OK... I don't anyone would find your squishy confidence it's worth 50% more than current value any more credible than shorters who think it's worth 50% less. Both seem like fringe opinions without much foundation.

Both of your cases seem quite implausible to me. Sounds like cynical wishful thinking.

"Terrorist radicalization" is a nonsense buzzword cultivated by warmongers and governments trying to manufacture consent for oppression. Terrorists are radicalized by material conditions, the speech that is claimed to radicalize t

That wont work. Any time there is a riot, the government can claim it was incited by the dissenters they wished they could prosecute directly.

If they believed this, they wouldn't be selling at the current spot, sellers would all be putting their asks ~46% above spot (discounting time value of money), and the market would move. That risk and upside is already priced in if you

I think it's hard to say whether idiocy/hatred is more dangerous in the spotlight or in the shadows.

Then Musk can make a slightly lower offer and make the price plunge again.

I don't think your argument holds water. If the shareholders are rational and believe the true value is greater than current price, why aren't people buying until it asymptotically approaches that price? Optimism and hopes for fut

I think the bigger danger is the speed that people will be able to fabricate 'evidence' to support a false narrative faster than photographs of an event can come in. The first images of a news story available could be fabrications

The Grammys are just the music industry establishment patting itself of the back. I think its probably a very poor indicator of quality as music production has become increasingly decentralized.

> Jazz right now is wildly diverse but overall pretty weird, pretty electronic, very sonically influenced by hip hop, metal, and pop. Lotta sampling, drum machines, even autotune. This sounds interesting, have any artist recommendations?

How do you differentiate this sort of artists from 90+% of artists on the top 40? Isn't nearly the entirety of pop music built upon semi-fictional characters?

This is pretty funny, imo: --- Not all of those undercover buys went as planned. One incident described in an affidavit by prosecutors (PDF) appears related to the sale of tens of millions of consumer records stolen last year from T-Mobile,

Critic reviews are prescriptive: what they think the masses should watch. User reviews are retrospective: how much did they actually enjoy watching the movie. I think there has always been a fundamental disconnect, in that critics think t

Sounds exactly like GarticPhone - great game: it's free and only requires a web browser. It's become the go-to for our remote company happy hours. Several people have reported laughing so hard they were sore the next day. https:

Over the past few years, borrowing money at 0%APR to put into the stock market has been very profitable. A lot of people are probably getting used to that idea, and if/when the market turns its going to be messy.
