He was a cool guy. He used to come to my workplace more than a decade ago when I worked there and was always pleasant. He would always talk to a few of us (mostly my boss) and joke around. Sad to see him go

No, its not even close. They claim the whole "F" group is the best selling, not the F150 alone.

With that said, the Tesla Y and 3 are the best selling cars in the US.

Please check your 5 year old info before posting.

He'll do about 30% or less. Maybe they'll say jails are full again and release most the inmates like they did during covid.
Win? Embarrassing himself and not being professional and not being able to keep his cool is not a win, its embarrassment which he has always been.

He lost a big deal because he wanted to be hostile and argumentative and against the truth (when Elon told him people will show whos right/wrong, he said that doesn't mean anything even if there is a study attached)

> I think we've found Naughty Old Mr Car's HN account.

Don't have a valid reply so you have to say something stupid?

Apparently you don't know what professionalism is and an interviewer should never raise his/her voice.

It seems like you already made up your mind that Elon is bad and Don is good based on how you're talking.

Even Elon said Don wasn't being cordial during the interview. That's how bad it was.

He is a DISHONEST interviewer. Saying evidence doesn't exist when Elon told him to go look on X. Don acted like the evidence they posted is nonsense when he hadn't even seen it. He is one of the most dishonest reporters.

He was just being a complete jerk during the whole interview. You can really see that Don has a big chip on his shoulder and he's not professional at all. It was a deposition, not an interview. Its ok to ask tough questions, but its not okay to be a complete jerk like he has always been.

Just look at what Donny tries to do when he talks about some of Musk's late night posts on X. Asking him if he's on drugs and trying to make it seem like he's using a street drug ketamine even though he has a prescription for it and its started to be used more and more for depression. This is purely dishonest when Don knows doctors prescribe ketamine and to people and its not just a street drug.

Don was also being a jerk about the hate speech that is actually on all platforms. Musk actually is doing something about it, but Don makes it seem the opposite. How come he doesn't talk to Zuckerberg the same way when his platform also has hate speech and more drugs that silk road had.

Don said he doesn't believe Elon's information which is simple math that Elon has done before the interview which once again Don is lying because he didn't do the calculation himself and he has ZERO evidence to dispute it. Elon is right here and Don is once again lying.

Saying Elon said stuff he didn't several times. Don applies a different standard to X and that's being dishonest. Saying X promoted hate speech over and over which was another lie. Don LIES about the rules on X and the content policy. Don lies about not wanting censorship. Saying he believes in free speech as much as Musk? Another lie.

Don said over and over that the standards haven't been lowered for DEI and that's a lie. He says there is no evidence of lowered standards and Elon actually gave him an example and Don continuously lies and said there is no evidence. Don also raised his voice. Then he goes on to say "Don't you think its your responsibility to make sure what you post is right?" when Don is posting this and he's lying and there is evidence against what he's saying and he doesn't even want to see it because he's a liar.

Don is laughing and acting like a fool when he actually knows what Elon is saying about lowering the standards for doctors will cause more people to die.

Don lies and says comments with evidence don't mean anything even though he knows people will cite studies. But Don is trying to push the imagine that his lie is the truth and evidence and studies that go against his lies aren't true. What a scumbag. He's 100% anti truth and he just wants to lie.

There's tons of others

You're just wrong and saying complete lies because you are full of hate for Musk because he's no longer a democrat.

He has other democrats with their own show on it and there are no issues. Don was just being an entitled dick like he's always been. That's why everyone at CNN hated him too.

Get educated and stop lying

You're just saying this nonsense because you hate Musk because he's not a democrat anymore. That's where all the hate you have stems from.

With that said, he was given the same opportunity to other democratic leaders and they are on the platform with no issues.

Don was being a complete jerk and wasn't being genuine. Don has always been disingenuous and full of it. Plus everyone thats worked with him at CNN hated him

Don was an asshole in the interview and is an idiot. Don also wasn't being genuine. He deserves what he got, hes a loser anyways and no one wants to hear his bullshit lies like hes lying about now
This is the most foolish and most uneducated response I've read. You're saying nonsense.

Just because we don't have the weapon that causes the issue the issue doesn't exist and is all in their heads?

Get educated about what you're talking about. Watch some interviews of people that have it.

We even know the exact sound the weapon makes.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

You should be taking a stance. Screw them and trying to rip us off even more. This kind of shit should be illegal. No mergers no matter what unless the other company is closing its doors. Probably every single merger has screwed Americans
Re:California Dem call for $50 minimum wage on Wednesday February 14, 2024 @10:40PM (#39378834)
Stupid people don't understand it will make all costs rise and we won't end up in the same situation, but a worse situation because there will be higher markups as well (just about every business did this after the covid shutdowns)

People are stupid and I'm convinced these people want to destroy the country. When you raise wages, things like automation will happen much faster and people will have to do more work and there will be a ton of layoffs

Anyone do IT for MRI/Catscan companies?

I was talking to someone that had a friend that worked for a medical company and made six figures setting up or maintaining/troubleshooting MRI/Catscan machines.Anyone know where I could look to find a job like that?

> The tight integration of hardware and software is not only better for the products and consumer experience, it also means higher margins for the company

And yet they feel like they need to price gouge and charge a shit load of money and on top of it do basically the absolute minimum software testing and constantly with almost every update release a TON of new bugs they should have gotten rid of during testing.

You have too much respect for a company that USED to make great products and takes advantage of customers. Apple and Timmy are probably laughing at you.

> The data can say whatever you want it to say depending on which data you look at and how you interpret it and what bits you include and leave out.

This is what most people don't understand. Like 99% of the population. There is plenty of data that is fake as well when they want to brainwash people and there has never been more brainwashing in the US than there is today.

Re:China Focuses Espionage on U.S. Colleges and Universities on Wednesday November 29, 2023 @12:01PM (#38461946)
Stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. You don't understand R&D costs tons of money that us taxpayers are paying. Why should be give that info to our enemies? Or even our friends? We shouldn't, it stupid thinking. They would never share with us even if we did with them.

That's now how the real world works, just in your imaginary "love and peace" world you made up in your head.

R&D is exactly why some countries are more successful and why some aren't. Why some sell things like technology and some are poor as shit.

Just wait a year when tons of people start to lose their property. They are already losing their cars and cards are maxed out.

People are worse off now, it just doesn't appear that way yet.

> I've never understood why restaurants themselves don't charge for prime-time reservations. If scalpers can do it, the restaurant can too.

Because they are already raping you on the price of their food and dont give them any more ideas.

You don't know what you're saying. That's because of virtual memory and its much slower. Apple's claim is bullshit and they lie.

Every modern OS compresses memory, not just the MacOS. And no 8GB is not equivalent to 16GB on a Mac. Apple says it so foolish people believe it, but its not true. Sure unified has advantages, but they're saying BS.

That's not the case for many brands. My GFs Jeep has transmission problems and a water pump failure at 17k miles. Its actually one of the worst car brands according to JD Power. She drives gently compared to me. BMWs don't make much sense to keep past 100K miles, they just cost way too much to maintain.

The only car brands you're talking about is Japanese brands and maybe the Korean ones.

This is completely wrong. Also, being "gone" which he actually isn't and is going to take I believe 30 days is not an excuse to not charge him for criminal acts.

He deserves to be in jail for a long time. He's done some seriously illegal things and destroyed lives separate from killing people in nursing homes and tons of other horrible things. He abused his power and so did his criminal father.

If he was a republican, he would be charged 100%

Re:Did the New York Times stifle lab leak debate? on Wednesday August 04, 2021 @03:50PM (#28065422)
Absolutely, just about every liberal media source, scientific establishment, and politician did with no proof or data. That's exactly what they always do.

They pretend to be open, they pretend to believe in science, but they just lie and push an agenda and that's all they do.

I'm very pro vaccine, so pro vaccine I've gotten vaccines most people have never heard of, but the reality is, EVERY medical professional that claims the vaccine is safe is a liar and the doctors are violating their Hippocratic oath. We don't know the long term side effects, so they should instead say "From the data we have, short term side effects are minimal, BUT we have no idea what the long term side effects are." That would be the honest answer. They should still recommend it for most people, but they should be honest. They like many people are brainwashed by the drug companies and act like they are on their payroll.

Just shows how these professors don't know as much as they think they do. Many act like they are so smart and above everyone else. Good to see one go down like this
Funny thing is that you're completely okay with the lies the left pushes all day long. You don't want two sides
You completely missed the point. COMPLETELY. The reality is that tons of studies are faked daily and "facts" change based on politics. Also big companies and powerful people have their info changed. Like Kamala Harris who had all the negative shit she did removed before the election. For example locking innocent people in jail and not letting them go when she knew they were innocent.

Good, let the dumb suckers pay. It makes sense for a small amount of people.

The same broke dumb people crying about not having money and being poor are often that ones that have it.

The childish thinking is about thinking if a few people don't buy the company will stop doing what they are doing.
Re:BMW's Apple CarPlay annual fee is next-level gouging on Saturday January 20, 2018 @08:38PM (#16196426)
You're telling Apple that its okay to rip users off like yourself. No reason why that phone should cost that much.
