1. Chinese government is also pressuring Tesla because Elon has started work on militarizing space with StarShield and other preparation for Strategic Defense Initiative style capabilities in Low Earth Orbit.

2. Elon hasn't gotten much of the money for Strategic Defense Initiative contracts, nor is the entire program progressing much under Biden. He feels the Trump/Santis party, which embraced the project, needs to somehow continue by being boosted on Twitter.

Tesla PE is still high compared to other automakers. So based on growth expectations, it should be between 30-90.
"Shutting down factories" is the not the same as slowing production. Tesla is expanding their production since they are wildly profitable.
Well that's every company. So now every website is annoying.

Google runs Disaster Recovery Training annually (DiRT) where security teams are tasked with simulating these “black swan” events. Seems like this practice needs to expand to more industries.
Nothing can stop that. The goal is lowering the victims / profit. How to do that, that's the question. It comes to no surprise to me poor countries (with bribed police force) try to scam rich ones.
This is the best advice I've seen on this website in years!
no, not with that mindset. security is about creating obstacles. obstacles create friction and traces, even when they fail.

Once again I feel like the only one who remembers what it was actually like in the early pandemic. People were already hoarding. That included masks, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, and stuff that wasn't even related to COVID prevention like toilet paper.

I don't understand how you can say hoarding might not have been any worse if the CDC revealed how important masks were to safety unless you believe that no one was listening to the CDC anyway which invalidates your entire point.
When talking about expected magnitudes of loss due to fraud, it's much more useful to talk in terms of relative (as opposed to absolute) magnitudes.

Self driving cars don’t need assistance from the environment.

We already have self driving cars in public streets that work. Arguing about the possibilities with self driving is like arguing about how good chess computers might some day become, it’s already been done.

Hitting the right price point, actually mapping the environment at scale, working out reliability, and bugs etc is real engineering. We are in that stage right between the prototype works and it’s ready for production which always takes longer than people expect but can it be done is no longer in question.

"Weather" covers a lot of sins. You will find that a lot of what gets called (and allowed to be called by the FAA/DOT) "weather" is, as you point out, not really weather, but operational choices.

When a storm hits a city, yes, the first plane that had to wait to take off from the airport can be said to be delayed by weather. Every other plane waiting in line behind that plane, delayed, or because they weren't able to get to that city from other destinations because they run an overly tight schedule, is due to operational choices by the airline.

Some airlines have hubs in places where snow is handled ok. Some don't. Others have them in places that have frequent thunderstorms. Some airlines operate in Hawaii and never have delays.

JetBlue used to fly A321s across the country and in the winter, strong winds would force them to stop in Kansas to refuel. That's "weather" but also the airline's choices about how to operate.

I don't think you'll ever find the FAA/DOT is going to "root cause" what weather means to airlines to be able to blame them for operational / strategic choices. It would be like the police writing up your car accident report and saying that the reason you had a fender bender was because you chose to live so far away from work.

Thus, choose your airlines and roll your dice accordingly for when you want to get where you want to be.
This is not entirely true. Lots of airlines have had events where they need to ground all takeoffs for a couple hours while they put their systems back together. People don't die when airline operations go down so artificial delays are used occasionally. Lots of air travelers have experienced them.

What would happen if the American companies just started playing hardball? For example, what if they required that contracts with foreign telephone companies had a fee based on scams detected as coming through and just refused to work with any company that wouldn't agree to those terms? I have no idea if that exact idea would make sense or even be possible to implement, but my thinking is that in many cases the American companies might be able to afford to lose the business more than their international partners, so playing a game of chicken might be worthwhile. In other words, just because American telecoms might not be able to do anything from a technical perspective doesn't mean that they don't have social or business pressure they could apply if they actually wanted to solve the problem. Ultimately, it seems like the American companies haven't done anything because they don't really have any business incentive to; as long as they aren't held culpable legally and don't lose sales due to the PR hit, trying to use their influence to solve this is purely a risk from a financial perspective.

I don't at all subscribe to the Friedman perspective that businesses are ethically obligated to maximize profits at the expense of literally everything else, but I do think that it's a reasonable description of the way businesses trend toward acting; an entity structurally designed for making profits will inevitably end up acting in a way that only considers that measure unless the incentives are changed, which is precisely why we _do_ need to regulate things to curtail business behavior that's a net bad for society as a whole by making it unprofitable, whether that's through direct fines or making business liable either civilly or criminally for their actions.

They’re state sponsored at the local level. Local law enforcement is underpaid and gets huge bribes from these call centers. At the national level India doesn’t have the law enforcement resources to stop it with local law enforcement working against them. It’s a mess.
To me, "problems connecting flight crews to their schedules" does not clearly say it's a software issue, but maybe implies it. But you have other information that it is?

Using SIM boxes is already standard practice, sketchy VOIP providers and SMS spammers have been doing for years because it is cheaper to do this than to pay for legitimate routing.

Just put something along the lines of "sim box grey route" into Google and you'll find loads of relevant industry materials.

Besides, you're drastically moving the goalposts here. We went from "could put a stop to this" to minor obstacles.
To be honest, if you site is static-generated (where "generated" includes "typed by you in text editor") this approach hasn't any drawbacks to more complex schemes.

No, the claims made in the video you linked to do not show that, as you put it, "in this case, 'common sense' and 'blind faith' mean the same thing." Nor does your reply to mcphage.
These days I’d recommend just not answering any unrecognized number. If they’re waiting for a call for some specific reason, they can look at voicemail transcripts to see if it’s the call they were expecting and call back. Otherwise it’s best to ignore any incoming calls. Anything truly important won’t use a phone call as the only contact method.
> On your second point however I must disagree

No, I agree with you in general, and from an ideological point of view, but from a practical standpoint, you have to choose your battles - I think it's usually worth the effort, even when it seems tedious, to go out of your way to not offend people you're working with in order to reach your goals.

Plus, once you've offended someone, you have very little chance of influencing them. Once you've established mutual respect, people won't take things you say in bad faith, so discussing controversial topics can actually be a discussion instead of a heated argument.
> If someone is living in suffering, it is better to give them the option to end their life if they want, than to insist that they keep on living

Problem with statements like that is defining "suffering" such that inappropriate situation like a depressed teenager isn't allowed to happen.
Canada’s welfare state is pretty good though. Healthcare is paid for. I would be interested to know what percentage of people using this maid program are doing so specifically for economic reasons.
To be fair that's one of the good(?) parts of Twitter.

I'm not sure if he's personally sanctioned but the former president of Iran also strangely likes trolling American politicians and commenting on sports. Sometimes gets replies from their social media interns.

I'm a Canadian. I want every single person in this country to get the best care possible right up until they die. If they want to keep the care coming, then I expect us to keep providing it.

God help me if you decide that because you are giving me care, you also get to decide when and how I die. I want to decide that and if I choose to go at an appointed time with my family nearby and in a comfortable setting, then I will go a happy man.

Will everyone make a decision I agree with? Are many lives worth living even when they don't feel like it? Will families and loved ones not want to let go? Are some people not mentally well enough at the time to make such a decision? Yes to all. It's complicated and difficult, but it is only more complicated and more difficult when the state tries to create rules about what is morally right and not.

As bad as it is to say, I mostly do the same.

You'd think India would be on top of this and come down hard. If folks just start associating Indian accents as 'scammers', businesses abroad that currently rely on outsourcing support and other services are going to eventually have to pull out. You can't run effective customer support if the customer assumes you're a bad actor just because of your voice and hangs up.
I fully agree that these scammers must be prosecuted.

Just a couple of things:

1. I don't think there's any official conspiracy by Indians in general to screw over Americans.

So kindly don't put out poorly thought out responses calling for blanket ban on Indians or things like that.

2. Indians themselves get scammed by these scammers.

That's all. Carry on.
Pentagon Fails Fifth Audit in a Row as Congress Increases Budget [video]
Just FYI, “A software” is grammatically incorrect, as Software is a mass noun, not a collective noun. “Softwares” isn’t a word, for instance. (Similar to “money”, in that you wouldn’t say “I have a money, you have a money, and together we have two monies”, you just say “I have money, you have money, together we have more money”.)
That's literally the option though if you've managed to convince someone to use a password manager.

The title is incorrect. If you read the original article it is clear that $10B is all US online fraud together, not Indian call centers as Deccandherald.com writes

> The trend is persisting, with total money lost by Americans in all internet/call centre-related frauds in the last 11 months having been estimated at $10.2 billion, an increase of 47% against last year’s $6.9 billion.
The government coming to my home and demanding I hand over my private property that the government tells me is vital for protecting my health during a pandemic is pretty dystopian. If you believe that the government lying to us is dystopian, then we have always lived in a dystopia.
It's not really a software "crash", it's more like, they know their process can't handle more than a certain amount of disruption before falling apart. And so if you can see that due to weather, etc. a lot of disruption is likely to happen, you can predict there's going to be a problem, and also predict that you simply don't have the staffing and systems in place to do anything about it.
I mean one could argue that most humans are stupid so yeah the bar might be lower than we think.
I used hjkl scrolling for about a decade with Dvorak. In fact, I learned to use Vim for the first time on Dvorak. The muscle memory makes it work just fine, even when not all the keys are on the home row.
> This thread makes me wonder if Americans have such info (whether a call is a likely spam) automatically pop up when receiving text or calls.

We do have that, but it probably depends on the carrier and the type of phone you have. On my iPhone with Verizon, there's a setting to "Silence Junk Callers", in which "calls identified by Verizon as potential spam or fraud will be silenced, automatically sent to voicemail, and displayed on the Recents list."

It's not perfect, though, and I still get a ton of spam calls. As a rule I almost never answer the phone if I don't recognize the number.
As is often commen, wikipedia is plain wrong. I've never heard this opening narration and I saw it on opening day
Sounds the the perfect setup for an AirTag commercial.
There are times that I, a fighter of depression, and severely exhausted person think: if I lose my jobs (firefighter and software engineer) and things with my alcoholic wife trend toward my being unable to provide that which is required of me, as a man: financial security and a home… I’d just go. Just like the first episode of Futurama.

But when I think those things, I realize that’s a perm solution to “short” term albeit painful problems. I can do this. I got this.

Then when it gets real bad, I remember Pascal’s wager and if there really are people I can “see” again - like my first wife who died at 41, when I was 31… that little thought experiment/bit of faith saves me.

It makes me sad, truly, to see that a bulk of the stories are related to finance. Finance for services that a caring nation would/should provide.

Sigh.
I think Americans feel differently about a domestic issue of Americans stealing from Americans than they do about a developing country scamming elderly Americans out of their social security income.
Did you read the blog post? Clearly vim does work.

I’d like to see a breakdown for the rationale of people using these programs. The absolute and relative numbers are irrelevant (IMO) if they are largely occurring for the “right reasons” like avoiding increasing pain or similar.

Healthcare can encompass a lot of things. The NHS is supposedly good on paper but stereotypically it doesn't cover dental.

Similarly, I meant welfare. I think it goes much beyond just healthcare. Unemployment insurance, state help to access the job market, disability help, etc.
Could be another dotcom era Cisco, which still hasn’t regained it’s peak [1]. Cisco had the biggest market cap in the world for a while. Tesla could be an even worse investment if it ends up being just an overvalued car company. It also has the biggest ‘bus factor’ of any company in SP500 ie. if Musk quits/falls ill the price will likely dive severely.

1/1/2000 sounds like a default value when it lost the data or never had it. Even more obvious would be if it threw you to 1/1/70.
Interesting, however the emergence of new strains would happen anyway and is not tied to the validity of this hypothesis (thus you could not e.g. use the appearance of new strains as a confirmation of it).

But did you mean "strains that are not using the spike protein anymore to enter cells"?

In which case, why do you think it would be harder to tackle than the original virus?

In my opinion, the same work (developing again mRNA vaccines etc) could also apply to any other receptor, couldn't they?
The absolute numbers are actually a pretty good rebuttal to a comment that says "never".

If you want to talk about it as a rate that's fine, but the pre-vaccine risk of dying from covid for a healthy person in their 40s or 50s was probably comparable to their lifetime risk of dying in a vehicular collision, it's not a small thing.
It's also interesting that Rivian (RIVN) and Lucid (LCID) stock have been falling in-sync with Tesla -- although maybe at 2/3 the rate. Due to institutional investors?

Last week, Ford and GM were also falling, although today they are flat.
How would this affect the profits?
Yet the uppercase G is symmetric to 6. Case in point: 604.
I'm saying we should invest in educating people in the US to stop falling for the scams, or for infrastructure to stop in here in the US.

As another comment notes, the US is responsible for plenty of parasitism (MLMs, ponzi, crypto) that is likely a higher total value, but I suspect most citizens would feel it's unfair to sanction them because of some bad actors in the economy
I honestly just literally never answer the phone unless its already in my contacts. If it's so important, they'll leave a message.

If the message mentions anything about stupid stuff like tax fraud/social security number its just immediately deleted, you'd 99% of the time receive official mail for anything about these items.
