when the only people using it are grifters and speculators I think that points pretty clearly to the fact that it has no real world utility :)


there is a reason twitter now reports 'user minutes' or whatever and no longer reports DAU. Because their active users are plummeting. If 1000 bots spend all day on twitter thats a lot of 'user minutes' but doesn't do shit for selling ads and the health of the platform. The ship is already sunk, stop trying to bail the water out.


I also have FSD beta and my model Y can't even get out of my neighborhood successfully. really wish I could get a refund.


If I were in your shoes, I'd check w/ a lemon law attorney, and see what they think about using that to get a refund. After all, the car doesn't work as described.


I'm not a contract expert by any means, but this is what it says on the order page:

"The currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous. The activation and use of these features are dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving features evolve, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates."


The legal tension here is that the feature is called "Full Self Drive", which has the plain intuitive meaning that the car can drive itself. Adding a bunch of weasel language in the fine print may not absolve Tesla from the implicit promises it makes with the name.


I think you could find a sympathetic judge:

> The activation and use of these features are dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers

The fact that you are able to activate and use FSD (albeit not always well), implies, in Tesla's own words, that they've done this (otherwise it wouldn't be available for activation and use).

> as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions

These are the real weasel words, and Tesla likes to use them regularly, to imply pretty heavily to their fans that "this all works, but pesky regulators are keeping it out of your hands".


> The activation and use of these features are dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions.

In other words, you can't rely on this until if becomes perfect. Which is meant to imply it is already almost perfect, but upon careful reading could also mean it doesn't work at all.


I mean there is documentated evidence that Clarence has been on the take for decades so not very tin foil hat-y to assume this is happening with all of the justices


It's reasonable to be suspicious of the other justices, question their motives, investigate their finances and pass laws banning the exact kind of nonsense that Clarence Thomas has been accused of.

That said, I think it is absolutely tin foil hat-y to _assume_ that the other justices are just as bad.


>and pass laws banning the exact kind of nonsense

how do you then keep the Clarence Thomases on the court to not rule them unconstitutional and strike them down?


Go start your own subreddit then if anyone can do it! I'm sure you'll have tons of users and it will be super popular!


Half the battle of a popular sub is getting a good name.

A sub like /r/startrek is going to be popular by default. That's why people are squatting on subs like /r/ps8 right now even though a PlayStation 8 is probably 20 years away from being an actual product.


Reddit is also basically hard down right now and has been for 30+ minutes and not a peep from their status page. Trying to impress investors by lying about their shitty site.


works just fine over here


> Not only do they not have the integration, scale and user base of Google, Sure, but MSFT does. Well beyond the scale and user base google has.


I've been deep in the Google ecosystem for 10+ years and my sentiment has changed simply because their products suck now. Every offering they have is worse today than it was a year ago. Google assistant is borderline unusable in it's current state, and I used to sing it's praises from the mountain tops.


generic term - lot of time aerodynamic forces rip the vehicle apart and isn't an "explosion"


Well, it wasn’t disassembled either. That implies you can reassemble it. This just a funny phrase designed to cover an embarrassing situation. SpaceX just farted in an elevator.


They didn't fart in the elevator, the pressure change caused by rapid elevation gain caused an unexpected gas vent event


yes, it is.
