Drugs.
His massive rightward swing seemed to correspond with when his drug use was reported in the media.
I think his drug use makes him feel like he can't be wrong and reinforced his conspiracy laden mindset... And that pushes him into fact-free conservative-Central.
It was the boombox outside her window that got her, wasn't it? /s
The ones that really get me are the way they show execs at companies. The "look, this character is so bad ass at being an exec!". They always come off as so unrealistic and cringy.
I've swam in that ocean, and that's not how that shit works. Engineering too. In reality, it's always a team of engineers that get something done... It is NEVER some rich smart guy inventing stuff on his or her own in their super fancy workshop.
I feel like you don't actually remember what web 1.0 was like. Or even bbs's. They... kind of sucked. I mean they were great for the time, but compared to the internet of today, pathetic.
Oh no doubt. I'm not saying that I come home and jump into doing chores, I'm saying that doing constructive or productive stuff in your own life can have a good recharge feeling in it's own way. I certainly come home and veg in front of the computer... but if I spend the whole weekend vegging in front of my computer I end up feeling MORE like shit than I did on Friday. A healthy combination of both leaves me feeling recharged and happy.
Doesn't matter. Still feels good to get stuff done that's for you and not for somebody else. I've gotten old enough that I'd love doing gardening or fixing stuff around the house on my weekends. That shit's for me, it makes my life better, not someone else's.
This is directly a result of Elon's edict that Tesla cars don't use lidar. If you aren't aware Elon set that as a requirement at the beginning of Tesla's self driving project because he didn't want to spend the money on lidar for all Tesla cars.
His "first principles" logic is that humans don't use lidar therefore self driving should be able to be accomplished without (expensive) enhanced vision tools. While this statement has some modicum of truth, it's obviously going to trade off safely in situations where vision is compromised. Think fog or sunlight shining in your cameras / eyes or a person running across the street at night wearing all black. There are obvious scenarios where lidar is a massive safety advantage, but Elon made a decision for $$ to not have that. This sounds like a direct and obvious outcome of that edict.
Just like it would be if Netanyahu was assassinated.
"We don't want witnesses to our human rights violations. These 'accidents' will keep happening until you leave."
All electricity is overhead for security reasons, routing solar energy through the rails would destroy that. Doing that (beyond the 100m test-track) would mean a prolongued political discussion.
Electricity is overhead for safety reasons (maybe that's what you meant by "security reasons"). As long as the voltage is kept low (< 48V) and the runs of solar panels aren't too long, the power can be run safely in the tracks.
If you don't mind sharing, I would love to hear your memories of that.
