@data_atx We’d be better off if the CoA just bought Robotaxis, approved unsupervised, and offered free or almost free rides to residents.

What a boondoggle

@ewarren Or get rid of fraud?

A wealth tax on the top .15% of the richest families would generate $6.2 trillion in revenue. That could pay for: Universal childcare Millions of new homes Slashing child poverty Medicare for people aged 55+ Universal paid family leave Tuition-free community college And more.

@SawyerMerritt Forrest green would have been way cooler, a color scheme not currently offered

US fertility reached 1.57 last year, the lowest ever recorded, and the WSJ explanation is "uncertainty about finances, relationship stability, and the political climate" my great grandma had eleven children during the second world war, in a country being bombed, in a house with no running water, on rations. poor people have always had kids. the poorest people on earth right now still have kids and the financial excuse is a story we tell ourselves because it makes us feel good and the real one is unbearable the real mechanism is that we got rich enough to redefine children as an expense instead of the point. somewhere in the last fifty years the cultural goal inverted and a child stopped being what life is for and became a line item competing with the lifestyle. once you frame it that way the math never works, because the math isnt supposed to work. that's the point we are living in the richest moment in human history and we decided to use the surplus to buy ourselves out of the future. the most prosperous civilization that has ever existed is committing demographic suicide at the altar of personal optimization and comfort, and the official line is that we cant afford it the birthrate is a lagging indicator of a civilization that forgot why it was alive

@Nominal_io @ShinkeiSystems More affordable sushi? I’m here for it

Two-thirds of wild-caught fish rot before they ever reach a plate. @ShinkeiSystems built Poseidon, a mini-fridge sized robot, to fix that. Ike-jime. Six seconds. Commercial scale. On American fishing boats. What used to require a master’s hand at a $400 omakase counter is now automated on deck. Their mission is our purpose. And they’re hiring. Serious hardware requires serious engineers. Work at Shinkei: shinkei.systems/about

@data_atx Nah lots are too small for that

Transforming the JJ Pickle lab into a new MD Anderson would just be massive over the next 70 years After JJ pickle in red gets transformed, and they convert all the warehouses in purple to new developments, does the area in yellow become like the new Tarrytown?

@wholemars Well my reasoning was more math related. Bought a 2025 X in the 6 seat option. When I bought it, I was able to get the 6 seat configuration ($6,500) for free with the purchase of FSD. So I got FSD and 6 seat configuration for 8K instead of 14,500. Felt right to do it that way

It’s fascinating to me that buying FSD in full is so much more popular than subscribing 70% of FSD users bought in full

@_delconte Ran into a bug looking at premium football seating. When trying to 'learn more' about the Longhorn Lounge via a chat, I am redirected to the Denver Broncos premium seating website. Here's a video: awesomescreenshot.com/video/48142228…

@Jason Just need more family friendly venues in Austin!

Tell me about your new years resolutions, hopes, dreams and plans — and what you need help with!

@LoewyLawFirm They need to, very simply, build an algorithm publicly sourced in the off season, then give that algorithm with weights to a computer like BCS era, and remove human bias from making the decisions. That’s about it

What a total embarrassment this system is. It’s just unbelievable how dumb the people who run CFB continue to be.

@HulkCapital So if you’re young (say a toddler) is putting a little bit of money into it now a smart decision to capitalize on long term growth of bitcoin?

$MSTR market cap now $45B but owns 650,000 Bitcoin at $55B valuation.

will home prices be discounted for cyber monday?

@AJA_Cortes We’ve started using a healthshare plan (liberty healthshare) and while we have to do a little bit more legwork up front, we are saving so much money on costs. Normal health insurance killed us

Cost of health insurance is out of control $2-4k+ a month And unless youre visiting the doctor constantly, its money paid out that essentially unused and lost -Dont care about the "its for an EMERGENCY" lecture Youd get better ROI on hiring a concierge doctor team and optimizing your familys health

@carebearkieran He’s needed to hire an OC for three years

This is completely on Steve Sarkisian… Severe lack of attention to detail and preparation from a head coach on one side of the ball THIS ENTIRE SEASON! He makes too much money to look this abysmal on HIS SIDE of the ball PERIOD

@NashTalksTexas It’s been bad for a few years, too. I’m hoping we can right the ship, but for being an “offensive guru” five years in still struggling in the red zone is tough to stomach.

If Texas wants to achieve their goals of a national championship, they NEED to turn these categories around. There are 136 teams in Division 1 FBS.

@elonmusk the main difficulty/confusion I have now is understanding my monthly premium if I switch to tesla insurance. If the monthly premium adjusts for your driving once you have it, can we get an idea of that adjustment before based on our FSD driving? The base rate currently is high

Please reply to this post with any difficulties you may have had in trying to buy a Tesla. Our goal is for the purchase and delivery experience to be fast and simple, with accurate answers to your questions. The key test is that you would recommend it to a friend.

A 0-1 record can't stop The Reheat from coming back. We microwave and react to Ohio State over on @insidetexas. Schadenfreude of the week, along with Sark's redzone woes and where the hype train is at. on3.com/teams/texas-lo…

@billyliucci Oh I agree. Can’t be an offensive guru and not have an offensive team in big games. We’ve needed a new play caller

Texas fans piling on Arch when this is more of a Sark issue IMO. A ton of talent but 15 and 19 vs UGA, 17 vs A&M, 14 and 7 vs Ohio State. That offense bogs down way too much for being 'all gas' and the playcaller getting the hype he gets.

@BON_SBNation We need a new play caller, especially in the red zone. But arch also needs to hit the easy throws

What are your postgame thoughts?

@SawyerMerritt I’m also genuinely wondering how FSD and robotaxis work with kids in car seats — my whole life right now

@SawyerMerritt It might be that they have a different, new model in mind for families? I’ve got three kids and we went for the X since the Y was too small. Even the Y L I think doesn’t have quite the room we would look for. Minivan maybe? Less luxurious X?

I'm a little surprised by this. I think the Model Y L would sell extremely well in North America, even with the advent of self-driving. Americans love their larger SUVs. Bigger families here want the Model Y L. There is a need in North America for larger all-electric SUVs at a more affordable price. Delaying the Model Y L launch by a year, or possibly not producing it here at all, I think would be leaving a lot on the table. There are going to be scenarios where a larger family with luggage wants to ride together in a self-driving robotaxi rather than separately in different Cybercabs. I think the Model Y L fits this scenario perfectly since it has the extra room and comfort features versus the current Model Y, but is cheaper to produce than the Model X.
