"per vehicle" losses are a weird metric. Each truck does not cost them 130k more than they are selling it for. That number is just the total revenue/vehicles sold. That "per vehicle" loss includes things like buying expensive machinery, buildings and various other investments in their infastructure.

For decades Amazon also did not turn a profit, but it was because they poured that money back into their infastructure instead. It would have been a super weird metric to say that amazon lost $.000000003/widget sold.

Once those investments are done, their numbers will flip drastically, as long as they dont overextend and they survive as a company. The recent 5 billion investment from Volkswagen should help there.

Nuanced? That sounds like your HR/Management is just bad at their jobs. Why post an advert for a job that you won't fill because it's the wrong job, then actually interview people? That's a huge waste of everyone's time.

The first step when a role is open is to have the team review and update the job for the necessary skillset. Not doing that is a buisness process failure.

They arent dead, but they are in the millions of users, not hundreds of millions.

That is enough to sustain a social media platform, but none of them fully have the network effect going for them yet.

With federation, hopefully they won't need it. That can be the network effect once interoperability is really here. Then everyone can still communicate, but not be beholden to any one service/owner/etc.

Planet crafter is supposed to have solid multiplayer if you like satisfactory style build/resource games.

Why talk about the structure of our government? Education, general interest, activism?

Why are you wasting time talking about wasting time if it's just wasting time?

A fine take on this classic:

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.

Im just messing around man. This does sound like a good case for a basic LLM.

Good point. A really complicated switch statement then.

That wouldn't even need AI. Thats just a fancy switch statement with a pleasant voice.

I'm talking about our broken government system, not what's helpful. The fact that a constitutional convention is impossible is exactly the problem. Its why many parts of our democracy are broken, and will likely ultimately be the downfall of our nation.

Thr founders called the Constitution a living document, with Jefferson specifically talking about how it must change to as American changes. To do that, they put in a wildly difficult mechanism that is nearly impossible to actually invoke, and added lifetime arbiter roles that can opt to unwind any law not written in pen and ink on that same paper.

Those are critical fuckups if you intend to have a living document and a shapeable democracy.

Our election cycle cant be curtailed or shifted because our constitution can't realistically be amended to match the saner policies in other countries. When our constitution is so antiqued that that "money is speech" becomes the law of the land, there is a core problem with the founding document itself.

How it that not related to our election cycle?
