Good things have happened to Elon, therefore he must be a good person, otherwise my worldview is destroyed and there is no point being good.
This 100%, too many musk fanboys don’t understand how much he is actually hindering innovation.
Even at SpaceX they make more progress when he isn’t involved.
Owning that much of a company that is valued that highly is still damaging to society, even if it isn’t liquid cash. Even putting aside their ability to take out loans with the shares as collateral, if the company is really worth that much it should be owned by a larger number of people with each taking a reasonably sized share to ensure that decisions are not made selfishly.
Taxing unrealised gains also hurt working class people dabbling in the stock market to try and improve their circumstance. IMO once you reach a net worth of $1B you get a pat on the back that you won captalism, and a 200% tax rate on anything beyond that to force you to give it up. No one person should own and control so much of a company if it truely has so much value, divide it among those that created the value i.e. the employees.
At least an expensive car is usually a better product though, so many of these t-shirts are simply cheap cotton but the price is $$$$ because the logo of a company that also makes actually expensive products is on it.
One of Harris and Trump is going to be the president. Sorry but that is the reality, the time for getting a better candidate has passed.
It is time to pick which one you want. If you don’t vote you don’t care so you accept either outcome.
Voting is not and should not be wholly endorsing the person, but securing the best outcome from the options. You want better options then go into politics yourself.
I get your frustration, but it is really important to keep spelling it out. I find it very frustrating to be on the receiving and of lines like I'm tired of explaining it to you people
when I am earnestly engaging in a conversation for the first time, so I think it’s best to give people the benefit of the doubt that maybe they really don’t know, especially on forums where people other than those commenting will read it also.
Because Harris is open to ceasefire pressure and Trump want’s Israel to ‘Finish the job’.
One’s hands aren’t morally clean if you don’t vote and Trump wins. Not voting is functionally equivalent to voting for whoever wins, and if he does win with a low turnout then those who didn’t vote are responsible for whatever happens.
You seem to be in the camp of believing the hype. See this write up of an apple paper detailing how adding simple statements that should not impact the answer to the question severely disrupts many of the top model’s abilities.
In Bloom’s taxonomy of the 6 stages of higher level thinking I would say they enter the second stage of ‘understanding’ only in a small number of contexts, but we give them so much credit because as a society our supposed intelligence tests for people have always been more like memory tests.
This is now top of my list
The first line of that article is
Without citing a source, Channel 12 reports…
Please try harder. There are people dying because of misinformation.
We were told he was fortified in a tunnel network surrounded by bodyguards and hostages as human shields, like some terrorist mastermind.
He is killed running alone from one bombed out house to another, by a soldier that didn’t even recognize him.
Not saying he shouldn’t have been killed, but it really shows the false pretenses under which this ‘war’ is being carried out.
Definitely had issues on first release, but a lot has improved since then without getting much coverage. Btw I wouldn’t say that x86 has ‘caught up’ especially if your metric is power efficiency, not just raw power. Until we see a realistic RISC-V offering arm will likely remain king in that space.
They were humans pretending to be robots, these are actually robots that are being remotely controlled, rather than being fully autonomous.
‘The Market’ is not capable of spontaneously deciding to make less profit for sure. What is capable of, and in fact the only thing it does is responding to demand. If the demand for highly polluting products like meat and fish fall, it will pivot to products that continue to see high demand.
This is why individual action does matter. You can’t just offload all responsibility for making better choices onto the companies and act as though you are forced to consume what they produce, andnothing will change unless they change.
To be clear I’m not advocating for everyone to be vegan or anything like that. One plant based meal a week could have huge impact on the climate
If a foreign nation dropped a bomp on your house or rolled a tank down your street you might just start to side with the people saying they’re going to get them back.
Israel’s strategy can and will only lead to more Hamas support because they make no distinction between civilians and Hamas. They have never had a real plan to ‘return hostages’, only to wipe out the Palestinian people, because they perceive the idea of Palestinian identity to be an existential threat.
They’re not doing that independently of the products and services they provide. Over consumption is a big issue and narratives like this shirk personally responsibility and promote the bystander effect.
Pretty sure you already can’t block him specifically, I’m not on Xitter but have heard from several people this is the case.
Probably Miniminuteman
So their tax is lower and their public services are better? Makes you wonder where all the US tax revenue is going…
