How the heck did you reach the conclusion that the current state of FSD is safer than a human driver. The Tesla Community FSD tracker has it at 157 city miles per disengagement at the moment. The people collecting this data are the Tesla

Nice, congrats on the launch. One small thing. On IPad iOS the Pricing link at the top doesn’t do anything. I was expecting it to zoom me to the pricing part of the page at the bottom. EDIT: Fixed now thanks

Both sides? There should be just one side; the citizens they are supposed to be representing. This comment kind of sums up how far gone we are in America.

You have obviously never been the victim of IBMs consulting arm. I caution anyone against buying anything IBM now. Absolute nightmare to work with.

Wouldn’t the same apply to Lori in that exchange. They just put the company on blast and aren’t willing to even hear the other side of things. That email exchange made me lose a ton of respect for them. But, Vlad definitely should have st

That seems like a crazy stretch to me. Not a lawyer but the rights courts typically don’t let you sign away are things like your freedom. Signing away your right to profit or control a video you created is super common already. Content li

I don’t expect to be able to have privacy in the face of a state actor. I just want the company to keep my data private from other commercial players. Like don’t sell all my data to anyone who asks or use it to create an invasive model to

Uh using an out of date and unsupported Excel version is a really bad idea. Lots of security vulnerabilities around VB scripting/macros which gives you the very real risk of being compromised by a malicious spreadsheet. Better to just

Hey, so you may not be targeting this particular market but it is adjacent and something I would pay $5-10 a month for. Have you considered expanding this eventually into a Empower (formerly Personal Capital) competitor? What I mainly use

That “static number” can also be changed if stolen and my money returned. I dont even need to catch the fraud immediately. Most institutions give you 30 days and some higher end options give you 90 days to contest a charge. Can’t do that i

In the U.S. credit cards would still be superior to direct transfer services like they have in Europe. If someone gets my Card and Pin I don’t get back that money; at least not easily. But if someone steals my credit card I get that money

I am personally more forgiving of software unlocks for things like ADAS systems. My thinking is that they incurred that as a large R&D cost not a per unit cost. So, having it be an add on allows me to not pay for it if I don’t want it

Depending on your domain they can make decent developer machines at the 16+GB config. I have been researching this lately. At the 24GB config it is looking like the M3 air puts down about the same real world CPU performance as my 2019 16”

I am thinking this is almost certainly malicious compliance. I mean diverse Nazi imagery is just too perfect of a miss. They managed to offend literally everyone with that even the actual Nazis.

Aren’t device drivers compiled into the Linux kernel? I would think that support alone would be worth more than 1.2B dollars in collective time spent ironing that out. I don’t really know but I am thinking their estimate is rather low for

A unit test with real dependencies is by definition an integration test isn’t it? I guess the unit in “Unit Test” is a bit subjective but every place I have worked we wrote both unit and integration tests that lived side by side. Integrati

I think it is more that SpaceX has a fail fast engineering culture and was clear about that from the start. I mean they made a blooper real “How not to land an orbital rocket booster”. Also SpaceX’s launch stream production quality and PR

Nice tip. Another option for US numbers is Google project fi. I have been using Google Project Fi for calls and texts the last 6 years internally. A bit pricey but you don’t need to be on wifi for calls and texts. I also had internationa

If your bank account is also at your broker (ex. Schwab, Fidelity) then money market funds are actually more convenient than a HYSA. My money market fund money is available the day after I sell and there is no waiting period to transfer be

Could be but the few that will send out nasty grams on broadcast just hurt themselves. Professionals will inform their colleagues privately so as to not burn bridges. I guess I just wish the US borrowed some parts of European work culture

I really don’t get why companies won’t allow limited access to email at least to send a goodbye message and contact details to their colleagues. You could spin up new email boxes if you are worried about them downloading emails even. It ju

Milei was a long shot candidate and he was elected on the back of this one issue. Dollarizing the economy and the radical measures Milei ran on in that election have a very real risk of collapsing Argentina. But, the general feeling here

I would encourage you to take a look at what policies are actually being put in place in Argentina. Milei has kind of an impossible task. He has to unwind massive government entitlements to stave off a full economic collapse. Argentina is
