A "colony" on Mars is going to be about as extensive as the ISS for at least 100 years.

Or have you bought into Elon's nonsense?

The funny thing is, I work in finance and see these decisions up close.

The owners explaining their decisons to me while keeping a straight face.

Make no mistake, owners (no matter how progressive, with very few exceptions) will screw you over if it improves the bottom line or their remuneration.

It's one of the worst aspects of my role. Owners straight up lying to my face about why they do things.

BMX'S, taking the bus to school instead of being driven, getting into mischief on weekends, football with neighbours on the streets ...

Without RTFA, the headline makes sense ... I mean, look at the state of me (LOL).

Because of the power dynamic. People are suckers for it.

Agreed. That's because of the power dynamic. People are suckers for it.

If most of us regularly lie at work or with our partners, we get sacked.

"Because, it's been a tough year. We'll look to implement a bonus scheme next year which will help us keep up with inflation"

... and all that boll@cks.

Advice: either be in the 1%, or change jobs regularly enough to consistently boost salary ahead of inflation.

Yes, especially with this subject matter. Normally I hate, but in this case it works.

For any users, how active is it these days?

I dabbled with it many years ago and ... Christ, can it really be 20 years since release?!?!

concurrency ranges from 23k to 45k or 49k at any given time. God only knows how many of those are bots/scripted agents though.

Decades is the correct context in which to be talking about this.

Good. Back when I believed in Tesla and its owner, this excited me. But the more you look into it, the more you experience it, the more you know about it and its delays, it's clear we'll be lucky to have actual FSD in 10-20 years. I think even that's optimistic.

I'm glad this is being recognised at legislative level. Objective people on the ground have known this for at least 5 years ...

One regret is that, while Tesla have forged a place for EV's in the world market, the waste of talent and time spent on FSD (and competitors trying to immitate and catch up on the promise of FSD specifically) has been tragic. I can only hope the secondary outcomes of that time are worth it.

Honestly, decent auto stop-start in very slow traffic and excellent lane-holding cruise control would have been enough for me ... and that's been available for a decade.
