That is not how laws work. "could be interpreted" doesn't matter when there is one clearly stated and intended interpretation.

Honestly a pretty good point, the US already has "facial recognition vans" on the road in the form of Waymos that will provide video to police upon request. In most states, I think police could also just buy a Tesla, have an offic

The video says the regulation was written 50 years ago, and just says "operators must be stationed at the controls". Autonomous tractors were not commercially available yet, it's just a well-intentioned safety regulation that

Spite about what? Elon hasn't done a single thing to harm the administration. The bill he claimed to dislike passed easily, he stopped talking about Epstein as soon as it seemed like it might cause actual problems for the president, an

This seems like an exaggeration. It was a one person company for five years, then started expanding and sold for $575M seven years later. By that time it had ~75 employees.

Just want to point out that the "coordinated disinfo campaign" is based on a federal press release: https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/violent-crime-dc-hits-30-... .

If you don't trust the stats, then again, how would you know what effect the National Guard has? I can give you my subjective assessment as a DC resident, which is that crime is pretty low and it's a great place to live, but that

You're right, but if someone down the chain of command refuses to obey a declaration they consider illegal, the president can (and will) just repeatedly fire people until someone does what he wants.

True. Has an American soldier ever been prosecuted for obeying an illegal order?

It is far but you can take the metro to the bus, that's how I've visited. And it is a really cool museum, I would recommend it to anyone. Try to go before the shuttle is gone I guess, but they also have an SR-71, lots of satellite

The bill allocates $85 million to move the shuttle. For some reason Senator Cornyn doesn't mention that number in his press releases. The relevant text: > (F) $85,000,000 shall be obligated to carry out subsection (b), of which not

Yes of course it is on you, that's why the driver in this case was found mostly responsible. The question is whether Tesla bears any additional responsibility, not whether they are solely at fault, which they obviously aren't. &gt

by burkaman 1y ago
Do you think Tesla spends more time and money on making their warnings convincing, or making their marketing convincing? If a person is hearing two conflicting messages from the same group of people, they'll have to pick one, and it sh

I understand, just answering your question about what they would have been able to do.

They could have chosen which specific shows they would fund, they weren't required to give out no-strings-attached grants. They once hand-picked Tucker Carlson to host a new PBS show that they would fund.

This is how it already works in Europe (at least in Austria and Germany, but I assume elsewhere in Europe as well). You will also find long trains that split in half mid-journey, so you need to make sure you get in the right car or you&#x27

Wouldn't work because the announcement of the name is what makes him happy, he doesn't care about following through to make the thing actually succeed. Nearly every business with his name on it has failed.

The "fast tracking" accusation is not credible without evidence. This loan took years to go through the LPO process, here's an example filing from 2022: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022&#x2F
