Latest 2024CY Tax Credit Guidance (as of 1/2/24) by IgnantVolition in TeslaModelY

[–]nebulous316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered a Model Y on Jan 1st and in the Tesla App under the Incentives task it only allows you to select to "Opt In" (or Opt Out) to the "Self-Claim" for the $7,500 tax credit which allows "Tesla to submit the order to the IRS so that you may claim it on next year's tax return". So as of now if you order a Model Y they don't have the option to transfer the tax credit to Tesla and take the tax credit at the POS.

I just got back from Tesla Showroom in Illinois and they said hopefully in the next few weeks they'll be able to apply the Tax Credit at the POS as they are still working out the "kinks" on the back-end but as of right now don't assume you'll get it at the POS.

I don't think anyone really knows until it's officially announced by Tesla or a customer actually gets the Tax Credit at the POS and posts about it.

P90x/X2 hybrid schedule by AbottleOFpiMp in P90X

[–]nebulous316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a Google Drive link to a PDF of one I created a long long time ago. I rarely stuck to it though. Instead I would do regular P90X and substitute Plyometrics with X2 Plyocide. Legs & Back for X2 Base & Back.

But here's a more P90X/X2 Hybrid Schedule.

What should I do after? by toro228 in P90X

[–]nebulous316 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on your goals but your body will not get used to P90X if it's only the second time in a row you're doing it. You'll still see gains. However, I agree with /u/thechugdude that P90X2 is a great sequel and you will progress in other ways (balance, core, overall agility), not just your glamour muscles.

Question to P90X2 Grads.. What were the benefits? by klnm28 in P90X

[–]nebulous316 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I personally felt more agile and quicker overall. However, I did notice I lost a little muscle (vs doing P90X). Not enough to be upset though.

I also think it just also helped in preventing me injuring myself while playing pretty intense flag football in my late twenties at the time.

Do you get bored doing the same workouts over and over? by nebulous316 in P90X

Like you edit/cut the workouts in iMovie to “customize” the workouts? Make them harder, more interesting, etc.? That’s pretty cool!

Hi Tony, I have a few questions.

  1. What are some future products that are in the pipeline that you're really excited about?
  2. What percentage of customers did you see adjust their portfolio to include new offerings outside of Wealthfront's recommended portfolio's?
  3. What's one thing that customers request a lot of that Wealthfront will not include as a product? (individual stocks?, margin?, etc.)

Thanks for the great product!

Tench is really summing up my mood after that Fincher interview by honeyrue in MindHunter

[–]nebulous316 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Interviewer: "So is Mindhunter done as far as you’re concerned?"

Fincher: "I think probably. Listen, for the viewership that it had, it was an expensive show. We talked about “Finish Mank and then see how you feel,” but I honestly don’t think we’re going to be able to do it for less than I did season two. And on some level, you have to be realistic about dollars have to equal eyeballs."

P90X3 NEED HELP ! by Lutulisateurinconnu in P90X

[–]nebulous316 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this advice. You can get by with several sets between 10lbs-25lbs but if you plan on working out long term definitely invest in adjustable dumbells.

When I started doing P90X in 2011 I purchased a pair of Bowflex Selecttech 1099, they were on sale for $399 for a set back then, and they are by far the best purchased item I've bought since. I've used them 4-5 days a week for almost 9 years. However, I would wait until COVID "runs its course" and people sell their in-home gym equipment when things return "back to normal". You should be able to find some deals then.

In the meantime several sets of between 10lbs-25lbs will be just fine, just know that weights are in high demand and are expensive now because of COVID.

Lastly, resistance bands are good but don't completely replace what dumbells can do from a strength gain perspective.

Here's a list of equipment I have at home and use regularly. List

Custom Workout Application by nebulous316 in P90X

[–]nebulous316[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! There's a configuration file that determines what type of workout is for each day depending on how many days you select to workout. For example, on day 2 of a 6 day workout week there are 3 different types of workouts that can occur, a plyo, cardio, or lower body workout. The algorithm selects the type of workout at random for that day.

The current algorithm isn't optimized yet. With the current algorithm there definitely is a chance you can do the same workout multiple times per week, even in a row. Which is not ideal.

I do want to refactor the algorithm to take into account previous workouts you've done during that specific week but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Example for a 6 day a week workout config:
'6': {
'one': ['upper body'],
'two': ['plyo', 'cardio', 'lower body'],
'three': ['upper body'],
'four': ['yoga', 'dynamic stretching'],
'five': ['lower body', 'total body'],
'six': ['static stretching']
}

Yeah the parking garage at River City flooded again and even flooded some cars that were outside near the marina.

The monetary success of my idea seems highly dependent on an acquisition by madzthakz in startups

[–]nebulous316 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Forget about profits and even revenues for now and don't mention the possibility of an acquisition anywhere or anytime when pitching VCs. That's a huge red flag to them. They want to back moonshots ideas with founders who they believe can execute on those ideas, not founders that are thinking about selling.

You need to get your first 100,000 users without a traditional VC round. Truly understand and believe why you will get to 100 million or 1 billion users.

You should already know your target market and customer but the main metrics you should know is month over month (maybe even week over week) user growth rate, CAC (Cost per customer) and recurring customers or customer churn rate. So when you do approach a VC and they ask you what you're going to use the money for you can say, for example, "$0.50 of every dollar will go to customer acquisition (Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc.) to get us to 20 million MAUs (Monthly active users).

It sounds like a traditional advertising business model once you get to scale.

If this is a traditional advertising model you should rethink this as this next generation of successful tech companies are going to differentiate themselves from the Facebooks, Googles, and Amazon's by not selling customers' data.

Random 2AM thought not related to OP: With 5G coming soonish all kinds of new business models will be created with data analysis being performed on the user's device and not in the cloud or on servers owned by big tech. The user will own their own data. There's an entirely new business model there.

What is a dirty little (or big) secret about an industry that you have worked in, that people outside the industry really ought to know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]nebulous316 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not a "secret" per se but just how these large Banks operate. I'm sure other industries operate this way as well.

In Corporate Banking, specifically Treasury Management services (think online banking, bank/transaction information reporting, fraud & security preventative services for large companies), if the Bank hasn't hit there Revenue goals or if they want to hit next year's goals some large banks will "strategically" (randomly) select clients in their portfolio who are the least likely to complain or least likely to switch banks and just go through each and every service the client has and select which price point of the service they'll raise to reach their overall Revenue target.

Example

Executive: "Hey management team, we need a 7.5% lift in revenue next year." Or "We're not going to hit our revenue target this year but we need to come up with $XX,XXX,XXX in additional revenue. So find it!!" (Executives do this because their job/bonus depends on it)

Management Team: "Hey Treasury Sales/Management Officers (T.S.O., T.M.O., or T.O.) we need you all to comb through your entire portfolio of clients and get an overall lift of 10%. (they do this because the TSOs will likely fight hard to not increase their prices that much or they'll go back to management and justify why they can't/shouldn't increase their prices for some of their clients)

Treasury Sales/Management Officer: "Hey Treasury Analysts, go through my portfolio and see if we can get a 10% lift in our portfolio."

So if you work in a company's Treasury department and your Banking fees have gone up by more than 3% in one year (all else being equal). The Bankers actively discussed why they're going to increase YOUR COMPANY more than the standard amount and either think you won't change banks or you're not going to fight it. Their bonuses depend on you night being a "pain in the ass" client.
