None of that shit actually matters to the people who despise Elon. No, it’s the fascist-friendly sex-mongering racist rhetoric that gets most people. Even that could be explained the way if it weren’t for his inept business moves with Twitt

The act relies on there being an extreme reluctance to ban. Once the banhammer has been used, the act kind of falls apart. Of course, difference pressure campaigns can then be brought to bear. We live in an adversarial environment, time t

Steve was great because he hired great people. For that he deserves a lot of credit. He also (for better or worse) had a very keen idea of what was workable or reasonable in terms of UX - essentially he had taste. Apple has numerous very t

The disaster isn't missing of a quarter, but the entire facade as to why Tesla is valued at the astronomic multiple of earnings. Tesla has confirmed what most it's not a tech company, but an auto manufacturer. And if it's re

Does that include the super annoying lane-keeping? Rented a Corolla and would never want to drive that again.

France is a major food exporter. Some of those lands could be re-acquired by the state for non-food uses. Our capitalist world economy equates wealth based on extraction, not preservation. It really needs to be reimagined if we're go

We need national payment infra so this BS doesn't continue. I want 0% rewards and 0% merchant fees using BIP/SEPA/UPI so all this grift goes back into the economy.

Income tax is often divided into where you live AND where you work (ie unemployment is typically work-state dependent). However the where you live part is over-emphasized IMHO.

I'm not denying your experiences - I was reasoning using my own. I did not have a typical upbringing - I'm felt like an outsider and went to a different school for like 7 years in a row. Clearly your circumstances dictated your o

> The upside is that I was a total basket case in my 20s, completely incompetent to be able to raise a child. You see, in a proper early childrearing situation, you would be a) near your parents and inlaws ideally b) they would share in

One could say they almost wanted to the security to fail - so they could respond with disproportionate and indiscriminate force to achieve their actual goals. Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

This is the dystopia we will get if we don't restrain the corporate powers. Given how judges can be essentially bought here in the US and police moonlight for big corporations, we're not far away.

Is the “call/email/fax 3 nearby fleet managers directly and ask them to match your flat purchase offer” still a feasible approach? I did this when I bought my 2012 car. Used to be called “fax-blasting” back when faxes were still a

The course of action is to lobby your representatives to amend the tax code to close the carried interest loophole.

It's not a property of the company. It's a property of the funding mechanism. Anything getting its funds from VC or hedge-funds will eventually succumb to this - it's the capital speaking.

It would take a large outlay to get the solar and battery to completely disconnect. Way more than it would to simply pay the utilities what they rightfully lobbied into law. They know this. And what do apartment renters or condo owners do

Why is it that other states have true 1:1 net metering while NEM3 is essentially less than 1:3? The real problem is that our grid is criminal underdeveloped. I get they need connection fees (as opposed to the $0 we pay now) but $128/m
