The Edsel would be a huge success for any small startup. The thing is, Tesla is still a small startup, but it's bizarrely overvalued so it gets compared to what was at the time the leading carmaker.
Note that Tesla is apparently leaving the car market in favor of robots.

Did you mean "admitting" the problem?

There are (I would assume) other reasons to vote. Other offices? Judges? Voter initiatives?

Will this appear on your site? I want to show it to people at my job, and our gateway blocks Mastodon.

My father was an Antifa member in the 1940s. His cell was "The Fifth Armored Division of the United States Army."

Why isn't this getting more coverage?
I wanted to read your coverage of this ... and your site (for me) is freezing on https://briankrebs.com/lander with no content. When I reveal source, I see this as the main part of the page:
<body><div id="root"></div></body>
I'm betting that div should have something in it.

I have no actual doubt that you get this stuff, but nevertheless it's hard to believe people can be that obtuse. (Maybe they're LLMs?)

How sure are you that this one's real? Nothing about it anywhere except ... this thread, apparently. Maybe that'll have changed by the time you see this, of course.

Because I post as @npub1dwq…6wn4, I'm required to say that you mean "Edgedancer". Which, by the way, is pretty good.

Brandon had the writing style for the characters down, the plot spoke to me, and it had somewhat less "Kaladin mopes" content. I'm a fan of other viewpoint characters more than Kaladin.

Interesting. WoR was far, far better that WoK for me. My favorite of the series, depending on which day you ask me.

I've had that same thought about what I have to call "the free states".
I absolutely hate having to call us that, but ....

Have you looked at how John Deere used to extort its customers? https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/01/john-deere-relents-says-farmers-can-fix-their-own-tractors-after-all/
It's a recurring revenue thing, quite similar in feel (at least for me) to what MS is doing.
