    hahahaha. That's a good one.. Unless you mean the car is depreciated and, in that case, oh heck yeah. Especially with the price drop on new Teslas.

    yes I meant you can’t say the FSD is worth 15k still because it can’t be sold separately. So it will go to zero with the car

    Ehhhh. It's another feature of the car, so it isn't $0, but it is definitely not $15k.

    Hello, not sure if this is the right place to ask but anyone happen to know if BigSoccer platform has any plans to integrate with Mastodon like it does with Twitter (i.e. twitter links automatically get replaced with the actual tweet)?

    Thanks!

    That is also bad driving, people (myself included) do not keep the required distance from each other. We should be far apart from each car to be able to slam on the breaks with enough room to not hit the car in front.

    I would go to the Customer Service forum to ask that, but I suspect the answer to that question is "No". BS isn't exactly investing in upgrades right now.

    It took them about 5 years to fix the homepage and the trending threads sidebar

    A big, beautiful home page. The type of home page that would make grown men cry.

    “A strong man came up to me, tough kind of a guy, and said: ‘I want to thank you for saving our BigSoccer webpage.’ And he had tears coming down his eyes,” xxx said. “This wasn’t just a statement, because he had tears coming down. Unless he was a real wise guy. But he had tears coming down his eyes.”

    Unless I was trained incorrectly (quite possible), or the FSD policy changed in the last 1 1/2 years(even more possible since they can't sit still for more than 2 days), it does not transfer as it is tied to the car, not the account.

    The best bet is just to do a month to month subscription IMO.

    Does this show the rapid advancement of AI or the uselessness of an MBA? :p

    New research conducted by a professor at University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School found that the artificial intelligence-driven chatbot GPT-3 was able to pass the final exam for the school's Master of Business Administration (MBA) program.

    Professor Christian Terwiesch, who authored the research paper "Would Chat GPT3 Get a Wharton MBA? A Prediction Based on Its Performance in the Operations Management Course," said that the bot scored between a B- and B on the exam.

    In other AI news, a US Marine platoon was tasked with reaching a robot designed to target humans (and presumably one day have a gun with which to do something to the humans targeted). One group of Marines went old school and covered themselves in twigs and held branches. A pair went towards the AI by somersaulting. Others went Metal Gear and hid inside large cardboard boxes, laughing the entire time. Everyone reached the robot.

    Ahhh, the ol' tried & true "fears of a recession" is not just a tech industry thing:

    In the past 12 months, those three companies alone have laid off more than 60,000 employees.

    The job cuts occur as revenue growth is slowing industry-wide and uncertainly lies on the economic horizon. With fears of a recession still prominent, many tech CEOs are pre-emptively bracing for a possible downturn, after rushing to fill positions during the shelter-in-place stage of the pandemic.

    1) Republicans complain about inflation, say it occurred because of Democratic spending.

    2) The Federal Reserve raises interest rates to halt inflation.

    3) Inflation halts, thereby proving that Republicans were, if not entirely wrong when saying that Democratic spending caused inflation, at least mostly wrong. Inflation wasn't happening because of long-term fiscal issues; it was short-term overheating that could be addressed via the customary monetary solution.

    4) Republicans complain about recession, caused by the interest-rate rises that halted the inflation they complained about.

    5) All the while, Republicans have offered absolutely no inflation-fighting advice of their own.

    Amirite?

    I think very few actually use it. So I suspected that it is not really updated.

    Donald Trump has a Wharton MBA, which tells me everything I need to know about a Wharton MBA.

    Don't forget the Republican tax cuts that increase the deficit.
