on HN thread Tag Heuer will make the first 'luxury' Android Wear watch
I feel like this luxury Android watch will fail for several reasons: - the average Android device consumer has less money to spend compared to the average iOS device consumer. - full control of the device is not in the hands of a single company, which will likely result in bad compromises. - to me at least, Android is not something I associate with "luxury". Some of the above points are explained by Scott Galloway in this presentation: [this video]

on HN thread Anatomy of a Bubble – Tesla and Bitcoin
You shouldn't be using the X for comparison, but the Y (which is closer to $45k, $55k for the Performance version that puts you close to muscle car territory). EDIT: (HN Throttled, can't reply, replying here) I agree there is a premium, but I do not agree it's considerable considering a) people buy a payment and b) we're in a low interest rate environment where people can stretch for a luxury car like a Tesla due to low carrying costs of the auto debt. Why? [this video] (13:17-14:15 is the relevant time window)
