A lot of people care about their legacy.

How do I create an LTSE account and start investing? I went to https://ltse.com/, clicked on the menu and selected "Exchange". But I only see marketing material.

Update: I found the Sign In/Sign Up URL: https://account.ltse.com/

I did my own deep dive on TOTP a few years ago and wrote a blog post on how to implement a Google Authenticator compatible 2fa system in java including generating QR codes[0]. Demo code is on GitHub[1].

> Yep, some of these predictions are outright comical. "has covid ended handshakes forever"

I hope so. Handshakes are pathogen vector I can easily do without. And they don't seem essential to anyone's livelihood.

> handshakes have survived thousands of years of pandemics. I get that people always tend to think their moment in history is particularly special, but I'm just gonna say if the black death didn't do something in this won't either

Our understanding of infection has advanced since then. Let's apply the knowledge.

Is it the same group of people? Isn't it possible that the set of people complaining about Ford's touchscreens is completely disjoint from the set of people loving Tesla's touchscreens, with no hypocrisy whatsoever? Or are people all just part of the same herd of consumer sheep?

> Clearly if the driver was watching YouTube on the touchscreen, the fact that it also shows their speed wouldn’t have been relevant.

Watching YouTube (or Netflix or any of the other supported streaming services) on the touchscreen while the car is in motion, is not currently possible in Tesla vehicles. This is by design. Eventually, when fully autonomous driving is supported, watching videos on the touchscreen while the vehicle is in motion might be allowed.

Since we're sharing, here's mine:

I thought the whole point of "index funds" was that they are not "actively managed" by a human fund manager. They should just automatically track the index (with some minimal tracking error).

> index funds rarely carry the entire portfolio of 500 securities - it's very expensive to manage that much stock at scale and rebalance each one.

This doesn't pass the sniff test. Funds calling themselves "S&P 500" funds but not actually holding the 500 companies in the index seems like false advertising at best and downright fraud at worst. And rebalancing a fund's holdings should be an automated process whose cost should be covered by the funds fees.

Terms and privacy policy were recently updated.

I disagree. Tesla is a luxury brand. Hertz is not.

He only had $3 in his pocket to actually pay for the Lambo.

If you only read one sentence from this article, it should be this one:

> In this paper, we take a fresh look at this ranking scheme using the public College dataset; we both formally and experimentally show in multiple ways that this ranking scheme is not reliable and cannot be trusted as authoritative because it is too sensitive to weight changes and can easily be gamed.

The 1,000,000th car was a Model Y.

What if this supply chain disruption is short term, and the world returns to business as usual soon?

I'll bite. How can you tell?

> ... and it could use its power to sell the browsing data of users of .orgs

By what mechanism is this possible?

> How do I feel about EVERYTHING moving to a large LCD panel that could play Netflix if I really wanted?

The Tesla Model 3 is already like this, including the Netflix part.

> So if updates and digital screens are on the way for all cars

Tesla has been doing over the air software updates and had digital screens for years.

> In the US, roughly 5% of households earn more than $200k. In a town of 70k, you’d expect there to be roughly 27k households and therefore 1300 households earning more than $200k.

This assumes uniform distribution of household incomes across cities of different sizes, which I suspect is a shaky assumption. More likely, the high earning households are concentrated in a short list of major population centers.

If you choose to put a WiFi password up on a sign as a QR code, do not post it in view of a window. Passers-by should not be able to connect to your network from outside your home or office. This advice also applies to plain text passwords posted on signs.

If you change the password, will you repaint the picture?

It probably uses the same skateboard design for the battery pack that all of Tesla's other vehicles use. The battery pack spans nearly the entire bottom of the vehicle, giving it a low center of gravity which helps prevent tipping and provides more trunk space.

> The trick is not to rely on Google translate for a finished translation, but to use it just as a tool toward reaching that goal.

This assumes the use case is a translator fluent in the source and target languages translating a passage. The far more common use cases for Google translate are people with near-zero knowledge of either the source or target language and little chance of completing the task successfully.

Do you mean the Bee-Watcher wants to know what to tell the Bee-Watcher-Watcher?

People should decline pointless meetings.

Undoing someone else's well intentioned work can be viewed as passive aggressive behavior.

What about electric trucks?

Surprisingly, there is no mention in the article of how the truckers feel about the threat of automation to their own jobs.

If only everyone read Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark[0], or at least the Baloney Detection Kit part.
