LOL, imagine "Elon Musk is smart" getting downvoted on a site about tech entrepreneurship and company building. This is Exhibit #1 as to why people should not take this website seriously

But the clear difference is that Musk is very clearly an extremely high IQ guy. Trump and Ye have incredible skills in their domain but Musk has really high general intelligence, but is clearly fucking this up beyond anyone's expectati

I'd feel the same way, and that's because I was raised in the Western environment of single-family nuclear households.

All of this is stupid. It doesn't matter who writes crosswords, and all the rest of it, including this comment, and probably mine, is pointless complaining, shouting into the abyss.

Not even just the neighbors and friends - people used to live in large family units with 10+ people per household. This meant a much broader support network if, for example, you got ill and couldn't take care of your kid for awhile.

Conversely, if you say that "UK politics and government is dominated by Whites" without mentioning that the Prime Minister is of Indian origin you are making an equally misleading omission.

There are three ways to take great photographs: 1) Go to the most interesting places 2) Take photos at the most perfect moment 3) Have a great understanding of light You don't need to do all three, just any one of them is enough. But t

But surely the embroidering of a company logo on it vastly reduces the value of the item, and this must be accounted for. If I have a new Cotopaxi or Arc'teryx item I can sell it on Facebook Marketplace for 90% of its MSRP. But if it h

Yes, arguing about who fixes their holes "first" is pointless, but who fixes their holes "ever" is very important. It doesn't any sense for me to fix my holes if you have your finger in your ears saying "la la

Americans empirically do have the right to riot. Almost nobody involved in the 2020 BLM riots suffered any legal consequence from it, and short of the people who actually did things like steal Nancy Pelosi's laptop, most of the Jan6 pe

Americans riot because their protected right to riot is so inculcated in them since birth that they do not really even think that it's a matter of perspective.

Do I believe him when he says "Teslas will be full self driving in six months" like he has for the last 10 years? No. He's definitely a PT Barnumesque figure. Do I believe that Tesla will get to full self driving eventually?

Yes, his companies are completely sloppy and grossly incompetent. They only delivered 343,000 vehicles last quarter, which is way less than they should have, and the wait on a Model Y is close to a year, indicating extremely poor planning.

The phone's camera hardware is different. It captures a short burst of photos at high frame rate, and also integrates the data from the gyroscope to cancel out the effects of camera shake.

Software is a problem because software is what lets the dinky smartphone camera get a near-mirrorless-level result. If the mirrorless body had the smartphone's software, the image quality would be mindblowing.

I always suspected this, because given what I know of the average American, there's no chance that the recycling bins aren't full of all kinds of nonrecyclable items. The only things that I expect are reliably recycled are those w
