> It's really not that expensive to manage 4G towers vs sending up thousands of small sats. Is it, though? Can you share the pricing details of managing 4G towers vs. Starlink's small sats. And yes, I fully expect that you have

The "stock market companies" is a fantasy promoted by random people, not SpaceX. What SpaceX shared is that they plan to be "fiber cable" except via space. They'll carry a backbone traffic e.g. between Australia and

Tell that to cloudflare, snarky person I don't know what tool you're using to determine this, but it'll say the same for half of the internet as my site is hosted on render.com and proxied via cloudflare. Also, everything on

I did Backblaze via Cloudflare setup. I really don't care about the cost of storage. In my case it's the bandwidth costs that were killing me. If it was available at the time, I would use R2 if only for simplicity. If I was using

Thiel (+ the rest of the board) fired Musk from his CEO position at PayPal. I'm pretty sure Musk would ignore any phone calls from Thiel. Furthermore, Thiel didn't make Musk rich. When PayPal was sold to eBay Musk was the single l

Thanks. Also, in pre-release version I've added a feature that I'm super stoked about: a command palette https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/docs/Command-Palette And fully customizable keyboard shortucts https:

Hey, I just updated the website https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org (for reference, the old one: https://sumatra-website-preview.onrender.com/free-pdf-reader ). Does it look better? Maybe early 2000?

Zuckerberg wrote the initial code for Facebook. Jeff Bezos used to send packages in the early days of Amazon. Musk is working like a dog, splitting his time between SpaceX and Tesla. But sure, they are just influencers, self-promoters and p

Why should they care? The liability is with the person, not the company.

Does it really happen all the time? Any references to this happening all the time? Because to me it seems like border patrol doesn't have the authority to check your bank account or demand that you "show significant savings".

They are not typeless but dynamically typed. It's an important distinction. The values have types it's just types aren't visible at compile time but can (must) be queried at run time to do anything useful with those values.

I can only speak about render.com as I use for a mix of 10 static websites / Go webapps + cloudflare for DNS and caching proxy. It sounds prosaic but "it just works". Specifically compared to Digital Ocean Apps (which I used

As we all know, Webster dictionary is all you need to know to pass a bar exam. In your hypothetical example, the agent doesn't have to say anything. If Larry Ellison buys 15% of Twitter as a favor to his buddy Musk, he is under no obli

Like I said, I'm a very benevolent person. Trust me, I'll unleash my wrath on Musk the moment his actions cause my net worth go down due to TSLA stock going down. But in my infinite compassion for lesser human beings, I allow Musk

> Also "accuracy of the tweet" is a horrible thing to have to be debating in a court of law. I agree. The lawsuit is laughable and should be thrown out of the court.

Publishing his location in real time affects his safety in a country where any whacko with a prior criminal history can get a gun. There certainly are plenty of people with serious grudge against Musk. The data isn't "completely p

We don't have to. By generally accepted rules of engagement the totality of investors think that Twitter is worth 30% less than what Musk is offering. That's the difference between Twitter's market cap and Musk's very te

How do you equate "freedom of speech" with "publishing Musk's physical location in real time" ? In general we have laws against tracking individuals. What he does seems legal but it doesn't make it good or ethi

Musk offered him money because he was concerned about his safety. Which is a very legitimate concern. See John Lennon. It certainly wasn't an attempt to silence a critic, which is the thing people say he'll start doing when he get

The point is that 10% swing in Google's performance (in either direction) has much bigger impact on stock price than 1000% swing in SpaceX performance. Amdahl law applied to company performance. Don't buy Google to own SpaceX. Wai

Or, following Ockham's Razor, it would indicate he needs money to do something with it. Maybe buy $600 million yacht or maybe buy money losing company.

Tesla is not the lender, Musk's broker is. Therefore Tesla has zero input into margin rate broker decides to give Musk.

As a TSLA holder I care that I've made 20x on my stock. I care it's the best performing stock in the last 5 and 10 years. I care that Tesla is growing revenues at 50%+ over more than a decade, and profits even faster. Which is a b

I love motivated reasoning like this. Musk's offer is well above current stock price, within the range of similar take over bids. Certainly nothing that qualifies it as "coercive low-ball bid". > first offer Yeah, because

I think the flaw in this plans is that you assume that Musk will personally approve every tweet. There will be moderation. Musk talked about the need to improve Twitter's handling of spam, bots and scammers. So clearly if he owns Twitt

Re 4: Musk doesn't avoid the tax, merely delays it. By the time he has to pay it he'll also have to pay tax on the accumulated interest. He'll pay the interest AND the tax on the principal AND the interest.
