Musk's family hates him. Like they actively go out of their way to speak against him. His father tweets shit about him, his grown children want nothing to do with him but will speak out against him, his ex... Well you could fill a book with that. His mother and his youngest child (who he uses like a prop) are the only ones that haven't publicly worked against him
What friends does he have? His billionaire buddies will make moves with him, but we've seen the text chains - it's all business. They barely react when he goes against his word... They congratulated him for buying Twitter himself after making plans to go into it together that he backed out of - no way that wasn't a backhanded compliment
Trump hates his guts... But sucks up to him. What friends does he have? He has sycophants, he has people eager to use him... But every relationship he has is based around the fact he's the richest billionaire. If he loses that, what does he have? Who does he have?
I mean, theoretically all original anonymous members are co-founders
It's nebulous, bu at some point t it went from an idea to a hacktivist affiliation. Anyone who got on board with the idea before they did anything could be fairly called a co-founder
They do exist... They're over at Lemmygrad.ml, I ventured over when I had the same question
Their ideology is a mess, they don't have a roadmap beyond "workers of the world unite, then we'll figure everything out". And some of them think China and Russia are communist, or at least socialist... Which first off, they're not, but more importantly they're authoritarian regimes, which gets glossed over
It's a fraction of the left, and a fraction of them are so focused on America bad they ignore what China does, and a fraction of them outright deny China or Russia have ever done anything wrong... I've encountered them online, but it's very rare - especially if you don't go looking for them
Obscurity is not security. We've learned a lot about security in the post 20 years, let alone the last 40
No, cobol is not more secure because it's a dead language. Obscurity is a hurdle, security is a wall - security is mathematical and good practices, obscurity is just being weird. It takes a bit longer to get past the weird, getting past a solid wall is a matter of luck or brilliance
It's possibly the oldest Democratic constitution, seeing as it's both based on English common law and Democratic. That being said, it doesn't mean it's good... It has provisions to allow it to be updated or replaced for a reason
But it allows for slavery extremely awkwardly - it's so obviously at odds with every point the document makes
Trump and Elon have gone through their life just fucking everything up. Really turning everything into dog shit
They had teams of people running around behind them doing their best with the chaos they leave in their wake... But those people often took their idiotic ideas and tried to reverse or misdirect them
So these guys started seeing this protection from their own incompetence as an obstacle. So they put a lot of work into removing them and replacing them with yes men and true believers
Now, more than anything, Trump and Elon are confused. They're doing what they've always done, faster and more directly than ever - and they genuinely seem baffled that people keep getting angry at them
True, but the second you can't buy enough food at the grocery store it all goes poof
If we stop, even for a couple weeks, the system collapses. If a third of people stop showing up for work, if a third of people steal their food rather than pay for it, if a third of people stop paying rent... It all just melts away like a snow flurry
Money means the value assigned to it - if it can't feed you, it means nothing. If it stops moving, so does 'the economy'. It's so much more fragile than it seems
Louisiana just declared a state of emergency over their aged license system, they're saying if you need to fly you might need 180 days to go through their accelerated program to get a real id
Not really. We don't have to live in a society where every idea is used to extract wealth or exert power over others... We just happen to live in such a society
Oh, you're missing the most important part of the meta:
CEO: We just did that the consulting company told us
Consulting company: We just make recommendations
