How are these firms able to buy at such low rates? I thought these loans were reserved for owner-occupied homes.

With a Tesla it’s only 20 minutes to get 80% charge. It would be more than sufficient to do the LA to SF drive. I’d imagine most people would want to stop at least that long during the drive just to stretch their legs.

Re:Middle-Class Families Increasingly Look to Community Colleges

I was able to find this site that compares average income by where students went to college.
CSU Stanislaus: $47,000 (early career), $90,300 (mid career) MIT: $81,500 (early career), $147,000 (mid career)
Early career is 0-5 years experience. Mid career is 10+ years experience.

Obviously, we can't say that prestige of college and income are causal but the correlation is definitely there.

I'd imagine these would be added to all fares so as a price comparison tool it'd still be valid.

That was the biggest thing I missed about Win7 when I switched over to OSX. However, there are several third-party apps that will give you a Win7-like window management experience. I use Spectacle.

Re:How we wrote our app for MS Office 2013

I was the program manager who worked on the Word APIs. The Javascript APIs were not meant to be a replacement for the power of VBScript. Instead, we optimized design for apps that could be used between various Office products. The only Word-specific APIs are around manipulating CustomXMLParts.

From a 30,000 foot level how does IFTTT and Zapier differentiate from each other? IIRC, Zapier is focusing more on business-related APIs but those are lines that I see eventually becoming very blurry.

I was part of the 2nd cohort to go through Imagine K12. It was an amazing experience. They definitely helped us really define our company during its formative stages and are still a great resource for us. We wouldn't be where we are today without their support. If you're at all interested in edtech, I highly suggest you apply. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
