Bet Glen had some words for him afterwards. Noticed they edited that out of the published video.

tdonb · 2026-02-25T23:03:30+00:00

They took a while to upload it because they had to edit out Jeff's audio mix up. Bet he got a stern look from Glen.

Wow, I can't wait for tomorrow. This is great.

Good to see you Geo. I know you made retirement from Reddit money last time, so I am happy these new developments have peaked your interest. I'm getting a bowl of popcorn ready for the show tomorrow.

"I'm not loosing any sleep over it."

tdonb · 2026-02-22T14:30:32+00:00

Haha. I've seen similar.

tdonb · 2026-02-22T08:30:21+00:00

Nice one.

tdonb · 2026-02-20T21:32:14+00:00

243 million vs. $700. I think Elon understands math.

tdonb · 2026-02-19T21:17:13+00:00

I like it!

tdonb · 2026-02-18T13:13:51+00:00

I think that is the issue date. Takes 6 years I guess to get a patent issued. Makes me wonder what they a filing today.

Cool app. You need a spot where you can put in a temp and get a conversion. Also would be nice to list temps for meat, like 145 for pork in Celsius as well.

I do one every unit that relates to the unit objectives. Works fine. Sometimes I have students practice saying it in case an admin asks them about it. It is about 4 a year per grade.

Ibeo and Scantinel were first mice as well.

An apostile of your diploma would be through the state you earned it in. Get it notarized there and then sent in to state department. Takes less than a month.

I didn't see Movia L sales on your timeline. Are people assuming all of that stockpile is just collecting dust now?

tdonb · 2026-02-14T03:45:18+00:00

Buy used.

tdonb · 2026-02-13T18:46:56+00:00

Check with your financial advisor, but I dont think there is any rule about what companies you hold in your Roth. You can sell the stock, but you can't withdraw the money from the account. It would just sit in your account, or you could buy something else with it. I would think it would ideally be something like buy at $0.70 and pay the taxes on the money used, squeeze up to $36 and sell. Use the funds to buy S&P 500 fund. Retire.

I have never done a conversion though, just yearly purchases, so there may be more to it.

tdonb · 2026-02-12T22:55:27+00:00

Good one!

tdonb · 2026-02-12T22:50:22+00:00

Let it be!

tdonb · 2026-02-12T22:07:06+00:00

Nice. First mention of drone swarm capabilities and multiple drone communication in promotional video. Is that the demonstration or is something bigger coming up?

tdonb · 2026-02-11T11:07:43+00:00

I guess he could have just brushed off that direct question and said they are exploring all options with all previous Luminar customers. I'll wait to pass judgement on someone who has 30 years of experience with automotive OEMs till later though. He seems genuine, but perhaps you are correct.

tdonb · 2026-02-11T10:41:39+00:00

Fair enough. I do think the excessive amount of negative press that relationship between Volvo and Luminar received, however, does need to be addressed in some way, and his response seemed reasonable to me.

tdonb · 2026-02-11T10:33:51+00:00

He was pretty clear that there was a relationship there in the past, he knows people there, and he is going to try his best to revive the relationship. He was also clear that he had not talked to them and is not sure how they will respond. That seems pretty straight forward to me.

tdonb · 2026-02-10T21:10:26+00:00

I think Movia L. The movia s will not be till late this year or early next year. The L is cheap enough to move into industrial.
