I’m trying to imagine if my brain was…

The chair is actually a woman.

Any suggestions for current gen routers?

Does anyone know about the technology that nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers use? Why are they able to operate but we can’t use the same technology on land?

No mention of the Tesla dancing robot yet?

I met an interesting Argentinian girl through ICQ. A co-worker ended up getting their inbox filled with large attachments from an overseas office with fast internet. We were still on dial-up. We just had pop3 access, no online front end. I stayed in the office over night to download the files so the connection wouldn’t be interrupted by someone else accessing the line. To pass the time, I downloaded ICQ and started chatting with the Argentinian girl. She introduced me to this song.

Great memories.

When your compensation is based on profit per car, you make strange decisions like removing winker stalks and quality control.

The term “hallucinations” originally came from computer researchers working with image producing AI systems. I think you might be hallucinating yourself 😉

The solar/battery stuff was just him saving an almost bankrupt company his cousins had. SpaceX and Tesla had both invested in the company, and he would have lost the money and like faced regulatory scrutiny had it went under.

Hyperloop was his effort to disrupt California’s high-speed rail plans.

There are better options. Musk is just the one that doesn’t care about safety.

I guess it is an old argument. How willing are we, as a society, to protect people from being taken advantage of by cons. Musk had been extremely resilient for a con man. Probably because he mainly goes after relatively poor people.

Musk’s companies aren’t the only ones making breakthroughs in their respective fields. The only difference between Musk companies and others is that Musk just didn’t care about safety, so his companies cut corners to make people think they are ahead. Other companies who are more responsible aren’t willing to cut those corners for ethical reasons.

That is what makes this even more egregious. Musk doesn’t care about this guy in the slightest, except for the publicity that might help Musk raise more investor money. So Musk takes advantage of this desperation without any concern for long-term consequences. We know people left the company because of their ethical concerns. Those that remain probably just don’t care or aren’t on a position to do anything about the lack of ethics.

Thanks!

Why flatpacks?

It’s so good many people trust it to much.

That’s the malignant part I mentioned. They trust it too much and end up running into a first responder, motorcycle or kid getting off a school bus. The aviation industry and many other industries have extensive knowledge how to avoid this very problem. Most other car companies implement systems to avoid it. Tesla just doesn’t really care that much.

My thoughts were also about phantom breaking, but I don’t know if it is still an issue.

By the way, I’m not downvoting you here.

They are also dumping Tesla.

Yeah, might as well put a KKK bumper sticker on the thing.

They give 2 statistics, accidents and incidents. Accidents are crashes, incidents are crashes plus tickets.

Tesla has most accidents per driver. Ram has the most incidents - the report you mention. Tesla has the second most incidents.

So, Teslas still top the number is accidents. Agree, we would need a study to figure out if Tesla driving assist suite is either incompetent at driver safety or malignant to driver safety. Perhaps this lawsuit will shed some light on it.

In any case, I think we can dispel the myth that Tesla is one of the safest cars. They have the worst accident rates among all brands and their driving assist features either can’t keep idiots from making bad decisions or, worse, even amplify the dangerous effects that idiots create while driving.

Okay, so Tesla had the highest rate, but switching power train types seems problematic. It didn’t really say if other EVs are close to Tesla’s accident rates, or am I missing something?
