Evangelicals have expectations of very strict gender roles in the traditional family. The “collapse” of the traditional family is why we have social and economic problems in the United States. Trans-women are the biggest threat to their ide

I absolutely was referencing the court’s ruling on Friday. The court has explicitly stated that injunctive relief is no longer available. The president can now strip away the rights of any citizen, and only those with the ability to fight i

My response to your assertion that Tesla is the best EV on the market is “so what”. The other brands may not be ”the best”, but buyers have decided they are good enough for their specific needs and that is all that matters.

Another huge risk: anything you say can be used in future legal action. Assume you leave, and tell them everything was great. Six months later, you decide that you have cause to sue. Now, the company can provide documentation in court that

You are missing a key factor: Waymo. Tesla has to deliver a product that is at least as good as Waymo. If they can’t do that, why would a person switch to Tesla? Waymo has a multi-year head start; that’s going to be hard to overcome without

The main reason it was canceled is because Donald Trump is a petulant child and he wanted to erase all of Obama’s accomplishments.

What makes you think that capitalists will stop with software developers? If AI can truly eliminate software jobs, then most knowledge based jobs will be at risk of elimination. Let’s be honest; capital wants to eliminate all labor, and dam

If we don’t figure out a way to keep people alive and relatively happy, the metric may become pitchforks per angry mob. I used to wonder if a Butlerian Jihad was plausible or just an interesting plot device. Now, it seems more plausible eve

Yes. I wouldn’t be happy they hold those views, but I don’t support basing a person’s entry into the US on how the feel about Donald Trump. Of course, your scenario is a big ol’ straw person, as those beliefs are not what they are screening

There is no driver in a robotaxi. If it kills a pedestrian, you can be sure that person’s family will say Tesla is liable.

by sundaeofshock 1y ago
It’s not the people in Robotaxis that are the issue; it’s everyone around the damn things that are the big liability. Regulatory protection will not help Tesla the first time it runs over a random pedestrian. It will be a PR nightmare.

Very safe. They obey most traffic rules and don’t do stupid things. I have friends who commute in bike and say they feel safer with Waymo’s on the street. As a pedestrian, I appreciate them since I don’t worry it might run me over when I’m

Maybe lie is too strong a term. Having said that, the article suggests that US cars don’t sell in Europe due to tariffs, ignoring the fact that vehicles like the Ford F-150 just don’t work in the small streets of most European cities.

Because LLMs are not deeply embedded in all aspects of our society. It is very difficult to reduce existing usages of carbon (eg cars) in society, as opposed to stopping the widespread use of LLMs.

The primary value of a bus is that it significantly reduces congestion. For example, an articulated bus can carry 50 - 120 passengers. That’s 120 private vehicles from the road. Removing the driver does not change the efficiency of mass tra

I rely on mass transit or walking for most of my transportation, so it is very rare for me to be driven in a car. Maybe 2 - 4 trips/month in a Waymo, and a monthly trip to Costco. Everything else is done on foot or transit, including t
