I lived in a small town in the Netherlands for 3 months last year for work. Never once needed a car. You're imagining a world where youre not using a car in a world built for cars. Do they have their use. Sure. But the scale at which we use them and the world that we build around their use needs to be done away with.

Or you could use literally any form of public transportation and kick the ass of both. ICE or not cars are just a stupid waste of space and resources. They need to be phased out. As a "lefty" I have never advocates for electric cars. They were always a distraction to try to keep car based infrastructure alive.

These are extremely EXTREMELY reliable at detecting physical obstructions. There is no reason but stupidity or being cheap to not implement redundancy into a safety system. This isn't about implementing "good enough" software. This is about a design choice forced on Tesla engineers by a complete idiot that doubles down on his stupidity when faced with criticism by actually intelligent people.

I think it's a good example of how vastly over hyped a lot of AI stuff is though. Any person could tell that that was a wall from hundreds of feet away. You can even tell in the video and it would be more obvious in real life with actual depth perception.

The entire problem with AI are corner cases. This is just taking that corner case to an absurd level. But it's not much different than the real world case of a Tesla vehicle getting confused on a highway if a billboard ad has a stop sign on it.

Someone with a better singing voice than me needs to remix this classic.

That's what they meant by "uphill both ways". Probably referring to having to cross the equator twice. This makes so much sense now.

OP is so sexist for not being exactly the average human height!

I think your brain has rotted. Use some common sense to think why the dude that is average male height mentioned average male height for a visual comparison.

It surprises me that people that get stock rewards in their company don't instantly sell them. Yes, you pay more in taxes because of capital gains, but you can avoid that by waiting a year to sell if you really want to.

I work for a tech company that offers ESPPs and gives stocks as bonuses. I sell those instantly and just take the guaranteed profit and turn them into index funds. There is just no way in hell I'm linking my employment AND my stock portfolio to a single company.

COULD I potentially make more by waiting? Sure, but that is not a risk I ever want to take. I'm not gonna be holding my companies stock and have it tank in value AND lose my job at the same time.

Invest in stocks or index funds that are unrelated to your field of work. That's my advice anyway. You should never have all your money sitting in a single companies stock anyway.

Yep. It's called "Buy, Borrow, Die" and is the main way billionaires avoid taxes. They hold all their stocks and never sell them. Use the stocks as collateral to take out massive low interest loans, and live off the tax free loans until they die. Banks are happy having Billionaires business and Billionaires are happy paying significantly less than they would on interest than they would on taxes for selling shares.

Nationalize all his companies. SpaceX should just be NASA anyway. SpaceX is actually an impressive company with great engineers despite Musk. The only bad parts of SpaceX are all connected to Musk and Management.

Yep. They done fucked up letting this entire country arm themselves to the teeth. It's time for some armed labor movements on factory floors. Worker takeover of the company.
