It’s the Pravda of the VC-centric tech scene and has been for a very very long time.

At least someone else gets it.

I'd suggest they're just as wrong about programming languages and maths as any other topic.

You can google for cloudflare issues ranging from providing hosting for actual nazi sites to extorting customers by threatening the exact scenario se saw in this blog post. Feel free to google "cloudflare account suspended" to see many posts about people having not just DDoS mitigation disabled, but everything related to an account deleted and disabled. Many of those people had the audacity to, get this, rely on DDoS protection! The nerve, right?

Not just "this case", there's been countless cases like this with CF.

Pro tip: Don't waste your time over there.

Not a huge surprise, they've got a long history of doing all kinds of scumbag shit. Nobody should be surprised when the leopard eats their face.

Their mobile service numbers are a tiny fraction of their service appointments. Mobile service isn't why it's slow and expensive, Elon is.

You don't see reviewers complaining because they have a financial and social interest in keeping the lies going. Tesla service centers are shitty, their management is shitty, and Tesla refuses to fix the problem because it costs money.

Tesla isn’t valued like a car company.

The market being stupid doesn't change the fact that they are a manufacturing company. The fact that they can convince people to repeat this nonsense is how they keep the market stupid. Keeping the market stupid is how they continue pumping cash to stay afloat.

iPhone actually works. Also, which generation iPhone weighs two tons?

The difference is that "tech" companies can produce more of their software with minimal or no additional cost. This is why their values tend to be higher than traditional companies manufacturing things. Tesla can't do that. Their revenue is their shitty cars, without them there's nothing to run their shitty non-working software on.

Except that the manufacture shitty products. Manufacturing something makes them not operate like a tech company, which is why Elon is desperate for people to repeat that they're a tech company. You're doing his work for him.

Tesla isn't a tech company.

Strange they waited until now, and didn't do this a year ago when it was obvious what Twitter was being used for.

Sounds like people of Texas should do something. Something about rotten apple and the bunch?

The history of post WW2 era is the forcing function. For better or worse.

In theory, you could make an argument about defending the people living in a hostile region. In practice the government of Israel has been on a hard right slide for decades and have been openly denying basic human rights to the people stranded in Gaza.

Great, then we should stop funding their government and military spending. If they won't stop, we can. Of course we won't, but we could and should.

By that measure every lithium battery manufacturer is "little known" then.

They identify people in public that should probably be robbed. So they're useful for that I suppose.
