   If you read the article you posted, you’d see it say that the EV problems referenced have to do with paint, trim, climate, as opposed to engine, transmission, etc. In other words, not major issues. “Tesla Motors, the market leader in EV sal

   It’s a few min out of my way each direction to get to a gas station, then another few min to fill it up, sometimes longer if I have to wait. For some reason you assume that the typical fill up is what happens every time, for an accurate ave

   Yea, I’m no Musk fan either but declaring Tesla overvalued simply because of Musk’s presumed appeal is just lazy.

   You’re valuing your own time at $0/hr that is spent at gas stations, doing oil changes and other ICE maintenance, unless you have a personal assistant to do that stuff for you. My calculation was 15 minutes/week for gas, 1 hour ev

   I don’t leave my front door wide open and let people walk out with my TV while the alarm goes off and don’t even try to stop it from happening…so no, I am not expecting to get robbed. I have cameras at every entrance and window and always k

    I am too, and mostly feel the same way. I have only been on it a few months though. How long have you been on it? Do you worry about long term side effects? I notice my heart rate is faster all the time though, but my cardiologist said not

    When I set up a public-facing web server, I take every precaution to make theft of my data (and my customers) as difficult as possible for thieves. Firewalls, frequent security patches, defensive programming, etc. Walmart and others seem to

    I gave police the license # of the truck that hit me, but they said it was an out of state plate so they said there was "nothing they could do." Translation being that they didn't feel like dealing with it.

    Investors don’t have to structure their deals such that selling the company or an IPO is the only way to get their money out though. They could say give me 10% of profit until I get 10x my investment, etc. At least that way investors are al

    If you are at OpenAI right now you are already at the top, it is not the stepping stone to Google or Facebook. They literally don’t care about that.

    Google doesn’t care if you’re going elsewhere to ask deep questions about Rust or whatever. They care way more that people go to them to look for the best bread mixer, or find a good restaurant, or a local massage therapist. In that regard
