Activist shareholders can claim whatever they want, at the end of the day it's just noise, founders control the company completely.

Building a lot of compute will likely end up more useful than Apollo & ISS, which were vanity projects.

The article is deliberately written to try to evoke an outrage, but I also don't see what is actually damning about it. The comparison with store brands is the first thing that came to my mind.

I live in Switzerland which has a reputation for having good public transport. Still own a car because in many cases you can't beat convenience. Can't wait for Waymo to come here.

Try looking for NetUP in the sanction list, whose employees (including a former one who's actually working for Amazon) were removed. You won't find it. I'm surprised nobody called out James Bottomley on this bullshit answer.

It's not accurate. Everyone with .ru email was removed regardless of actual sanctions, including people who currently live and work in US.

The trick is probably not to make PETN, but to package it in such a way there are no traces of it outside? There are likely no implications for air travel. At least I always assumed that advanced state actors can make explosives that are un

> According to the BBC, of the 12 killed by pages, four were doctors, so it looks like Israel targeted hospitals as part of this attack. Someone being a doctor does not prevent them from being a Hezbollah operative, al-Zawahiri was also

Hezbollah has been firing rockets at Israel, how more active does it need to get? The notion that Israel just need to take it and can't go after the organization that conducts such attacks is absurd.

The slippery slope scenario you described didn't happen with the Down syndrome for which there is a reliable screening. There are a few people want to ban that screening and they use exactly the same arguments (also it's eugenics!

Whether they are efficient or not entirely depends on the company. For every NVidia you can find another company (or ten) that reinvests inefficiently because managers tend to like building empires at the expense of their shareholders.

This is a different argument, and a bit weird one. Why do you want to shout at other people for having preferences that are different from yours (or rather your wife's)? For me personally supervising small kids 12/7/365 sound
