Can you give some examples? I think I keep up with world news and am genuinely at a loss for what you're talking about

Is free trade an attempt at no control? You'll find a lot of people who disagree with you, especially on the left. I'm just saying I think your argument is a serious oversimplification.

I wonder about a lot of things people can do to these Teslas

Eh, it's written in Texas law that if a company wants to claim an exemption from an open records request due to trade secrets and such that the municipality sends the request to the AGs office for review

Highlights:

Tesla claims its camera-only system doesn’t require high-definition mapping, radar, or lidar technology. According to the company, its approach to autonomous driving is less expensive and more adaptable than the competition: instead of mapping an area for months, Tesla cars can figure out the terrain wherever they are. But if that’s the case, why are Teslas driving around the same streets of one neighborhood over and over—and why do many of the vehicles have someone driving them?

And:

Tesla is nearing the end of the June deadline that Musk set for launch...But as of Tuesday, June 10, several important pre-launch checklist items appeared to be outstanding. Tesla had provided drafts, but not finalized emergency responder guides, nor had it conducted emergency responder trainings to ATD or AFD.

Totally independent of Elon Musk's vile behavior, it's insane that a car company with a trillion dollar market cap is staking its entire future on a taxi service, especially when it's clear it's not even remotely ready for prime time. Waymo is already a fully developed service with a surprisingly clean record, and the idea that Tesla is able to compete with Google in this space is laughable.

Mark my words, there's going to be accidents caused by autonomous Teslas. I just hope no one dies. I can't wait for the bottom to fall out of Musk's company when investors realize this is the same smoke and mirrors bullshit Musk keeps pulling recently.

Well yes, it does have to have chirality, I just meant it doesn't have to contain any specific elements.

I'm definitely no expert, but isn't the D/L notation used in all of chemistry? Sometimes it's written Δ/Λ, but that's the same thing. Doesn't it just describe a molecule's geometry in a different way from R/S?
