How?

But may nevertheless be necessary. Polite neoliberal capitalism will not see us through this challenge.

This seems like the perfect time to panic. I just don’t see how we’re getting out of this alive.

Yeah, I’m not seeing that in the history of the page either. I didn’t do an exhaustive study, but all the versions I see say that Musk joined after Tesla’s inception. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tesla,_In

It amazes me that a percentage of your percentage does so because to call out liars would be impolite and lead to discomfort.

shrug You're not wrong, and the criticism is valid. I only object to the implication than I'm uniquely flawed in this regard. Everyone suffers from being tired or stressed. Minds wander, people drive home after the bar when they

Not really. If you’re stuck in rush hour traffic, your “free will” is limited by your immediate surroundings, specifically the cars around you. Sure, you could abandon your car and walk or something, but that’s not likely a rational choice.

My car saved my ass. Southern Illinois, destination Niagara. Going through one small town after another. Flat. Boring. Autopilot is on. Highway is 4 lane divided, no service road. Occasional farmers market roads. Driving for a couple of hou

That almost seems like the exception that proves the rule. For Ionity, they have what looks to be a few dozen chargers installed in Europe, a few dozen more under construction, but nothing in the Americas, China, or elsewhere. The home char

The greatest threat to human survival comes from the political and economic clout of petrochemical companies. Buying gasoline powered cars perpetuates that. Using electricity as an energy source for transportation means that wealth is no lo

> Once big auto moves to EVs, what will happen to Tesla? I am very skeptical that this is ever going to happen, at least in any meaningful way. It's been pretty well established over the past couple of decades that corporations cann

I fail to see how this isn’t a step forward, though. Given that there will always be a subset of people who drink at bars who will drive themselves home, then the availability of things like Autopilot can only help to reduce overall the num

Explain, please. The only justifications for life elsewhere to exist that I am aware of are statistical, not evidential.

“ Tesla also compares crash statistics for Autopilot which, in addition to the comparative distortions mentioned above, is only supposed to be used on divided highways that are about twice as safe as non-divided roads.” This statement about

I did professional ketamine treatments twice. The first session was over four weeks, with weekly injections given for an hour each session. It helped tremendously for about 4 months. Then my depression kicked in again, and I enrolled again.

What damage? It’s fucking Facebook. It needs to die. I cannot imagine a situation wherein some dickwad posts something that would cause more damage than they already do, and the long term gain, should a movement start and Facebook become in

a) It's debatable how much people "suffer" from fucking with Facebook. Facebook is evil. Fucking with them is good. b) Facebook will only suffer if the feed becomes (more) useless. I don't understand how you don't

Thanks, I guess? > I appreciate the gesture you made, but you're exposing your friends and families to the random dregs of the Internet by giving away your account like that. That's kind of the point. FB isn't going to cha

Anyone want my Facebook password? I haven't used it in a while, but don't trust them to actually delete anything. Might as well poison the well. edit: u: james.childers@gmail.com , p: zaZLc&ncedu%X8apb$j9 Have at it.

That's making the rather bold assumption that the climate will be habitable for humankind.

I fear we are approaching a time where the only means to stave off holocaust is for actions to be undertaken that would get one banned in polite forums such as this one were they to be openly suggested.

I’m not sure they messed up. Go read the Special Counsel’s statement. They say the “characterization” was wrong, not the facts. And when specifically asked, no one in the Administration has actually denied the allegations that Trump directe

To be fair, No Man’s Sky has apparently seen some significant improvements. I don’t myself play it, but my kids have reported as much.

Interesting point, and it brings up an interesting question: how to publish the password in such a way that it can be verified that it happened, and when. You'd want something publicly timestamped. Twitter might suffice.
