Err, cybersecurity insurance as a business model has not worked. I have seen analyst reports showing that there have been multiple large claims that are each individually larger than all premiums ever collected industry wide. Those same r

Because the law is complicated and they were erring on the side of caution to stay within a relatively well-defined safe area to avoid committing tax fraud. They did not spend hundreds of dollars in labor to save 5$. They spent hundreds of

Please cite the de minimis threshold you are referencing. Here is a basic 67 page overview by the IRS on this topic [1] which does not indicate any uniform generally accepted de minimis threshold for arbitrary expenses, so you need to cit

Of course it is a personal benefit, you are literally benefitting by not spending your own post-tax dollars for something that goes into your stomach. However, there are legal rules that allow categorizing certain such expenses and amounts

by Veserv 8mo ago
That is more likely a result of legal requirements. As a general rule any personal benefit you get counts as your income and is taxed accordingly. Expensing is not, instead counting as a business expense. To avoid people just forming a pers

You mean you operate them like Microsoft's failed submerged data center project [1]. When pointing at validating past examples you are generally supposed to point at successes. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P

To be pedantic, that is a instance of the Berry paradox [1] and no you can not [2] as that would be a violation of Godel's incompleteness theorems. edit: To clarify further, you could create a new formal language L+ that axiomatically

That is not true. Since Tesla was losing money on their insurance to boost sales the customers were not paying for it since they were receiving a service for below cost. The people paying were actually the retirement funds who fronted Tesla

I am utterly baffled by what you are trying to argue with this post except for distracting from the weakness of your original argument with more attempted(?) ad hominems. Must be my bias showing.

by Veserv 9mo ago
Ah yes, posting well documented video evidence of reality is bias. How silly of me. The only unbiased take is to ignore my lying eyes and make logically unsound arguments in favor of endangering the public. That is what unbiased people do.

No it does not. A 50% discount and the insurance still having industry average profit, or at least being profitable at all, would tell you that. Selling at a loss does not indicate your costs are actually lower. You need to wait until we le

They are a grossly unprofitable insurance company. Your actuaries can undervalue risk to the point you are losing money on every claim and still achieve that. In fact, Tesla Insurance, the people who already have direct access to the data a

It was not workable. They have a loss ratio of >100% [1], as in they paid out more in claims than received in premiums before even accounting for literally any other costs. Industry average is ~60-80% to stay profitable when including ot

Then you or Waymo can meet the burden of proof and present that more precise and better information. There is little reason to assume against safety at this point in time except as a intellectual exercise for how more accurate information c

Absent more precise information, this is a statistical negative mark for Waymo putting their child pedestrian injury rate at ~2-4x higher than the US human average. US human drivers average ~3.3 trillion miles per year [1]. US human drivers

by Veserv 9mo ago
Err, that is not the desirable statistic you seem to think it is. American drivers average ~3 trillion miles per year [1]. That means ~7000 child pedestrian injurys per year [2] would be ~1 per 430 million miles. Waymo has done on the order

Okay, so the evidence you are presenting is that the entity pushing intentionally deceptive marketing with a direct conflict of interest said they were not lying. I am frustrated at people loudly and proudly "releasing" a system t

Then you should have no difficulty providing evidence for your claim. Since you have been engaging in language lawyering in this thread, it is only fair your evidence be held up to the same standard and must be incontrovertible evidence for

Sounds like you want time travel debugging [1]. Then you can just run forwards and backwards as needed and look at the full evolution of state and causality. You usually want to use a integrated history visualization tool to make the most o

Oh no, they are nowhere near confident enough for remote monitoring. They have a chase car following directly behind [1][2] which presumably has the power to initiate a remote emergency stop. Of course this is the same system that likes to

You do not need any OS changes, you just need a print library that does buffering correctly. Buffering should basically always be: “Work or Time” based, either you buffered enough or enough time has passed. This is because you buffer when p

I do not know where people get the idea that encryption is that slow. Standard AES hardware acceleration instructions do ~25 Gbps per core (on a 2023 CPU) which is ~50x that rate [1]. I have heard modern cores can do ~40-50 Gbps, but I have

The really mysterious part is how ~10,000 packets per second costs ~20% of a core. That would mean SSH is bottlenecking in its code at ~50,000 packets per second per core which would be ~500 Mbps per core (assuming full packets) which is lu

You should not even need a regex; no serious logging system should be emitting formatted strings, JSON, etc. as a storage format. You are immediately incurring on the order of a 5-100x log size and 5-100x log performance overhead with any s

Cool. Then if you are not lying, then it should be easy to present a clear video demonstrating the automatic battery swapping machine in action and swapping out a battery in 90 seconds as claimed in the demo.

What do you mean? It did pan out for Tesla. Faking a single demo granted them 75% more ZEV emissions credit government subsidys [1]. That increased their profits by hundreds of millions of dollars. All they had to do was go on stage and “sw

Does not look like it [1]. It appears to be a protocol that enumerates your exact path, interface by interface, on every data packet. So you can just blindly forward to the next hop written in the packet itself. By my guess, a competent and
