Colombians are asking that question too. My guess is that Tesla is selling them at a loss to compete against BYD. They may be sending unsold inventory from the US/Mexico market as well.

Does that mean there's an arbitrage to be made by re-importing them?

Wouldn't import tax make that nonviable?

They're made in the USA.

Do you not pay to reimport the (e.g.) Colombian market cars back into the USA?

Are they? Pretty sure they are coming from China.

I love how techmeme rewrites headlines. It removes the clickbait, gives you a clear idea, attaches tweets, reddit and hn links and saves so much time. It's the first thing I see in the morning, every morning.

He seems to have hyperphantasia, judging by every example of mental images he described. It's not a requirement, as the example from the other person on the beach didn't need it to feel that level of self-feeding joy.

But I wonder if aphantastic people have a harder time with this? Or maybe easier with less mental distractions?

I have aphantasia, and I can definitely get deep into music

and to be honest, for me, turning great music into a mental movie seems to be almost missing the point, I prefer experiencing it as music

I think aphantastic people would be able to but using an inner monologue/internal text? Or even just the feeling and concentration on that feeling?

Tangentially trying to imagine not being able to visualize mental images is really hard.

They very rare great HN joke.

How true this is

And it may be too harsh to judge a whole country and its talent just because a company whose servers are down hire talent there. What about the AWS engineers in those countries? Or Airbnb, Stripe, Twilio, etc?

This is super interesting. What do you think the shape of this project would look like if you were to scale to more people outside of the US? The problem, worldwide, is dramatic.

Thank you - that is so spot on. While in the US, there are 37 million elementary school students, it is interesting to note that around 505 million people speak English as a second language outside USA! For example growing up in Pakistan (South Asia) for my middle school years, English was very much taught (and in demand) at our schools and a language parents actively invested in for their kids. There is so much room for impact outside of the US!

I do see us growing up into a Byju-style global company in the future. Or, at least, those are our aspirations and ambitions at Litnerd! But first... we are committed to improving learning outcomes locally for our kids who need it most.

I should add, I also think down the road (should we execute on our lofty ambitions) we aspire to have a book catalogue that is as diverse as, say Wattpad!

If hyper evolved kinda-realistic spiders are your thing and their first contact with a highly evolved humanity, I strongly suggest Vernor Vinge's "A Deepness in the Sky".

It also introduced to me the concept of software archeologists.

He will actually respond to you his email domain is the name of the ISP from the first book!

His books are easily top 3 for me now

The Zones of Thought series is fantastic, and A Deepness in the Sky may be my favorite sci-fi novel of the many dozens on my shelf. Highly recommend, and I wish there were more novels set in that universe.

The website mentions in the pricing popup:

>We are working on functionality for teams that provides visibility and predictability in product development. Features may include automation around sprints and multi-team workflows. This will be part of our premium plan, and is where the AI comes into play.

I've also been hurt by free tools that disappear after we commit to them but since Tara did AI stuff for PM in the past maybe they already have it in the roadmap.

Thanks

This is definitely not true. It's extremely rare for a term sheet to be pulled.

It's very rare for a major fund to be pulling multiple term sheets at once.

From an iPad App that made it easier to read blueprints to $875M. Amazing.

I had the fortune of listening to Tracy Young while at YC and the story of the company and her other founder was inspiring. I wonder if this is the shape of what will happen with other companies like Remix (former TransitMix).
