Tattoo perhaps? Laser-printing onto contact lens? Any other ideas?


Subcutaneous RFID would be much less obtrusive and more feasible, assuming you could find a reader. And however you store it on your body, you should also encrypt it with a passphrase that you can memorize.


Maybe subcutaneous micro-sd card, with some sort of medical-grade coating? It would be a serious bitch to get out (any doctor or veterinarian could probably help you there) but once you did you wouldn't have any trouble reading it.


Gold is special because of its universal value, and it is especially useful in refugee scenarios where your war-ravaged currency has lost value, but your asylum country still has a stable economy. Gold is easily concealed, transported, and exchanged. My father's family converted much of their assets to gold when fleeing to the US from Vietnam at the end of the war.


This resonated well with myself, another student two weeks from graduating, with similar issues. It helps to remind myself that Rome wasn't built in a day, and trying to do work that usually takes peers weeks in just a single night is just my immaturity coming through.


I agree, and I feel the author uses "handling" in a nonconventional manner. I typically see it used to refer to cornering, steering feedback, and overall nimbleness. He seems to equate it to controlling acceleration in a straight-line.

Also, the majority of supercars also come with "push the pedal and forget" multi-clutch transmissions, that make the pedal experience similar to the Tesla.

The post boils down to someone thinking the Tesla is a really cool car, which I agree with.


I find that posts like these send their message better when formatted with "Here is an awesome example of what I like, DO THIS!!! (and casually mention how you feel when you get the opposite treatment).

"Company Foo made it optional for me to list my GPA, I liked that!" vs "Never have I ever, or will, apply to anyone asks for GPA. Make it optional."

Which feels more likely to be taken seriously?


Unless this is your first job out of college, I dont think GPA is relevant.


Unnecessary satire. Gasoline on the ridiculous bonfire, if you ask me.


I think I might agree to some extent. I don't understand what section about "evangelists should be attractive" or whatever is referring to; presumably another incident? I get that it is sarcastic, but I don't understand the motivation behind that sarcasm.


Hope to see a tablet come next!
