It seems that 5% or more of the country views everything through a binary lens of "Is this something my media and political group will be upset about or not" so if you are a Republican/Fox News person you feel that you should

It is totally fine if you don't like Elon, but in the real world there isn't an EV that is cheap and available and has a good charging network. The ID4 is decent but that company was started by actual Hitler and Nazis, so if you a

It isn't an audit but a report. The difference is that a report just says "this person had $100 in their checking account on this date" an audit tells you where those funds came from and how long they have been in the account

The main difference is that banks enforce a low loan to value ratio and collateral. So a bank will give a 10k personal loan to someone who has 100k of stock and 500k of equity in their home. If that person doesn't pay back the loan the

This is the right way to look at the issue. It is the same way you should look at Bitcoin. It is very possible Bitcoin will hit 100k someday. But the interesting measurements will be how many loaves of bread can you buy with that one Bitcoi

It is important to understand that all work is Derivative work. Unless someone was raised by a pack of wolves in the jungle they were exposed to music and art in some way during their childhood. Even someone as original as Salvador Dali was

What people are missing here is that you can setup feedback loops of models to get the "correct" content or whatever you want. For example, If you get too much NSFW content put a NSFW detection step on top of GTP ("Is this re

Legally I think they are better going after the embezzlement angle instead of fraud. It is a fact that FTX funds were used to buy a house that his parents had in their name and that they used. SBF can say that the house purchase was an &quo

They are all trying to frontrun the next boom cycle in hopes of having good returns for 2023. Their returns for 2022 are garbage. Can you imagine giving ARK 1% of your wealth as payment for them losing 60% of your wealth? Their hope is tha

In my experience it was a stress issue for the couples that were having trouble that I know. One friend and his wife gave up alcohol, caffeine and meat, it seemed like there was just a ton of stress they had put on getting pregnant for 6 mo

What would be an interesting metric would be # of core SRE engineers laid off vs number of "Agile Project Managers" or "Developer Advocates" laid off. My company has had 2 SRE openings all year long.

He has been saying similar things for 15 years. Because he is old he doesn't understand how fractured the world is today. For example, 100 people could create some new crypto token and mint 100 trillion coins. Then they could sell 100

We know that SBF's parents plan on 'returning' a beach front vacation home to FTX. I wouldn't call those funds 'missing'. We know where the vacation house is

Enron used shell companies to hide their debts. Once these companies were discovered, it was the end of Enron, because they clearly lied about their profits, tried to cover up their lies, and executives were clearly were going to go to jai

The fact that you admit to being a bad judge of character in the past should give you pause to reflect on the possibility that you are still a bad judge of character today. Why did you have a "neutral to positive" impression of a

It seems illogical to like a company and to dislike the person who was in charge for the last 15 years. It is like someone eating a McDonald's hamburger talking about how much they hate factory farming. It is possible to like McDonald

The reality is that Elon hasn't changed much over the past 20 years. I was never under the impression that he was an easy person to work for. What has changed is that in 2016 the NYT wrote articles comparing him to Iron Man[1], and in

Right, that was my point in the original post. It used to be popular to laugh at Tesla and say they would never beat Toyota/GM. Now it is popular to dislike Elon Musk, even though he has revolutionized the auto sector. Ironically the s

In 2015 the "populist" opinion was that Tesla wouldn't beat Toyota/Ford/GM/VW at making Electric Vehicles. I'm not sure where you are getting the idea that it was popular to think Tesla was going to beat G
