It’s funny how I’m the opposite. I play FPS games on my phone as good as with a mouse and keyboard. I like low profile laptop keyboards because I can type faster with minimal down distance and force per finger. In the car the touch screen i

Looking at a touchscreen isn’t a big deal, people look down and around their cabin all the time while driving. People here sound like you have to be staring at the road without blinking to drive. In reality people are always looking around

Idk my Tesla drives itself 95% of the time. It also drives better than an most of the raging morons on the road.

I do over 100 miles a day in a Tesla on autopilot. Touchscreen works fine.

Can confirm, drive a Tesla and don’t need any extra buttons the screen is fine thanks.

I love driving a Tesla with no buttons. I hate buttons. The two multipurpose buttons on the steering wheel are enough for me. I don’t even like having a HUD. Just useless information in front of my face. Just give me a big touch screen and

I guess when you give power to the people that means flash mobbing meme stocks. Not something traditional institutions have had to deal with before. Traditional users as well who don’t see what happened as good behavior. Robinhood handled i

Because it was atypical behavior that any institution would have the same problems with.

I like Robinhood and I have no problem with them having technical issues when users a flash mobbed a meme stock. In the end they learned what to do next time.

Dealership markup is highly variable vs MSRP which is across the board so it matters a lot. Also Tesla prices are only up 15%. That is inline with inflation. Dealer and scalper markup on game consoles is way beyond that.

Each PHP file is a magic hot swappable component. Not some bulky binary you have to full compile/deploy on every tiny change. What other web technology compares?

Show me a report, anything that says people are buying lots of Teslas to resell them for a profit. Oh wait you can’t. What’s your argument, raising prices was a preemptive strike against scalping? That makes sense. Really your point was dis

by trixie_ 4y ago
It's one thing when scalpers jack up prices, but when companies do it it's called price gouging. I haven't seen Sony, Microsoft, Ford, Tesla, gas stations, etc.. raise their MSRP to deal with scalpers, only inflation. I have

If someone wants to pay a lot of money to a professional to create their brand identity that option is always there. If someone else just needs something simple and passable there is Dalle. And I’m sure there is every option in between wher

First your bank can’t move money from A as it doesn’t control A. A and C and services or even my personal wallet, not banks. The point is a bank is not needed to facilitate the transfer. Instead of having to move money from wallet to bank t

Say you want to move $ from service A to C, before Bitcoin it was not possible without a bank intermediary (B). There is processing time, high fees, business hours, etc.. So you’re handholding the process A to B then B to C. With crypto I c

The practical use case is pretty simple - being able to hold large sums of money yourself securely while being able to move it to who/where ever you want in less than an hour, 24/7, no questions asked. Before Bitcoin it was practi

Now it’s time to work on changing the laws. Tesla has been going at it alone.

by trixie_ 4y ago
Increasing prices has nothing to do with scalping. Just like Microsoft and Sony should of done with game consoles, but never did - Tesla has centralized buying which allows it to easily prevent scalping.

Stubbornness in supporting the direct to consumer business model. Talk is cheap, and other car companies can’t even do that, though this Ford CEO here is starting to crack.

by trixie_ 4y ago
Tesla has a year backlog and no scalper issue. So it’s not that.
23.
by trixie_ 4y ago
This is another one of Tesla’s innovations/disruptions that is clearly better and the rest of the industry is too stubborn to change even if it’s better for the consumer. No likes being hassled and pressured by a dealer. Does any other

When you scale up you expose the inefficiencies of existing systems, like title transfers across states. Even if not statistically different from normal dealerships, the numbers are greater because Carvana sells so many more cars. Anyways,

I'm hopeful that Opendoor can make home buying/selling as quick and easy as Carvana has made buying and selling cars. I think key to that is to ensure they minimize the amount of time they hold any property. Don't try to mak

You think if you went back to 1990 you'd see all the kids engrossed in their walkmans, books and newspapers like zombies?

Can you imagine time traveling from 1990 to 2020? Seeing every single person, even children, glued to a screen in their hand. It’d feel freaky and dystopian.

It's a strange move given Facebook changed their name to promote VR and the Quest is their flagship device. Also surprised that after mass producing this device for almost 2 years their manufacturing and supply chain costs aren't

I already use an extra iPhone as a secure platform crypto wallet, this feature sounds like it'll make it even better.

The dissertation is neither a specification or a standard which has led to decades long bickering of what 'REST' really is. Edit: See how this post has zoomed to hundreds of comments in just minutes by people arguing the 'one
