Sure, “kind of like” how the Nazi Party usurped Germany a hundred years ago. Why don’t you have a civil discourse with people who believe in slavery? Give me a break.

There’s no discussion to be had when you’re FOR equality and the other side is arguing against it. There’s equality and fairness. The rest is garbage. There’s no need to meet in between and compromise. If you compromise with shtty ideas you are gonna get sht on your shirt.

Disagree. This is yet another sign that there’s enough shenanigans happening in the market. If something this blatant can happen in the wide open imagine what other companies are hiding in the dark.

This so much. He did it out in the open and admitted repeatedly that everything is outsourced. I mean anyone with a million or two can put together a hydrogen fuel cell truck that “runs”. No science/engineering background or even passing interest in learning the tech he sells.

I am really sorry but most “science” coming out of even the top institutions these days are sadly uninspired garbage regurgitations.

This so much. I cannot stress enough what an impact various python developments have had on the economy as a whole. Sometimes the right tools can inspire people and that’s exactly what happened.

To be fair, how many people can say otherwise? That you’re working for something more than money? Creatives? And people with “fk you” money? It’s ridiculously hard to go against the establishments and most people fail doing so.

Years back someone asked me an interview question to explain sd and confidence intervals. I just gave the wrong answers and left. Especially in nascent fields such as ML and DS, it’s very important to work with people who actually know what they are doing. Otherwise you will have wasted years of your precious twenties doing absolutely nothing productive.

Nikola isn’t really an innovator in my view. They take what’s out in the market and assemble them which is not really that practical when it comes to manufacturing vehicles. This is like me saying I have an automobile company for nuclear powered trucks. And they should be valued as such.

There are a lot of electric car manufacturers putting in real work such as Bollinger Motors.

I think it’s best to stay language agnostic especially in 2020. I try to think data-in data-out and use the best tools available for clean execution.
