They also are more scared of nuclear war than inflation, but those aren't their choices. Inflation is bad creditors; the value of the debt inflates away. Also, the right wing, which seems to attract more wealthy people, has long used fear of inflation to support their ever-smaller-government campaign; they say government spending will cause inflation (when someone from the left is in office).
Universal Healthcare is also a toy problem, but a true albatross concept beunricratically in the US. I say it’s a toy problem because we literally have copy and paste templates from most of the western world that we can use.

Flipping that rocket and getting NASA contracts to go actually do it against Boeing/Lockheed/etc is not a toy problem.

I don’t want to say it would never have happened without Spacex, but probably it would not have happened in our lifetime.
Note: Speculation.

Without actually reading the ToS properly, I imagine you're good if your org is paying for your seat in their org (as opposed to a free org, but if it's a company with private repos I'd assume it's the case). That'd be reasonable.

If reality is that you actually meed individual billing for each individual account, that would be kind of crazy and I hope that's not the case.

Corporations have to follow guidelines/rules/laws in order to be in good standing. If the corp is sued, the corp will have to respond to discovery requests from the plantiff's attorneys. In the past, so many companies have deleted emails so that they did not have to turn over incriminating evidence has lead to laws being passed that require a minimum amount of document storage. I don't know the details other than it is a thing.

Sorry I wasn't clear. My point was that people now focused on rising wages causing inflation are typically wealthy professionals (such as in SV). I imagine a different response if someone attributed it to the wealthy people's income.

Given the fact that journalist Clarissa Ward was easily able to find one of the assassin's that attempted to kill Navalny, convince him on a unsecure phone line that she was a KGB official and they needed to immediately meet, and then show up to his apartment, that was an outright slum ( yes - their state assassin's live in slums )

I guess the difference between me and a billionaire is I don't try and turn all my dumb ideas into products. Eventually if you throw enough crazy ideas out there and refine them I guess some of them work. I am still awestruck at the stuff SpaceX does.

I don’t think “viral evolution” is a correct way to describe mutations during viral replication.
Autoconfirmation occurs after 4 days and any 10 accepted edits to the encyclopedia. It's purely an anti-abuse mechanism. To a first approximation, nobody needs to use AfC --- if the article they want to create is literally the first thing they've ever done on Wikipedia, they will need to wait 4 days and fix 10 typos to prove they're not a bot, and then they're off the races. If they've ever created an article before under their account, AfC is 100% voluntary.
Haha, and then in 10 years when He announces X you will say: “since he’s had great success in pioneering self landing reusable rockets, starting a colony on Mars, pioneering the EV market, pioneering Robo taxis, making the first commercial humanoid robots, moving traffic underground, adding computers to people’s brains, he has now fallen for the idea that he can easily repeat that success in other areas like X”

This is going to be a good thread to come back to in 10 years. Maybe I’ll be completely wrong and need to admit I was foolishly optimistic in Musk’s ability, however, my guess is the parent comment will be hilarious/absurd in hindsight.
They seem to imply the use of work devices also for personal use; this is a risky practice with every company, don't do that.
Huge privacy issues aside, it is possible that the employer could claim property or at least some leverage on your personal projects if they can demonstrate they have been worked on using the company assets during work time, which especially in times of remote working is hard to define.
Use work devices only for work related activities (no personal surfing, email or social media) and do the rest on your own devices you are never going to hand over to your employer.

They were left wing.

Killing a lot of random people through the water supply is a very left wing idea, you'll see the general idea often on HN with anti-population rants without a clear way forward. A lot of don't believe Bill Gates and his development reduces population.

RISE hijacked a plane and ended up in Cuba.

And they were looking at putting it into food stuff and had aerosol models.

One of their ideas of putting typhoid in the water supply seems valid to me. If you put a drop of typhoid in a glass of tap water, I would have expected it to still be bad. Perhaps not, but direct injection into waterlines is easy. If the clusterfuck of bad reporting about them includes a bad analysis of typhoid and chlorined water lines, I wouldn't rule it out.

Mental illness also played a part.
Is there any reason to think absorbing lots of simple glucose or sucrose through your stomach lining is much better than than absorbing lots of fructose? A quick google suggests fructose tends to end up as visceral fat while glucose does the normal glucose thing and causes an insulin spike then ends up as glycogen, but it's not clear to me that either of them are very good compared to getting your glucose slowly from complex carbohydrates.

A guy won Nobel prize proving your quality of life or happiness does not improve above 75k. Thats what you need.

And in IT you dont need to do unpaid overtime or sacrifice your time with family to get to 75k. Everything above that and you are doing it on purpose cause you value money over family and personal relationships. And that is your choice. But that is not healthy and that should not be norm.

And if you need your workers to work 16h a day with unpaid overtime but they are refusing your workers are not lazy you are incompetent CEO. Or just evil level of greedy.
> To be clear, I don't think you have any obligation to the public

Tangentially: I know that's a norm (or almost one) but I think that they do, and that we all do. We are all responsible for our communities. Their state, good or bad, improving or not, depends completely on our actions.

First, no one denies that reusability is still not profitable. This includes Musk himself and heads of all the other rocket companies who have all made it clear they aren't pursing it because these is simply no business case for it. At best maybe recovering the fairings or engines could be profitable for now.

> The plan is to sell tickets at $400,000 each to get to Mars.

His Starship is set to hold 40 people on the trip to mars. That would mean he earns 16 million per Starship sent to mars. Each Starship takes about 8 launches to fully fuel.

He currently sells 1 regular launch for 50 million each, so your numbers just don't add up. This isn't a money making scheme.

In fact, Musk would be the first person to admit he isn't trying to make money by sending people to Mars. This is his passion project. In fact, the whole reason he created his Starlink business was to pay for his efforts to colonize Mars.

Tesla has nothing to do with rockets, so that’s all irrelevant. Tesla does not make the best electric vehicles. I doubt they’re sustainable in the future with more and more competition onboarding. For example, other car manufacturers rev their models every couple of years or so across dozens of models across several geographic regions. Tesla is clearly not able to do that with their existing three models. I guess we’ll see.

if they want to work because they have no life, that's fine and really none of your business. if you work for a company where working off the clock like this is accepted, then it should be taken as a red flag.

when employees are on the clock, there are protections established for both employee and employer. if someone is injured while on the clock, workers comp is at play as well as corp insurance. if someone is working off the clock and injury occurs, shit storms are coming. if you were clocked out and working because company expects it, you can sue them. if you were doing it on your own to be "a good employee", you can get the blame.

in terms of coders, say you're off the clock and you accidentally truncate a table while connected to production when you thought you were in dev. if you're off the clock, you can actually be accused of "hacking" and doing a malicious act by the corp. if you were on the clock, then they would have a harder time with those accusations.

on the other end, i've worked for companies that were very good on the on clock/off clock recognition. if you were on a paid vacation and the company needed you to answer a call or respond to email, they would credit you that vacation day back even if it only took 5 mins. i miss that company. best work/life balance company i every worked.
I've been out of that business for a long time now, but short answer is yes, absolutely. Yes, it might create problems - there is always and has always been tension between editorial and business. This can definitely be a problem at the local level, it's gonna be hard for a small paper to run a negative story about a big industry or company that's the biggest employer in a town or region or that advertises heavily in the paper, eg real estate firm or the like.

I have had stories spiked because they were 'too political' and that sucked. And I've quit jobs for ethical reasons (though not in that same context), which also sucked. I think your criticism is valid but I also think that an overly ideological analysis - which a guy like Noam Chomsky does a lot - can mislead one into oversimplifying a complex picture. Understanding the idea and mechanics of manufacturing consent is important for media literacy and political understanding. But it's a rule of thumb to keep in mind when consuming media, not an iron law of social behavior; if you start assuming that everyone in the media is part of a giant consent-manufacturing conspiracy, then you can fall into a different cognitive trap that is just as bad as uncritical acceptance.
Most of these companies offer a BYOD option where you explicitly agree to co-mingle work & personal use of your phone -- upto & including paying your cellular bills. This frequently means signing waivers permitting surveillance, installing corporate applications, surrendering the phone upon termination, and placing everything on the device at risk of subpoena.

When the company is subpoenaed, they aren't going to give you the chance to delete data from "evidence". This is probably what happened here.

this just.. makes no sense. this doesn't play to Tesla's strengths or synergize with their existing R&D. Sensors for proprioceptive feedback are still immature, reinforcement learning for robotic motion is still in its infancy (Boston Dynamics did it the old fashioned way with differential equations and tons of work.) ...and you don't need any of that for cars, even with Autopilot. Turning steering wheels and accelerating is trivial compared to walking. Computer vision, sure, maybe, but that's a lot closer to solved than controlling a humanoid robot.

It’s far easier to blend. Otherwise you’re carrying multiple devices. To each their own, but you’re going to have a hard time debugging anything or living on your own new features if there’s zero personal real data in use.
Interesting. In Europe, with a credit card, you can effectively just say to the bank “nah I didn’t pay this” and it’s on the bank to prove otherwise (it’s harder/impossible where pin was used but in the web it’s fair game). Debit cards have protection for outright fraud (and even then somewhat limited), certainly no “umm no” simplicity.
Yeah the Twitter OP is wayyyy off base here. No one compels employees to merge accounts???? What the hell is this story even. This feels like someone with an axe to grind, and external readers are none-the-wiser to reality internally at Apple.

If 50% of your market is offended by it you won’t talk about it.

For media that caters to the other 50% it’s still a complex subject for media sound bites.

Also you don’t have to be a “creationist” to not believe, although I guess it depends on that definition. But creationist makes it sound like it’s a tiny minority extremist group. Year after year multiple studies put non belief of evolution at at least 40%. I can almost guarantee a significant percentage of the media are likewise skeptical or non believers of evolution (they may be rather reserved and personal about it, but still effect their judgement or assessment of reporting on the topic)
> The problem is culturally pushing some neopuritan nonsense, always in a highly selective way as you can always find a ton of contradiction

But are you willing to argue the same for every minor group of content/business that gets selected out but the same economic model ?

We'll be pushing en masse against banning porn. Will we also be doing the same for every single category of legit business that credit card companies won't touch for any reason they feel like ?

That seems highly unrealistic to me, and we're basically saying to minority groups that the day Mastercard doesn't want them as customers they're done and done.

This is good because it will mean an upsurge of competitors. I personally know several.

In general, internet is mostly about porn or sex (Tinder, Facebook which is really for hookups when it's not for paid political propaganda), or for illegal activity (fintech, darknets) or for scam (adtech, freelance sites). I wonder what people who opt for "none of the above" are thinking.
The underlying cause of the problem of the "$200 asprin" isn't a fundamental problem of healthcare, it's a fundamental problem of the wacky health system of the USA which is—I assure you—the envy of no other first world country.

While it is true that the US health system excels along certain narrow metrics (it's particularly well optimised for providing cutting edge care to the affluent) it is poorly optimised for serving the needs of the median citizen. And it's a dumpster fire when it comes to distribution and affordability.

The solution exists, and that's to stop doing the broken thing.
I wouldn't call it a "massive issue". If you have a reputable ecom business your rates of chargeback and fraud should be quite a bit under 1%. Adult businesses however can have triple or even greater than that.

If you can't absorb 0.5% in loss, then you shouldn't be in ecommerce. Same thing as being in bricks and mortar, if you can't absorb shoplifting you shouldn't be in business.

Nix is really cool for demos like this, but seems to get complicated if you need to grab specific versions of a dependency. At last check, that involved digging through the history of the package/channel, grabbing the hash of the package corresponding to the desired version, and then referencing the package by hash, all with basically no tool support?

For system that is so proud of allowing multiple versions of dependencies to coexist, it seemed surprisingly difficult to actually find and use specific versions of a dependency in, you know, applications.
I work for Apple. It’s not just marketing. It’s in every discussion in every feature. Even the current CSAM implementation is actually all about privacy if you read the details on how it’s implemented.

That doesn’t even make sense. Mutations either will have no effect, or increase or decrease the viruses ability to spread and replicate. It’s basically the definition of evolution.

On top of which viral genomes, especially RNA viruses, mutate at such a rapid rate, evolution occurs quickly.
