Do you have any proof of the lax in quality of 3s being built, or just FUD? what does your experience with building bad software have to do with Tesla cars?
if a component melts in a tent how would you expect it to fare on a car, that sits outside in the sun all day rather often? around parts that often generate a lot of heat.
Are you saying that things can be manufactured in the same environment where they'll be used?
Even if all the parts are OK one would think not the whole manufacturing is temperature-insensitive.
I wouldn't worry if I saw Tesla as a responsible company, but I see them as desperate to achieve goals and capable of misleading people (e.g. autopilot being marketed as much more than what it currently is [1]).
They're being assembled. It's not like they're doing injection moulding or wave soldering circuit boards in open air. They have preassembled components that they're putting together.
The only thing I would be concerned about is dust or moisture intrusion.
I eventually settled on Apple Time Machine. It backs up to a home NAS and a handful of drives at each office. The NAS can be configured to back up to S3 automatically.
Few code schools accept GI Bill because it requires them to have been in business for 2 years prior to applying to accept it. There's little stopping schools from getting approved, but the problem is most haven't enough track record or get denied when the VA investigates them.
I doubt they paid a fee. But clearly, they're either gaming the system or there's a very large population on HN who are trying to break into the industry with no credentials.
From what I have research, a computer science degree and a boot camp certificate are very different in terms of education. The former focuses on depth and the fundamentals of CS. The latter is more practical and focuses implementation where languages matter more.
This is spot on. I've employed 2 people in the last year and I can say that the guy with a CS degree had heard of binary tree and big O notation but has no idea about how everything ties together. And CSS and HTML concepts are totally foreign to him. CS degrees are stuck in C land, learning shitty bubble sort implementation in C++ and other crap that doesn't help day to day at all.
From my experience doing a bit of both the bootcamp was focused on getting the results using technology X, Y and traditional study was understanding the paradigms that allow technology X, Y.
To me it is the difference between learning to build and learning to design (something to build).

Not necessarily "clearly"; perhaps it's another thing altogether. We tend to be anti-marketing, and many see coding schools as selling a dream ("99% of our graduates get hired at a $100K starting salary"), while producing graduates that are ready to be interns at best. The idea of the anti-bootcamp, in the sense that it's not profit-driven, resonates.
I'm curious what kind of credentials you're referring to, however. Paid boot camps? CS degree?
He isn't buying a stock here or there either. He's mostly doing deals in bulk that the average investor can't. For example, his investment in Goldman Sachs during 2008.
Steve's band gets paid six figures a year each and flies coach to each gig. Steve flies in on a private jet and takes home multiple millions each year.
I hear what you're saying about the irony, but I'm sure Steve's band doesn't mind. The number of musician gigs that pay six figures is EXTREMELY limited.
If you dig in with employers to understand those job listings, there's a big difference between what they ask for and what they settle for in terms of qualifications.
Another significant percentage of those job listings are designed to game the H1B system as well. So, are basically fictitious.
