As long as you’re actually contributing according to your income, then guess what? You’re still participating in socialism!

If we can’t get to level 5 autonomy, then advance AI (human level and beyond) will never happen either. If we can’t build a machine that can do one group of tasks (driving) as good as a human then general AI is definitely out of reach

I think that happens with a lot of tech products especially if the industry is relatively new. Remember how bad the Apple and Android fanboys used to be? This will probably calm down as the industry matures

I think there are some simpler reasons why a lot of people hate Tesla. Some people hate Elon (who can be a total jackass) and transfer that hate to Tesla, some people predicted tesla would fail early on and are upset that they were proven wrong, and some people, who are not necessarily connected to big oil or the…

Unfortunately it’s not just Jalopnik that has gone down hill, gizmodo and all the other GMG sites have been getting worse and worse. The writers don’t even bother to understand what they are writing about any more. More and more they’re just writing clickbait based on twitter/social media drama.

Tesla haters are just as irrational as tesla fanboys and this site is full of tesla haters tripping over their dicks to bash tesla so it’s not surprising that Torch treated some rando tiktoker like they were deep throat.

Depends on the TV, some TVs are 120hz

I’m always curious about the house setup for people who do this. Do you have your PC in the same room as your TV?

What get’s lost in these discussions about Chief Hoskin’s comments are what are the actual opinions of most Cherokee people. People have been conflating his views with that of the Cherokee people and the views/opinions of political leaders don’t always represent the views/opinions of their constituents. I think…

It’s interesting how the whole apple vs android fan boi wars have mostly died down. People used to get so preacher or defensive about there preferences and now no ones cares. I think it partially has to do with smartphone technology maturing. It used to be that each new generation of iphone or android was a major…

I’m dreaming of an electric Bronco, but that’s just me

I personally think the Cyber truck is kind of ugly and because of that I would probably never buy one even if I was in the market for a pickup, but most of these takes are really fucking dumb. I just don’t get why people like Stephenson are getting so butt hurt over it. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it and if you’re…

The space shuttle is a completely different animal than the falcon nine or the future starship (if it happens). The shuttle was way more complicated, much more expensive to refurbish, and arguably less reusable than the falcon nine. It’s not just the cost/benefit analysis that caused legacy aerospace companies to shy…

The seats look to be more flush (but not completely) with trunk in this picture. I wonder if David drove a pre production model and this issue has been addressed or if this is all the rubber mat making it more flush.

The Porsche Taycan is efficient

The 126 mile range won’t be enough for a lot of people/businesses (especially in cold weather), but at least it’s better than the Mercedes version

Haha, so having disagreements about messaging makes someone a “neoliberal brained bad person” who is against all progressive policies, but at the same time these policies are so popular that most of the country wants them (including most moderates). So most of the country is simultaneously evil anti progressive…

Reading comprehension really isn’t your thing, is it. I said that they should push for the same policies, but in a way that appeals to more people. Besides that the popularity of these policies varies wildly depending on which version your talking about and how its described https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/medicar…

It’s a real catch 22. If you don’t counter those attacks then you let your opponent define you and people think “they’re not even denying it so it must be true”. If you do counter it, then that’s time taken away from your message and you spend more time on the defensive and talking about the things your opponent wants…

Or maybe progressives could push for the same policies without giving the right so much ammunition? Maybe they don’t have to call themselves democratic socialists when they are really social democrats. Maybe don’t use republican buzzwords to throw shade at the moderate democrats (like Bernie calling democrats the…
