He's such a sociopath. The whole thing about him admitting he tricked his assistantproducer into dating him by deflating her tires is another example of that.
Because most of those institutions aren't about teaching any more, it's about soliciting donations from wealthy people, building fancy buildings named after billionaires, and managing all that money.
He's basically doing a scream test, you shut off something, and if nobody comes back to you asking why it's down, you can assume nobody was using it, and you can just leave it shut down. If it was needed, you just spin it back up.
Obviously that's not a huge issue with computers (although you'll have a bad time if you do it across the board or with backup systems), but you can't do that shit to people (or in this case animals).
He's doing silicon valley stuff to real life, and you just have to be a complete idiot to think that's a good idea.
Nice, thanks. Because the only way I'd survive the apocalypse would be as part of a community, I'm not exactly the warlord type. And plenty of people in the thread are on board with the same idea, so I'm fine with sharing spez.
I mean, Disney still managed to leverage their market position to go from nowhere to bring the top streaming service, just on the back of their intellectual property portfolio (which is a government granted monopoly, obviously, because for all their talk of free markets, they don't actually want a free market).
Still, none of those people seem to think things through or even think long term.
Yeah, the previous state of flawed democracy was perfect for business and maintaining the status quo. Now they went even further into autocracy and now they're basically at the mercy of Trump's whims. It's throwing long term planning out the window and the new game is just sucking up to Trump and finding novel ways to bribe him.
Musk basically spent a quarter billion dollars to lose a 100 billion dollars more on top of that.
The codebase is old, like mostly procedural PHP. It's got a long history of security issues, and is just a pain to work with. And it's run by a megalomaniac who doesn't seem to understand what running an open source project is about.
There's probably stuff they could do, but not the filibuster. I mean, they could use the filibuster on every other thing in the senate, and they definitely should do that. I'm definitely not interested in making excuses for them.
They definitely do have leverage that they're not using.
How? It's in the house now. The senate isn't doing anything. Typically the house comes up with a bill, the senate comes up with a slightly different bill, then in reconciliation they work out a compromise and vote on that.
