Pedantic counter-example and Exhibit A: The endless litany of unraveled crypto scams that keep getting bigger and better, year over year. There's one that's going bust right now.

It's the poster child for a perfect market environment, where everyone involved is simply trying to optimize their returns, and there are next to no rules. It's also full of hucksters, thieves, conmen, liars, and flat-out frauds, to the utter detriment of any legitimate commerce in the space.

The more negligent and incompetent methane emissions become, the more carbon credits will be devalued.

Do you consider methane leaks as a 10 year investment plan? There is no tracing where the co2 came from once ch4 turns into co2 (we've had methane leaks for decades). :)

https://www.epa.gov/natural-gas-star-program/estimates-metha...

The opportunities for fraud have already been proven.

There is no money (gdp) in preventing methane leaks and we get the upside of higher temperatures and carbon credit manipulation.

Carbon credits schemes profit from neglect. The "save the world types" just chased co2......
There is always a fresh supply of extremely bright engineers from Stanford/MIT/Berkeley and thousands of universities who will have trouble finding jobs in a hiring freeze environment and wouldn't mind working for a startup like Twitter (driven by mission and large upside with equity if successful).

By invading Ukraine, Putin has achieved the exact opposite he wanted to achieve. The West is now more united than ever and more Russia border countries are going to join NATO. On top of that he has destroyed Russian economy. Tell me how that's not stupid?

But he likely saw the alternative as Ukraine in NATO, colour revolutions spreading to Russia, and ending up like Gadaffi (whose gruesome death he was said to have watched on video over and over again).

Probably he regrets not doing it sooner, when the Ukranian military was in much worse shape.
That's not a superlative, plenty of people had that opinion before three years ago, and sure, why not, it's a web forum.
> it's easy to make mistakes, even for the most honest brokers, when handling other people's money.

If I accidentally charge the wrong card, I can reverse the charge in a few seconds; it's beautiful. The credit card system is amazing. I even forgot my card once, and learned how to use my iPhone in its place.

With crypto...well, transacting is like programming except when you make a mistake you lose money. There are no safeguards. Like, sure, it's technically my fault for sending $400 to a null address, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm upset about it! And I consider myself somewhat tech savvy...imagine the customer complaints!
No, Tesla and SpaceX. Plus Neuralink, but Musk isn’t involved in the operations there.
Good Riddance
I meant no disrespect, just an educated guess since there has been no major war after WWII..

I'm mainly talking about the difference in strategy/posture during wartime vs peacetime.. Just look at whats happening in Ukraine rn, Russia changing commanders to go full scorched earth.

To save a company like Twitter, this is exactly the kind of thing u need to do. Private equity does this all the time.
I’ve been researching stainless myself. I’m far from a fancy chef, hell I’m far from any kind of chef! But I’m looking for something more durable and low-maintenance. Cast iron/carbon steel both have the mysterious “seasoning” to keep in mind. Stainless appears to require the right amount of heat, and that’s about it.

I cook a lot of eggs, and no meat at all, so if and only if a quality stainless pan works as promised when heated properly, it seems like the best fit for my needs.
"It has to be done" isn't helped by "throwing money at schemes that don't do what they claim to do on the tin." Especially when, by people doing that, they feel that they've "solved the problem" and can go on consuming as they have been.

To a certain group of people, "carbon offsets" are more or less the old church "indulgences" - permission to {sin, emit} with the consequences covered. And if that money is doing nothing but enriching some people in the middle while not actually doing anything useful ("We'll not cut down this forest... that we we weren't planning to cut down anyway", or "Sure, we'll protect this land... and go clearcut the next mile over because we don't care where the ranch goes"), it's worse than nothing - because you've now "granted permission to emit" while not actually offsetting anything.

That's not how it should be, but it's certainly how a lot of people perceive it to be. "Oh, it's fine, it's carbon neutral, I have an offset subscription" vs having to actually face that their carbon emissions aren't being offset.

So I don't think it's fair to say that people asking questions about "Is the money being paid doing what it's supposed to actually do?" are pro-carbon or something. There's a lot of outright fraud in that space, and an API that smooths the friction of larger fraud isn't something useful. If you're going the wrong way to your stated destination, going that wrong way faster isn't helpful.

Now, can I have all your surplus money to put into solar farms somewhere? Don't ask if they're in coal heavy territory or somewhere with a bunch of nuclear /hydro, it doesn't matter, right? We have to do everything we possibly can!

... except the one thing that would make a difference, which is consume radically less.

It's pretty obvious that Musk is willfully (or ignorantly) forcing people out of the company in order to pre-filter before layoffs.

If you're at Twitter and can get a job elsewhere, don't panic. Save up, apply elsewhere, quiet-quit but DO NOT QUIT. Make them fire you or lay you off. MAKE them payout the severance! Don't let Musk toss you out for free.
Oh, probably. But it's a great argument not to unionize, especially so because the employees are supposedly very valuable and will not have trouble finding a new company that will pay similar salaries and give them permanent WFH. Unions are for the masses, not the elite.
Years ago, I had inherited a complicated C code base with some clever Makefile jujitsu. None of the recent maintainers understood it at its core. They just put a little lipstick here, and a little there to keep things running.

I sat down and extracted the compiler/link flags, and then wrote a Python script to do the build. The code was smaller, and built faster.

Every “build” engine evolves from being a simple recipe processor to the software equivalent of a 5 axis CnC mill. Some things should not succumb to one size fits all.
Didn’t need to be too competitive when you had 11x stock growth. Will be interesting to see if things change now that their stock is flatish.
That's a very funny spin to still make Elon look good in all this.
Both the previous administration and the current one have expressed issues with those companies, and they couldn't be more opposed to one another.

Most of these big companies are anticompetitive at the very least. Every acquisition over the past decade has been a move towards oligopoly. Add to that widespread union-busting behavior, manipulation of the American people by spreading political or foreign psyops, exerting control over self-contained markets, etc... there's a lot of behavior that's been allowed over the past few decades that should have been reigned in.
Check out "Uber is a bezzle" by Cory Doctorow. His allegation is this scheme:

1. Early VC funds are used to subsidize Uber rides at a loss to Uber.

2. The deep discounts made Uber attractive to drivers and customers.

3. Uber's soaring popularity attracts more investment in Uber stock.

4. Uber's early investors cash out. Society is harmed as later investors lose their money, Uber drivers who invested in vehicles can no longer get work, public transit ridership is hollowed out, etc.
> 2. same as the competition - collusion, price fixing

Only true if you arrived at those prices via collusion

> 3. higher than the competition - gouging, profiteering

In the US gouging is pretty much always legally defined as "raising prices by [xx%] in the immediate aftermath of a civil emergency on necessary items". People might use the terms colloquially but that doesn't make it illegal.

No it isn't, that's what limit orders are for. There's still the exact same counterparty risk there anyway, in the form of USDC. Circle is another big dodgy centralized provider. The major critical flaw with all this defi stuff is that it can only reliably trade cryptos for other cryptos. Once you actually try to get any of it out into real assets, the counterparty risk immediately comes back again. No crypto defi stuff can ever solve that. The idea is just bad, it's a scam from the very beginning.
So far I've been using Earthly for structuring builds, and it's been brilliant for the most part. Dagger was interesting but a no-go without Python, so curious to see how it stacks up.

Coca Cola is the classic example for this sort of thing. However, I feel that something is off on that story. For one, the brand has moved on from the "classic" with basically no fanfare. Similarly, they have marched on from the recipe, again with no fanfare. I remember a case study once that showed that they actually did taste test the changes and that, at large, the change was the one that was liked by more people. However, the narrative got out of their control and the perception was that the old way was better. So, they cashed in on that and basically used the event as a way to re-establish their brand. Very odd story.

Would be interesting to see what the others are like. The GAP is an odd one, to me. As they, notably, don't have branding on their clothes. At least, not universally? (Do I just not see it on the ones I'm checking?)
You're totally right, but "we suspect there's a hidden volume" and "this machine is clearly locked, unlock it" are two very different situations. The prosecution and even the judge might be convinced that it's extremely likely that you have a hidden volume, but that's not the same as compelling you to unlock a phone. It's the difference between "you are ordered to open the secret safe we suspect exists."

Indeed. My father said it this way, rather well: there are many more failed assholes than successful assholes. Do not attribute success to being an asshole.

Incidentally he was a failed asshole. All his staff deserted him and watched his business burn to the ground. Perhaps ironically a big fan of Musk too.
Now in my mid 20s, I feel like I am experiencing that part of my life of "when I grew up". It is incredible how far camera technology has come in phones.

Not just the cameras but the ability to send the image. I remember sending an MMS and not really being guaranteed the receiver would get the image. Perhaps they didn't have MMS enabled, or have a device able to receive images, or they didn't have a large enough phone plan to send/receive MMS's.

Now days, sending an image is just part of the furniture.

A part of me would like to rewind and see what the world was like without social media.
The approach has the downside of creating cruft RFCs, yes. But does that make it bad? Ossification is a real problem. What analysis are you doing which forces you to conclude that a few cruft RFCs is worse than the practical problems they solve? Or is there some other mechanism you'd prefer which achieves the same result but without cruft RFCs?

That it's cushy (it is!) does not change that it's not a capital position.

Your average tech worker makes company owners orders of magnitude more than your average factory worker, and are paid what they are because they can demand it. Business owners would pay less if they could. Why shouldn't tech workers, like any other worker, try to maximize their own lot in turn?
As others have pointed out in comments on this post, banks typically don't loan out customer funds and instead use them as reserves. For loans, banks can create money out of thin air and just increase the number representing the borrower's bank account balance in a database somewhere. Interest is to incentivize adding more reserves to their balance sheets which in turn allows more loans (with considerably larger interest rates) to be given out
I am also a legal immigrant, and it was kinda easy being one because of the luck of being born in a particular set of circumstances.

Ask for a raise and don't bring up the job offer. If they say no take it.

Bringing up the offer may get her a raise until they can backfill. It may result in no raise and her getting backfilled.

Only tell your employer about your offer if you plan on using it and if you are planning on using it why bother asking for a raise.
Good point. I like the look of these fonts but upon noticing your point I decided I won't use them.

> Notice how He re-discovers everything that people were saying about running a social media? I think His hands on micromanager approach is good for finding a solution through iteration.

This works well in a startup whose business position is a kind of blank slate and you have lots of VC money compared to you run rate, but when your existing business relies on established trust in the market, uninformed blind rapid iteration that harms brand position and existing relationships adds additional problem while you are exploring the solution space for the preexisting problem.
It would be a remarkable bit of luck that Elon stumbled into both Tesla and SpaceX, took on the role of lead rocket designer at spaceX, built both companies into unlikely leaders in their industry with powerful people trying to crush them all the way, while being a total idiot.

A similar but more charitable theory is that Elon is very good at leading a company to build actual hardware that has to solve hard physics problems. At twitter the primary challenge is managing people, and he is autistic and has no idea how to do this. He has no idea how normal people experience or use twitter, no idea how his tweets are felt by people, no idea how his employees feel about him etc.

all of these are things that don't matter when building a rocket or a car, while understanding people and politics is the ONLY thing that matters at twitter.

And after all this, Twitter still does not have a viable business model."

You clearly weren’t in the real estate market in 2008, I suggest you google “real estate short sale”.

If you loan someone money to buy a house, you are betting that either they will be able to pay or that the market will appreciate enough that all of the costs of foreclosure and resale will be less than the sale price of the house.

Both things being false at the same time in 2008 ruined Lehman brothers because they had the same thought you’re expressing here. Their gamble didn’t pay off.
