Or, y'know, don't do illegal things and it doesn't matter. That's the point of fines being a deterrent

Good article! Thanks for the archive link. Amazing that this type of shady shit which Tesla is doing is likewise behind a paywalled source where people can’t get this information as easily.

Inside a Starbucks near the Miami airport, the plaintiffs’ attorneys watched as greentheonly fired up his ThinkPad computer and plugged in a flash drive containing a forensic copy of the Autopilot unit’s contents. Within minutes, he found key data that was marked for deletion — along with confirmation that Tesla had received the collision snapshot within moments of the crash — proving the critical information should have actually been accessible all along.

The attorneys high-fived behind him.

Basically too, Tesla has also tried to delete the data again by powering up the unit from the crash, which would have ‘updated’ the device and conveniently removed data. How STRANGE it maintains this behavior… especially for collision snapshots.

Tesla is actively harming people, lying about it, and using shitty tactics to avoid any responsibility for it. Just like its daddy, Elon.

Seriously. This is so fucked yo.
I’m NEVER EVER going to buy Tesla.

How does archive get the unpaywalled version? I don't think they pay the subscription for every single tabloid out there?

Asking for a friend.

I think they use the same thing that web crawlers use. If Google's crawler couldn't access the content of the page (or could only access a limited amount of content), it would likely rank far lower in search results

That's why they said revenue, not profit. You never go for the net. Always go for the gross.

The paywall is JavaScript but the content is still in plaintext below. The crawlers don’t read the JavaScript.

Disabling 3rd-party js has no paywall, but only the first paragraph too. Crawlers get full access?

Btw, how come there is no search engine where you can sort and filter how you want instead of how they want? (except self-hosted i mean)

Pornhub has better searchability than, uh, all search sites i know.

Value can easily be manipulated, it really should be based on 15% ish of their gross income

Or value, or XYZ whatever is largest.

In theory I agree, in practice I despise laws that are needlessly wordy, and including a whichever is larger clause will add on an unnecessary element since gross income can only be abused with tax credit shenanigans which aren't very over the top, and if I had my way wouldn't exist at all(fairy tale I know)
