Colombians are asking that question too. My guess is that Tesla is selling them at a loss to compete against BYD. They may be sending unsold inventory from the US/Mexico market as well.
I love how techmeme rewrites headlines. It removes the clickbait, gives you a clear idea, attaches tweets, reddit and hn links and saves so much time. It's the first thing I see in the morning, every morning.
He seems to have hyperphantasia, judging by every example of mental images he described. It's not a requirement, as the example from the other person on the beach didn't need it to feel that level of self-feeding joy.
But I wonder if aphantastic people have a harder time with this? Or maybe easier with less mental distractions?
And it may be too harsh to judge a whole country and its talent just because a company whose servers are down hire talent there. What about the AWS engineers in those countries? Or Airbnb, Stripe, Twilio, etc?
This is super interesting. What do you think the shape of this project would look like if you were to scale to more people outside of the US? The problem, worldwide, is dramatic.
If hyper evolved kinda-realistic spiders are your thing and their first contact with a highly evolved humanity, I strongly suggest Vernor Vinge's "A Deepness in the Sky".
It also introduced to me the concept of software archeologists.
>We are working on functionality for teams that provides visibility and predictability in product development. Features may include automation around sprints and multi-team workflows. This will be part of our premium plan, and is where the AI comes into play.
I've also been hurt by free tools that disappear after we commit to them but since Tara did AI stuff for PM in the past maybe they already have it in the roadmap.
From an iPad App that made it easier to read blueprints to $875M. Amazing.
I had the fortune of listening to Tracy Young while at YC and the story of the company and her other founder was inspiring. I wonder if this is the shape of what will happen with other companies like Remix (former TransitMix).
For some years now the average YC batch size has been 100+ companies. With so many companies, it's inevitable to select and support competitors. My experience is that conflict of interest is not a thing at that stage.
If you feel like you're competing with other companies at seed/A stage, maybe your market is too small?
The interesting thing about this is that Spectre seems to work in AMD and ARM as well as Intel. (Meltdown is the one that seems to be Intel-only). This contradicts what AMD said today and also contradicts the Intel press release.
ARM did a security advisory but nothing so far from AMD.
What's his worst and best case scenario for the future? Specially regarding energy, transportation and the social effect things like solar, self-driving cars and cheap access to space will bring.
I didn't find any particular strong bias against me due to my race/ethnicity compared to my batchmates. There were ocasional subtle moments of doubt from certain people at first, nothing too obvious.
But I think fundraising was as hard for me as it is for most founders at similar stages. The fact that our company was profitable at Demo Day helped, I guess.
My cofounder went for the O1, I'm in the process of getting an L1.
A tourist visa is a good start as long as you know the rules and limitations. It's 100% legal to start and own a company in the US with a tourist visa.
I know some YCF companies. They loved it. I wanted to move to Mountain View and do the full three month program. But if I couldn't, YCF is a great deal.
