klwejchkwejrhc··on Tesla’s Autopilot found partly to blame for 2018 crash on the 405
The thing is, it almost certainly still won't exist later.

>why should I be confident to pay $6k for “Full Self Driving”

No one should be. Creating a fully self-driving car probably requires creating artificial general intelligence. It will almost certainly not exist for many more decades, if it ever exists. Elon Musk is a con artist.

klwejchkwejrhc··on Economics of Electric Vehicles Mean Oil's Days as a Transport Fuel Are Numbered
>renewable electricity has a short-run marginal cost of zero, is cleaner environmentally, much easier to transport and could readily replace up to 40% of global oil demand

Hmm, not sure about that "much easier to transport" part. A cube 3 meters on a side can contain enough gasoline to power the average car for its entire lifespan. The gasoline is a liquid, it is relatively easy to move it between containers. Any technology that is capable of moving macroscopic amounts of matter is capable of moving gasoline. You can haul it on a bicycle, you can haul it on an airplane. To transport electricity you need to make sure there are power lines and batteries arranged in a certain way.

klwejchkwejrhc··on No-deal Brexit opponents defeat government
The text of the 2016 referendum was "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?" No mention of deal or no-deal.

Logically speaking, every single person who voted to leave in 2016 either voted for no-deal as a possible mode of leaving or misunderstood the text of the referendum.

Tony Blair probably didn't help by joining the US' lies-based Iraq war.
