I think some of this might be offset by the fact that this plan doesn't seem to focus on just cars. A solar product described in the first step of the plan could help fund the cars.


SolarCity is not exactly a success story[1]. The more likely scenario is Tesla continues to burn through even more money after purchasing it.

Solar offers even longer time to payoff/profit. It's a long term bet... even longer than Tesla's current profile IMHO.


A lot of people i know default, including me, to using snapchat as their main camera in most situations. You can download whatever you take a picture of through the app and choose not to post it at all. It has all the features i need from the camera plus some basic photo editing. Also the reverse isn't true: I cant take a picture through the normal camera then choose to post it to snapchat. this both locks you into using the Snapchat camera and ensures that most pics you see on snapchat are taken in the moment, which is very important to the app. btw I'm 23


Very Cool! I've been thinking a lot about decentralized social networks and the value that they could bring. With companies I love like Soundcloud so far in the red, it is only time until they go under or change fundamentally. I think this idea of decentralized feeds fits very well with the current state of music, many different artists, collectives, and labels that basically only exist on the internet. If anyone wants to explore the idea with me I am very open to it!


Cool website! But your scroll is super messed up. On my macbook scrolling up and down has no effect, but pinch and depinch with scroll the page.


If livecoding keeps acting like this they are gonna lose whatever foothold they currently have of coding live streaming. With twitch.tv's recent announcment to open up streaming to creatives it is only a matter of time until they capture this audience too.


I love meteor and can wait for galaxy! atmosphere is awesome, so I can only expect something amazing.

The react integrate is pretty cool too I just did a trello clone to learn more about react https://github.com/hipstersmoothie/react-meteor-trello

Now I just need a new project to use react with!


This is awesome! Will definitely use it to throw a quick stream of older Music Videos up on the television. It would be cool to see a list of that month's videos or be able to customize the stream a little.

For those who miss place to discover current artists through music videos, I built http://kikbak.tv. It goes through blogs hourly to create a top 100 chart for the day. Artists spend so much money on music videos and there are no popular discovery platforms! I truly miss mtv, so let's rebuild it somehow.


I actually think that's the exact opposite of the original point, and it simply should be left alone to be what it is. By "customizing" the selection, it loses a large majority of the nostalgia.

Maybe... just maybe... have the default be this way, and a tiny tiny link saying "click here for the new web 2.0, users are in control, why not just search youtube yourself, upvote this, downvote that... empowering... customizable... have it your way, right away at burger king now version"


Awesome! Yeah I miss good music video channels and that's why I created this; and I think there is an opportunity to make video channels better than ever, with a little help of algorithms you can do things like checking user patterns (e.g. this guy always skips country music, lets ask him if the app should always avoid country music, and so on)


One of the biggest problems in our government was never implementing a way to refactor without grand upheaval. Also they didn't really think about scale very well and campaign funding restrictions. I feel we are in a place right now where special interest is more important than public.


Hi all! My roommate and I are Seniors at Cal Poly SLO and we built this webapp over the past couple of weeks. It is much like the acquired wearehunted, the dead twitter music, and the new wonder.fm except with music videos! Kikbak.tv goes through hundreds of blogs all day looking for new music videos. Once we find them, our server starts to track the social shares and plays associated with it. This gets transformed into a top 100 chart that changes throughout the day as videos get posted to blogs and the videos themselves get more popular. I would love feedback, thanks!


This is awesome! I've been building an app with a grid that scrolls horizontally and this is the best solution! Getting this pattern in html is really hard:

      1 4 7 10
      2 5 8 11
      3 6 9 12
Other than than columns, which dont respond the screen size that well, this is the only good option. Thanks for educating me!
