At my company we built this (open source) tool for authoring knowledge graphs https://extensionengine.com/ee-labs/

I'm pretty sure history doesn't not count orderly bubble deflations. It's like recording non-car accidents. I'm not suggesting this article is likely true, I'm just skeptical that there has never been an orderly bubble deflation.

And this is different from a vacation how?

Pretty common.

That charity doesn't exist without our government to setup and run the legal, tax, postal, transportation, employment and other systems that enable the charity. Just sayin'...

I agree with the folks who see this as a serious risk to TSLA. If you've driven a Model S or Model X you know that the design, the software and the performance are insane, but the fit and finish (especially of the interior) is like a 1980s Cadillac. When BMW and Benz start making EVs, TSLA is going to be pushed hard and could likely end up becoming a software or powertrain T1 supplier.

Pretty awesome! Just used it and it worked easy-peasy! Now if I could only upload a boat load of addresses...

We recently completed shooting two online courses (MOOCs) using an Interrotron and I definitely think it makes for a more intimate experience between the subject and the viewer, but as with all tech, the interviewer still matters a lot. It doesn't just magically work. You still have to engage and draw out the subject.

I have been using an Oculus Rift for a few weeks and the experience is breathtaking. For example, there is an Apollo 11 educational game where you get to experience the mission from the point of view of Neil Armstrong or Michael Collins. I think it is hard to argue that "experiencing" history isn't far superior than reading about it. And the pure games like EVE Valkrie give you a cold sweat they are so immersive. Just my The cost right now are high, but no more than an iPhone. I think mainstream isn't too far away. My $0.02 at least.

This makes sense as I installed Booking.com's app about the same time as I upgraded and now I have a brick-phone...

I just test drove a TSLA car today. I "summoned" the car from its parking spot. I then drove around town (in insane mode). Turned on autopilot and the car drove down the highway by itself (changing lanes when directed). Went back and then car perpendicular parked itself.

So, ya, it's basically a software company.

Pretty soon I'm going to need an Uber for all these Ubers...

And we are spending another trillion dollars on this?!

As a kid, I became a fan of Sir Richard Francis Burton via the science fiction novel series by Philip Jose Farmer called the Riverworld.

Burton was an amazing character and it's fun to read about his "real" life and contract that to my memories of his science fiction (after)life.

This is a great opportunity....to raise $$ from investors. Every startup knows that they have to convince investors "why to invest" but fewer know that they also have to convince them "why now?" Having a company sniffing around the fringes is a big motivating factor for potential VCs. It also can be a serious motivator for the "big company" if there are VCs interested as well. They willingness to acquire you at a premium can be driven by their assessment of the probability of "taking out a well funded competitor".

So, a long way of saying, if you're going to talk with them in detail, make sure that you also talk to some investors at the same time (Google BATNA).

Interesting point: "The data supports this idea: If you start drinking or taking drugs with peers before age 18, you have a 25% chance of becoming addicted, but if your use starts later, the odds drop to 4%. Very few people without a prior history of addiction get hooked later in life, even if they are exposed to drugs like opioid painkillers."

Sitting is the new smoking. This thing is like the e-cig of chairs...

Don't forget HBX Live too.

Sort of like Netflix getting into original content a la Kevin Spacey and House of Cards. Brilliant.
