The "fact" that Dan has more money than I do isn't an established fact. Dan may know how much money he has, but he doesn't know how much money I have. and I have no plans to make that public.

At best it is a hypothesis, not backed up by any kind of evidence, which makes Dan a liar.

The proposition that Harvard was a better University than Melbourne from 1960 to 1970 (when I was a student as the University of Melbourne) does depend on what you mean by "better". "More prestigious" basically means more impressive and more glamorous, and you go to a university to get educated, rather than glamorised. I came out of Melbourne with a Ph.D., Dan seems to have settled for a bachelors degree, so Melbourne worked better for me than Harvard did for him.

The fact that the Tesla owner is now dead after hitting a tree. Darwinian selection in action.

What is surprising is that the vehicle would know the speed limit so this was a crash at 30mph into a presumed stationary tree and the result was a catastrophic fire that the local fire brigade could not control.

I don't consider it a good advert for Tesla. Also if it had no autopilot enabled and no-one sat in the drivers seat why did it not stop?

Safety interlocks are supposed to prevent clueless muppets from killing themselves.

You seem to have a problem with logic. A unproven hypothesis is just that. It might be true in which case I turnout to be not a liar , but a prophet. You have stated that you will not reveal your net worth, which suggests that you believe that my claim is likely to be true.

Martin Brown's profile photo Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerburg did not earn any degree. But I think Harvard worked well for them. I did not do as well as them, but I think it worked well for me. I got to take courses from Iversen, Skinner, Galbraith, and become friends with many of my classmates. And made enough money to live comfortably .

Better university, higher IQ, and probably more money.

An important matter for Tesla is to find ways of dealing with the lies people spread about them, like yours.

Why do you need to lie about events?

Certainly a bigger twit factor. You are acting like a 10 year old on the playground.

Really?

But you are asserting it as if it were a fact.

Somebody who thinks that god tells him truths not revealed to lesser mortals. we'll take you seriously after you have performed a miracle to two.

It might suggest that to you. Most people would see it as simple prudence,

And they have both earned a certain amount of notoriety. Linus Tovalds has done a lot more for operating systems than Bill Gateshas . If Mark Zuckerburg had done a better job with Facebook, the Russians might not have been able to do as much for Donald Trump in 2016.

Less well for the rest of the world.

It might have done as much as much for you as anybody could, but it doesn't seem to have been able to make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

But a bit silly with it.

Can you be more specific?

That's exaggerating the extent of the fire.

The fire was controlled within minutes, then the fire crew correctly kept the battery cool with copious amounts of water for four more hours to avoid re-ignition.

"The main fire, Buck said, took about four minutes to extinguish, along with flames that had spread to the trees and foliage around the car. However, a puncture to the car’s titanium battery case on the bottom of the Tesla led to the long night."

For starters, "a catastrophic fire that the local fire brigade could not control" is not substantiated by the facts. The fire chief said the fire was out after a very few minutes, 3-5 I believe. They remained as they do with nearly any fire to deal with flareups.

When I was a kid the city fire department set practice fires in a derelict farm house behind our place. An hour or so later the fire department had to return to deal with a major conflagration as they left some embers. It's not smart to leave a fire until it is actually out 100%. That's not at all the same as a fire not being under control.

I take it you missed this statement?
