When will people realize that slapping yet another startup's tech stack onto yours isn't going to magically fix anything and in fact just adds complexity and points of failure.

I've always done my best to err on the side of "let's try not to add yet another level of complexity" and this strategy has yet to fail me.

So the more empty promises a CEO makes, the more valuable a company?

And they say capitalism isn't broken.

Have fun holding those bags I guess.

I swear this is the logic of a small child. Dangle some candy in front of them and they'll follow you anywhere.

I frankly can't see how this is inciting a flamewar. Tesla has a pretty good record of being terrible at manufacturing. I've seen innumerable comments on this site where people make similar "what makes you think that..." comments that are inciting argument. I don't see why mine is special.

Furthermore, in the linked comment, the person I was replying to did, in fact, completely miss the point of my comment and make an entirely non sequitur resposne. Will they be getting warned too?

What makes you think that Tesla would be able to do that, given their reputation of not being able to manufacture cars that don't fall apart immediately upon rolling off the factory line? They kinda have to be able to build cars in the first place in order to build them faster with more robots.

So you still think it's a good thing that a private company should be handling important infrastructure and be able to say, on a whim, "Nop, we're not going to handle this because reasons. Sorry not sorry."

How can you say for certainty that they won't do it again? Are you in a leadership position at UPS where you're able to make that assertion?

They're not literally saying to people, with no notice, that "no, we won't accept this mailpiece" so yes, I think they're doing better.

Privatizing the mail doesn't magically prevent delivery mistakes from happening, despite what you appear to be suggesting.

So, anyone here still think it's a good idea to privatize postal delivery?

Damn, my point went impressively far over your head huh.

Ah right, because using other tried and tested methods like providing everyone better mental healthcare options are boring. Just make an app! Apps solve everything! Apps! Apps! Apps!

Oh right but providing better mental healthcare doesn't allow for people to receive bogus investements for their overhyped app and make millions.

That's why it's not an option.

Yeah just keep throwing apps at every problem, that'll fix things eventually.

lmao

You make it sound like the companies who run this shit are penniless, they're not, they're making millions of dollars of actual cash. There's no charity going on here.
