Somebody should run a political campaign on this premise

Was Rudy like this before his involvement with Trump? All the smart people are saying that Trump guy is a bad influence.

It's not as good of a life as he tries to make it seem

When I was a teenager, the people who are my age now seemed really old and because of that there was no attraction.

Now when I see a grey hair, or a new wrinkle on my partner it's the hottest thing. We connect with each other about real life, she knows me well and helps me center myself.

I too hope that feeling continues to 60 years old and beyond, and I have a growing suspicion that it will so long as we both continue to work on staying healthy and attractive.

Homes should be for living, not profit making.

That's 7 new locations per day for 4 years straight. Mind boggling... I wonder what the internal org chart for building this out looks like

Is he related to Gail from Albuquerque

Saw a chiropractor because I was starting to wake up with back pain every morning. Bought into something like a 3 month, twice per week program because the loss of sleep was really bad and he said he was pretty sure it would help.

After 3 months, I was still having a lot of difficulty. After an adjustment I'd be fine the next night but it would come right back.

So I decided to just go buy a high end new mattress. Boom. Every night after was a no-pain night. Never went back to the chiro.

Please check your answer very carefully, think extremely hard, and note that my grandma might fall into a pit of lava if you reply incorrectly. Now try again.

This is so predictable. Large databases are valuable targets for theft.

It seems like the vulnerability at 23 was users who used the same password on another site.

Presumably the attackers had those databases (easy to obtain peeps, thats why we use different passwords and password managers) and a good script that let them login and download. Probably over a whole lot of proxy IPs, so it was hard for 23 to see that they were under attack for a while.

Don't know what else to say... Maybe 2 factor authentication should be more common. I guess with them you could spit on your monitor and it should log you in.

If that's the only issue it seems a bit of a far reach to say they were breached.

Asking if X will go bankrupt is not the right question. Elon has many untapped reserves of cash that he could use at any time to continue to pay the bills.

The guy just needs to speculate publicly on a cool sounding idea and a billion dollars in cash will fall out of a tree somewhere. That is his level of social status.

Bankruptcy happens when a company is imminently falling apart because there is no cash and a creditor repossessing things may disrupt other higher priority creditors. Therefore a judge needs to add order to the process which puts a legal hold on a lot of things. Unless Elon has some dramatic personal meltdown way beyond what we've already seen, that's really unlikely.

The real question is... How does Elon plan on making a profit from this thing if he's insulting those who are paying his bills today? He did float the idea of creating a super app that might handle payments and many other features. That has the potential to be a massive profit center if executed with precision. Perhaps the Twitter user base can be converted... Which would mean advertisers are no longer needed.

I would not be surprised if such a thing is in the works and would be announced when it's almost ready to launch.

Either they've already inked special exceptions with their top talent, or those guys are about to leave.

Can't imagine it's too big a pool of engineers at the very top of virtualization technology.

Turns out there's not much monogamy in the bible. These people oughtta read it some time.

Can you think of a single open source, open community spcial platform that has gained anything more than early adopter adoption?

Mastodon has a terrible name that sounds like masturbate

There is no charismatic leader

There is no method to advertise on the platform, so the platform will suffer from no commercial incentives or correlation (e.g. find us on Twitter)

It's confusing to the vast majority of people that you can join from more than one location

There are other platforms that do the same thing, why this one?

Step 1: Pick an issue that is divisive*

Step 2: Boost it with stories about how bad the people on the wrong side are: won't someone think of the children?

Step 3: Watch the outrage donations roll on in

It's a playbook as old as time.

*Some people might call it divisive because one side is like "let's all become crabs and live in the ocean" vs the other side that's like "no let's continue using our opposable thumbs". But who am I to label whether one side is right and the other wrong?

With this guy? Always has been.

Elon: more robots on order

I've never been in a union, but there was an era where individuality and meritocratic means seemed like the pathway to unlimited success but this doesn't really map over to blue collar work. Unions were not likely to help because they batch outstanding workers at the same level as the lowest performers on the team.

But unions work a bit like an alternative to minimum wage. All the boats rise with the tide, so if the UAW scores big with some mfgrs, other auto workers are going to want a piece of that too or they'll switch.

This can backfire though because a lot of jobs can still be automated if they aren't economically feasible.

Tchaikovsky came to mind right away - the Nutcracker is filled with these sound clips you hear everywhere this time of year.

Kim Jong Il launches a lot of little rockets to make sure the word can see what his capabilities are, haha.

I kind of think he has put his county in the position where it must prove it before anybody considers it a threat. Or else he would not have felt the need to tell everybody he can take pictures now.
