High load in the day during sunlight is mostly true for summer heat, but in the winter you have cold evenings which requires base load or storage, combined with solar angle/efficiency being worse in the winter.
Why is this comment upvoted?
It is most likely AI generated with a nice "Raised $50B" hallucination and filled with cliches ("thrown down the gauntlet", "mountain you don’t climb just once", "not for the faint of heart").
Yes. Kenji Lopez has done this experiment using sous vide cooking.

You can just make an IsAdmin() public function to expose it.
A16Z had an article on the lack of IPOs:

Regulatory compliance like Sarbanes Oxley is another huge factor. And VC's having large capital pools make it easy for companies to stay private vastly longer without needing to raise funding from the public.
It's very unfortunate for the public markets, as basic only VC's and PE get access to high growth young companies. Now most of the growth is squeezed out by the VC's and the public gets just the tail end of mature companies.
It just summarized this page and included a few of the images.
I investigated both and implemented OIDC. It was difficult, but compared to the SAML and XML complexity, I'd say it was much easier.
June 4th. Not recent news.
Although this is a clear case of self-dealing by Musk.
General question when running a single member LLC: how do you determine how much to take as salary versus business profit, and how does that affect your taxes?
I'm guessing tax liability is mostly a wash, as if you are taxed as an S-Corp, you pass through the profit into personal income and pay income tax on that.
Kyle Mitchell is a lawyer that can program, and has done a ton of open source work on legal docs: https://projects.kemitchell.com/

"Loser pays" is a better and simpler legal system.
1 MW charger per truck, if you need to super charge. Equivalent to approximately 1000 homes.
This is a huge burden on the electrical grids, and Tesla or EV's get to hand that problem to someone else.
The only way this makes sense at scale is if we had nuclear power, and charging was done at night.
It's the new HaaS business model: Hardware as a Service.
@dang, can you change the display for (threads.net) to be like twitter, where it shows the username to the right of the post title?
For example, threads.net/@quiverquantitative
Get a Carbon Steel pan instead.
These are similar metal composition to cast iron, where you can season them with oils, but are forged (ie pressed) into shape, rather than cast. So you get a smooth surface, which is easier for non-stick use and lighter weight.
Carbon steel are better for eggs, omelettes, etc, but cast iron are often better for steaks/meats, because they retain heat better. There are tons of videos on Youtube if you are curious.
Exactly.
This is akin to selling a calibrated 1 kilogram cube of lead, with a precision of 1 nanogram and specified purity, for $1000. You are not just buying an overpriced $3 block of lead, but one that can be precisely used for calibrating machines, equipment, or processes.
Not good when a CFO abruptly resigns (or is fired). Usually companies project this quarters ahead to the public, with a soft notice that "XYZ will be retiring next year".
Yes, Kirkhorn "will continue to serve Tesla through the end of the year to support a seamless transition", but this reads as a rush notice.
His IR page is also gone:
I'd suggest watching the 1420 channel, where they interview Russians on the street. Many of the older generation have a nostalgia of life under communism, whereas the younger generation is more skeptical.
Here's one of the interviews:
Looks like their web site is offline now:

And the LinkedIn profile is gone:
My guess would be the first prototype is a substitute for chicken nuggets.
Gold and silver are recognized as legal tender.
Is it possible this is a satellite re-entry?
For example, this Starlink was predicted for re-entry a few hours before, on March 11.

Yet another new precedent by the Fed and FDIC. All depositors are now guaranteed their funds if a bank fails.
This is the definition of Moral Hazard [1].
How is the FDIC going to turn a profit?
Every company who has deposits there are going to wire it out once reopens. You can't make money if you have no deposits.
The worst part about this is if SVB does get bailed out by the government, everyone will wire their money out anyway. YC is not going to leave their money if it's back stopped again.
So the message is: "Please shore up and reopen SVB, so we can get our funds out. Then you can shut it back down."
This is basically the same as the VC fund model. They get annual carry (ie percentage) on every fund, and then get a percentage of the gains for every exit.
Often this is "two and twenty" (aka 2% annual carry, plus 20% of the gains). Pretty awesome skimming.
This is an impressively thorough and quite insightful M&A overview.
However, it is completely one-sided toward the buyer (ie GitLab).
As a seller, I'd be wary of going through even a fraction of the pre-term-sheet diligence and disclosure, without getting to a ballpark on acquisition price (or price methodology) beforehand.
Also, they don't mention, but having escrow set up as an insurance in case the acquirer backs out also seems necessary (ie % of the deal held with third party). Otherwise you are basically giving away all your company secrets and time, and if they back out, you get nothing.
I'd guess YCombinator has something equivalent from the seller side. It would be great if they shared their M&A handbook at some point in the future, although I understand it's probably considered "secret sauce".
Client side decryption has the benefit that no machine or router in the middle can view or cache the decrypted page without the password.
"Whistleblower awards can range from 10 to 30 percent of the money collected when the monetary sanctions exceed $1 million."
That's a big sanction.
There are a few Bosch models with dishwasher salt dispensers, but it’s extremely rare in the US.
It’s a great idea, given most municipalities have hard water.
