We certainly don't and shouldn't blindly trust you, since all you're doing is attacking Wikipedia's reliability, instead of presenting any reliable facts or evidence or citations about the actual discussion topic himself, Elon Musk. Wikipedia is a hell of a lot more reliable than some random guy on the internet who doesn't have a point or any evidence, and has to resort to generically attacking Wikipedia instead.

Attacking the very idea that it's even possible to know the truth is what you do when the truth isn't on your side.

This is an absolutely awesome thing. Great job!
Just a note on the name from someone in the UK.

"fruits" is a slang term for testicles, as in "she kicked him right in his fucking fruits!".

I doubt it's the first thing folk would think of with "fruits", but thought it worth mentioning.

Naming is hard :/
If it's a civil case, it's just the preponderance of the evidence. The jury just has to decide who they think is more likely to be correct.
> The biggest downside to staff IME is that you are almost constantly reminded that you are a cost and at danger of being cut.

It seems like this shouldn't be an absolute that applies to all staff roles, just a sign of a company with an immature viewpoint on costs. Or even just an inconsistent one. Consider the electricity used to keep the office running, it's a cost, but no one would feel the urge to remind the utility company that it's a cost and therefore at danger of being cut. That "and therefore" isn't even true in general anyway. Pre-pandemic most would consider the risk of cutting the office electricity to be no higher than the risk of the company ceasing to exist for whatever reason, i.e. if the company goes the office also goes, and there aren't many other causes for the office to go for most companies so it's mostly vice-versa too. Similarly there are businesses basically entirely supported by staff teams/individuals doing maintenance of some old software, if they go, the business goes, and vice versa. Anyone trying to pull a "don't forget you're a cost and might get cut!" reminder on them would be an asshole. Meanwhile companies like Google have no problem killing off entire products and their teams (though I think they tend to re-purpose the programmers rather than officially lay them off) even though it's making on the order of ("only") $200m/yr in profit.

Sure, if people can get something for cheaper than they used to, or get rid of something they realize they don't need/want, there's incentive to do that and "cut costs" by that amount if they can, but this incentive applies regardless of the staff/line division. Maybe the cure is to remind line roles at such places that they too are in some vague danger.
If you're going to argue for wheat, then https://www.statista.com/statistics/190376/top-us-states-in-...

Kasnas, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Montana, Washington, Idaho, Texas, Colorado, Minnesota, Illinois.

https://cdn2.vox-cdn.com/assets/4565275/crop_value.png is likely a better approach that looks at the value per acre in food and the percent of animal products vs vegetable product. You can see Wisconsin dairy there, but there is a significant amount of green from North Dakota through Illinois and then down the Mississippi river valley.

The products can be seen at https://cdn1.vox-cdn.com/assets/4565283/crops_by_county.png showing that the Missippi and the Central Valley are fruits and nuts while Iowa is certainly Soybean and Wisconsin is corn... and wheat shows up too.

As to government handouts... that's an interesting thing to bring up.

> In fact, in setting up the prevailing system of dairy price supports and marketing orders in the late 1930s and 1940s, the U.S. Agriculture Department decided that the most efficient place in America for milk production was Eau Claire, Wis.

> Government officials then measured the distance dairy farmers in states such as Connecticut or Florida were from Eau Claire and, using a complicated formula, calculated their premiums and subsidies.

The further away you are from Eau Claire, the more the government helps the dairy industry.

So that California cheese? That's about as far away from Eau Claire, WI as you can get.

This changed a bit in recent times - https://www.minneapolisfed.org/article/2004/got-milc - but if you want to campaign against government subsidies and big ag, get rid of California cheese (and its associated water use).

I don't think award shows mean much anymore. To win these awards you're generally producing "Oscar-bait" and lobbying people in Hollywood as opposed to making something regular people want to watch. Content that wins awards are more likely to have been popular, but the causation is in the wrong direction. The only thing I could tell you about recent award winners is one of physically assaulted a comedian on stage. And I suspect that whole incident was planned just to get people to pay attention.

It's subjective to say Netflix hasn't had any must-watch content since Stranger Things, but I think their falling subscribers proves the point. In my mind there used to always be a few shows, and a solid collection of classics, that made cutting the subscription a tough sell, but now I have no reason to even consider re-resubscribing.

I don't have a path that I think Netflix should take to improve, and I'm certainly not qualified to be making those decisions. But they're doing something wrong in their current strategy, clearly.
Granted, a friend of mine who met him at a party around 2011 or 2012 in SF, her opinion of him was a "total dick"
I personally find SF Bay Area weather terrible, terrible. SF has the same weather year round and it is as follows:

* Uncomfortably warm during the day

* Uncomfortably cold during the night

* A lot of unpredictable and long-running showers, rain and fog

* A lot of cold wind year-round (especially summer, see below)

I found the following quote by Mark Twain very accurate:

> The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.

I also personally experienced that, although summers and winters in SF have the same weather (as explained above) somehow summers tend to be colder especially during night and in shades.

I think it just sucks. If you like that's great.
> Many inventors were very difficult, problematic people

Musk's not much of an inventor, though. Certainly, that's not why he's rich.

Part of the criticism of Musk is that the popular view of him is totally out of whack with what you get if you just look at what he does, and has done. He's not Tony Stark.
But property tax AFAIK (contrary to Germany)
I started to become concerned about Elon when I read his 2017 interview with Rolling Stone[0]:

> I explain that needing someone so badly that you feel like nothing without them is textbook codependence.
Musk disagrees. Strongly. “It’s not true,” he replies petulantly. “I will never be happy without having someone. Going to sleep alone kills me.” He hesitates, shakes his head, falters…

He’s been in desperate need of therapy for a long time. It’s sad in some ways. He is one of the most brilliant men alive, but he would be 10x happier and more effective if he worked on himself as hard as he works his companies.

Fair, i was mostly commenting on the scenario that the GP seemed to create.
Flooding rice fields in Glenn County is essentially 100% efficient because all of the water returns to the Sacramento River or recharges aquifers. Watering orchards in west Fresno County returns all of the water to the atmosphere via transpiration. Even though superficially a rice field looks wasteful, they are on two opposite extremes.

I really wanted to give this a try and guess, but unfortunately, there's the DALL-E watermark in the AI images, so I couldn't even try.

It would have been cool to also add the watermark to the non DALL-E images and then do the disclosure of what is what.

For those that don't know, the watermark is the bottom right rainbow squares.

When people make the argument OP is making they're leaving out that they don't want agriculture to leave. If it did, the state would probably go through a very long recession due to home prices diving and the economy tanking.

This story also has to do with California's centralization of economic power and influence, which is why so many water ways have been moved here.
Even if California had infinite water, there's something kind of "sad" about losing seasonality of various fruits and vegetables - it used to be that "strawberry time" was worthy of festivals (which still remain in many areas even though strawberries are available year-round at the store). And if you find a local place that does grow in season, you find that what we get at the stores aren't necessarily as good as they could be.

Shipping produce across the country (and across the world) has been a net negative for taste.
I think it's all about trade-offs.

For example, I can also point out that the latency on Windows, macOS are too high as these are general-purpose oriented systems. See this paper:

http://eecs.qmul.ac.uk/~andrewm/mcpherson_nime2016.pdf

Similar dilemma we have for the general-purposed browsers. To push to a limit, we can only resort to bare metal or Xenomai Linux like Daisy or Bela. But for the same reason we use Windows and macOS, we trade off some audio performance for a better overall experience.
Is he really a visionary? Because from what I can tell, he has roughly the same background reading science fiction and making extrapolations from current science to the future, and has made similar conclusions about the risks of not multi-homing humanity, and the challenge of building intelligent non-humans. That doesn't make him a visionary.

My conclusion instead is that Elon Musk is Chaos Titan; like the netflix chaos monkey, but basically just going around causing chaos by hyping up twitter and then causing massive swings with individual tweets.
The presumption that terraforming is merely the formulizing of chemistry and biology appropriately would be more convincing if it was actually achieved on Earth first. As far as I know, all "sustainability" so far is merely passing of the buck.

Still, even presuming "moon soil" can be made fertile with microbiological and chemical amendments from the Earth, who's to say whatever inert resource which may exist in it is capable of sustaining a self sufficient system once seeded? Perhaps all terraforming will ever be is the opportunity to neurotically dump a stream of the Earth's resources down a bottomless pit?

To be fair, the stock price is public info. It is generally understood that to take a company public you need a slightly higher offer and support of shareholders and/or board (Elon). So I could see how you could both be on roughly the same page re: price without talking about specific numbers.

I tried to buy something with ETH and it was a pain in the ass
And my point is that over the last 20 years or so, I found myself spending a lot of time wishing there was more cyberpunk content out there.

Also I'm pretty sure Star Wars and Star Trek were as big, if not bigger.

Yes, The Matrix had a huge impact -- I was there for it. But that was as much about the revolution in VFX and cool shots than it was about having a cyberpunk setting. Besides, all of the followups (save for the Animatrix) have been duds.

CP2077 came to be because CDPR likes to take unknown franchises and elevate them to greatness; this is true for both The Witcher polish novels and the Cyberpunk TTRPG. While I think the demand for cyberpunk is certainly there, as evidenced by the folks' enthusiastic support for CP2077, I would not consider cyberpunk to be the dominant force in sci-fi. (The lukewarm reception for both the modern Blade Runner remake and the new Matrix confirm this opinion for me) I would suggest you consider your thoughts in a wider context.

> two most inflential sci fi movies of all time

Can you qualify this statement a bit more? I don't really agree here. The Matrix doesn't even appear in this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films and the numbers here aren't worthy of the kind of praise you're heaping on it: https://www.the-numbers.com/movies/franchise/Matrix#tab=summ...

It wasn't even the highest grossing film the year it came out, as it was eclipsed by Star Wars: Episode 1.

Some water intensive crops like alfalfa are simply exported to global markets and are not even used for the domestic food supply. We have a water scarce region and plenty are in the business of exporting this water. IMO using a gallon of water on a lawn you can lay on here in CA is better than watering alfalfa that will be shipped across the ocean to feed a pig for a day in China. We can have an export market but we should set that up where there is plenty of water to export, not where there is currently a drought due to these exports and wasteful (read: cheap and/or highly profitable for the land owner) agricultural practices employed thanks to permissive water rights laws.
When I was a developer, I hated meetings, and just wanted to work on my feature as much as I could. Tell me what you need to have built, and let me build it.

When I switched to product design, I tried to respect the engineers' time by not scheduling synchronous meetings very often.

I would write documents that nobody read (or at least did not comment on) and record video demos that I know for a fact only about 25% of people watched. What I said to them was: "here are the designs, and here's why I did it this way, and if that makes sense to you go for it, otherwise let's meet to answer questions".

A couple engineers would reach out to me, most would never say a word.

At retro, the feedback I got was "design is not communicating, we want to be involved earlier in the process". Okay, great! Maybe I went too far in trying to free up their time. So, I continued documenting my work, but also scheduled a 30 minute recurring meeting once per week, to synchronously update the engineers on where the design was headed: here's what we heard from customers, here's what I'm thinking we need, are there any constraints I should be aware of, and do you have any ideas on how we could approach this differently?

Keep in mind that I'm still doing IC work on the design itself, and I'm putting in a lot of time documenting things for the engineers, and I'm attending way more meetings than them (this is the nature of design).

I thought these design syncs were going great, but the feedback at a later retro was "gah! too many meetings, we don't need a recurring meeting with design every week".

Since documenting things and scheduling meetings on an ad hoc basis was not enough communication, and 30 minutes a week was too much of a burden, and most of the team would not voluntarily engage in asynchronous communication anyway, I was sort of at a loss about how to make them happy.

My conclusion was that every engineer is different, and there is no magic bullet that results in perfect communication but does not "break flow". And since they are being paid for their time, I'm not going to try to tiptoe around scheduling meetings when I need to, to do my part of the job.

I don't think this is a good idea specifically, but I do think state acquisition is an under-utilized tactic. For example the SF-LA railroad would be much cheaper if the state simply acquired the Union Pacific, which would hardly cost anything compared to the total project. But according to our state law, eminent domain can only be used when the acquisition is minimal and there are no alternatives, so the state could only buy such things on the open market from willing sellers.
