Ah! Thank you for the explanation

If Tesla’s stock crashes, then the value the banks could get from selling it is much lower.

If Twitter and Tesla go bankrupt, the banks will have loaned out billions to own something worthless.

At least I would assume that’s how it works.

I feel gross agreeing with Rand fucking Paul about something.

Good to know, thank you! I’ll have to look closer when I visit a forum next.

Reddit does shitty stuff, but at least I’m able to find stuff on there. Why Discord took off as a medium to replace forums is beyond me. It’s not easily searchable, and search engines can’t index it. If people aren’t fastidious about replying to messages they’re responding to, it’s just a nonsense stream of consciousness from dozens of people.

That being said, I hate the formatting of most forums. Reddit and Lemmy’s comment nesting is excellent. It’s very easy to follow conversations.

No, their airlines are not an ancillary product. They are their main product. According to Boeing’s earnings reports, the commercial aircraft segment of the company made up 56% of total revenue in 2018, 42% in 2019, 27% in 2020, 30% in 2021, 38% in 2022, and 43% in 2023. The rest of their revenue is split between the Defense, Space and Security segment, and the Global Services segment.

Prior to 2017, the vast majority of the earnings for the whole company came from the Commercial Airplanes segment. Since then, that segment has been operating at a loss. Since 2022, both Defense and Commercial Airplanes have been operating at a loss.

If you’re curious you can look up Boeing’s 10-k form. Page 56 has the revenue breakdowns.

Why would they love this? More claims means they have to pay out more. Even if they’re assholes and don’t pay out, they still have to process and fight claims which costs money.

The Constitution came into effect nearly 13 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed.

I’ve played Stellaris for 12 hours straight, only stopping to go to the bathroom, from 7pm to 7am multiple times. I don’t work nights.

It’s a problem.

Who needs “AI” when the simple algorithm they already use works perfectly well?

Logseq has tags. Logseq does store data in markdown files. There’s one file for each page.

I haven’t tried Obsidian, but I use Logseq all the time. What do you think is holding Logseq back? I’m just curious.

I know for me the mobile app lacks some polish and it lacks plugins, which is annoying.

Hell yeah. Though, I do get strange looks when I’m giving a thumbs up or down to an inanimate object…

The lidar removal really pissed me off. At best, a Tesla can “see” as well as the human driver. It seems to me that half of the point of using a computer to drive a vehicle should be that it can easily access sensors that us meat bags don’t have access to.

Plus the stupid central instrument cluster in Model 3s and Model Ys is beyond idiotic.

Yeah. I did want to reiterate that usability of the phone was the primary driver of the change, not necessarily battery life.

I got no indication of a dying battery other than needing to charge frequently until Apple implemented a battery health feature. That was after they fixed the shutdown issues.

My iPhone 6 was nearly unusable until they added in CPU throttling. It would try to draw more current than the battery could provide, which caused the phone to shutdown. Sometimes I would get the same issue during the boot process, which effectively created a boot loop. Resolving this issue was Apple’s stated reasoning for implementing the throttling.

I am no Apple fan, but in this case, I think the only thing they did wrong was not communicate what they were doing and not give the user an option to turn throttling on or off.

Honestly, this whole episode screams “Well meaning engineering team fixed a problem, but didn’t consider the optics of such a change.”

They do indeed. My area has them. However, those buses require riders to book a ride a day in advance, which is far from ideal. But even if that wasn’t the case, you’d have to wait for the bus to arrive, then you have an unknown transit time (depending on who else is being picked up and dropped off) to your destination.

There doesn’t seem to be a good option for disabled people’s mobility.

Luckily the train pulls up right next to my disabled grandpa’s house. And it drops him off right at the doctor’s office. No walking required!

Oh wait.
