Part of it is that artists get a share of the fees, while Ticketmaster takes all the blame. Mamy artists are in on it. Ones that trully are not can get ticket prices to be low like the Cure

With all fairness Tesla is more then a dent now. They sell more cars then Mazda, so they are not some minor player anymore. But you are completely right, the way they deliver cars and limited amount of models (really only 2 of them are mass market cars: 3 & Y). Means they are very high in sales-per-model stats.

>Weird, that’s crazy if true. Do they just put them all on a single ship? Is it somehow cheaper? Otherwise I’d assume they ship them as they roll off the production line

It's true, you can look at the numbers yourself.

This is related to two things:

1. A lots of their cars are still shipped in. So one or two ships arriving with thousands of cars each will skew statistics for that month.
2. Tesla overall has strong pushes at the end of the quarter. If you look at the graphs of their sales it's basically peaks and holes whole year, while most other car makers are more flat. This is mostly left-over from the time they were producing thousands of cars, struggling to survive and every quarter counted. Old habits die hard

Some of them, a lot still sails in from China

Literally what Musk's whitepaper suggested.

Obviously? Because none of the efforts or whitepaper tried that ...

I remember EV car FUD mate, but plenty of "Rational critiques" were very much spot on. In 2022 we still don't have:

1. FSD (only beta)
2. Robotaxis
3. Hyperloop (and never will)
4. "Tech company" - It's funny that no one is even trying to argue this any-more.
5. "Energy company" - SolarCity is on coninous downwards path, solar tiles are insignificant and they are reselling chinese panels
6. Loops (regular kind, made by boring company). Even Vegas Loop is serviced by taxi drivers
7. Cybertruck.

The only things they actually delivered on were the "realistic" ones which is to produce and expensive EV Car & SUV.

I called it then that Tesla will become like Mazda small independent carmaker making quirky interesting cars or becomes bankrupt.

They exceeded expectations producing two times more cars then Mazda at his point and I'm sure that they will continue to grow, but the dreams of challenging Toyota are over (but no chance of suddenly going bankrupt either I think).

>Hyperloop CAN be realistically built.

>But not with our current technology.

I mean technically they can be built. But never. And I mean never they would be viable or realistic.

To see why just look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz95_VvTxZM one guy with a hammer could trigger this and destroy killometers of tracks.

>The internet really isn't a place fit for billionaires

It used to be for a while. For years any post criticising Musk would get downvoted to oblivion. Anyone questioning Tesla valuation would get shouted over ("Tesla is a tech company!" "It's a growth stock!"). People were honestly arguing that Hyperloop is something that can be realistically built (Hell. Another billionaire-but-imbecile even spent a lots of his money to try to build one).

Perception is just catching up to reality.

You claimed that's a myth when there are clear historical examples.

But I've added qualifier to my original statement to make it clear that not all of them were like that.

From wikipedia:

> The Stechzeug in particular developed into extremely heavy armour which completely inhibited the movement of the rider, in its latest forms resembling an armour-shaped cabin integrated into the horse armour more than a functional suit of armour

So yes, late period jousting armour was heavy an impractical for anything other then jousting. It was heavy and stiff enough that either they had to be put onto the horse with help, or had special sets of stairs which they would climb before getting on a horse.

Just to be sure - this is just for a late period jousting armours. Regular armours were not like that.

Some tournament armours were so heavy there would be often two people helping the rider get onto a poor horse.

It's more of an iPhone thing. Or anything else with retina display, for those you can choose to serve higher resolution images then you would normally do at the cost of bandwidth

Only a person who has no experience with google whatsoever would think it's weird. They do tend to cut things that don't become massive hits quite often

Do they know that AI created works can't be copyrighted?

I mean the article kinda confirms it though? Bookings per individual are down, they admit as much. Another thing they admitted is basically - if you are renting unique property you'll be fine. If you're directly competing with hotels you are going to feel the pain of economies of scale they have

They do. Just look at the boards of directors. Same faces everywhere.

This reminds me when I was working in London. I was working for a small boutique agency, 5 people including boss. Of course it was a small agency so they didn't even have a proper office, just a converted apartment.

The thing is, the agency was in very middle of London - W1 postcode. But 3 of them lived in the North London. With a long commute.

But instead of renting a nice proper office in north London, for half the price, every single day three of them - including the owner! - would spend an hour commuting to the centre, to work in cramped converted office. They often rode on the same metro train!

I asked them why not move office closer to their homes ... Been told that y'know, all the serious companies are in W1 right?
