I hope you come back 2 years from now and let us know if you still have a job and how your wage has been developing. The way you describe your workflow does not look promising.

No they are not.

Emojis are also formatting issue. Smileys: :) ;) :o

I don't understand why we need to add small images into character set. Hieroglyphs for those who can't read?


Because language is use. Billions of people use emoji in their every day textual communications. Unicode exists to encode all textual communication.

Emoji symbols don't emerge from language use.

Corporations like Apple, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Facebook invent them. And pay tens of thousands a year for Unicode consortium so that they can vote to add them to the standard.

They are corporate symbols.


Emoji were in widespread use in Japan on the mobile phones of the generation before the smartphone. That is a corpus of many years of human communication which falls within the goals of Unicode to unlock. Those emoji may have been invented by AU, Softbank, and NTTDocomo, but they exist.

The recent additions come from a variety of proposals; most seem to be independent initiatives.

Big tech embraced emoji, but they got in the standard without them. Their widespread use was pretty much a given.


They are neither.

Revisions and surprises are routine. Data comes in gradually, but estimates are useful even before all data has arrived. Early data is based on business reporting and businesses that report on-time aren't necessarily representative of all businesses. Those people who use this data know this, and prepare for revisions.

I hope this helps and you understand better. Anyone here who still thinks this is still incompetence or corruption because surveys come late?

>I wonder why there is such lack of accountability from firms whose data pretty much feeds the world's economy.

Create punishment system? Unless compaies report data back to BLS very fast, they pay big fee or are taxed higher. Small shops would hate it.

Or incentivize companies to report accurate data pretty fast. Payroll management systems can be plugged in real time, but that costs money and yeah small businesses are not going to be happy. So incentivization works better than punishment I think.


As the link you provided shows Tesla's revenues have been flat almost 3 years now.

> As the link you provided shows Tesla's revenues have been flat almost 3 years now.

2024: $97.69 B, i.e. +0.95% vs. 2023

2023: $96.77 B, i.e. +18.8% vs. 2022

2022: $81.46 B, i.e. +51.35% vs. 2021

So flat for 1 year (going into 2024) and we don't yet know 2025 numbers, which is less pessimistic than your "almost 3 years flat".


2025 is half done, and Tesla is down about $3B/quarter compared to last year already. If that trend keeps up, then 2025 will come in around $85B or so. (Although analyst expectations seem to be that Q3 and Q4 will jump back to 2024 levels, which... really defies all the available evidence.)

Anything happen in 2022?

If you adjust for inflation, the 2022-2023 rise is going to look fairly anaemic (and 23-24 is a drop, of course).


Trailing 3 years meaning last 12 quaters (3×4)

  2022-Q3 $21.5B revenue
  2025-Q2 $22.5b revenue

Tesla's revenue has been flat 3 years now. There are up and downs but it's stagnated over long term.

  2022-Q3 $21.5B revenue
  2025-Q2 $22.5b revenue

You can only cut costs so much before you're selling the equivalent of a $50k geo metro.

When they removed the center horn and the stalks from their cars, they officially jumped the shark. But I bet they saved at least $50 per car from their costs. I still can't believe the NHTSA hasn't issued a recall.


My new Y still has a horn and stock? And while everyone wishes their car was cheaper it was a lot nicer than a mustang Mach e, despite being cheaper

> it was a lot nicer than a mustang Mach e

Having owned both, I’m not even sure where to begin with how laughably inaccurate that is. We can start at functioning automatic wipers, 360 degree cameras, parking assist that actually works, a knob to control stereo volume, accurate marketing numbers for range, a dealership network that actually will fix the issue, insurance that isn’t insane, headlight brights that actually dim at an appropriate distance for oncoming traffic, cruise control that doesn’t phantom brake (slam on the brakes for no reason) traveling down the highway…

Need I continue? Because I can.


> parking assist that actually works

Are you sure you owned both? You're sort of exposing yourself as never having owned a Tesla at all (at least not a new one). I've never experienced phantom braking in my Y (although I have in a ford escort), and the headlight dimming is pretty good (again in the new model Y, unsure about an old one).

Niceness is subjective, so I suppose it's inappropriate to declare it as nicer, but it is a premium car. The materials and experience are much nicer than, say, a Camry, and is on par with vehicles in its class if not better.


A base Model Y costs $18,000 more than a base Camry when the price is not being artificially lowered by the government. Different price range entirely.

Correct. That’s why the Model Y is in a different class than a Camry. The Camry is my example of a modern geo metro

I loved driving my 3 cylinder convertible geo metro! It was the 'sport' version so you could actually hit 60 if you held the peddle down long enough but it rode like it was on rails because of how light it was!

I get your broader point; comparison to a Geo Metro is a bit much.

Yeah, at least the Geo Metro had an easy to use horn, turn signal stalks, and reliably functional wipers.

And turns out that a small torquey engine in a car with very little mass is actually pretty fun to drive! Even if you’d prefer not to be seen doing it.

Also has an instrument panel the driver can easily see.

I’ve driven a Model 3 and its handling and overall feel was worse than a barebones Honda Civic. I’d say a Model 3 is on par with how a low end Chrysler feels to drive.


I daily drive a Model 3 and when I rented a Honda Civic for a trip I thought it was broken with how long it took to get any speed. You're trolling regarding the Chrysler comment lol

Why are you staring at your instrument panel and not the road? The speed is just a glance at the top corner as you should be focused on driving ;)


After driving car with HUD the Tesla's approach is laughable. Especially when you need to maintain different speed limits in the city.

Reminds me cheap Peugeot 107 where tachometer is an extra option.


Wait, how do you honk on a Tesla?

There’s a capacitive button on the newer steering wheels.

Let me guess, you can pay a premium for the “old” style wheel and stalk?

No, the horn is in the middle, the capacitive horn only steering wheel existed on early builds of the model S refresh (when plaid was first released), but after ~6 months they added the normal horn back.

And for anyone with an S who wanted to not have that garbage? A $2k “upgrade” - only Tesla.

The X has a capacitive horn.

And whats the real growth when controlled for inflation (price increases)?

Less than 10% of Tesla's value is in existing business. Tesla's revenue hasn't grown in three years

  1. Car company (true)
  2. energy company (eh)
  3. robotaxi (next year since 2018) 
  4. robots ... 
Google, Amazon Robotics/Kiva, Hyundai/Boston Dynamics, even Nvidia are ahead of Tesla in AI+robotics.

Tesla’s product is the stock.

Goddamn snake is eating itself again

Meme stock.

> Google, Amazon Robotics/Kiva, Hyundai/Boston Dynamics, even Nvidia are ahead of Tesla in AI+robotics.

Optimus seems to be much closer to actually being released as a product than Atlas. After over a decade, Boston Dynamics still hasn't shown anyone a live, unscripted demo of Atlas as far as I can tell (Tesla was showing those with multiple Optimus robots a year ago). And they don't appear to have any plans for actually selling it as a product anytime soon.

I'm skeptical of the humanoid robot market in general, but at the moment Tesla and Unitree appear to be the two companies ate the forefront of it.


What? One of Tesla's more recent demos of Optimus literally had a handler with a remote control "driving" it.

This is a non-sequitur. The Optimus demonstrations so far have been partially controlled (though the degree to which they were appears to be overstated). This doesn't change the fact that they've done public demonstrations with the robots while Boston Dynamics hasn't.

It's not a non-sequitur, because if the "partial control" of the robot is significant enough, it's no longer a robot.

This isn't true at all? Robots can be controlled externally, either fully or partially. ASIMO didn't stop being a robot because it was under external control for demonstrations (from what I can tell, much more external control than the Tesla robots).

I disagree, but regardless of what you call it, no one is interested in buying a super expensive remote control human analogue from Tesla.

Approximately half of the effect of caffeine on type 2 diabetes was estimated to be mediated through body mass index reduction. No strong associations with any studied cardiovascular diseases.

Pony.ai requires LiDAR.

Musk refuses to use LiDAR. That's the main reason Tesla is so much behind all others.

Musk would look foolish if he backs down on No Lidar. But, buying PONY allows him to say,"We proved vision-only FSD works. But customers wanted robotaxi today, not tomorrow. So I added Pony’s lidar solution — now you have both.” And this allows him a genuine L4 robotaxi solution that works today ... without "safety operators" in the driver seat.
