Nope. too much trouble. And one less option to have to stock. I don't think you can even get a glassless roof anymore either.

If that's the case, then why develop past L3? The point was for RT's and if we don't want to have to pay attention. Also, I don't believe that eventually keeping human involvement will be a positive thing. For now, maybe, but eventually, no. The system will be too fast and able to determine the...

Did you get that chart from WTF Happened In 1971? If not, check it out. You see that one, and many more. You'll see how many aspects of life were affected when fiat money was introduced. Yes, that chart is showing the productivity to hrly compensation correlation. But it's actually an example...

What's the human number? It's clearly over 99%. But how many more 9's is the best human? 2,3,4 maybe? So the real number has to use humans as the base. Otherwise, how can you accurately pick a goal number? The day the overall system is even just equal to the best humans, then it's ready for...

I would argue that those countries are the cause of the problem, not AI/robots. These problems already exist, and have long before computers. So why not go at the source now! Why wait for some imaginary time in the future? You act like AI/robots took over yesterday. They aren't taking over...

Never at scale. It doesn't scale, isn't sustainable.

Okay, this is very informative, thank you. I've been under the impression that a UBI would be basically the same amount for everyone. If I'm understanding you correctly, UBI is just a repackaged form of welfare, with better optics and marketing. It's a Robin Hood plan to tax the rich and give...

There are tools already available that convert BTC to fiat. I have a Fold card, that can replace your bank account. You can send your direct deposit to it, choose how much to convert to BTC and how much to leave as fiat to pay bills. It's getting easier and easier to move away from fiat and live...

If that's what it takes, YES! If all it takes is someone taking the time to help people understand it, be that someone! Don't just accept being controlled, because you're not willing to do a little work. I understand that the older half of the baby boomer generation have struggled with...

Again, all ideas, no details. That's what's wrong with it. At least I'm offering actionable solutions.

You can call it the "Everyone gets rich" dividend. It doesn't matter what you call it, it's a terrible idea, that no one has even remotely explained how it would work on a national scale. Yang has "ideas". I'm skeptical of his "plans" behind them. "where income doesn't start at zero" - So what...

There are always going to be winners and losers in life. Timing usually has a lot to do with it. UBI just feels like another version of, everybody gets a trophy. I hate it.

I've tried to keep my thoughts at least remotely related to UBI. First, I never linked the price of Bitcoin to the USD. That's what you were doing, and I was stating that they are not. My point about the devaluing of USD is only related to BTC in that the more USD declines (on it's own), the...

That's not the VALUE or Bitcoin. You're looking at the USD price of Bitcoin. Yes, there is a difference. But until you invest enough time in learning about Bitcoin, you don't see the difference. That chart doesn't show the value of Bitcoin. It's showing you the DEvaluing of the USD. Also, how...

I see UBI as the vehicle for countries to use to introduce their CBDC's. It just makes sense. It's the easiest form of disbursement. But far too many people now understand how bad the idea of CBDC's are. For the US gov to implement UBI, they'd have to use fiat. That is the Dem's wet dream...

Same with my dad. I sent him one, very mild, article only speaking of BTC on the edges, and I thought he was going to disown me! He watches too much MSNBC. Change happens one funeral at a time. Any "plan" to speed up BTC adoption is only going to work if it begins with education, and...

Yeah, so much simpler a design. The left one (that i have) is a mess. So many weak points, any of which will brake it. Not sure of the backwards compatibility. If I set up a mobile service to replace mine, will they install your version?

That's the reaction to all companies that are still in the raising funds for "research" phase. They may have some working fleet, but really, they're still in development. They haven't asked the hard questions, like you did, about the long-term sustainability of their business model. They're...

My .7 did not fix my issues. Hopefully .8 will.

None of these stupid steps are even needed if we just fix the money! None of these problems existed, or in most cases, were even possible prior to 1971. https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/ Fix the money, fix the world. It all leads back to the money, and how the gov broke it. And they've been...

I just got .7 yesterday, and this morning after it updated overnight, I still have the map rotation issue. I haven't had the other mentioned issues in this thread, just the map randomly rotating 30°-45° then back. It's randomly annoying.

Under those parameters, there wouldn't be enough data to compare. 😂 Taking out weather-related ones, and mechanical failures as well. How many accidents don't involve someone: drunk/high, distracted, or otherwise intentionally breaking the law? What's left? How else do accidents occur? Only...

I didn't use the 1000 drives number. My point was that some number has to be established. Then the bar is set for companies to pass. Quick internet search: about 20,000 reported crashes per DAY in the US, so roughly 50 days to reach 1 million. ~7.5 per million are non-fatal w/injury The...

To be fair, we really don't know what level of reliability the governing bodies are going to require before they'll approve anything. I don't think they even know at this point. Are they going to compare it to human data? Wrecks per trip average? Does L4 have to have half the wrecks? 1/100...

Also keep in mind, even having a working prototype doesn't guarantee anything. You still have to create a viable profitable business plan/model. You can have all the investor funds, but if you never create a business that can be profitable, those investors go away. Having the technical...

I'm back on MCU2, and after this latest 14.6 update, my nav has a glitch. It will randomly spin about 90 degrees, then go back. And it happens whether I have the compass set to the car or to North. If it's set to the car, the map spins, and if it's set to North, the car spins. This happens...

That's fun! I think a big part of Elon's "presence" comes from his height, 6' 2". The only option you have listed who's over 5' 9" is Bale (6'). There are plenty of "movie magic tricks" that could be done, but adding 5"-7" is tough. You'd basically have to hire the rest of the cast with...

If true, that's not a sustainable business model long-term. That reputation would spread and they will eventually (probably already) have more leaving than starting. I considered it at one point, but after doing the math, I determined it wasn't profitable for me, before I even began. There must...

Or the same people from doing it again, depending on the charges. The court would have to determine if the value of what they stole even goes beyond a misdemeanor. If not, they're back on the street in no time.

It's a very small percentage of Uber/Lyft drivers that are trying to do it full time. There aren't enough metro areas where it's even a viable option. And those areas are already flooded with traditional cab companies. No one is going to continue a job where they're losing money, come on. The...

They were caught a day or so later. But doesn't stop others from doing it again.

Correct. Plenty of variables that are in play here that are always in flux: RT quantities in an area, compared to taxis. Supply/Demand for rides Pricing And if left alone, the free market will find a balance. But Govs can never leave anything alone, especially if they see a way to get their...

It's not paranoia. I look at their actions, and ignore what they all say. Actions show the pattern of taking every chance available to power grab, remove/limit our freedoms through their control, and generally go with the flow of whatever will get them re-elected. That is universal in modern day...

I bought my '15 MS from a Toyota dealership a couple of yrs ago. The FUSC (SC01?) and Premium connectivity DID transfer to me. I had to add a CC in the Tesla app just to transfer ownership, but I've never been charged for supercharging. Do most of my charging at home, so my savings would be...

Anything that threatens the govs ability to control us will never see the light of day. If 1st world govs were going to consider UBI, it would only be because they could manipulate it in their favor. That's just one reason that makes Bitcoin so remarkable. It grew under the radar, the gov...

Since 1971, taxes have been irrelevant. There are needed in a fiat world. Governments can print all the fiat they want, for whatever they want. Prior to 1971, governments actually had to keep a budget, they had to ask for more money from their citizens if they wanted to spend more (War Bonds...

Yeah, fixing the money would go a long way to stopping a lot of the corruption. If all the poorly run corps couldn't afford to buy their senators, less senators would stick around. But I still think term limits in Congress is an absolute need either way.

Those seniors worked decades paying into the SS system. They more than deserve it, they're actually owed it. Not their fault the gov stole from the SS funding. And your lack of math is convenient. How many +65 adults in the US? About 65 mil, 18% of the population. How many +18-64? 79% It's not...

We've been on a global petro-dollar standard since the 80's. I'd say that we've been there done that. It doesn't work. As for the LVT (Land Value Tax), it looks ok in theory, and has had "success" on small scales. But it's different in nearly every iteration. And I see it as a very risky...

Software is ever-evolving. It's not that these features were "already there". You act like they intentionally limit the features. The more likely explanation is that they don't wait to release everything they're working on at the same time, i.e. a true model year like most OEM's. They release...

You'd be replacing a bunch of brown-nosing YES men, with a new bunch of brown-nosing YES men.

Nah, but I can picture the book-like stack of non-compete/proprietary clause/agreements she had to sign to get that severance/stock.

That is the single best way to evaluate a position. He determined the parameters of what he needed had changed. So he adapted to that. She got a full year severance! So every week prior to a year that she worked elsewhere, she was essentially getting paid twice! After basically working/on-call...

From someone who was laid off in March 2020 due to COVID cuts at my company, and unable to relocate, couldn't find another equivalent job for 12 months, I think I'm more than qualified to understand what they're going through. I never said they were all engineers. You posed an example using a...

Did Elon fire HR? I don't have details, but it sounded like it was just the Supercharger team that was fired. You're trying to create a worst-case scenario to make a point. Do you think that entire SC team all came from that area? I'd say a good portion of them relocated to work for Tesla. So...

Exactly. The dev project carries the name, and once launched it serves as a differentiator from other versions. And the further away from launch, the usage fades a bit but always serves as the timeline indicator.

As quickly as these vandals were caught, that would be a poor decision. Just take your severance and skill to the next job. Anyone who has Tesla on their resume, and can't find another job has no one to blame but themselves.

You have a 150,000 mile cutoff? Is that for initial coverage, or will any warranty stop at 150k miles? I'm in KY, which has been very EV friendly with recent legislation. Are you in communication with KY about getting approval to do business here?

If I'm not mistaken, I believe once the install is done and their online, it might be the property owner who gets notification, and they would have local techs that do repairs. Corp Tesla may not have anything to do with the sites once it's up and running. But I could be wrong.

Yeah, send a non-lethal charge through the line!
