Not really. The capital of Rus moved from Lagoda to Novgorod to Kiev to Vladimir to Moscow. The rulers of Moscow up until the end of 16th century were members of the Rurik dynasty - the same one that conquered Kiev in 9th century.

No doubt similar systems were installed on the soviet ICBMs, probably still in use today.

Yeah, it looks like one of those cases where Elon is being stupid - self-driving cars with LiDAR are a lot safer. Anyone know how much a LiDAR system cost nowadays?

One can argue it was OP's mistake to not hire a few people himself, train them and delegate part of his responsibilities to them. This way he would have the management position he desired, he wouldn't have to work such long hours,
