I believe he was quoting Trump, not Obama.

Seems tough to bet your life on that bit of logic

At this point I've read 2 stories that had little to nothing to contribute past those two tweets that Elon Musk wrote. They don't even link to the actual tweets so that I can read what other discussion might have happened/click the link that he has in his second tweet.

These types of stories are extremely frustrating, they're basically TMZ for tech. I feel like there are very few publications that are willing to publish real stories any more, not just the minimum work that will get clicks. I used to think the BBC was one of them.

I'm familiar with the idea, but if people run a red light 100% of the time, that becomes the new norm and therefore what is safe and expected. Don't forget that we're driving around in metal boxes powered by explosions, that didn't always seem safe (and certainly wouldn't to people if we suddenly introduced them to a society hundreds of years ago) but now it does seem safe.

You're saying that Asian countries have fewer accidents because people run red lights? Do you have a source on any of this?

One study with a grand total of 50 subjects and we're already saying that readers absorb less on Kindles? While interesting, the headline is click-bait and is not something we can say without further study.

Probably they want to appeal more to people that are a slightly outside the bitcoin realm. They would be less likely to have coinbase accounts and they would get some bonus user acquisition while they're at it.

Yeah that's a good point. Although, we don't make it very clear, you can connect your Google account and then opt to only get changes from your Basecamp account. But yes, you would always need to sign in using your Google account. Thanks a lot for the feedback.
