Not with all the sabotage Google did, of course not. (Yes, sabotage. Google did everything they could to prevent their services from working right on WP, something they never did to iPhone. Including working on a YT app together... and then arbitrarily deciding that it violated TOS and banning it.)

I find it hard to believe that the COGS for Rivian’s electric vans are actually $200k.  COGS is the actual per-unit cost, without any additional amortization of the startup costs like machinery, workforce development, and so on.  The only way it would cost $200k is if they were still doing things like machining parts

Look, Musk trolling is stupid and juvenile.

The AVERAGE Twitter salary is 120k/yr... The average Coders salary in 221k/yr. If people would rather walk away from that, their unvested equity and all the perks - the I am sure there are a host of folks waiting to fill those seats...

I don’t wish unemployment or work stress on anyone - but for that kind of money

The airport was perfectly situated to allow plane loads of soldiers easy access to its capable of delivering troops to the region and so was vital for the Russians to take over the airport. Russia did eventually captured the airport...

What do you do when SCOTUS says they’ve been improperly seized and the Russian oligarchs are due their stuff back in pristine order, or money in lieu thereof? And if you think that would never happen, then you haven’t checked the makeup or ideology of the current bench lately. At least if we’re keeping them in order

This should have been the headline: Airlines non-stop efforts to shove more people onto planes now have them scrambling to keep weight limits in check.

I hope everyone that's been laid off in the last 10 months has enough in savings to weather the depression the Fed is pushing us into.

Here’s an idea, make the seats wider, have fewer seats on the plane, charge enough for the wider seats so that the potential revenue of the plane in the same. Everyone’s happy.

Actually, before the Elon mess exploded, there was already speculation that Twitter was going to have to cut nearly 40% of its workforce to appease existing stockholders. Compared to all other social media companies, it’s roster of employees was vastly overgrown and inefficient. Elon initially came in with a plan to

...it doesn’t sound like a V8, but who cares?

Exactly as many people are going to permanently flee Twitter as moved to Canada when Donald Trump became President.

If you just block Trump and anyone else you don’t want polluting your feed then Twitter is fine.

Dying from the challenge would be if the owner came out and shot them, or if the hack caused the car to lock all the doors and catch fire. They died from crashing a stolen car.

Why is the headline always something like “Police kill man driving around lost in unfamiliar neighborhood” and then you read the article and it’s like “guy got lost, started aggressively banging on doors after midnight, residents called police, guy got back in his car, pulled out a gun, and started firing at the cops.

Stealing someone’s car is not a “challenge”, it’s a crime.

You’re forgetting that the 200 Amps coming into the home is three phase power. It’s 200 amps of 240V coming in.

No one in this story seems particularly likable...

You don’t need the internet. You can open and start the car using bluetooth to your phone (doesn’t require cell service on either device), using the key card, or the key fob. There are three different options to drive the car, all of which don’t require internet. I think the problem is the user here. 

It doesn’t. Remote unlock over the internet is a fallback entry method, not the primary. The problem is he broke his key fob... apparently somehow this is Tesla’s fault?
