Comment Simpsons did it ... (Score 1) 151

"The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots."

Comment Bad writeup summary (Score 1) 235

The people who got more money had 1500 less income ... because they were ahead by 10500.

And the kicker ... "with participants’ partners reducing their hours worked by a comparable amount" - which means a household isn't *required* to be a 2 household income. (or 2 FTE household) ... Which gives leverage/time to care for family.

Comment 2 metrics for stablecoin to be feasible (Score 4, Insightful) 45

1) Transaction time under 3 seconds
2) Cost less than 2% of purchase price

And that's just to compete with tap to pay credit cards or apple/google pay.

And if a credit card, you get fraud detection, ability to simply reverse / dispute transactions, and some other misc features.

So just to be considered - you gotta be better than 1,2. But fraud support is also a HUGE value add.

Comment Overvalued if just a car company (Score 1) 289

If you think Tesla is a car company - then it's overvalued.

If you think Tesla is a battery company that happens to sell cars - then the valuation is closer to correct.

The real key to their offering is batter management. Taking tons of little batteries as commodities and making them appear as one big battery. Then resizing that big battery for accomplishing things which at the time was expensive. Such as powering a car or a house.

Comment Tax it (Score 1) 274

Make all management distributions a taxable. Or better ... make all management distributions above a % of education payouts at a taxed penalty. Then the donors will want more accountability since some money is going to the government instead of fund managers.
