> Let's assume we're talking about tax evasion: the government is telling its citizens "Give me 50% of your profit or I'll put you in jail". This is violence and it's immoral. I could just as well say "

You can follow agile methodologies while working on a fixed schedule, but if the timeframe isn’t flexible, then the scope needs to be. Fill up the backlog, prioritize it by importance, and what’s done by the deadline is what’ll be delivered

So do you have a solution in mind?

I think the point was that your decision to use the abbreviation for child sexual abuse material as a synonym for Apple’s approach to scanning for it is unusual and potentially confusing. Semantics.

The author of the tweets is talking about when Chrome was first delivered, no? It wasn’t profitable, nor a monopoly, before it had come out.

Your direct response to the person explaining that it was a joke was literally ”Right. Joke.” Was that not sarcasm? While we’re handing out psych evaluations, you seem oddly keen on finding malice in the behavior of others.

A lot of people would care, that’s the issue. Even if you personally have achieved an enlightened state where you’re perfectly able to voluntarily forego trying to do and acquire things that are contributing to an unsustainable society, it

To be fair, if a system that allows anyone in the world at any time to enjoy a banana is unsustainable in a way that may cause human civilisation to end due to our environment collapsing, then perhaps we need to look into finding a differen

By what system would you ensure that people only eat locally grown food, though?

Thanks! That was my first guess, but a quick search for amazon technical assistant wasn’t very helpful.

It’s a small part of the document. What’s wrong with a little levity? Not everything has to be super serious all the time, even for a corporation.

Stupid question here, what does TA spell out?

That's fair, but if you don't think it's meant as a joke, what do you think the intention is?

The thing is that you can’t look at evolution and sexual selection from the perspective of ”this particular thing makes the most sense or seems to be the optimum, and so of course nature has made things such”. An urge can be very strong and

I’m not sure what insinuation you’re trying to make by saying that Sweden’s request to join NATO is ”haphazard”, but I’m pretty certain I don’t like it. SIM cards requiring registrations is a development in the direction towards less privac

If a change has ever been committed or stashed (which is basically also committing, just not on a branch), it can always be recovered, at least until garbage collection is run - check out the reflog. Of course, if it hasn't been, then

The amount would have to be close to the difference between the price he would pay and the current value of the company, at which point Musk might as well go through with it, if he really thinks he can run it better.

This is the board and shareholders. They wouldn’t be ”you” anymore after they sell. Why would they care about what happens to Twitter after they’ve gotten their money?

by Cederfjard 4y ago
Not necessarily compared to netting $44bn, though. I guess it depends on how long they think it’ll take for Twitter to reach that price again, if ever.

I'm in Europe, so I'm writing this as someone who likes our governments protecting people from American (and Chinese) companies. Very happy to be a big happy family again if things improve.

Why should it stop, as long as nations continue to pose threats to each other and their populations? I support both the US and the EU putting these restrictions in place (until such a time when everyone can be trusted, if ever).

Multiple people have already said this, but I'll ask just for the sake of it: Are you aware that Elon forewent his due diligence by simply skipping that part and going straight to signing the deal? That means that Twitter DOES NOT have

Even if that’s the case, and that’s a big if, it’s not enough in and of itself to let him out of the deal. He needs to prove a material adverse effect of something like 20-40% of the value of the company - then the court may let him off the
