Does the article establish a causal link?

Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good

If Elon Musk gets taken down, then humanity should probably just throw in the towel.

We (humanity) are in a boat that is taking on water rapidly. The guy working the hardest to patch the leaks is Elon Musk and all those that work at his companies (they definitely aren't working there for the money or the lifestyle)

Solar City is a part of this vision.

Articles like this and the comments section here at hacker news are making me very depressed about our prospects.

He (and all the brilliant people at his companies who work so hard) are delivering to humanity, a future where we produce and consume energy sustainably, and are out in space exploring our solar system. Everyone at the companies is there because on some level they believe in this vision. So I (and many Tesla shareholders like me) am willing to look the other way with respect to his fiduciary responsibility.

There are better targets out there.

I feel like journalists just put facebook between a rock and hard place.

"Facebook is sharing data with company X, arrrggh"

"Facebook isn't sharing data with Academics, arrrrgh"

These where my thoughts, "No" guy could have a good reason for no swap. no swap might have been a fix for some other issue OP is unaware of, which OP has now reverted. Don't know until you ask...

but will they click?

The stock has taken a beating over the past 6 months. Its a classic buy the rumor sell the fact, but in reverse.

Household debt is not at record highs... Auto Loans and Student Loans are getting more problematic, but no reason to go all chicken little.

Tend to agree generally that we are approaching the apex of the cycle, and that share buybacks may be creating a sort of short term thermal.

I hate that word "Staffer"

"No"

maybe you shouldn't have gone to private school, or not gone to college at all.

was wondering what type of journalist would decide to write an article like this, then realized the author came out of Gawker.

swift, because it has a high level syntax with a really nice Generics implementation, but can still interface relatively easily with low level API's. Also because it uses reference counting for memory management instead of mark and sweep garbage collection so has more predictable performance and low memory overhead.

Whats with the Dragon chewing on the bloody the human arm?

I hate that word "Staffers", immediately makes me think of politics.

Seems like a pretty good battery, but is it goodenough?

the amount of time and effort I'm willing to spend to get start up stickers is probably about equal to the effort it takes to type in the address to mail them to. probably less.

Dude, its called a spork. It was invented by taco bell, and its brilliant.

not at all surprised that the first code sample is A) Cryptic as hell and B) Something I basically never need to do when developing an app

hubris develops because you don't get the humility of failure. Great article!
