@robbyengineer@TeslaBoomerMama@TeslaTech7 I originally had the wrong account selected. It did show the COTP was available (not the screen you're showing), but when I clicked the continue button is said I wasn't available. I selected the correct account and it let me enter the COTP.
@RonFilipkowski If he has received 22 trillion in his first year, our national debt can be paid back by next year !!! Hail Tr... Oh, wait, he's lying again isn't he.
Easy. I don't cut off my nose to spite my face, as the saying goes. It doesn't hurt Elon one little bit if I don't buy the car or the stock. It doesn't persuade his opinions one little bit if I disagree with him.
To boycott Elon's products, would, however, rob me of a great car and a great stock. That would be stupid.
@TeslaBoomerMama Generally, I don't think anyone would want to buy any of Musk's companies. Primarily, it would be incredibly expensive, and it's hard to imagine synergies that make it worth the price.
If anyone would want to buy, it would be for the purpose of eliminating the competition.
@TeslaBoomerMama I like this a lot.
When SpaceX goes public, I hope there's ample communication about what happens to TSLA, because I would not like to see TSLA crash because people sell TSLA to buy SpaceX.
Do you think a TSLA crash (short term, I'd hope) can be avoided?
@JOBhakdi Dilution isn't good if it means our TSLA shares will grow slower. Elon's old compensation target was already 10 years out. So now, instead of 6x in 10 years, it's less than that in 10 years. Plenty can happen in 10 years to change the entire plan.
@FredLambert It's safer because their resources can follow robotaxis in areas where their confidence is lower. The confidence can be very high, but still have a gradient of confidence levels. Watching some areas of town more than others is safer.
@TheRabbitHole This is the overall problem with Charlie's approach. He "debates" unsuspecting college kids, then takes advantage of their lack of debating skills. Charlie, otoh, is very skilled, and made a lot of money on this shtick.
It by no means indicates there is or isn't white privilege.
@wmertens@ElectroBOOMGuy@Teslaconomics I realize that. I'm more thinking the issue was probably something other than LIDAR, as it doesn't depend on the grid being on, directly.
@ElectroBOOMGuy@Teslaconomics Has Waymo said what the actual problem was? Could have been something as simple as the network at their local support center went down. It would be interesting to find out.
When asked what the most useless piece of knowledge I have is, I have an easy answer. I know Pi to 50 digits. I did, however, win a geek coffee mug at the Dragon-Con hackers presentation one year. (I waited for everyone else to go first. The guy checking the answers didn't know it past 40 or so, so when I got that far, he just declared me the winner :) )
I asked Grok to read and transcribe an old, faded document. It came back with a review of an old UNIVAC programming guide). When I explained that none of that was in the document and that it had hallucinated the whole thing, it then read the document (a property deed from 1987) properly.
It brought back memories for me though. I spent many years programming UNIVAC machines.
@farzyness I think George Carlin summed up the reason elected officials often aren't qualified:
"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that." - George Carlin
