Tesla hasn't proved that you can make a reasonable amount of profit compared to your investment when selling to that market. Hell, they haven't showed you can make any profit on th…

Probably not: https://shadowban.eu/scottadamssays

It is insane that that is allowed. I'm not sure if it is more or less insane that there are Tesla fans that would defend that.

But you don't understand. Car analysts since the early 90s have been saying that electric cars would become profitable and become a serious chunk of the market by 2020 because they…

That's nonsense. Take a moment to breathe. Think about just typical https, when you request some nytimes.com content that is actually being delivered to you througha bunch of inter…

This is actually pretty much the dumbest argument if you take just a moment to think about it. Imagine some drug that costs $100 million to develop and that the most it can earn in…

Good question. Also what's the price of an equivalent dose of Cheerios?

That's bullshit. Companies have "whole letter"s for pretty much everything they do. Gilead had a "whole letter" when they said they'd provide 1.5 million doses for free. Was that a…

You say that as though 1.14 million dollars is a lot.

Also, wtf is with your blatant misquote of even this biased article. It's 14 of the first 41 have no connection.

Anyone who reads this, be aware, it's total nonsense. It's ridiculous fear mongering, "omg, if it's not from eating bats, it must be from a lab!!!".

Well, they weren't. But conspiracy theories are rarely about what things are or what happened and more about incredulity about what things aren't.

Haven't looked at their build, but it's almost certainly the case that they are generating some sort of rust binding from the typescript code and the compilation times are actually…

Sure and an argument could be made that the specific things happening in this situation are wrong. That's not the argument that I replied to. I replied to a flippant argument that …

Why? Would it be wrong for a restaurant to provide meals for free to those in need?

From the article: Steven Brust: "Ask what's more important, human rights, or property rights. If they say property rights are a human right, they're on the right."

Right, these sorts of surveys typically have 5 answers: strong negative, negative, neutral, positive, strong positive.

Yeah, every single remark from the DNC in that article was absolutely ridiculous. All zero of them.

Your stats are just totally made up aren't they? In 2017, 1% of households had all sockets using LED and 71% had not a single socket using LED. 11% still had all sockets using inca…

That's only the case as long as complying with California's emissions laws is not too much harder than what they would otherwise have to comply with. That's a complicated analysis,…

They won't, and that puts the lie to all these people saying it's no big deal and they don't have to go to work if they don't want to.

Well first, you don't seem to understand how herd immunity works. That 70% you quote is only a useful number when there isn't an active epidemic. With an active epidemic you get si…

I'm curious what your response to the Cambridge Analytica stuff was? Open APIs to build your own experience are like 100 times worse than that, at least the APIs that CA used were …

This is typical academic code. The response is utterly embarrassing for the software engineering profession.

This is the only time I've ever actually been embarrassed to be part of this profession. Maybe other cases i can just say it's limited to this other subgroup that doesn't include m…
