Basically, I spent the whole year watching how to be great at golf, and how to be great at everything but golf. Wouldn't trade it.

@pmarca This chart looks dramatic but it’s not new. The Bessembinder study analyzed nearly 100 years of data and found that just 4% of U.S. stocks accounted for the entire net gain of the market from 1926 to 2016. That’s why buying the whole S&P 500 has always been a solid move.

@chamath, before you dive into the @bryan_johnson rabbit hole, consider reading @JEverettLearned’s analysis of Bryan’s diet, which seems to be mimic Apple’s marketing style while lacking factual data.

Also, I would advise against promoting that parenting book. After reading it, I found it to be more of an excuse than a guide for effective parenting.

Does this sound right? From your book my understanding is that deep sleep is the predominant sleep stage after falling asleep.

@naval Out of respect for your opinion, I bought the book, but it was a complete letdown. The author is completely disconnected from everyday realities. With fewer kids being born these days, the last thing we need is for those children to be raised according to the ideas in this book.

@naval Just purchased - thanks!

We named @Tesla after Nikola Tesla, one of the greatest engineers ever.

He was a penniless immigrant whose inventions led to American dominance in electricity generation and usage.

Elon Musk explains his 5-step algorithm for running companies

“First, make your requirements less dumb. Your requirements are definitely dumb… It’s particularly dangerous if a smart person gave you the requirements because you might not question them enough.”

In this interview at Starbase, Elon elaborates on his methodology for shipping everything from electric cars to rockets.

Here’s his “algorithm” quoted in full from the Walter Isaacson biography:

1. Question every requirement. Each should come with the name of the person who made it. You should never accept that a requirement came from a department, such as from "the legal department" or "the safety department." You need to know the name of the real person who made that requirement. Then you should question it, no matter how smart that person is. Requirements from smart people are the most dangerous, because people are less likely to question them. Always do so, even if the requirement came from me. Then make the requirements less dumb.

2. Delete any part or process you can. You may have to add them back later. In fact, if you do not end up adding back at least 10% of them, then you didn't delete enough.

3. Simplify and optimize. This should come after step two. A common mistake is to simplify and optimize a part or a process that should not exist.

4. Accelerate cycle time. Every process can be speeded up. But only do this after you have followed the first three steps. In the Tesla factory, I mistakenly spent a lot of time accelerating processes that I later realized should have been deleted.

5. Automate. That comes last. The big mistake in Nevada and at Fremont was that I began by trying to automate every step. We should have waited until all the requirements had been questioned, parts and processes deleted, and the bugs were shaken out.

Elon shares a costly example of doing this process in reverse on the Tesla Model 3 production line and optimizing a part that didn’t even need to exist.

“It’s possibly the most common error of a smart engineer to optimize a thing that should not exist. Everyone’s been trained in high school and college that you answer the question — convergent logic. You can’t tell the professor your question is dumb or you’ll get a bad grade. You have to answer the question. So everyone, without knowing, basically has this mental straight jacket on and they’ll work on optimizing the thing that should simply not exist.”

@HelpHub_WJ So you make it seem like you are solving my problem, but don't reply to the DM?

[Zarko @BatteryZarko]

@HelpHub_WJ I sent you a DM, but the further you keep stalling the less alternative flight options she has to get home tonight.

@cberry1 Why break the components down into metal sulfate compounds only to put them together again?

RecycLiCo had battery cells made by a battery manufacturer using cathode precursor material directly upcycled from battery waste.
