Unpredictability. The sails do reduce costs/fuel but they do so in a rather unpredictable manner. Cargo hauling is all about rigid scheduals and precalculated costs: contracts to deliver at an exact time and load an exact amount of fue

Lol. Season ticket holders are maybe 0.001% of phone users. Even if they are all whales, it isn't a sufficient market.

It isnt just oil. The us also buys most/all of its natural gas import from Canada. That stuff isnt refined.

What a great time to start a trade war with the largest oil exporter. Think there is a shortage now? Just think what happens when canada turns off the taps. Even the threat could trigger covid-style hoarding.

They do and there are certainly some mid-level management jobs at risk, but ask any farmer/electrician/millright about the claimed impact of AI and they will laugh. They have yet to see an AI capable of reliably replacing a fuse l

That is a very effective use case, but until we live in hive cities, stadium-level device densities are an edge case. Developing a new generation to service the 0.01% of time phones spend inside stadiums seems inefficient.

Prejudice and some practical reality. Woman at the time died randomly but very regularly in childbirth. Every pregnant woman had a sword dangling over her head: not a safe bet for leadership.

And the general scam of an attractive young woman speaking to a bunch of elderly men (realy, look up the early investors) and somehow convincing them to part with thier money is as old as time. Heck, Henry kissinger was on her board.
