Tesla only selling 4 models makes for difficult comparisons with companies like Toyota that sell several cars in overlapping segments.

The limit to EVs makes it fine (if excl. PHEVs). If BYD/Toyota have more models that is fine for the comparison. That is the point.

No, it does not make the comparison unbiased, because other companies, like BYD, may sell in a month as much EV cars as Tesla sells in a quarter, but they are distributed over diverse models, so one Tesla model may indeed sell more than any other model, without this reflecting the EV market share.

E.g. for BYD the 2026 target is over 1.5 million exported EV cars, with more than that produced for the internal Chinese market. During 2025, BYD exported more than 1 million EV cars, besides the production for the Chinese market.


The whole story about Tesla until 2025 was that they had the #1 selling model across any category: BEVs, PHEVs, and ICEs included. So it’s absolutely correct to note when that model’s sales no longer exceed those of a PHEV or ICE model, and it’s always in the context of how competitors choose to segment their offerings.

The core truth is that the popularity of buying a new Tesla has slipped significantly relative to competitors.


Only 4 models and still slipped from #1.

What authoritative number did you have in mind, oh economic sage?

The correct number would still be somewhat negative (deflationary), as you'd expect. BLS says -8% https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CUUR0000SEEE01?output_view=d...

The same thing happens here. Courts are allowed to compel speech as a method of remedy, but my recollection is that this is sometimes successfully challenged.

An interesting variant I’ve seen on anti-smoking banners at convenience stores is “A federal court has ordered a Philip Morris USA to say: …”


This is why courts are empowered to infringe upon the rights of parties to the case.

Any bar worth going to would kick out the asshole with the sign and ban them from returning.

Tell me you never been to a bar without telling me you never been to a bar. Bars are usually a huge hot or not (well, parties in general). People are talking and gossiping about each other the whole time. At worst you only be talked about as well.

Okay. Now imagine he's doing it out on the public sidewalk and not using bar property. Would it be justified to use physical force and steal the clipboard owner's property?

What about this imaginary scenario has anything to do with OP scraping their college’s student directory to populate their rumor mill website?

Where did stealing property come from?

Also the guy with a clipboard is only showing those notes to a couple people at a time after they journey to his location, which makes a pretty big difference for the amount of disruption. There's no magical thinking about the internet being special. The social norms are different because the situation is so different.


They stole his phone using physical violence. It's in the article. I'll quote it for you.

>So i was like chill out bro, ill just delete the video, but the dean said, "no confiscate his phone". so one of the guards just snatched the phone from my hand the dean said wipe everything, and dont give him his phone back. I was like wtf is happening? bro I have my private photos on there dont do this. like you cannot do this. I tried reaching for my phone but one of the security guys just held me. and started being rough with me. like pushing me around and shit.


That wasn't really because of the website though. The meeting could have been about basically anything and grabbing the phone for recording could have happened. It was bad but let's not mix up the two situations.

But it didn't work on him; his parents are in the army.

> I knew the police can't really tell me to do anyhting, and my parents are in the army too so intimidation obv wont work.

So what are you complaining about?


So you made JuicyCampus[0]/YikYak[1] and are surprised you’re being ostracized for it?

My idea and the implementation was honestly much different from these. It was a pretty cool abd unique implementation i think, where you’re commenting on actual person profiles instead of random gossip… hence the virality

So I've been online for over 30 years now and literally every community I've been a part of with over 1000 members eventually has someone build basically this exact same thing. It's about as original and unique as starting a t-shirt business or a discount card for students.

As for your claims that people like it because lots of people were using it, you are being ignorant. People in the community refresh on sites like this/flock to them because of fear. They are afraid of what people are saying about themselves and their friends.

I guarantee if you actually polled users you'd find the vast vast majority of them would wish the site didn't exist. Usage != Support.


No you’re completely wrong on this. Almost all of the discussion was just fun stuff, “oh i like this guy” “this girl is cute” “im crushing on him” etc etc. there were a few bad comments, which btw i dont think comments on the internet should bother you that much, cos itll make your life harder only, but still any bad comments i was deleting when told

It's not like people do not make this kind of websites because it's challenging technically (it's trivial) or because they did not think of it. They don't because it's shitty idea.

If you are a non-managerial employee, the NLRA explicitly prohibits your employer from restricting you from discussing your compensation.

And anyway, if you’re not in a state that has banned employers from asking for salary information, the recruiter always has the option of shit-canning your application for being non-responsive.


Yes, I think the grandparent post conflates those whale-attractors with typical service industry behaviors toward repeat customers.

High end hospitality is different from exploiting compulsive behaviors of addiction.

Sadly, there are apps out there whose installers drop helper apps in ~/Library/Application Support. Or worse: Eve Online actually puts the whole game there. The Eve.app in /Applications (or wherever you choose to put it) is just the launcher/downloader.

Weinstein blew open when Ashley Judd and Rose McGowan spoke to the New York Times [0].

That in turn led to more concrete public allegations against Spacey, which he tried to deflect by “choosing to live as a gay man.”
