They really don’t take it well when you post on their social media that it’s socialism for the state to act as the insurer of last resort. They should just let the markets do their thing man.

The platforms would be well within their rights to remove these videos. It’s considered reasonable moderation under Section 230. Ironically, in this situation, forcing the platforms to leave the content up would be a first amendment violation covered under the Compelled Speech Doctrine.

I don’t know if you remember the last SAG strike, but it very quickly devolved into a “Look how greedy these actors are. Fuck these rich assholes. Am I right?” in right-wing media.

Man, here I was hoping the LIFO accounting crunch would finally comes for these assholes. Their tears were so delicious last year and congress still hasn’t bailed them out as far as I can tell.

I really wish Shawn Fain the same success Sean O’Brien is having with the UPS teamsters, even if it’s as gradual as their negotiations. Hopefully, he can course correct the mismanagement for the last several decades.

Thats largely because the sages and oracles that framed our constitution didn’t put “on a computer” in the foundational document. Since they were omnipotent beings with intellects and vision so far beyond modern man they forsaw the computer and knew of it’s dangers, so only paper should be protected.

I think we’ll get there eventually, even the most anti-consumer practices get workarounds or reigned in. I’m more concerned in the short term that it will be very easy to buy something where the lifecycle may be drastically shorted by the manufacturer losing interest in the software or jumping to another platform.

Agree on the Tesla part. Whatever else I may say about them they really changed the landscape.

It happens more often with regional jets but isn’t uncommon with larger aircraft.

That’s true. The issue is that the older tech is based on a generally understood standard that can be more easily interpreted and worked with for at least the basic functionality.

GAF is probably further along than Tesla is in this field. While it isn’t parity, the cost is roughly 75% more than architectural shingles.

Bodywork. I’ve tried blending paint, replacing sheet metal, and sanding filler, but it never seems to come out right. It does what it’s supposed to do but you can always tell I monkeyed with it.

Tesla likely doesn’t use Cox Automotive’s vAuto Inventory Planning software, which appears to be where this dataset came from, since they’re direct to consumer and all.

That’s great, considering teeth are treated as luxury bones in the US.

I think Axios and the author are fixated on the upper end of the market, hence my comment.

Read my comment again, then look at the examples of cars that are sitting in the Axios article.

Weird. Normal people don’t want to buy a $50k car with 7% interest rates, tech that’s outdated faster than a modern smartphone, a business model that’s constantly pushing microservices, and tracks all your movements with no way to opt out or find out where that information is going?

There’s a reason I left the commercial aircraft space to work on UAVs when I was younger. You find all kinds of gross shit in commercial jets during C and D checks and all manner of things that you really wish you didn’t.

I want Ford to offer a Universal Air kit like GM offers Specialty Vehicle Engineering’s performance packages.

I’m becoming more and more convinced that “The Great Filter” is just Kessler Syndrome.
