My point was that the work to make them popular was done back then. The model s is what made Tesla cool to the public and made people want electric cars. Since then there have been some improvements to the car like better FSD, but no huge t

Feel free to name the recent innovations. Has Tesla released a new car with an incredible range? Have US homes adopted solar using Tesla batteries and ow we don't know what to do with our excess energy? What else has he delivered?

Company legal departments should absolutely review requests and make sure they're legal before handing over data. If they suspect the request isn't legal, they can refuse it, and then it can be escalated to a judge. Are you sugges

That is charge back. Even with a credit card, your bank is the mediator between you and the merchant.

> because it doesn't allow chargebacks You can have chargebacks in crypto if the payment is scripted to allow chargebacks. It would be up to the merchant and the buyer on whether or not to allow that, and who would mediate the dispu

That might be a good approach to become a better programmer, but I don't think it's good advice to become a better software engineer.

Blockchain-based social media isn't new, so what makes this special? Is there a technical write up where we can see how consensus works and what guarantees you have that the chain history can't be rewritten?
