Absolutely. Are you serious? Do you not learn anything from literature?

That isn't really the point, though, is it?

I have the same notions about such cases. Can anyone think of child prodigies that went on to do notable things? (not including the unabomber)

Well, to be fair, and we're on course to veer right off topic -- a large majority of gun deaths are suicides.

Do you believe that bitcoin is useful as an actual currency? As far as I can tell, its only use is to buy drugs and other illegal things online.

Can I ask -- What was your line of thinking that led you to find this out?

I'm the kind of guy who could probably figure out how to do this if it was, like, given to me as a task. But never in a million years would I just stumble across this.

Are they squandering it by making such claims?

How many people do you really think are going to read their claims, then read that their claims are not fully backed up, and then decide to boycott the company?

Versus how many people read their claims, and have been reading their previous claims, and are already sucked into Tesla's "Saving the world" narrative.

For those people, stuff like this "Impact Report" aren't deciding factors, but are a part of a larger effort at Tesla to imbue a sense of 'higher purpose' or something along those lines.

There's little downside to this kind of fluff.

Confusing indeed. Are they just trying to make it harder to buy the cheapest model? That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

What is bitpatreon? I can't find anything about it on google.

This whole 'article' feels a lot like an ad for various consumer products.
