Here's what Claude has to say about electrek.co:

Tesla Headlines Sentiment Analysis - Electrek.co Bottom Line: Strongly Negative Sentiment Based on analysis of Tesla headlines and articles from Electrek over the past few months, the sentiment is overwhelmingly negative (approximately 85% negative, 10% neutral, 5% positive). The coverage reveals a company in decline across multiple fronts.

Just got a 2014 500e for $5k - 50k miles. What a great city car! We also have Model Y, and so the Fiat's 2 pedal driving, lack of good regen, multi-step lock/unlock process can all be forgiven for the price.

Tether had a big chunk of funds seized by a government/bank making them less then whole. They did the needful to get past that and now a distant memory. Scam allegations are made by old curmudgeons who drank the bitfinexed cool-aid.

define scam.

Ad hominem is as ad hominem does.

Counterpoint. Tether has grown into one of the most profitable, well funded companies on the planet. Their past growing pains are irrelevant to where they are now. They make $30-50 million per day with just 200 employees. They are the 18th largest holder of US debt, ahead of UAE and Germany. Last year, Tether achieved $14 billion in profit, surpassing Pfizer, Tesla, and BlackRock. https://www.bitget.com/news/detail/12560604740855

Much to the chagrin of Circle and USDC

Said another way, much lower legacy technical debt than trying to be a bank.

Ads are now my pet peeve. I will not tolerate them. Let me pay for content I want.

As a product manager who has been paying an overseas developer $4,000 a month, I'm getting quite close to replace him with a $100 a month Claude Max subscription. These high subscription costs are nothing compared to the low level employees that will be replaced or supplemented.

The story of minor Chinese celebrity Wang Xing who was abducted in Thailand forced into a scam call center in Myanmar as really shined a light on this scam call center issue. As a result of these scams in Thailand, the Telecoms and Banks have added restrictive measures like limiting person to person transfer amounts and KYC on all SIM cards. We can't have nice things.

On iPhone 15 you can set the "Action Button" to ChatGTP voice, which is a nice proxy for what Siri could be.

Am paying 0.044 per kWh with super off peak timed home charging 11pm - 7am in Washington.

> With two oil changes needed per year at an average cost of $100 each, the additional expense shortens the break-even period by approximately 0.5 years.

Add 10 mins there and back, the booking and you're looking at 1hr for this event. If it costs $100 and you consider your time, gas too and from... You could easily bump this cost to $200, or double in real costs.

Maybe because it’s failing?

Paper bills, or “fiat” money, also have no intrinsic value.

Using paper money has already defined you as a participant in accepting the societal construct of money.

As such, Bitcoin having no intrinsic is not novel or consequential and has no bearing on its utility.

It's not hard to imagine your tokenized income stream and tokenized assets, algorithmically qualifying you for a defi loan with out need for some guy at a physical desk in a physical building. Hence it's also not hard to imagine the economic value you attribute to banks, as value eventually accruing to crypto.

Yes. But esim.me high prices, clunky kyc and other issues left plenty of room for competitors.

If the eSIM is registered, you can also reissue a Thai eSIM online.

Routing data back to the home network is how it can get counted and charged for.

The host roaming network is just selling in bulk, but does not own the customer.

As China bans TikTok too, this move shouts “We don’t want this app either.”

I wish Brave had succeeded with their YouTube Premium model of web browsing. Let me pay one single provider to remove all web ads and paywalls, and that provider pays creators. Still a great mobile browser.

> Even with these sobering financial details, it’s clear that the agency’s decision to balance the books by cutting seasonal jobs came as a shock to many employees.

Time for this to stop being a shock. The country needs some harsh belt tightening and stories like these will become commonplace if real reform is practiced.

I would pay for Chrome Premium, as I pay for Youtube Premium. Prefer the Brave/YT Premium model where creators and sites get some share of your payment. The Kagi model, unless I missed it, seems to be "just pay us" with nothing going to creators.
