You're probably talking about Peter's Pence collection contribution which is just pocket change (a few millions). Dioclesian revenue, lease income, Vatican's wealth fund generate billions. Lets not forget state support which the US doesn't have - for example if you register as a catholic in Germany 8-9% of your income tax goes to the church directly - to the tune of about 6 billion per year altogether.

Sure - and Plato once said: "Quotation marks are always a sign of absolute truth."

Comments so far are sort of singling out the "negatives" i.e. make it seem like 40yo just don't want to put in the time anymore (for one reason or another) but the article also mentions stuff like:

- At 40+ you're more judicious about where you put your energy

- In your 40s, you have some accumulated wisdom: you recognize patterns faster and are more willing to change course

Do I have the blind faith to grind it out 5+ years in a stagnating startup on an off chance it might take off someday - especially if I've done that before? Looking for a better way is not always a bad thing. On another hand - my 20yo self wouldn't have believed my 40yo self - some things you just have to live through.

I thought it was already encoded with SynthID? could that not be used to detect it?

Not really a fan of the design - too rough for this world and too fragile to survive Mad Max ;)

Plenty of Tesla design concepts online that were way better: https://www.behance.net/gallery/78909965/TESLA-Pickup
