Sorry, the implication was that it’s “easy to do” insofar as simply getting it from a pharma manufacturer. The problem is getting the drugs you need is not easy to do, and while 4 thieves isn’t “easy” yet, it actually is way easier than a

This is a tone-deaf response that essentially boils down to “they’re small and it still isn’t trivial to do, so they don’t matter.” This reminds me very much of the comments on HN when Dropbox first launched, swearing that nobody would ever

Would you care to make an argument? Or just insult and leave?

I felt plenty of emotions. Sadness, fear, and so on. Bitter was not one of them, and I definitely don’t feel bitter now. It helps that both are in remission, but that wasn’t the obvious (or even expected) outcome in either case. And thanks,

Citation needed. People get bitter over good things sometimes too; because they see others as having gotten more, or perceive unfairness when there wasn’t any, and so on. I am not implying bitterness is bad. But you can absolutely be bitter

You misunderstood me. I very explicitly do not think it is a moral failing at all. I do not have any problem with someone being moody. Problems aren’t a competition. I mentioned mine not to imply that mine were worse, but just that they wer

Becoming deeply bitter is a very normal outcome of dealing with literally anything, in any year. It has very little to do with US company hiring processes and a lot to do with someone’s attitude and outlook on life. Both of my dads (father

I agree, except that Lucid’s small sample size has achieved the only complete 5-star rating on every test on their one vehicle; this can’t happen unless, as you say, the engineers on the ground view it as a goal by itself. The only other co

Tesla is, by far, the most egregious representative of this. Tata is second. Plenty of companies do care. These two don’t.

Lucid and Volvo both care very much about safety. Safety is core to both their brands, and part of what they’ve built them on.

And there isn’t anything wrong with that at all. Kids are, in my opinion, literally the only life choice you can’t walk away from having made. That is extremely high stakes, and not everyone has the appetite for it or desire to engage in it

You’re right; I can’t predict the future. But I have experience having gone through extremely difficult things with my wife; both of our dads were diagnosed with cancer this year, months apart. Our relationship started only a year before a

It is obviously extremely important who you choose to have children with. I completely agree. If I’d had kids in my 20s with my ex, I would have ended up with regrets for the rest of my life (not the kids, but my choice of with whom to have

That is simply not true. You are speaking about the past. In the present and the future, especially as superchargers open up to other brands and more NEVI chargers get built in the second half of this decade, I see absolutely no reason peop

Sure, they are slowly getting added, but the incentives are pretty low. The vast majority of apartment-dwellers charge either at work (if they are lucky enough to work for a large enough company that builds chargers) or at a public charging

Tesla has yet to ever produce a 1000V charging cabinet. Their v4 chargers that claim to be 1000V aren’t, because they are still driven by 400V cabinets. Building 1000V cabinets is very very expensive, which is why Tesla is behind the curve

This is true. It has gotten way, way better.

Most CEOs don’t attempt to directly influence an election to align with their personal politics by spending a quarter of a billion dollars on a candidate’s campaign, either.

Other EV brands have increased sales in the same time period Tesla has lost them.

Superchargers also have the benefit of only having to support Teslas. It is very relevant to note that the rollout of using superchargers by other brands has been a giant clusterfuck.

Literally the first three proposed explanations in the discussion of the findings in the meta-study you linked are correlational. It is only the fourth proposed explanation that suggests a possible causal relationship.
