I wish atlas allow transferring over our Delaware c Corp to them. They launched around 3 months after we incorporated :(
annerajb··on Tesla's Simultaneous Brilliance and Incompetence Revealed in Teardown of Model 3
They are not the same you are correct that board is hand laid by Tesla electrical engineers following loosely Nvidia electrical schematics but removing uneccesaary electrical subsystems and adding ones like on board GPS receiver.
annerajb··on Tesla's Simultaneous Brilliance and Incompetence Revealed in Teardown of Model 3
No. That board uses a reference design from Nvidia. They redesigned Nvidia reference designed removed one of the fpgas, changed interfaces added GPS directly on board. If you are not familiar a reference design would be selling your prebuilt computer and telling you this works. Afterwards you come in throw the case out and change anything but try to maintain the relevant electronic connections between components. Remove the ones that you don't need and add required ones. Plus design and layout a circuit board with your new requirements and parts.

You call Tesla give your serial they will tell you the latest version of the bearing that you should upgrade too. They been d9o ing that for 10 years now.
annerajb··on Why Tesla is having a harder time than SpaceX
The importance is the cost. they are lower priced on reused flights with a 10-20million discount. Regular non reused flights they are about the same price as competitors (if you count 20millions less the same)

New design launching in three weeks would reduce cost even further price will go down maybe by 10 million but cost should go down by around 50 million

annerajb··on Tesla Was Kicked Off Fatal Crash Probe by NTSB
Torque is the correct measure to be used. If the person is touching the wheel but not applying torque how do I know it's actually not resting his hand at the bottom?

I wanna know that the person is there and moving the steering wheel. Since in case of anything happening I need them to move the wheel not rest their hand somewhere.

annerajb··on Tesla Was Kicked Off Fatal Crash Probe by NTSB
Right as you mention and Tesla did mention in their press release yesterday they will continue to cooperate on technical matters. That part is not optional.
annerajb··on Tesla Was Kicked Off Fatal Crash Probe by NTSB
I fail to see what the issue is? Tesla said it will continue providing technical help and they are still mandated by law. What is the real loss for them to being out of the investigation committee? What does the NTSB lose?
annerajb··on The dots do matter: how to scam a Gmail user
Btw that meta data I believe it's in the body of the email. Hidden with some html tags that Google tells companies to use so they can do those things. Inspect the source of the html of the body and see if you can find it there.
annerajb··on Tesla’s Musk Takes Charge of Model 3 Production as Problems Persist
Ever is a long timeframe especially if Tesla continues selling double yoy.
annerajb··on NTSB ‘unhappy’ with Tesla release of investigative information in fatal crash
I am curious how do aircraft pilots got around this? Autopilot on aircraft work same as a Tesla drive a straight line where I aimed you have way less interaction than on the car. Yet pilots are able to take over autopilot and their responsibility during it's use is mostly looking out the window and occasionally switching frequency
annerajb··on Tesla issues its largest recall ever over faulty Model S steering
Does not only affect Tesla the part is made by Bosch and also affects daimler.
annerajb··on Cora – Kitty Hawk's prototype air taxi [video]
The way it will work on the US based on what Uber and others are talking about. Is a special corridor where only autonomous traffic is allowed. This planes allowed on this corridor will have digital air traffic controllers and only be allowed if they have certain amount of capacity similar to ADS-B mandate in the future.

This allows the plane to all fly and not hit each other and pilots won't be allowed in that corridor.

annerajb··on The Most Expensive Mile of Subway Track
Hmm maybe this is what the boring company is trying to do. If they can use their tech to tunnel the same distance at 90% less would truly redefine transport.
annerajb··on Tesla posts big loss, cuts production of Models X and S to catch up on Model 3
This control software is for the manufacturing line. It's a mixture of a game engine and the code to control the robots by signaling each individual servo on the robot arm. Now multiple one robot * 4 lines* multiple stations(at least 6) * more than one robot per station. The game engine simulated the robot state to program then faster without requiring a pendant like it's typically done.

The code you are thinking about Is a copy paste from the model s and x batterry management system which implemented a kalman filter in a dsp to calculate State of charge among other things. That code is not the one being discussed here.

annerajb··on Puerto Rico Cancels Whitefish Energy Contract to Rebuild Power Lines
Here in Puerto Rico the explanations given by the current Executive director of the Puerto Rico power authority have been contradictory and confusing, to say the least.

He gave varied versions on how they started talking, who initiated the communication the dates, etc...

I really suspect there is something awry with the contracting process something tells me we will know soon who really recommended that company and why did they not try getting a no advance contract from the other company like the american utility association people.

annerajb··on Real-time 3D visualization of geospatial data with Blender
Hmm this seems really useful for rendering lidar data points in a 3d mesh/map.
annerajb··on Puerto Rico Tax Incentives for Startups and Freelancers
This would mean that as a founder living in Puerto Rico for the past 7-8 years. Could I apply for Act 20 and have my tax rate reduced to just 4% corp income tax as long as we export our services/products?

Hmm interesting.

annerajb··on Puerto Rico Tax Incentives for Startups and Freelancers
I think the reason wasn't section 936. The reason was more the local government not putting to good use any of the benefits from either the bonds or local companies setting up.

Instead of using those funds to improve education, technical training, create buildings/projects that made sense in the distant future where funds/companies would not be so incentivized to stay here. They went and started building pointless infrastructure projects with arguably benefits or ROI almost always with some sort of controversy on the project builder/developer intentions.

Building statues, pointless sports venues, really expensive projects with zero to marginal benefits to society/Puerto Rico's economy long term.

annerajb··on Puerto Rico Tax Incentives for Startups and Freelancers
I only spent two year outside PR for my bachelors. Been back here for 8 years now. :(

Still feels odd trying to help create startups but excluding people that live here. I mean the original purpose was to bring new companies, "expats" to puerto rico which IMO is good at accomplishing.

annerajb··on Puerto Rico Tax Incentives for Startups and Freelancers
My only gripe when they originally enacted act 20 and 22. Was that it required the founder not to have lived in Puerto Rico in the past 15 years or long period of time before arriving here.

Unless they changed it this would forbid founders that are trying to make a company in Puerto Rico able to qualify.

annerajb··on Millennials returning to Puerto Rico, launching startups
Yup can confirm. Almost all of the rares specialist is in the metro area. Some of them have a wait of a few months. Some even don't take health insurance and are cash only since Insurances pay so low.
annerajb··on Tesla Burns Through Record Cash to Bring the Model 3 to Market
Which is one of the reasons why I agree with their strategy to sell to its own employees and investors first. Their feedback loop is so quick and they have a financial and personal interest in the product being perfect.

If they see any issue they will already have a lot of knowledge to debug it/know immediately who to contact to get it debug and have a financial and personal interest for it to be done quickly and correctly.

Which is also part of the reason why the ramp up is really slow at the beginning.

annerajb··on Lee-Gardner Amendment would reduce supersonic fuel burn
From my vague reminder about this the noise was widly exaggerated and booms design had a few things to make it slightly quieter.
annerajb··on We Bought a Crack House
I think they could have avoided almost all issues if they would have paid market rate from the start..
annerajb··on UBeam's Meredith Perry shows her wireless charging technology really works
I guess that's why they want to make them as roof tiles to cover a whole room with multiples of there and have continuous coverage.
annerajb··on What programming languages are used late at night?
I started leaving my laptop hibernated with visual studio or gdb stuck at the break point where I was off. The feature to anottate variables and pin them also helps for when somebody bothers you mid debug session.
annerajb··on Starting a Hardware Company with $60K
I would!
annerajb··on Beej's Guide to Network Programming
This reminds me of my networking class! I remember being provided Beej's Guide and it being indespensable. Still 8 years later when I need to verify something about networking I go look it up and make sure i am doing it right.
