Former Tesla president discloses the secret to scaling a company

Few companies have grown as quickly as Tesla, especially just before and after the company launched the Model 3, its first affordable EV. “We scaled Tesla in 30 months from $2 billion in revenue to $20 billion in revenue,” Jon McNeil, the former president of Tesla who is now co-founder and CEO of DVx Ventures, told the crowd at TechCrunch’s All Stage event in Boston. It wasn’t McNeil’s first time scaling companies, nor would it be his last. Previously, he founded six different companies, and a

Early ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Reactions Say It’s…Well, Y’know,

We’re less than a full week away from Fantastic Four: First Steps, and Marvel’s already gone and let early watchers give their thoughts on the film. That’s nothing terribly new, save for these thoughts come ahead of the film’s Hollywood premiere on Monday night, when they were originally meant to drop. But it’s not without reason, as the impressions are quite glowing, even moreso than last weekend’s Superman or Thunderbolts* from a few months ago. Check out the impressions from critics and influ

Mr Browser – Macintosh Repository file downloader that runs directly on 68k Macs

What is MR Browser?

Samsung Galaxy Flip 7 FE vs. Motorola Razr 2025: Battle of the Budget Foldables

Samsung just unveiled its $900 Galaxy Flip 7 FE, the most affordable foldable phone the company has ever released. Despite that position in Samsung's history, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is still notably pricier than the $700 Motorola Razr 2025, leaving a decided gap in cost that makes their value comparison even more intriguing. That's because Samsung and Motorola have been neck and neck in pushing the envelope for clamshell foldables. The first modern-era Motorola Razr came out in early 2020 and t

Six Years of Gemini

2025-06-20 - Six years of Gemini! Today is the sixth anniversary of the public announcement of Project Gemini! It's been a quiet year at geminiprotocol.net thus far. I've let two "Apollo days" slip by without a word. I'm about as disappointed in myself for this as I expect many folks are unsurprised by it. I do still have plans and clear ideas for finalising the minor oustanding spec issues. I'd tell people to look forward to something by Apollo 15 day (2025-11-03), but at this point, who'd be

There’s a Strange New Hole in Yellowstone National Park

Last April, geologists conducting routine maintenance at temperature logging stations in Yellowstone National Park’s Norris Geyser Basin found something unexpected: a previously undocumented thermal pool of blue water. The newly identified pool, found in the Porcelain Basin subbasin, is about 13 feet (4 meters) wide, its idyllic blue water is around 109 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius), and the water’s surface sits about one foot (30 centimeters) below the rim of the pool, according to a

Kicking off at $107,700, here’s how all these revisions make the 2025 Rivian R1S Premium Tri-Motor a true frontrunner in the moder
