  • I expect the new models to be harmful to sales.

    Because tesla rarely makes changes to their cars year over year, you can buy a tesla now and have one that looks like you bought it before elon publicly went off the deep end. There’s still plausible deniability with most of their models.

    But now, anyone buying a model Y is getting a car that obviously could only have been purchased during trump’s second term. There’s no plausible deniability. The distinctive front and rear light bars scream:

    “I chose to buy this car after watching the CEO do the nazi salute twice on national television.”



  • Both the 737 and a320 have wait lists at least a decade long. Small jets are popular. This is why few airlines canceled orders in response to the max crashes. Airlines need to keep buying new planes to maintain their fleets, so moving from the front of boeing’s queue to the back of airbus’s is not a viable strategy.

    Comac’s C919 went into service in 2023. It is certified by chinese authorities for service in china, but comac is working on getting approval from easa to operate in europe.

    Switching to comac would mean getting in the front of the line for the new plane. And aircraft makers often give very favorable deals to launch customers who order large numbers.

    And ryanair will be ordering many planes because most of budget airline’s savings come from only operating a single aircraft type. Buying comac would mean replacing their entire fleet.














  • From their reddit page:

    We’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the Inclusion Day march scheduled for April 30th. This decision comes after a targeted doxxing attack against Joe, our President, and growing safety concerns—especially given the rising hostility directed at the LGBTQIA+ community. Our top priority is and always will be the safety of our people.

    We may not be marching this month, but we’re not going anywhere. We stand in full solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community, and we will continue to show up however and wherever we can.

    More soon. Stay safe and stay strong.



  • MIT Technology Review is talking

    they did talk about this many years ago. This is a very old screenshot that has been around the internet for probably a decade at a guess. You might notice the check mark because this was from a time that twitter actually vetted sources. There’s nothing wrong with a publication having bad takes on occasion. That does happen now and again.

    The telling part is the fact that this one single tweet keeps being reposted repeatedly, with the reply as if this is a substantive criticism of capitalism.
