Best to compare it to a known and easily accessible baseline such as index funds / passive investing. You are gambling relative to passive investing, in that you hope for higher returns but statistically you will achieve lower returns.

Yes, that is the definition of active trading. I suggest you do more research. Active trading is contrasted to passive trading (index funds). It’s akin to roulette in that it’s statistically non-optimal, not that the level of risk is the sa

Tech has done very well the past few years. In the long run, who knows. Gambling is taking on excess risk for excess profit, especially when the odds are against you (expected value is negative). This could be poker or active trading. It&#x

A substantial amount of evidence disagrees with you. Active traders (day traders or not) almost always underperform the market in the long run.

Seems like this would have been a good opportunity to actually show you the relevant data they’re collecting from your visit.

It doesn't strike me as ridiculous that a car's nav would keep track of where you've been.

lol. It’s tiresome to argue like that. Replace benefit of the doubt with “high prior probability of designing a safe car.”

He is not my “superhero” and I certainly am familiar with physics given that I studied it. Insults like that lower the level of discourse here. I’m simply suggesting we wait for some evidence; you’re the one making baseless accusations.

This baseless speculation is rather silly until it’s closer to actual production. We have no idea how it will do in crash testing. It’s not hard to imagine they’ve taken engineering steps to help with this. Tesla has an excellent record in

Other professional schools are not listed or they’d be much higher

This Wikipedia article is clearly not neutral in tone. It reads like the CEO wrote it.

Except all the first brutalist buildings were single family homes lol.

Not to mention a major motivation for electric vehicles is the public good and preservation of the public realm.

It’s likely by this pedantic definition that no automobile could ever be brutalist. Architectural gatekeeping.

Most of these things are not ridiculous asks and a lot of them do seem like they are truly underserved but programmers compared to the mildly tech literate end users. Of course parsing CSV will never go well

The "malfeasance" was how they negotiated ridiculous amounts of taxpayer money for their private enterprise.

Of course I knew that radar measured time of flight of radio frequencies, but it never occurred to me to actually look into the math. This was presented incredibly well.

So what, though? The Tesla will won do its weight and weight distribution. Does it not count because it’s not purely due to torque?

Great thought. Seems a clear case of a nonprofit being used for commercial gain.

Looking at the only two members of “Ethos Capital” (ironic name) 1) CEO: A Harvard MBA with typical PE experience 2) “Chief purpose officer” - Former SVP at ICANN responsible for corporate outreach. The structure of this stinks. I’d be not

At 14c/kwh it’s still cheaper on a per mile basis than gasoline. Is it really that high? That’s what I pay in New York City.

It’s probably not going to immediately outsell the F-150 in Montana, but I bet it will quickly become Tesla’s best selling vehicle I’m willing to bet. Long term (5-20 years), people in Montana will come around to accepting electric vehicles

by et2o 7y ago
That’s about how much average F-150s cost anyway.

This looks incredibly cool. It's like a vehicle from bladerunner. It's going to be iconic.

Tesla Model S and 3 in terms of collision safety are the safest cars ever sold in America. There is a giant crumple zone where the engine would be in an ICE vehicle. The Cybertruck will be the same.

Does the presentation really matter? 99% of people who will buy one of these were not watching. They'll just see the pictures online later.

I'm willing to bet this truck is going to outsell the Model 3 and Y combined. Tesla is getting even further and further from the restrictions of ICE vehicle design.
