If this were in any way true then China would have conquered the entire world long ago. No military or nation is invincible including China or the U.S.

Perhaps an ignorant question, but given that when I travel I have to bring a seemingly endless array of plug adapters, which power standard is the "best" and how do we get rid of the rest?

One of my favorite write-ups that I have read about Achilles posited that he had PTSD. This really captures that imho.

Maybe just me but sometimes after initial install l, I later find a weird non-standard library that I need to do something. At which point you have to scale the IT wall all over again if you work at a Fortune 500 company.

Hopefully, this does not get down-voted. I have lived all over the US, and noticed that only in California do I find young homeless people. They generally seem happy and even have dogs. I never saw this in NYC or anywhere else on the East C

This is a guy with 5 Beverly Hills mansions and a private jet. All financed via his Tesla stock. It seems as though any sacrifices related to "the mission" are expected to come from Tesla and SpaceX employees who have to suffer th

But the cash in many cases is already deposited with Tesla isn’t it? If so, then it has already been counted.

If you can get past the smarmy attitude there is a Twitter account called Tesla Charts that does a great chartroll each quarter: https://twitter.com/TeslaCharts/status/1121167252559151104

If you believe that they are doing false advertising around FSD, could they also be doing false advertising about this?

What is your point? Electrek is not exactly unbiased. It's literally called EV and Tesla news. Fanboi site's opinion should probably be taken with a grain of salt. Here's the Navigant executive summary directly: https:/

I was actually referring to the first part of the quote. Intentional misdirection to distract investors.

Neither does Tesla which makes it a moot point. They have no way to store or transmit the massive data you are describing off the platform do they? My understanding is that they have very limited storage and transmit onboard.

“diverting attention from the main problem they are dealing with, which may in the longer term leave open enough room for the competition to wiggle through.” Perhaps this is the intent rather than a side-effect.

Hmmm so then why is Tesla ranked last for autonomous driving by third party researchers? https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiR... And Elon has a long history of making false claims about T

I have asked many as well. I believe it is partly cultural pressure to conform, but mostly because they all have family back in China still and care about what happens to them. I have also heard, but have not been able to verify, that any C

The difference is that the U.S. is not targeting a regional majority / national minority using advanced technologies, and then placing them into re-education camps as a matter of policy.

They are formidable weapons platforms. The 1600 marines are the real story. You can cause a lot of destruction with subs and carriers in a region, but you still need people with guns to lay claim to territory, or to police it effectively.

For Ramen in particular you don't need to go to a specific restaurant to get a good meal. Ippudo Ramen is a solid local chain and very reasonable at maybe $7-8 for a big bowl. On the low-end side for sushi - Sushi Standing Bar is not a

Yes it’s so odd! The cultural attitude is all about presentation, sometimes to the detriment of practicality. Environment be damned and let’s get it out of sight once it is ugly. If there was any country to lead a full on plastic bag ban yo

We live on the edge of forest and prairie so we have a weird confluence of birds here. On several nights I have heard an owl hooting in our backyard, and was hoping for a tool like this! Instead I ended up generating a list of several likel
