I used to work with German people (I’m Finnish) and despite being pleasant people, simple things took a long time. It was always something to do with the responsible person not being available, perhaps on holiday or sick leave, and it wasn’

Progressive taxation dictates that more productive people take on more responsibility for running society than less productive people.

Are there enough of these people for it to matter? Let’s say instead of there being 5000 of these “nepo babies” (whose parents and environment of course never taught them anything so that they’re useless members of society in charge of mass

To your first point; is progressive taxation fair or equal? Aren’t the high income earners being treated unfairly without getting anything in return for it? To your second point; lifetime seems fair to me. Should college kids’ votes count a

To be fair, as a christian I don’t believe in goblins and unicorns. I do believe in something though. I suppose you do too, and in the end our core beliefs might not even be that different.

I found the “Computer Use” product name funny. Many other companies would’ve used the opportunity to come up with something like “Human Facing Interface Navigation and Task Automation Capabilities” or “HFINTAC”. I didn’t know what Computer

I find this elitist attitude towards trucks (well, anything to be honest) quite weird. 1. By definition, you need a truck if you’re decided on getting one. 2. There are no objective criteria you need to pass in order to get one, other than

I think the weight of your vote should come from the amount of taxes you pay, up to some cap. Can someone explain to me like I’m 12 why this is a bad idea?

We’re just waiting for that lawsuit to happen then. Are you a betting man? I’d be happy to have a little wager that in 3 years time from now, Tesla hasn’t faced legal problems for their product naming.

Does the brand name matter? The description should tell you all you need to know when making a purchase decision.

You and I might have a different view of reality. Teslas are among the safest vehicles on the road.

Doesn't really matter what they call it. The product name being descriptive of the current product or not is a different topic. For what it's worth, I wouldn't care if they called it "Penis Enlarger 9000" if it drov

Like I said, the time for studies is in the future. FSD is a product in development and they know which stats they need to track in order to track progress. You’re arguing for something that: 1. Isn’t under contention and 2. Isn’t rooted in

What does that mean? Tesla’s system isn’t unsupervised, so why would they take responsibility?

Very good point. The product that requires supervision and tells the user to keep their hands on the wheel every 10 seconds is not good enough to be used unsupervised. I wonder how things are inside your head. Are you ignorant or affected b

The difference is that Tesla has a general algorithm, while Waymo is hard coding scenarios. I never really got why people bring Waymo up every time Tesla’s FSD is mentioned. Waymo isn’t competing with Tesla’s vision.

It’s quite easy to be safer than a human driver, since humans are just human. Supervision is required because the system can face edge cases.

It’s been safer than a human driver for years. It’s also not meant to be unsupervised.

You’re wrong. Nothing about this is clear, and you’d be silly to claim otherwise. You should explore your bias and where it’s coming from.

As opposed to all the other execs whose companies aren’t a force to combat climate change and still fly their private jets. But don’t get me wrong, anyone and everyone can fly their private jets if they can afford such things. They will alr

There was adequate evidence that nuclear is capable of killing millions of people and causing large scale environmental issues. It’s still not clear today what effect CO2 or fossil fuel usage has on us.

Since the people making the innovations and regulations are different, I fear there’s no way to implement regulation that doesn’t lead to suboptimal results. And to be clear, when I say suboptimal results I mean misery and death in large qu
