Doesn't work quite the same way in reverse though. "Every energy corporation deserves to be paid for their pillaging of the earths resources." Failure to pay for said pillaging has slightly different results.

"Buys out" and "owns" apparently now mean the same as "rent for a small period of time" ...

Almost the entire AI / ML landscape is still stuck on the pretense of: "lets feed it a trillion pieces of data, correct the most obvious defects, and call it a day", which leads to some terrific results, but mostly really poor and low quality results. It is fast becoming the buzzfeed of software. Generated images are full of obvious glitches. Chats with AI are full of logical mistakes and very weird changes of topic. Generated text is a lot of the time borderline unreadable. What exactly is the end goal here? Release early, release often, release all hopes of being taken seriously?

A landline will usually still work when there is a power outage - VOIP and fibre not so much.

Maybe I am posting on the wrong forum, but a lot of people seem to have this magical notion that CEOs make everything in a company happen. Elon single-handedly made those rockets land on a raft in the ocean. Elon re-invented electrical cars all by himself. Elon made a Mars habitation dream possible. Except Elon did none of those things. He was the CEO of companies whose staff did those things, following his vision. Staff. People. It always takes a team. The team of people that he is currently attempting to grind into dust at Twitter.

The trick(s) to git is not using `git add -A`, and being diligent (as in checking before you commit) about the changes that you are committing. Only add and commit what is relevant to the task that you are working on. But it's even simpler than that. Before you commit anything, check what you are about to commit. Is it what you expected? Is it relevant? Does it work? Has it been tested? Is it likely to pass a code review?
