what a fascinating story. a surprising amount of similarities with the Bitcoin story. I wonder...

the west is regressing on climate because, quite frankly, almost anything we do is pointless. we're not the ones who need to do anything to have an impact on the world. the entities that must do something don't want to

yeah, there's absolutely no "maybe" about it, you are definitely out of touch :). I don't know in what way exactly, but something is off. What is your per kwh rate exactly? You might be getting some kind of subsidies that you are not aware of, perhaps? I used to live in a 1200 sqft house in LA without any AC or anything consuming too much electricity, and 10 years ago before all the rate hikes I was still paying more than $100/month in west LA.

isn't that an attack? removing/reducing subsidies removes incentives for people to install more solar

> but most Americans believe that continuing to create smarter and smarter AIs is dangerous, so who's playing god now?

Aren't you just making this up? I haven't seen any surveys on what "most Americans believe" re AI. I know a lot of people that are concerned. But I'll bet good money that "most Americans" don't give a crap

better for whom?

the effect this kind of thing has on the broader market is that it makes everyone else reconsider their hiring plans. I doubt there will be as many open positions after this announcement and it won't all be from hiring

Twitter used to remove the blue checkmark if the user changes their name or their handle. and the verification was an attestation that Twitter verified that the user's name matches the identity.

not sure why they've removed that. would've helped here this case.

honestly, after seeing how badly twitter has handled all the crypto attacks any change is a good change at this point.

i know people love hating on elon but twitter has always been a terribly run company. they've been a joke for a long time. why not give the guy 3-months and then we can judge?

exactly. as long as people are willing to pay they'll continue testing the upper limits of that price.

> The Fed has been funding extremely reckless fiscal policy for two years. We literally shut the economy down and gave people checks for doing nothing. I don't think we need to reach for fancy explanations. The reason for inflation seems plainly obvious to me.

100% this. I don't understand the motivation or the logic of the people who argue against something that's so obvious

their ads hurt my eyeballs. feels like there's an ad every damn second. how can people tolerate this

elementary kids are using Snapchat? holy shit. please tell me you're making this up

> in practice their lawyers will be telling them this is their recommendation to minimise legal risk, and I have no doubt that they’ll listen to their lawyers and do what they say.

there isn't even a need to see a lawyer about this. there's literally no issue here for the company to ever get sued over. the only risk here is for Elon himself to be reprimanded by the Tesla board. and the chances of that happening are below zero.
