The subject at hand is a survey site scam.

This is not targeted at corporations, it's aimed at end users.

End users' residential connections' use agreements generally don't permit resale.

Even when you can legally install a proxy and allow others to utilize your internet connection, the fact that you're doing it for profit changes the nature of the act. If you're getting a carrier grade connection with a service agreement beyond "you may pray to the telco* gods for assistance" then your agreement may or may not permit you to resell.

lolol etc.

but it is absolutely the best thing I've ever had in my car

If you're happy with the functionality, I'm not mad about that. I'm not even mad about Leon lying about providing actual full self driving, or how long it would take to provide it, or declaring victory without providing it. I'm mad at him for a lot of other things like hundreds of thousands of deaths from killing USAID funding, stealing everyone's FTI without even having to watch the UNAX video...

Comment What is concentration risk? (Score 1) 14

Concentration risk in lending is the potential for severe financial loss when a lender’s loan portfolio is overexposed to a single borrower, industry, geographic region, or loan product. Because the assets move or fail together due to a lack of diversification, a negative event in that specific segment can trigger widespread defaults. For example, if a large share of the portfolio is tied to a single business sector, such as commercial real estate, technology, or energy, an industry downturn or new regulation can hurt all borrowers in that group at once.

You mean software features - which now exist?

Explain how you'd fake a 3000lb+ car made of non-magnetic metals being able to suspend itself upside down, do an in-place flip, a barrel roll, and an inverted barrel roll, and have a 0.8s quarter mile while being co-witnessed by no fewer than 4 cameras (including multiple fly-over drones) at a live event.

I saw the video before anyone else on the internet told me what it was going to do. Total surprise.

I was totally amazed.

I am quite curious about the active downforce fan system because those have appeared in real race cars and real road cars - although not to the extent seen in the Tesla demo.

You always hear that an F1 car creates enough downforce (at speed) to drive upside down on a ceiling. Last night we saw a car actually drive up a wall and then drive upside down. Not theory - real car, real result.

Of course its completely ridiculous to have thrusters on the car. That's ok. It's ok to make ridiculous things. I was more shocked by the reveal last night than by the chopstick rocket catch. (I knew that was coming.. i had no idea what they were planning with the Roadster)

It's ok to do something for no other reason than "it would be cool".

I am disappointed that so many people here are shitting on it because its Elon. When someone - anyone - demos a car with fucking thrusters that jumps/flies/whatever, it is cool, and you're allowed to like it.

You're allowed to be amazed by things. You're allowed to experience happiness in life.

This is nerd stuff. This is science and engineering turning "magic" into real things.
