I had this same thought for a while, but I think the answer is simpler in reality. In my opinion, he has an ego problem, and his companies are his best way to feel important (or whatever emotion he craves). I don't know whether that was always the case, but to me it seems apparent that is what he has been doing for the past few years.

I think it started happening when he realized there was no next big-idea which his companies could actually solve. After Tesla made electric cars trendy and influenced the market (actual accomplishments), his next idea was self-driving. Maybe he didn't know enough at the time or thought he could make it happen quickly, he promised big and failed but can't admit it. So he tried to pull the next shiny thing out of the hat, Cybertruck, semi, solar-roof, roadster, smart-summon, boring-tunnels, Hyperloop etc. They also kept failing or are coming soon TM. For some time SpaceX delivered, but right now they also don't have anything new shiny to show.

He's trying to desperately stay relevant, but all his ideas are staring to crumble or are a lot harder to solve than he cares to admit. He started to become edgy, and it spiraled from there. Him being forced to buy Twitter because he couldn't get out of the joke he made, is probably his worst nightmare. His 'coming soon'-excuse isn't working on Twitter, and it's a very public humiliation should he fail. I actually think he is very similar in this regard to Trump. A big sense of self-importance and a need for affirmation which can't handle rejection is what I personally thought his presence at Chappell stand-up showed. I also think that is the reason he is appeasing the right so much. They give him a lot of attention and don't criticize him.
Socialism is when the workers own the means of production. What you’re describing is a welfare state, which is a feature of every capitalist society that I’m aware of.

It is often a bad bet in the long run to associate your brand with specific conservative causes.

Conservatism, and right-reactionary thought, often exists as a critique or skepticism of the ideology and programs that progressives and leftists wish to enact. Sometimes the criticism is warranted, and this skepticism is an important part of civil discourse. Inevitably however, sometimes progressive causes will win and overcome their detractors. If you tied your brand to a critique of gay marriage, the Civil Rights Movement, or women's suffrage, your brand would face far more damage than being critical of rightist causes.
> You cannot hack Newton's 2nd law without changing Relativity

Yes, changing some aspects of relativity is what will ultimately happen. We already know relativity is technically incorrect because of its singularities.

And yes, you absolutely can hack Newton's 2nd law if it's empirically supported. It's frankly bizarre that you keep insisting that you can't do this.

> which means changing basically everything in physics

Don't be ridiculous, GR absolutely does not have an impact on "everything in physics".

> No, these are not just tests within the Solar system.

I didn't we've only tested GR within the solar system, I said GR was only well tested within the solar system. There's a big difference and you seem to have a habit of attacking strawman like this.

Many light themes also increasingly suck, because they're just dark themes dunked in a can of white paint.

Before the dark mode fad took off, people used to just do UI design and make interfaces that were just that - interfaces. They weren't attempting to be obsessively light or dark, so we got a wide variety of things in app UIs and the UIs didn't shy away from borderlines, shadows, color, darker elements in an otherwise not very dark UI, etc.

Then dark mode happened, and everyone wanted to design dark mode things. Dark mode makes small contrasts more legible (IME) and makes colors really, really pop. So you can easily design very flat UIs without anything in the way of borders, and small bits of color are really dramatic and eye catching.

Not-dark colorscapes feel really different - small contrast differences aren't as salient, you can use dark elements in the UI without disrupting it much. Borderlines and drop shadows look great, really high contrast for text just feels nice. Color is a much more balanced part of the whole, so you can use it much more liberally and it'll just feel nice and balanced.

But those are not the UIs we get today. Humans love to categorize things, and they like pairs of opposites a lot. If we have a specific dark theme, well, what do we call the other one? Light theme, of course. And in a disastrous display of nominative determinism, that's exactly what we've gotten afterwards: Designers have intentionally started making UIs that are actively light, and those are not designed specifically - most are just slapping white paint on the existing flat dark theme, or otherwise obey those same design sensibilities with light grays on white and minimal use of color.

Why would anyone want to use light themes if they constantly get designed wrong? The proper contrast people should be working with isn't light and dark theme or white and black theme, but colorful and intentionally dark.
Thanks for that headline from The Onion ... I definitely spit out my coffee at the second half it.
> The promise of globalization was primarily about improving economic efficiencies, not liberalization. Has it succeeded in that regard?

Another goal in which it succeeded was in preventing major wars between the superpowers. US and China are so co-dependent in their economies that they can't declare war against each other. Russia less so, but, still, they can only engage through proxy wars.

Where it failed is that these long supply chains are incredibly brittle and chaotic - a major shock puts the system in cascading collapse and it takes years to recover it to a workable state. This TSMC investment is a response to those collapsed long chains.

Another failure was the promise to deliver better living standards to everyone. What happened is that industrial jobs in the developed countries were shipped to developing ones, favoring places where labor is so unregulated that it looks like indentured servitude.
Airlines vs Silicon Valley are actually a good example of how the sort of business that is massively threatened by higher interest rates is often an actual real business solving real people's problems that just happens to be capital intensive, low margin and fairly predictable, not the solution in terms of a problem where the return on investment is claims of high margins and pure optimism.

High interest rates won't stop VCs looking for 20-40x returns under high uncertainty falling for a pitch about how everyone will use this dumb website in future, honest. (It might reduce the amount LPs put in and get out of VC as a sector, but there's no reason to believe this improves VCs' judgement)

But high interest rates are a major problem for an airline that has a few billion dollars of aircraft to finance, and lots of passengers but at low single digit profit margins.
> Capitalism's greatest success is as a sociopath-containment vessel.

i used to think this as well, but as time has gone on, i wonder more deeply about this... like what are the conditions that create sociopaths in the first place? what causes these people to act in such ways?

> Capitalism has managed to convince them that the path to world domination is making stuff and providing services for everybody else.

Point two reminds me of how some university professors make most of their money doing consulting and serving as expert witnesses.

How much longer will Tesla tolerate Musk as CEO? How much work is Tesla getting out of him these days when he's wasting his time on Twitter and stage appearances? How is he helping Tesla when he's alienating existing and potential customers with his petty antics and rants?

Only thought I have - the Bay Area is a very large place both population and footprint wise. If it doesn’t “seem diverse at all” that’s probably more a reflection of where one is within the Bay Area rather than the place itself.
This seems pretty gatekeeper-y. Who gets to decide which credentials are valid in this discussion and which aren't?
Honestly, Musk kind of reminds me of turn of the century industrialists (Ford, Edison, etc).

No formalized business training, no PR teams, no market analysis. They just had super brash (and often foolhardy) visions of what consumers would buy, took huge risks in bringing them to market, and brought in investors by charisma alone.

And I think you have to be born with the exact level of EQ to be smart enough to know what's possible and what customers would want, but be dumb enough to still throw yourself into the problem and ignore every reason previous attempts had been unsuccessful.
>you're supposed to be banned from profiting from any crimes you did ("Son of Sam law")

Not sure where you got this from? AFAIK that's a purely state level thing, and the first law that tried that in a broad way was unanimously struck down by SCOTUS as an unconstitutional violation of the 1A. And for good reason, when you step back and remember that "crime" itself can be very broad. It wasn't that long ago that homosexual acts could still be a felony in the US. There is a strong public interest in certain criminals sharing details of what they did with journalists after the fact too. New much more limited laws have passed that I think is still up, but the ones I can think of at least are specifically about compensating victims. IIRC the mechanism is to notify and then let them sue in civil court for a longer window. I don't think any of that would apply to purely government criminal action though for somebody who has already served their sentence and paid any fines.

You might be confusing those laws with conditions attached to federal plea bargains in certain kinds of serious cases (national security stuff like terrorism). Since those are individualized "voluntary agreements" [0] specific to a given case they can include things the government couldn't do as blanket laws or even necessarily win as penalties in court at all, and I know there have been agreements that included turning over any and all profits from publishing deals to the US government. But those AFAIK are the exception, not the rule. And they wouldn't have any applicability here either.

Also, there doesn't need to be any special law for victims who have successfully sued in civil court and won a damages award to then go after whatever assets the criminal has or gets down the road to cover it. This might as a practical matter "eliminate profits": if a family of a murder victim won $10m, defendant could only pay $1m, and then the defendant gets a $7m movie deal later, court may award all of the defendant's interest to the family to help satisfy the original judgement. But again, I don't think the Japanese government has any such cause here.

----

0: scare quotes around voluntary agreements since there is a lot of reasonable debate about overuse/abuse of plea bargains by US prosecutors. But at least legally they're pretty wide open for now.

The following can be done for free without an API key or Shodan account:

1. Grab the list of IPs that you've already identified and feed them through nrich (https://gitlab.com/shodan-public/nrich): "nrich bad-ips.txt"

2. See if all of the offending IPs share a common open port/ service/ provider/ hostname/ etc. Your regular visitors probably connect from IPs that don't have any open ports exposed to the Internet (or just 7547).

3. If the IPs share a fingerprint then you could lazily enrich client IPs using https://internetdb.shodan.io and block them in near real-time. You could also do the IP enrichment before returning content but then you're adding some latency (<40ms) to every page load which isn't ideal.

Apple is notoriously secretive about their decision-making. There's very little public information about the rationales behind even the most mundane decisions.

Exactly! This is a very good question that requires some context, preferably from within the field. What does it actually mean?

Sadly, however, the article doesn't seem interested in answering that question and providing the necessary context. Instead it quotes authors of books, who seem ecstatic about the possibilities.

You'd be correct in calling me a cynic when I say that I've heard the "too cheap to meter"-slogan from back in the 50s when nuclear fission was the future.

But I try hard not to be that guy and genuinely want the same question answered - is this an actual breakthrough and a significant milestone in the big picture? Up to this point it's been hit-and-miss and many so called "breakthroughs" turned out to be small steps in the right direction, but not exactly quantum leaps.
I do. I rule in favor of the person who claims to be claiming to be trained officially.

Definitely a lot of study in this, and much of it has shown there is a very strong sign that it is genetic and inheritable. As others have mentioned, twin studies and family studies have strongly supported a genetic component.

Doesn't mean there isn't also some nuture involved also, likely not the "over-stimulation" argument you make, but more likely the "if you have it, more likely to recognize it in your children" type of thing.

From the following link

> Decades of research show that genes play an vital role in the etiology of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and its comorbidity with other disorders. Family, twin, and adoption studies show that ADHD runs in families. ADHD’s high heritability of 74% motivated the search for ADHD susceptibility genes. Genetic linkage studies show that the effects of DNA risk variants on ADHD must, individually, be very small. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have implicated several genetic loci at the genome-wide level of statistical significance. These studies also show that about a third of ADHD’s heritability is due to a polygenic component comprising many common variants each having small effects.

> Family, twin, and adoption studies provide a firm foundation for asserting that genes are involved in the etiology of ADHD.

> Adoption studies suggest that the familial factors of ADHD are attributable to genetic factors rather than shared environmental factors

> A similar heritability estimate of around 80% was seen in a study of MZ and DZ twins, full siblings, and maternal and paternal half-siblings

> There can be no doubt that DNA variants in genes or regulatory regions increase the risk for ADHD. In rare cases, a single genetic defect may lead to ADHD in the absence of other DNA variants. We do not know how many of these rare variants exist or if such variants require environmental triggers for ADHD to emerge. It is equally clear that no common DNA variants are necessary and sufficient causes of ADHD.

It doesn't preclude environmental factors either:

> The convincing evidence for genes as risk factors for ADHD does not exclude the environment as a source of etiology. The fact that twin estimates of heritability are less than 100% asserts quite strongly that environmental factors must be involved. ADHD’s heritability is high, and that estimate encompasses gene by environment interaction.

Wait, that's not how central bank lending works - you seem to equate "not setting a rate" with "setting a rate to 0" and offering limitless lending to commercial banks at that rate - which is a very high level of intervention IMHO; I'd rather equate "not setting a rate" by the central bank reducing its participation in the interbank lending and stopping this injection of 0-rate money, in which case the interbank lending rate will become dominated by the actual market competition, because commercial banks can't arbitrarily produce money.
