Frankly, I'm surprised that you got four downloads! I'm not saying your app is bad, I'm sure it's perfectly fine and does what it purports to do. The UI looks nice. I just find it incredibly difficult to believe that any

Why do I have to pick the factors first? Do I have to use all of them? Why shouldn't I use all of them? If I do, why aren't they already picked? Why are all of these sliders? Why don't they start at zero? Why do all of them a

I don't think other governments are stupid enough to let their taxpayers float poorly made cars that keep exploding because the guy in charge keeps talking about self-driving functionality that will never arrive

I will give him credit in as much that he is an exceptional con man uniquely skilled at fleecing investors and moneyed nerds. Still, though, that hype machine couldn't have been built without his gobs of money and utter lack of scruple

The reason is that no one was in a position to exploit the EV credit system because it didn't exist yet. Right place, right time, only made possible by having a bunch of money and zero qualms about exploiting that program.

Musk's apparent thinking was that it would have been easier to wriggle his way out of the Twitter purchase than the fines (around 1bn, if I recall correctly) turned out not to be the case!

if twitter were very strongly moderated it might have helped, but as it stands now it's a $8 fee for scammers to push their scams to the top of any thread. Even if they get banned every so often it's a great value proposition. Can

Both Tesla and SpaceX are successful almost entirely in buying out the work of other people and exploiting government programs. If you already had a bunch of money (thanks to being in the right place at the right time w/r/t PayPal

I didn't get conned personally, no, because I am enough of an engineer to see through his garbage, unworkable ideas. A lot of investors (and municipalities!) haven't been so lucky.

they can't "code", they can't "explain a joke", they can output cached human data in such a way that it seems like they're generating these things themselves.

we're still doing this in 2022? How much of this warmed-over libetrarian claptrap do we still need to sit through? Things are bad because the got dang gubbermint won't let me dump industrial waste into the river! We're failin

The idea that the delay(s) hurt Buttigieg in any way is a profound misreading of the situation. Iowa has a small number of delegates, and it's only important in as much as it creates momentum for the winner going into the next three st

Bois is undoubtedly one of (if not the) best sportswriter alive today. Not only is he wildly funny and profoundly sincere, but he's able to elevate the subject matter above the bookkeeping and political insider drama his peers only eve

this was me a few years ago, here's some stuff I learned about diving in to a codebase like this: - don't be rude but make it clear you think the code is messy and you can clean it up. Explain it to non-programmers in terms of tim

Fan death is ridiculous but it's often used as a face-saving measure for families that have to deal with a suicide or an alcohol poisoning related death.

you must, must, MUST talk to a health professional. Even if you just walk to the nearest hospital or clinic and describe your symptoms and ask for a referral. This is not due to your life choices, or your personality, or your individual phi
