Yes, I do have great disdain for Elon, he's an absolutely terrible human being. Thanks for digging it up. You may define "extremely high" at any level you want, but you don't get t…

I always knew there were good reasons I prefer Audi. Although to be honest, if not for the unconscionable amount of money they (or Navteq, I guess) asks for map updates, I'd be eve…

Yes, please, go on. I am sure you realize that when talking of insane, or otherwise, interest in Tesla, showing numbers for Tesla alone is absolutely useless. According to [0] Tesl…

Aren't instances of sexism, misogynism and threatening situations coming from RMS himself and going back decades numerous and well-documented at this point?

Sorry, but what is wrong with working for the US military in the grand scheme of things? Would Russian or Chinese military be a preferred option? Certainly seems to me to be far pr…

There is no "insane short interest" in Tesla. Just because Elon might want you to think that it is some nefarious conspiracy and not Tesla's incompetency in many aspects of making …

Can we please stop with ridiculous BS about evil shortsellers? Would you believe that it's martians spreading "fud" about Tesla, if Elon says so? And that would be at least as accu…

What really needs to stop is the fanboi narrative of "I drive my glorious Tesla like that (and damn the compriomises) so YOU BETTER LOVE IT TOO, AAARGGGHHHH!!!!!!" If it works for …

Then why do current Audis have perfectly fine Android Auto integration?

Well, after I drove one I liked it even less. But if some people enjoy paying Mercedes prices for Yugo quality, all the power to them. Although regularly driving into firetrucks co…

Or maybe, while they certainly can and should think and talk about ethical implications of their work, just like everyone else, we as the public should pay far less attention to it…

Because every place that did implement socialism did SUCH a great job of preventing pollution and protecting nature! As they say, the only thing History teaches us is that History …

So, with a few exceptions, making a few billions of dollars through some less than ethical shenanigans makes you admired by the Hired crowd. Good to know.

Brin isn't of Polish descent, so "cz" would be an unusual transcription.

Not the OP, but maybe, whatever his achievements (which mostly include suing his way into being listed as a founder of something he did not found), "pedo guy", as it were, shouldn'…

Yes, but wasn't the initial comment about NYT's rather consistent complaints about "big tech" when they aren't exactly blameless themselves?

Who said anything about the media? Big Tech is worse.

Just becaude NYT had never been either very truthful or very honest doesn't mean that the "other guys" aren't actually bad.

That's a rather charitable view of the Soviet education system, probably colored by the biased selection you'd see in the West. By 1990, that "very highly educated general populace…

Lucky you, to get so few of them. I gopt 4 in just the last month, and usually it's at least one every 3 months. And that when the first line of my profile very explicitly states t…

>> ay that someone claimed that Stalin drank the blood of his victims, would it be "inappropriate and indefensible" to try to debunk such a claim (and thus defend Stalin) in the pr…

That'd depend on what you'd want for QOL, different people value different things. Myself, I think quality of life in Chicago is so much higher than in BA that I'd take it even at …

Is this in any way surprising? Just like the lack of comments here...

[I expect if I'm being asked to do something, it's been vetted by our corporate legal team. I should not be expected to know every aspect of criminal and civil law to protect mysel…

Even 2011 has it, and I am sure it wasn't the first year it was available either.
