understandable? i have lost any ounce of compassion when dotcom, greenwald, snowden and others have went full-bore pro-kremlin. the us and copyright bs is an iconic duo which i hate, but going after piracy is whatever compared to destroying

it’s been over a decade since 9/11 and the us government is still screaming about terror. flying in oceania and europe is just a more pleasant and human experience. thank god for precheck

i’ve never heard of the second form of non-compete. how would the former employer even know? how is that legal? any amount of compensation that is finalised upon leaving the company (e.g. RSUs) should be yours to own, period. that’s akin to

calling your own implementation a standard is like trying to make fetch happen; it’s so disingenuous. ccs is government funded, tesla “nacs” is not. if you want tesla to be standard, sure. open it up, get all automakers on board, dont charg

man ain’t gonna get extradited to the us over recording consent. this makes no sense, these are STATE laws. if he is subject to jurisdiction of canada, then legally he is fine. that’s like florida saying they will go to CA and arrest people

this sort of tracking is illegal and not done. berlin had to cancel its rollout of smart cards and tapping some years ago due to leaking of personal information. you just wave the card when you get on the bus, or just not at all

people already film their kids on their phone, take live photos of their dogs, and tiktok/insta themselves in a cool place. having the ability to share parts of our lives remotely and also remember them is profound. i often look back a

young people definitely gather online. people revel in twitch streams, voice chat on disc, and all sorts of online gaming, video calling, and more. these are still shared experiences although they are not in person. there is a lot of isolat

it's actually really frustrating-- moved to sf during the pandemic. it was empty but didn't feel so bad. it feels way worse now, lots of shops closed up or moved, a lot of sketchy areas downtown, the whole foods closed mid-market,

i wanted an EV sedan/not suv and didn't really want a tesla. the options were mustang mach-e, tesla m3, cheyy bolt, gmp (hyundai ioniq / kia ev6) but tbh there were a lot of tradeoffs between each car. i don't need 800V

it's not scary wording if people _need_ the range to commute or to have peace of mind. there _are_ considerations needed for the EV transition and many people don't know much about voltage at all so it's important to share th

one thing that i feel will come to a head is that there are many reasonable accommodations for wfh (family issues, health, flexibility, a11y) which i support, but that there is a growing resentment and classism associated with wfh. i love t

to be fair, a lot of people buy a new $1200+ smartphone every year or even every two years, to only get a marginal increase. or lease a car for $400-800/mo without really _needing_ to. i think a lot of people will pick up a Vision Pro

alternatively, we can reshape cities with better public transit, liveable walkable areas, and allow people to not need a car. europe and asia look at america and shake their heads. which is money more well spent?

radar is not lidar and is present on lots of vehicles that do L2/L3 driving except newer Tesla. optical sensors do not inherently tell you distance as a function of their sensing, whereas radar does. a vision only approach _may_ be pos
