Zanza, personal question.  Your chance to answer. Obviously.

Do you have equity in your employer?

I mostly learned Red Dwarf and Yes, Minister from our PBS. 

That's kinda what I was thinking.  We had fringe Britshows on PBS and they had no equivalent.

Let's agree to disagree on that.

Can't do it.

And I watched both of those shows via PBS via Canadian cable.

And I love them both.

We got some of the 60s/70s shows in the late 80s/early 90s, ironically. When commercial stations in Germany really took off with 24/7 programming, but didn't the budget yet for loads of self-produced or current content, they put on old shows. MASH, Three's Company, Dragnet, CHiPs, I Dream of Jeannie, Mr Ed, Bewitched, and plenty more.

Also no one but viper, a well known imbecile, has raised any 1A issues. Literally no one is saying people don't have a right to be Nazis. I am condemning them for that—which is also my right.

People from low freedom countries where the population is too stupid to handle free expression generally can't understand that nuance.

Financials for Tesla were poor as expected, but one figure stood out. Their free cash flow went from 441 million to minus 2.5 bn YOY in Q1. Supposedly because of high RD spending to build AI. At the same time the plant capacity usage was at best 78%, probably less.

Also a recent recall showed that they only delivered 3.900 cybertrucks so far, so a very niche car (so far?) for which they seem to have spend extraordinarily.

And apparently they have not even tried to license even a SAE3 car with the DMV yet, which makes the robotaxi story rather questionable.
