. After weeks of trying to get it to work, even with the help of support, we eventually ga…

    Most auto production lines don't need EV-size batteries. The post above specifically says batteries are the bottleneck, so it isn't really evidence that something is "terribly wron…

    Reddit just recently announced they're no longer open source [1]. The last source dump could still be used, but I think they choose not to just out of a statement that they're agai…

    The view numbers surely get used during contract negotiations, though. When a movie's contract runs out and Netflix needs to figure out how much they're willing to bid to renew it,…

    Where does your link say that swastikas are not allowed? Does a swastika "encourage or incite violence"? I'm curious since I don't ban swastikas on my site, although some of my use…

    For example, something that should be 15-2 votes, ends up being 95-82. It's all in the presentation. If you just highlight one image and stamp "WINNER" next to it, most people won'…

    they'll just sit there tapping the first picture until they reach their target. You'll get lots of votes, they'll just be useless. Some people would do this, but as long as you ran…
