on: Theory of what’s going to happen next at Twitter
He's mentioned several times that him expecting his employees to work 10-12 hours a day is ok because he himself works 18+ hours. How does he expect to retain employees when other companies pay way more than Tesla does for way fewer work hours? Am I missing something?

on: Ask HN: Which books you have read till now that were worth investing time in?
I don't really read books, but I've really enjoyed reading a lot of Sherlock Holmes lately. The stories themselves aren't that interesting but the way Holmes collects, processes and works with data assisted by his methodical and almost pedantic approach to draw relevant conclusions from said data using his extensive knowledge of previous cases is extremely engaging. Now that the 21st century is entirely data driven, I feel these books give a very amateurish but still relevant perspective as to all the things we could do with the knowledge available to us.

I think the bible and a lot of other such religious books are "comfort books". You don't really understand every single word or passage and you have your own interpretation of most of the book which might not have been originally intended by whoever the authors were. But it provides peace and comfort and that's good enough for most people.

on: Developers share work-in-progress footage in solidarity after GTA 6 leaks
I'm still a little conflicted when it comes to the visuals, I have an unhealthy obsession with all things (single-player) GTA related and I'm hyped, but I'm not sure how much of some of the more completed-looking parts of the leaked game clips had placeholder visuals (directly borrowed from rdr2 and V) and how much of it was the final product. Visuals aren't everything but i really really hope it ends up looking more similar to something like TLOU2 than watch dogs legion.
