  • Ukrainian, living in Kyiv (have lived in other cities too).

    It does seem that Kyiv has by far the best AA defence systems in the country. For what it’s worth, I’d rather they target Kyiv if that helps blunt the impact of the attacks.

    That being said, it’s not fun to have constant shockwaves and loud noises from explosions/takedowns all night. Not to mention the risk of death/getting wounded and/or having your apartment be heavily damaged.

    Best option would be if all regions could have an AA defence comparable to Kyiv, but unfortunately that’s not possible.



  • Is there some truth to what Tesla responded with? Very likely.

    Where is the proof? Why didn’t Tesla sue Reuters if they are lying?

    Factually speaking, it was considered not true, but he also didn’t fight it as they were threatening the existence of the company at a very difficult time so he settled with the SEC.

    Conspiracy theory bullshit. Where is the proof?

    I bring it up because it’s the same new manufacturing process as the 25k car. It’s a wholly new way to manufacture cars

    Where is the proof other than corporate PR? Send me a BOM analysis based on current estimates (with details) and other relevant financial details. This is not a big ask, there are solid BOM analyses for many “leading edge” hardware products (I’ve done professional work on this, so I would know).

    The point I am making is that I am not buying your “judicial roleplay” (pretending that this is a court of law with all the theatrics about the nature of proving something). Not to mention it’s pretty sophomoric of you to assume that unless a (US!) court rules on something, then we have to immediately defer to corporate PR copytext and we cannot make any analysis beyond that.

    I’ve lived in the US. I know how badly Americans reflexively react to someone not buying into their local assumptions. So in a sense I understand you.

    But that doesn’t mean I am going to buy into your bullshit.







  • I think this is all bullshit for market manipulation. “Lars” can say he has three dicks, that doesn’t make it so.

    Musk is a known and confirmed liar (“deal secured”), it is reasonable to assume he has a level of commitment to dishonesty, especially considering he lives in the US, where criminality and dishonesty are broadly encouraged both at an institutional level and among wider society.

    You bring all this cybercab and unboxed stuff, what makes you think you are more qualified to evaluate these points than Reuters?

    Are you claiming you have insider info or are you just repeating various Tesla PR copytext?







  • What info have you provided?

    There is no moving goalposts. From the Wikipedia article:

    Construction of the port commenced in January 2008. In 2016, it reported an operating profit of $1.81 million but was considered economically unviable.[4] As debt repayment got difficult, the newly-elected government decided to privatise an 80% stake of the port to raise foreign exchange in order to repay maturing sovereign bonds unrelated to the port.[5][6] Of the two bidding companies, China Merchants Port was chosen,[5] which was to pay $1.12 billion to Sri Lanka and spend additional amounts to develop the port into full operation.[7][8][9]

    In July 2017, the agreement was signed, but CMPort was allowed a 70% stake. Simultaneously a 99-year lease on the port was granted to CMPort.

    Can you explain Kerry Brown’s arguement in context of this information?
