Twitter shareholders do. If I hold $1m in TWTR today, this deal going through is worth around 500K to me, possibly more if we assume the share value now prices in the buyout potential and will drop otherwise.

> Musk's misguided approach to free speech, which says anything that is not explicitly illegal is allowed, would have made Twitter an open forum for spreading lies and hate.

Twitter is of course currently known as a source of Truth and Harmony.

"anything not illegal is allowed" sounds decent to me; if you want stuff illegal, make it illegal. If you want unwritten laws dreamt up by anonymous elites and enforced for random reason, go talk to Tipper Gore and the PMRC.
Isn't that true in most countries?

Is there any place in the world that can claim to have a diverse, competitive Telco market?
Yes but it was clear (to all outside observers, not the board apparently) that Musk never intended to pay the agreed price. He was just collecting enough material from them to justify his breach, and fake users was a smokescreen. Their response to any questions/statements about fake users should have been the equivalent of "you signed the agreement, now stick to it" not "let's work together and resolve your issues".
Very bad source. I go into why in more detail in this comment, but to keep it short: his numbers are lies and he knows it too - some of his screenshots are photoshopped to preserve his narrative. He has an agenda - an anti-Elon Musk agenda - and has no intellectual integrity.

Read around and that thread a bit and you'll see that people confirmed my claims and that those who doubted it and checked his numbers themselves observed a three order of magnitude difference* in his cost estimation versus their estimate.

This isn't a source to get informed by, but one that makes you delusional.
The question isn't really whether it dropped or not but whether the perception was that it would have dropped more without that fig leaf.
Sure. The reasons where US shines & is able to draw talent is probably several of these:

* US is absolutely the leader in innovation. No doubts about it.

* Champion of democracy. The US political system & constitution has inspired a lot of other countries. Its a very immaculately drawn political system built on checks & balances

* High degree of choices to an individual to shape his life

* High degree of demographic diversity.

* Good quality secondary & college/university education.

* A general attitude to question the status quo - which is necessary to bring change.

* Secure nation militarily.

* Peaceful & cooperative neighbors, who engage symbiotically for the better of all stakeholders.

* High social mobility for a lot of people (not all but a big chunk).

* Good quality of life in general.

* Very high natural diversity & plentiful resources.

* Ability to shape the political climate to maintain world order.

Also it is a good place to know about tech interviewing in general, what to do, leveling, negotiation. It servers as a mini forum/guild for tech folks. It can be very helpful on that aspect.

The fix for this used to be that you'd just install the systems on different physical drives. Changing their boot order in Bios during install so Windows is going on the primary/boot disk. You then swap them back and update grub on your Linux side. When you use grub to boot windows it temporarily re-maps the drives before booting so that windows thinks it's the only OS on the primary drive and is happy without touching your grub setup on the 'real' primary drive.
There's a couple misunderstandings here.

> The robotaxi can only compete on price because that's its only advantage.

That's one advantage. Another is that that it's a third option to the traditional dichotomy of driving yourself or be driven by a stranger.

It's worth taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture. Robotaxis aren't the end-all-be-all for anyone. It's just a bounded problem domain with some promise of commercial profitability on the road to "full autonomy". A baby step, in other words. Yeah, the autonomous vehicles on the road today aren't clearly and obviously better than the best human drivers, but how are they going to get to that point without going through all the intermediate steps to get there?

Half right. Yes, TD has a lot of divisions, each separate: https://www.td.com/about-tdbfg/corporate-information/corpora...

But it’s also true that over the years, TD has had to merge systems and make changes. They’ve been operating in the US for about two decades now. So they’ve had time to merge and continue growing by merging companies in the US.

It’s true though. They aren’t entirely integrated across borders the way other companies might be. The plans and cards they offer in the US are a much better value than those in Canada, too.

> we used to put deliberately bad answers

That seems like quite a waste of time. Nobody forces you to take on a customer, so if you don't want them just say no and move on, instead of spending a lot of everyone's time to go through the motions hoping for the deal to break.
If you have only done 1.5-2.5 year stints (i.e., you do not have even one stint of 4 years or more), it is a problem, because it could mean one or more of the following:

Soft skills

- You do not get along well with your colleagues
- You do not get promotions, more responsibilities, raises, or you leave in order to get them (this is actually pretty common and perfectly fine from your perspective as an IC but managers will see it differently)
- You have not navigated a crisis or faced significant adversity at a company, so you are somewhat untested in this regard

Technical skills

- You have not worked on complex products at a high-enough level (it easily takes 2 years to gain expertise in a complex system and start contributing more than small features or bug fixes)
- You have not stuck around to support the mistakes you have made, so you have no actual experience. The "experience" part of software development comes primarily from this.
- You do not have a high-enough overview of product development and have not seen products go over a few cycles (even with cloud, software lifecycles are longer than 1-2 years and major iterations of products take a bit longer than that)

Managerial
- You haven't convinced a manager that you are management material. Management is a different job from engineering and it takes more than a year, easily, to convince a manager that you can be a good manager yourself (unless you have followed a manager from one job to another)
- If your companies are in different domains, you do not have enough domain expertise in any one area to leverage, and maybe you do not care about the domains you have worked in. You may not be suited to the line of work.
> I am constantly exposed to Covid positive people, including my own wife who got Covid, 24x7 and I did not do any social distancing at all. I still don't get Covid.

You did get Covid, you were just asymptomatic and probably didn't have a high enough viral load in your nose for the tests to detect it. If you even did test.
If someone's stock is as incredibly overinflated as Tesla has been for so long, choosing the most effective way to liquidate stock without triggering a run becomes a social engineering problem with the incentive of a multi-billion dollar payoff.

Honestly I think other people trying to read this situation in some way that ignores a multi billion dollar incentive just sitting there is utterly naive.

That's worked around, not really fixed. There are quite a few Clevo or other generic laptops that don't solder ram, storage, and wifi. That's 90% of what you care about. So framework's value add on top of that is not that high for the price premium. The expansion cards are perhaps useful, but I don't see the draw. Their barebones diy edition even before storage and ram is in the 1.2-1.5k range based on the processor. I find that a tough sell.

You misspelled fraud.
Amazon kind of gave up on discovery, at least for books, when they realized they could make more money running ads. I sell books on Amazon. Years ago, their book pages had two carousels of "similar titles" on each book detail page. Similar titles were selected by some pretty helpful algorithms based on what purchasers of the current title had also purchased, as well as some other secret sauce.

At the time, ads weren't very prominent, and they were profitable for authors. I could buy them for 5 cents a click and even if only one in fifty clicks resulted in a purchase, I made money.

Now, most of the algorithmic recommendations are gone, and for many ads, Amazon suggests bids of $2.50 or more per click. Those clicks bring in money whether Amazon makes a sale or not.

To some extent, they've given up on matching customers to the best or most suitable products. Why should they work that hard if ads are more profitable?

They've also had problems with piracy and counterfeits, as mentioned in this article. I heard a radio interview with a Target executive a couple years ago where a journalist said, "Amazon is underpricing you on everything. How do you plan to stay in business?"

She said, "We vet every product on our shelves. We know who makes it and where, whether it's legit, and whether it contains lead paint and parts kids can choke on. Try to find that info on Amazon."

The reporter didn't seem too impressed at the time, but the Target woman clearly saw where things were going. As the quality, authenticity, and reliability of Amazon's merchandise has declined, people are starting to notice.

I'm not sure this is a problem they will ever have the will to fix. While they break even or lose money on genuine goods they have to ship for free, profits from third party sellers and Chinese drop shippers keep the retail operation afloat.
Where did you get the "working with Twitter's lawyers" part? This letter is sent to Twitter's lawyers informing them that Musk is terminating the agreement.

The cat's out of the bag when community spread is confirmed like we see now. The time to take targeted measures for a community getting hit hard by it was a month ago when it was the dozens and low hundreds of cases. Now we're seeing 2k+ cases worldwide a day, and that's with very low testing. We need to shift into proper pandemic response mode--TETRIS, test-trace-isolate.

There is nothing inherent about the DNA of this virus that makes it target men, gay men, or men who have sex with men. It will infect any human in the wrong place at the wrong time, period.
for last mile ISP options, there are some very fortunate US counties in WA state that have

a) last mile dark fiber network operated by local public utility district which is also the electrical grid operator, and rents access to the fiber to 3rd party ISPs

b) local cable tv operator, legacy coax operator, often docsis3 cablemodem

c) local ILEC/POTS phone company that may or may not have overbuilt its last mile copper/DSL service with its own singlemode fiber and 1Gbps GPON service.

for primarily mobile phone carriers like rogers, there's an effective RF planning limit of around four major LTE/3GPP technology based operators in any given geographical area.

am intimately familiar with the same dynamic regarding Russia recently.

What you are saying is basically the same as saying war in Ukraine and oligarch money laundering merely justifies sanctions against ordinary Russians, Russian companies, depriving normal people of their livelihood, blahblah.

No. They are kleptocrats, both Xi and Putin, using violence against own people and posing tangible threats to free societies elsewhere. If you want to alleviate those threats yea unfortunately ordinary people will get affected, no way around it.

They can revolt but they won't. I know first hand how many people in Russia support Putin because they enjoy a nice lower-middle-class lifestyle now, incomparable to miserable lives of their parents. They thank Putin for that obviously.

What's important to remember is that it does not make them bad people, same as supporting Xi doesn't make Chinese bad people. The support is a consequence of propaganda, lack of education and so on, which is not individual's fault. If they are hurt economically, it's not because they are the ones targeted.

> And airlines. Rather, Airline.

I would dispute this one, only because in addition to Air Canada (fleet size 312), Westjet does exist (fleet size 162). And the other regional airlines offer (-ed, prepandemic) some price/service competition. Comparisons to the US aren't as useful with airlines as with some other industries due to population differences.
That still does not answer the question.

In a collective endeavor, which the administration of a state undoubtedly is, especially in a democratically structured system, each individual of course contributes negligibly on average. It is the aggregate of their activities that we end up looking at when we make these determinations. And of course some people pull more weight than others, and a few disproportionately so. But we all play our part, however small.

The expiration date is stored on the card, so expired cards wouldn't work. Revoked cards (eg. ones replaced by the bank) would, though.

Also The Declaration of Independence is more an aspirational document that has almost nothing to do with the Constitution when it comes to laws, because some pigs were more equal than others, i.e. slaves and native Americans and women could not vote, and we are still dealing with problems from those parts and the undemocratic minority rule enshrined in the Constitution.
> but it seems notable that Russia copied the verbiage that US published in support of invading Iraq, when they invaded Ukraine.

I don't think it is notable that Russia copied the verbiage of the US, this seems like a logical fallacy. Bad people will always quote the most powerful people to try and make a point, or try and weaken them. It doesn't mean it's good, it is just an irrelevant part of the argument.

We get it, but many think that this is an attempt to appear to decouple the search engine and the Adwords projects. People on both sides of the divide will be partly compensated with stock in the parent company, so everyone's financial incentives will still be to maximize profit for Google plus Alphabet/AdWords. So the "independent" company may still favor Google products.

But I suppose putting AdWords in a separate division might make it easier for antitrust regulators (US, EU or both) to pressure the company into a true spinoff (into a truly independent company).

These principles are too vague and there are far too many interpretations.

They’re so vague that we find some people trying to decipher what someone living in in the 1700s would think about society today instead of updating our laws and principles to suit modern times.

Convoluted example: “Well smartphones didn’t exist in 1776, so you don’t have a right to pursue happiness on that medium”.

It’s so frustrating to see such partisan gridlock where the voice of the actual citizens are not heard and translated into laws and regulations.
