I only wear wool socks and work from home. I can easily go 4-5 days if I’ve only gone outside to get groceries or whatnot.

If I’m going out to socialize though and it’s been more than 2 days I’ll get a fresh pair.

Wool socks? Camping on a beach i would have just washed them in the water at least once and gone sockless while they dried.

I’m not excusing his behavior. He’s not an asshole because he’s on the spectrum.

But running a social media company is probably something he will struggle with more than other companies because of it.

He can’t run twitter like he runs SpaceX or Tesla. It’s a whole different beast.

One of the big problems with something like this isn’t transparency, it’s that this will potentially wipe out so many potential apps.

Google has done this a bunch in the name of privacy and it 100% kills apps.

Hopefully they aren’t as strict as Google on some of those APIs or the unintended consequences could be substantial

That would be a hilarious meme.

Some before aspirational quote, pic of him smoking reefer, him doing something monumentally stupid since, and then something like ‘not even once’

Is he?

With his being on the spectrum social things are not his strong point, and this is all social.

I think he probably thinks he’s fighting a good fight, doesn’t see how big a fucking hypocrite he is, and is running it into the ground at warp speed because of it.

Edit: or he’s turning it into a right wing cess pool intentionally, but he doesn’t think he’s running it into the ground. Either way, I don’t think he wants to be running it into the ground.

You also gotta remember things also get more complicated when it gets cold. Suddenly that 40mile commute can become problematic in sub zero temperatures. Maybe you could make the trip but now you can’t do those after work errands or whatnot.

A commuter car with 125-150mile range might be more practical as a 2nd car.

Unless it’s an LFP car you’re not supposed to consistently use top/bottom 10-20% either reducing range if you dont want to shortern its lifespan, but LFP perform worse in cold weather so again, 100miles probably isn’t enough for that use case for a substantial amount of people in colder climates

Edit: I checked a random website and it had 25 US states with a average winter temperature below freezing temperatures. Not considering other places like Canada or Europe either.

Okay so my comment was about the EPA stuff and SK stuff NOT tesla fudging the numbers.

Is that hard to understand?

The article also talks about that.

You have to plan your trips like that?

The tesla navigation systems just plans it for you and takes that all into account. Unless you’re excessively speeding it’s almost always within 1% or 2% (over or under), and that takes elevation, speed limits above optimal efficiency, heating, cooling, I believe even ambient temperature into account.

I’ve never ever had to think about it.

Now, if I didn’t use the trip planner and relied solely on the displayed KM I’d never trust it, because there are so many variables to take into account. The car can legitimately get the EPA rated range in the EPA test conditions, but those conditions aren’t every day driving conditions. I would never trust if it says 400km that I’d be able to do 390km trip. There’s too many things to consider and the software does it all automatically.

The whole making more exaggerated numbers at full vs 50% is sketchy if true, but people really should be using % vs km. Km are always going to have problems. And people should be using the trip planner for any lengthy trip.

Some people would probably complain if they had a 100mile trip up a mountain pass and it took more than 100 miles of energy.

At least when you plan a route the % indicator takes that into account vs a plain estimation.

My best trip once going up a pass was around 70km of the reading staying within 1 or 2km the entire time when going down it.

But ya there’s so many variables. But if they were fudging calculations that’d be bad.

That’s only what part of the article is about.

My comment was very specific

This is really the EPAs fault for real world numbers.

Real world driving conditions especially on highways where people want to get the stated range have higher speeds than what the test tests.

If you want the EPA number to match real world speeds make the test run at real world speeds.

If you want the population to know EVs run worse in the cold, have a cold weather test be part of the test and require reporting the number. It’d showcase how good the cars heating system is and help people make a decision.

The EPA probably wanted auto manufacturers to be able to report higher numbers and incorrectly chose a lower speed. WLPT numbers are even worse for being wrong (but if I recall, the wrong is more consistent)

Somewhere in the 60-70k range is probably where it’ll land ya.

That’d be 15-25k more after inflation (instead of 20-30k more)

Edit: at least it should fully qualify for the 7500 federal rebate since it uses the 4680 cells. Was reading the m3 might lose the full rebate in 2024

It wouldn’t be reasonable to expect the 40k price after the crazy inflation we’ve seen

What I want to know is how much higher is it after taking inflation into account…

Edit: looked it up. 40k in 2019 is 47.7k today. 40k in 2021 the planned release day/price, in 2023 is 45k. The 45k number probably makes the most sense. That’s assuming the random site I used is anywhere near correct.

Instead of 1 James Webb that was super complicated to build in part due to payload size and dimension constraints, we’re going to end up with thousands of them, even further into space,

That thing cost 10b to make because it had to work in part also due to launch costs and risks. Launch costs go down, risks go down, cheaper and more satellites go up.

Even better than that, starship is HUGE with its 9m diameter.

STARSHIP will be the telescope and an array or starship could be linked together. No need to design on board fuel or other navigation systems, it’s already there. Without any fancy folding mirror mechanisms well be able to do 9meter mirrors. Webb is only 6.5m

A single starship is going to be in the 10s of millions to make. Dirt cheap.

I don’t think starship is going to be priced like that. They’ve long been saying it’s going to dramatically reduce cost to orbit for everyone.

Will they make it more expensive than what it would cost them for a starlink v2 launch, sure, but it’s not gonna be priced per kg just below the next cheapest non resuseable rocket either.

That’s a great TIL

Extra traffic that their infrastructure can’t handle since he fired all the people that knew how.

Like reddit, he also probably sees it as losing millions of dollars for data he wants to be paid for.

So losing money from degraded services and losing potential money from data being taken.

What’s worth more - the loss of ad revenue from walled login, or the loss of potential revenue selling the data

I wonder what that’s going to do to ad revenue as millions of non account lurkers can’t see content anymore and won’t make an account

I like how George Hotz briefly worked at Twitter and got rid of the login after scrolling a bit blocker, and now you can’t see anything.
