If you listen to Musk you have to ignore his style and focus on the content. This is even more true for Peter Thiel, who gives fantastic interviews where you can feel his brain working on full steam to give replies that really answer the questions.
Still, Musk's reaction on the phone conference was a bit unusual even by his standards and I suspect he already regrets acting like that.
Keep in mind that currently only the more expensive Model 3 is produced, which is supposed to yield in higher profit (or lower loss in Tesla's case) than the base model, which most people want.
And the model Y will be a manufacturing revolution? I would be more inclined to believe that it if Tesla got their shít together on producing the Model 3.
Finally Musk's behaviour on the phone conference was more than awkward. The pressure seems to be leaving marks on him.
Because if these researchers are correct a long distance flight will suddenly expose you to a few million time the radiation compared to having taken an X-ray. Now that sounds scary.
"One of the problems has to do with the speed of light and
the difficulties involved in trying to exceed it. You can't. Nothing
travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception
of bad news, which obeys its own special laws. The Hingefreel
people of Arkintoofle Minor did try to build spaceships that were
powered by bad news but they didn't work particularly well and
were so extremely unwelcome whenever they arrived anywhere
that there wasn't really any point in being there."
Me (watching 6 year old son play Minecraft): Who are all those people running around?
Son: Those are villagers.
Me: And where do they come from?
Son: Why, of course from eggs!
In the movie Blade Runner (and even in Philip K. Dick's novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" from 1968 on which the film is based on) there is an elaborate test to distinguish humans from androids, which is called a Voight-Kampff-Test (conducted with a Voight-Kampff device).
This is exactly what a captcha does - distinguishing humans from non-humans. Therefore shouldn't we rename captchas to "Voight-Kampff-Tests", because that name is clearly older and therefore the original (and it's a cool name)?
Focusing on improving the core technology is the right decision IMHO. Recent performance improvements have been quite impressive, and the distance to Chrome has become really small.
Nevertheless I would really like to see a way to measure webworker performance. Sometimes I have the feeling that there is quite some fluctuation. For example when I work with iconfu.com, sometimes the icons get rendered blazingly fast, and sometimes it takes seconds. Not sure what is causing this, also since I cannot measure webworker performance, there is not really an easy way to find out.
Looks more like production problems on Tesla's side, since they already had them when they were tinkering together the Model 3 launch batch. This was only a few hundred cars, so it cannot be due to huge demand. Even now it is extremely unlikely that Tesla ist anywhere near the output that they had planned for December, so if the Gigafactory should easily be able to deliver enough cells if it was running at full capacity.
A few years ago there was a woman in Germany that seemed to have been involved in all kinds of spectacular crimes, mostly murder. Her DNA was found on various crime scenes that seemed totally unrelated, She must have been the most wanted criminal for a while and was called the "Phantom". There was a $400,000 reward put on her head
Of course it turned out in a slightly different way than police had expected. The DNA that was found was actually from a female factory worker packaging the cotton swabs that were used by German police to collect DNA, so these DNA traces were simply a contamination. Here is the whole story: http://content.time.com/time/w...
You can expect something similar from the bacteria on the ISS. Everybody of course wants some spectacular news, but unfortunately there are far more mundane ways how the bacteria could have ended up there.

You may know that some websites use scripts to record everything from a session, every keystroke and mouse move. And they don't feel oblidged to inform you that they are doing this.
Was at a store today and already decided on a Surface Laptop. Looked it up online just for final confirmation and saw that battery is glued completely into the device, replacement impossible. WTF, Microsoft?
Exactly, every election ever has been influenced by social engineering. A friend's eight year old son recently was elected the class's representative. When his parents asked him how he did that, he said that he wrote his name in bigger letters than the others on the blackboard.
Especially Firefox's flexbox implementation had a noticable performance issue when used with many child elements. Much of this has been solved, which is really great.
On websites like https://www.iconfu.com/ where a lot of computing is done inside the browser, you can still feel a slight performance difference, but it is almost negligible. It feels nice to have a real competition again.

Sorry, it's only 40% YoY, the 60% is compared with Q4 2017, which probably is due to an incentive running out in Norway.
Not sure why we dont't read this anywhere, but a sales drop of over 60% YoY in Europe is quite a shocker.

And because everything is as expected esla stock is down 7.5% today?

that's just like, ah, your opinion, man.
and disappointments for the present.

Only Captain Obvious could have seen this coming.

Anyway, keep up the great work!
It was full of marketing buzzwords. After I had finished reading I had no clue what Slack is about. And honestly, I am not too keen on finding out.

...a decent living from Patreon, how is average artist Joe supposed to do so?

Honest question. Would you be able to cash in this amount in bitcoin? If so, who would do that?
