Companies want the ability to use things like emails, names, and other data for user experiences (go to settings, see name and change it), advertising (target this address book for X ad), etc. So these are typically plaintext (oversimplified) and accessible by different systems while passwords or private keys have one use case only and can have a higher bar of protection.

Minimum Wage Clock 3 years ago

This. I am okay showing total comp, but the numbers also seem...weird? Like Zuck makes $1/year salary. $27m/year which is mostly security expenses if I remember correctly, but has by far the largest net worth (of those listed) which is what people care about. And his stock appreciation is vastly higher than that shown.

Speaking of electric bikes, does anyone have any good recommendation for somebody looking to get started in biking in general for commuting purposes? I'm not a historical biker and not looking to replace the ~20 mile radius I drive with this, but ~3-5 mile radius including smaller grocery trips and going out for dinner/meeting friends/office trips is what I am looking for. If I commit to this happy to upgrade over time, so not looking to go all out now.

There are often regulations requiring you give users notice before making these changes. So beginning yesterday would provide 30 days notice (1 full month) allowing people time to react, respond, etc.

Could also be that if you only purchase 1 item from a store you might forget the stores name, but referrals for large purchases are likely a big driver of their business so they want to make sure you do remember where you got this from in the hopes you can refer one person to make a purchase.

A multi-thousand dollar purchase is likely worth it for an extra $15 in targeted ads to somebody.

A big part of being allowed to take your hands off the wheel is probably "how do I detect the hands are on the wheel?". In current S/X with no interior camera the way autopilot works is you have to "yank" the wheel every now and then to prove you have your hands on. Requiring constant "yanking" wouldn't work, and there are often long stretches of roads on highways (where Autopilot is meant to work) that wouldn't require any movement of the wheel at all so they wouldn't know the difference between hands on or off unless you "yanked" it.

Tesla essentially went from test production in Q3 to matching Model S/X weekly production by the end of Q4.

While they are still ~6 months behind schedule, the way they are able to kick off an entirely new line is still impressive in it's own regard.

Remember, Elon Standard Time.

I'm still awaiting for the update myself or to hear from others on what kind of battery drain to expect from 12 hours of use. Super excited for this feature though.

(personal antidote) I had 3 pairs of headphones I primarily used pre-removal of the headphone jack. 2 bluetooth (working out and @work) and the third was a nice pair for at home listening. I have no problems with a dongle always connected to my nice pair, and have actually found myself using bluetooth more often regardless of Aux port availability.

Agreed 100% on these points. My traditional behavior now is to stop all shipments, if there is a new type of meal/technique in one of the weeks then I order there. Typically get about 1 shipment every 4-5 weeks instead of weekly.

This is an example of just Facebook. I think all big time VCs have turned down mega companies that would have made them $$$$$.

Also, Zuck did have a crazy grind work ehtic which would have gotten him most likely 1 point. And he did have a good history of projects he had built before and shown competence, maybe not multi-million dollar ventures but a lot of good chops.
