“The way we raise birds now, there’s not a lot of genetic variability,” Hansen said. “They’re all the same bird, basically.”

Because Tesla makes money, with the byproduct of cars.

You do you, but the OS is here.

Some reasons:

• It's a lot of work no one wants to do given there are half-decent proprietary alternatives
• Eric wasn't sitting twiddling his thumbs
• The corporate landscape wasn't nearly as hostile to users until the last few years

I had a Pebble Time Steel and it was the best watch I've ever head. I want another Pebble. So does Eric. So I gave him money to make me one.

I haven't moved on. Pebble Time Steel was the best watch I've ever had. I've been using Fitbit since the death of Pebble and they never got as good as Pebble was. If Repebble hadn't shown up, I'd probably be going Garmin after the inevitable death of Fitbit. But now that the choice is between Garmin and a hackable open source Pebble with 30 days of battery life... Repebble wins for me. ☺️

Likely binary blobs from vendors like Debian's non-free-firmware.

Tesla has much higher output than the number of vehicles that spontaneously combust. So the supply shortage you envision won't occur unless cars light up by the hundreds or thousands a day. And that's before accounting for all the extra slack in production created by decreasing demand around the world.

Teslas combusting damages the brand. It's a material risk of owning a Tesla. It would also mean higher insurance. In fact beyond some combustion threshold, Teslas would become uninsurable. Therefore Teslas on fire directly contributes to decreasing Elon's purchase power.

Absolute best. None of the Fitbits I've had were better. None of them detect when I've woken correctly in order to enable/disable notifications.

It's open source.

• 30-day battery life

Right but if investment relies on regulation to be responsible, and removing such regulation leads to potentially higher profits... And if you're able to collect profits on future expected returns today via asset markets... Then wouldn't most try to get rid of such regulation? Most of those people 20 years ago made a killing following deregulation they lobbied for earlier.
