Nerd, professional solver of imaginary problems
Games like Baldur’s Gate assume you have at least some DnD experience. I remember playing Neverwinter Nights for the first time long ago and being really glad I played one session of DnD before it.
The f150 is huge, unnecessarily huge. But still better than this thing yes. I wish somebody would make an electric truck or ute the size of an old Ranger or S10.
This thing was announced over 4 years ago. Tesla has been taking preorders for 4 years. It’s a little late to change the agreement. Then again, I can’t imagine ordering this thing 4 years ago and still wanting it after everything Elon has done.
This is a worse experience than a phone on every way I can think of. For a moment I thought maybe it could be a good solution for visually impaired people, but then I saw the laser projection screen. This seems doomed to be e-waste.
If everybody could stop using Twitter, that’d be great.
This is what the company valued itself as being worth. Not what it’s actually worth. So I’m not sure if Elon is trying to over or under value here, but I’m guessing over.
You’ve described a big part of why I hate startup culture. “Let’s build cool thing then sell it to a huge company and get rich.” I’m never doing it again, such a waste of time and energy.
Only until they’re in front of a judge it seems.
So the full Republican party supports this guy, who:
The dude that runs that site and writes most (all?) of the articles writes some wild conspiracy stuff. Is there a credible source for this? Like from a person who hasn’t said stuff like “If Ossof and Warnock win Joe Biden will have the votes he needs to impose Communism.”.
Edit: wait I just saw the organization linked. That is some right wing nonsense.
I think this is more about creating a remote work system for the federal government than anything else. But anything supported by Sinema is probably a terrible idea.
Most of that going to get eaten by transaction fees. Is Elon still involved in a transaction processor?
I once wrote some software that replaced almost an entire accounting department. No bonuses were paid, no salaries increased for the few remaining people, it just went into the shareholders pockets. The company was already very profitable before this.
Cars aren’t automation, but you already know that. And despite what Elon says, they still require a driver to be operated (although that will probably change soon and remove 15% of jobs in the process). I’m not saying all advances in technology are bad. But things that will replace entire workforces, like how this will replace ground crews, have a negative affect.
Remember folks, most jobs are lost due to automation like this. These robots won’t be paying taxes or simulating the economy.
It can’t be enforced outside of their borders. And it’s barely enforceable inside of them. Matrix chat will probably get more popular. Proton, and other private email services, will still exist. This seems like people who don’t understand tech trying to regulate it.
ETA: if you think this is enforceable, look at how common piracy still is despite it being illegal in most places. VPNs, onion routing, alternative DNS, etc.
And those are the same people who are running dev-ops, infrastructure management, and acting as CTOs of companies. If you rely on enthusiasts, you don’t wanna piss off the enthusiast community.
This is the wildest take I’ve heard. People don’t trust meta because it’s Facebook, because it’s Zuckerberg. We’ve all seen what they do with companies they acquire (I used to be an Oculus rift owner).We’ve all seen how poorly they handle data, seems like there is a data breach every year.
Hell, when I was an Oculus rift owner I worked inside of Virtual Desktop some days. I’d argue that Meta killed my desire to work in VR.
That’s a bummer. Just about every pharmacy and shipping store in the US also has a print shop inside of it. And our libraries do cheap printing too. So even if you’re in the boonies you’re usually only a few minutes away from something.
