Is it also not the tool's fault that cops keep using it to stalk people?

Could you explain your analogy here, what does a moat have to do with a harness?

as I posted elsewhere, a tool that requires perfect human oversight to avoid harming innocent people is a problem

> They are even terrible at F1, having not one a title since 2008, despite having some of the best drivers racing for them

zero relevance to this discussion (but unsurprising you conflate), and if you don't understand F1 is a marketing exercise that Ferrari wins, I don't know what to tell you

> Would you call Rolex an innovative brand

Yes I would, the deep sea dweller was a stroke of genius, as was the Tudor renaissance, they are deeply connected to their customer base and innovate for their customers.

You seem unable to understand that for the market of demand that Ferrari and Rolex seek, they innovate perfectly. They innovate for the pool of customers, not for you or the public. They've been rewarded richly by creating new vehicles that their customers demand.

Again, you've provided zero evidence of your fact-free claims, no need to respond further

maybe learn the markets you're commenting on? also try learning what innovation means, it doesn't mean coming up with an imbecilic vehicle like the cyberdumpster

right, its the cops who decide "criminal culpability" all Flock did was lead them to the wrong person...poor innocent Flock

So he really relies on zero fundamental analysis these days

Next time just go to the store, buy some items and ask them to split the charge between two payment methods, run the 4.84 then the remainder on another payment method, problem solved.

So the company that earns more per vehicle sold isn't "innovative". How do they command their deliberate high sales prices then? Magic? Why doesn't every car maker have a similar strategy? Why doesn't Porsche, Aston Martin, etc have the same success?

Ferrari is innovative and their brand is vibrant. As evidenced by their extreme success.

If you want to argue in the alternative, try submitting facts or evidence.

Stagnant? Is that why their value has gone up 8x in the last decade? Does the market reward stagnant businesses?

It's very clear you don't follow the market or the auto industry. The fact that Ferrari is the most valuable European carmaker makes it clear they are not "stagnant". A "stagnant" brand wouldn't outvalue Volkswagen, etc.

Again, it's not a fact at all. Spend a few minutes doing basic research. All of this tech is cheaper today than it was in the 80s or 90s, cell phones in the 80s and 90s were thousands of dollars, internet was expensive, as were other electronics.

Items like smartphones are dramatically cheaper than the tech people bought in the 1990s. It replaced your home phone, video camera, answering machine, alarm clock, clock, etc. You are not correct at all, the things that have gone up in price are housing, education, health expenses, etc. Not electronics.

The point is that people are choosing to have fewer children, and it's absolutely not because of the cost of computers or cell phones.

its honestly only palatable with dozens of mods, which is disqualifying to me

Won't be true this year, and was only true last year if you include intracompany sales for Tesla.

The car part of Volvo is owned by Geely, Volvo AB makes trucks, buses, etc.

> I saw a figure recently that the US issued an all-time-high 800,000 TN visas to Canadians in 2016. And then in 2023 it surged to nearly 1.3 million.

This citation is an order of magnitude off. The US doesn't really track/release visa numbers well, what you're citing might be the number of individual entries using a TN visa - visaholders go back and forth, it's not the total number of visa holders.

DHS estimates 130k Canadian visaholders in country in 2024. https://ohss.dhs.gov/topics/immigration/nonimmigrant/populat...

Canada has 22m workers, so 130k working in the States is nothing like what you're claiming.

>their entire economy

Resource extraction is about ~10% of GDP, compared to 3-5% in the US and 1-2% in mainland Europe. Scandanvian countries have comparable resource extraction % of GDP. It's hardly the entire economy. It's also diversified resource extraction, it's not dependent on oil, etc. Your claim is overblown.

Ferrari's sold through 2024 ~300,000

Cybertrucks sold (including to themselves) - ~70,000

So no, Tesla has not sold more cybertrashbins than Ferrari has total vehicle sales

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari#Sales_history

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Cybertruck#Sales

They offer (still I assume) a ten year warranty in the States. They offer such a long warranty because the perceived reliability of their vehicles is so low.

> It... literally is?

It.... literally isn't? the cost of computers are lower today (in today's dollars) than they were in the 1980s and 1990s?

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2021/09/20/cost-of-a-computer...

right, its the phones and computers driving the high cost of raising a human being for 18 years + /s

which has nothing to do with your (wild) statements about how Ferrari is stagnant and desperate to boost sales...

> The Ferrari brand is rather stagnant and not innovative. They need to do something like this to drive more attention and sales.

Wild assertion. Ferrari is currently #8 largest market cap for a car manufacturer. They're valued above Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen and every other Euro car brand.

They couldn't be more successful as a small automaker if they tried. But you think they need to do something like this to drive attention and sales?

trying to monetize the botnets

The Dunning Kruger effect is very, very strong on HN. Also, many folks believe they are an expert in their own domain, so they must be an expert in all...you can see the Nobel disease play out in the minor leagues here.

> particularly in cases like this where the acts in question weren't necessarily a single event but progressive activity is the kind of question which is the bread and butter of an appeals court.

No, findings of disputed fact - like when Musk had reason to know of his injury, are determined by a jury (or a bench judge). Appeals courts examine whether the law was applied correctly, not what the jury's fact finding was. There may be an avenue of appeal that the jury was improperly instructed, but determining questions of fact are exactly -not- the bread and butter of an appeals court.

There is clear empirical data

https://futurism.com/elon-musk-most-hated-person-america-gal...

> And the latest poll conducted by Gallup seems to confirm that Musk has become genuinely hated: a whopping 61 percent of 1,000 randomly selected adult American respondents said they had an unfavorable opinion of Musk, topping the list of most despised global figures.

> Even Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has widely been accused of genocide against Palestinians, couldn’t quite match Musk’s “strongly negative skew,” with just 52 percent of respondents saying they had an unfavorable opinion of the politician.

> Back when Musk proposed buying Twitter, the site already was in the gutters

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a single serious person who'd say Twitter is a better product/experience today than prior to the acquisition.

The place continues to bleed users and is the first stop shop for Nazis

Lots of quotes from Mark Zuckerberg, not a lot of Zuckerberg quotes on the $80b invested in the metaverse

Here in 2026, Gamestop has closed more than 4,000 stores and only has about 2,000 stores open.

The people have voted with their feet, despite anecdata

I hope this happens bc they can't even get financing so it would prolong the hilaritiy

very impressive spokesman for the business and transaction
