The key reason for starlink to exist is so Elon can charge impoverished people exorbitant prices for substandard internet

I think we should strongly consider “would immediately end a driving test” as a valid criteria to stop a public beta of any self-driving system. Until it can complete (and pass) a basic driving test, we should probably limit test vehicles to people hired and trained to properly monitor and control the vehicle.

Tesla delivered 936,000 cars last year.

Tesla is an established OEM selling a metric fuck ton of cars every year with impressive performance.

Hahaha, first of all the Jan 6th protest had nothing to do with republicans, were mostly peaceful. Meanwhile there were HUNDREDS of violent riots directly supported by the democrat party all the way up to the highest leadership, they financed it, they CANCELLED our democratic laws to aid the criminals destroying the…

what I want in my car is a dumb display and a bluetooth speaker system.

I’ll bring my own computation thank you very much.

More pointless, expensive to replace nonsense.

“As long as you’re not a ham-fisted moron,...”

The most “cringe” take I’ve seen in a while. Do you even understand how the ad industry works? Every ad is run past focus groups and if they don’t approve of it, it won’t run no matter how good the creative thinks it is. So your problem is with an ad series that was created by an agency headed by a black woman who…

It’s bad enough when the average internet rando uses “cringe” as an adjective. You’re a professional-ish website. Use one of the many words that would have worked just as well to communicate your message without making you sound like a 12 year old.

I do give them credit for creating a marketing agency specifically for African Americans and having it led by a Black person. I’m glad she gets it.

It’s about a... wait for it... car.

AND Venmo is *owned by* PayPal. What a ridiculous hill for LifeHacker to die on.

I interpreted “faster than a GT3" to mean “I passed a GT3 on the straightaway”. That, or the driver of the GT3 was inexperienced and was doing the smart thing by not pushing it beyond his comfort level. Anyone can pass someone by flooring it through a braking zone and zooming past everyone else straight into a wall. 

It’s especially funny because I had to show an early 20's coworker last week how to make a pie chart with excel. I’m not sure excel skills are an especially prominent feature among Gen Z.

If you don’t know how to convert a Word file to PDF, how to make a bar graph in Excel, or how to copy paste without using the Edit menu, are you on any nursing home waiting lists yet? The good ones can take years to get into.

All of this sounds like someone who doesnt work in an office.  No one gives a shit about any of these things.  No one is laughing at the Olds for saying Presentation instead of Slide Deck.

This.

“I can’t image Elon Musk doing something insanely stupid”

I don’t understand that outrage of wanting to paint Air Force One with the colors of our national flag. I mean the light blue and gold look nice but they are not exactly USA colors? Could the design be better? Sure. But I think we should use the colors of our flag.
