Not really the point I was trying to make, but buying a commuter car for the 0-60 acceleration time is dumb. One of the many reasons to keep a healthy distance from Teslas.

You can gamble with anything, to include things that aren't worthless like food, housing, stocks, etc. You can also invest in them. But you can't invest in worthless things.

That's fair. And yeah stereotypes are not fair. But we all do it anyway. Drive to the grocery store in a Lambo and expect to get sized up. That's just part of the deal. Even if you objectively find the Lambo to be a great value wi

Yeah I'm sure I am being unfair to Tesla owners. I see them as "dumb techies". Probably getting a fat paycheck they don't really deserve, thinking they're smarter than everyone else and their choice of car proves it

The Rachael Maddows and Don Lemons of the world are probably feeling pretty uncomfortable right now. The truth is that none of them, Fox personalities included, are journalists or even "news". They should all stop misleading peop

This isn't an excuse, but maybe part of the problem is that schools haven't evolved in the way they teach. Information doesn't move the way it used to, kids brains and attention spans are different, so maybe tying kids to cha

Well it sounds like they at least built something. Contrast this with someone like Warren Buffett who just pushes money around. And he pushes towards questionable industries like big oil and big soft drink.

I didn't accuse you of doing any of the things in your bullets so I can't really respond to them. What I did say is that you're pushing your biases onto others while simultaneously telling others not to do the same thing. You

> OpenAI is pushing for JSON rest api Which is probably one of the easiest types of code to autogenerate. In fact we already have tools to generate apis from a model. And a model could be produced by ai given human (language) inputs.

A computer can now pass the bar exam, but how many more decades until a robot can wash dishes or clean the bathroom? Without a human having to operate it. Housekeeper may be the new lawyer.

Right, but in SVB's case, since they are a member of the Federal Reserve System (like the Nevada example), they were regulated by the Federal Reserve in additional to the State. The California bank in that example is regulated by FDIC

I don't understand what you mean. When I say "game play" I mean the how the game is actually played. Things like available weapons or reachable maps affect game play. Cosmetics don't. Skins and emotes don't make you
