Tesla only got this far because of a lot of people looking the other way on multiple levels.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 days ago

No shit.

"It almost feels like these big corporations can get away with anything..."

Almost? Been living under a rock?

"Move fast and kill things" Elon musk

Hail to the Whistleblower, that is a brave thing to do.

They're running tests 24/7 and there is a single person responsible for that which can be called at any moment?

Shouldn't be to expensive for Tesla to just hire a couple people more and split work into shifts.

Completely shocked. The fact that they never took the beta tag off of it was clue enough for me.

Shocked Pikachu face

A HEADER 1 TAG. THE MOST POWERFUL HTML ELEMENT IN EXISTENCE. FORGET PROTEST MARCHES, FORGET INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM - THIS PERSON SLAPPED A <H1> ON THEIR OPINION, SO NOW IT'S BASICALLY CONSTITUTIONAL LAW. I'M SURE ELON'S LEGAL TEAM IS PANICKING AS WE SPEAK, FRANTICALLY GOOGLING "HOW TO REVERSE H1 TAGS."

TRULY, THE BRAVERY OF USING HEADER-LEVEL FORMATTING FOR A HOT TAKE IS UNMATCHED. NEXT STOP: BOLD TEXT, AND THEN NOBODY WILL BE SAFE.

Houston was a good place for that, though.

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Houston was good for what, though?

Tesla / safety lapses / developing self driving

[–] jollyrogue@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 hours ago

Yes, all those. 😆

Houston is perfect for all that and deserves nothing better.
