They paid for a bubble (Tableau stock) using another bubble (CRM stock). So all is good in the funny world that we live in.


I'd add trading Futures to the mix too or Options on Futures. The beauty with the Futures market is it's open 24/7(though liquidity might be a problem in the night) and there are only a limited number of futures markets/commodities you need to keep track of. Just stick to the S&P, Nasdaq, Treasury, Crude Oil & Gold. You can do some currencies if you like. Yes it's highly leveraged so more risky but that's why you make risk management front and center of any strategy you end up using to enter a trade.


It's the AI winter we're all fearing!


So do you proxy your calls from S3 to a serverless service? And do you handle cross origin calls via CORS? Just curious because I've never used serverless before.


You can use JavaScript on the frontend to call a Lambda function that you 100% control (including CORS, etc). You can use this to do things like authentication, authorization, and rate limiting, as well, versus just giving open access to an internal datastore.


CORS can be set on the S3 bucket - wide open is the default setting when you open the CORS properties in the S3 console.


Couldn't agree more. One of the best distributed data systems book! A must read for anyone dabbling in that part of the stack!


This is a serious deal. The rest of the year is going to be a real test for Tesla! It'll be real interesting to see if they can rebound from this.

I wonder if the Tesla board is thinking of doing an Uber and replace Musk with a more calmer executive! Wouldn't be surprised if he gets fired after this.

I would be. They have stood by him so far, this isn't going to push them over the edge. Besides, who would they replace him with?

If the SEC fines him, he'll pay the fine and get on with his life.

There are other options on the menu: jail time.


This is a civil case, but the DOJ is investigating as well, so you might be right.


Unless they ban him from being an executive at a publicly traded company


Couldn't he assign the janitor to be the official 'CEO', but then give himself title of 'Visionary' and still make all the decisions?


The SEC would not find this amusing.


Putin would!


Please don't do this here.


Part of being a visionary CEO is making choices that other people don't like, and sticking with them. As a janitor, you can suggest all you want, but unless you're on the Board, you can't force things through (unless you rely on backchannel bribery or coercion or other unsavory means).


Musk is also on the board.

But the SEC is also seeking to remove him from the board of any public company. So he'd lose his chair and the CEO position in this single case.


If you are planning to eventually automate this with some sort of recommendation engine, then I hope you're at least capturing all the data and analytics currently to help drive that in the future!


Trouble is it's still not mainstream enough for everyone to start accepting it as a form of payment but that will change with time. For instance visit amazonbitcoin.com and see what happens!


Sure, I can buy some btc and go buy something with it in some places. But where is my incentive to do that, rather than just go use my credit card or an ACH transfer? Btc is not more convenient, it's not cheaper, and whatever gain in privacy there currently is will not survive a transition to mainstream usage...although the first two problems ensure that there never will be mainstream usage.
