These seem like theories, not laws. And imho, some of it is very wrong, such as:
> Purposefully adding a delay to a process can actually increase its perceived value and instill a sense of trust, even when the process itself actually takes much less time.
It's owned by a Chinese company from what I understand. I don't think they have a particular bone with Aaron, but generally just believe in deleting inconvenient controversies.
What is it? Seams like it's an implementation of ecc,but does what? A p2p chat? ::Shrugs:: I'm not sure the failure to adopt your one elusive product speaks for the entire pop.
When Elon said he thought Twitter should be more like WeChat, I thought he meant payment features and the like, but nope, just censorship of things he doesn't like and boosting things he does.
Well....it is certainly more like WeChat now. Mission accomplished!
Teaching conversational English online can easily earn $15-25/hr, especially if you have an American accent. The hours might be weird but once you have some students, they become consistent.
The problem here they are charging $2,000 for a $200 panel.
I do not believe it adds much more to the manufacturing as the raw cost + sunk cost of automated design.
Also, I live in Vegas and am usually parked in direct sun, almost all of his arguments are completely mute in most of south west US, and Australia. Yeah, totally agreed it's a stupid option in high density foggy London. Author needs to travel a bit, IMHO
Your analysis has some merit, but I still wouldn't agree overall.
First, he can't sell any of that 5.7%. Collateral is an all or nothing deal, like any other loan. Technically who ever collects it may not sell it either, they may hold onto it rather than dump it, but it is entirely their decision.
Second, he owns about 21% of TSLA (so the web tells me). And Twitter lost 1.14B in 2020. That is likely to be a steeper loss this year. Selling 1+B / year - with very little end in sight to the pain - will eat into his remaining 15% share. Liquidating 1+ B a year of stock is not a trivial amount and it will not be looked on favorably by investors. It will signal his pet project is more important than his very serious business - a business where investors have been all to happy to short in the past.
IDK, just my opinion. Not financial advice, obviously.
I have no choice but to short Tesla stock, no matter how much I like the technology or company. Elon's 30B stake he put up to buy Twitter will have to be sold when the Twitter revenue dries up - and with advertisers and big names leaving that path is inevitable. He really doesn't realize that once you lose market penetration, your done forever no matter how nice you make it. Myspace taught us that. They had a beautiful revamp once upon a time, but it was too late. Facebook ate it's lunch. Same will happen here, only worse.
Rebuilt the entire app UI for Onelogin. The ceo - who made the original UI - was refusing to launch it. The sales team wasn't able to close a single deal on the legacy UI though and forced him to release it. I made a whopping 36k from the company sale 10 years later, so I have that going for me.
Well, yeah - For a minimum of $20/month just for the personal license!?! and THEN I need to still pay for my own infrastructure, AND run all the setup, etc.
mine is free and as easy as 1,2,3:
npm i -g tolocal
tolocal config -> answer the 3-4 questions about domain, vpc, etc.
tolocal apply. -> tunnel will come up to my own custom domain.
Unfortunately none of those solutions are self hosted AND automated. They all seem to either use their own ifra, which will be slow & throttled, or require setting up a server and manually editing DNS.
I may try to get my own project added to that list though, so thanks for sharing!
Or more realistically, if you are in web dev and wanted to show your work on your local machine - say when the CEO wants to 'check in and see how its going', you can just send them a link on slack and they can play with what your developing on.
