Yeah, the way he clutches that blanket everywhere he goes and sucks his thumb, not to mention the biblical aphorisms and his holier than thou attitude

LMG wants to be the consumer guide for all things tech. That’s the point of their Labs project - test all the claims of all the tech from cellphones to computers.

It’s the only way to be sure.

i would have gone with bombing it from orbit. 

I’m struggling to wrap my head around the $1.14 billion in losses and why both Boeing and NASA are moving ahead with the project. Part of me is like, cut your losses before it gets even worse. And it’s not as if SpaceX hasn’t already provided a reliable solution for ferrying astronauts to low Earth orbit.

It’s bad. But putting the future of space in the hands of a total flake like Musk is even worse. Almost makes one yearn for the good old days of a former Nazi like von Braun.

CURES CANCER™ offers a small amount of pain relief to mild headaches. It might also totally fuck you up. CURES CANCER™ is not intended to treat cancer. Consult your doctor if you have cancer. CURES CANCER™ has no effect whatsoever on cancer. Why would you be stupid enough to think that? It’s your fault.

The idea that FSD is possible with no infrastructure updates is an insane pipe dream 

I can imagine Elon having a similar state of mind as Stockton Rush. A level of arrogance that leads them to believe they know better than everyone else. These types of videos should be a warning to Elon and show that this tech is not ready, but I’m sure he’s going to push it through anyway because safety is overrated…

Turns out marking up cars way above MSRP, with high payments might not have been a good long-term strategy.

Loved reading your perspective, thank you. I should make clear I don’t think Nolan is a bad filmmaker, far from it. I’m just expressing how I feel he’s lost his mystique for me

So judging by your stats, it seems the real problem here is too many people driving big vehicles they can’t properly see pedestrians out of.......

This is the whole thing. There’s no benefit to allowing all these self-driving cars onto the roads in SF. All it does is put taxi and rideshare drivers out of work. We already have a homeless crisis in SF. We don’t need *more* people out of work.

You’re probably right. But on the other hand, a more robust public transit system eliminates the need for self-driving cars almost entirely. A network of ten 30ft buses with an average load of 38 people (the average load reported by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency) would total 380 passengers. The…

Even if it makes traffic a bit slower in the short term we need to make decisions based on the long term benefits. 

Tech startups will go to any lengths to avoid paying their drivers won’t they? With all the money wasted on developing self driving cars, it would have been more cost effective to simply pay their drivers instead.

The cars need to go. I tolerated them when they were driving around with drivers and “testing” throughout Golden Gate Park, almost got hit a couple of times but whatever.

Okay, maybe not at the moment, but the opening of this article is really funny, since Joe Biden is famously probably the single most famous user/fan Amtrak has ever had.

Patiently waiting for the day Elon Musk is no longer relevant. That will be a glorious day, indeed.
