The power of AI! It will be interesting to see how well it adapts and avoids regressions through future releases. The usual downfall of this vibecoded stuff is long term sustainability.

From the outside it seems like the long term stock exchange was a flop. Why do you think it failed to gain traction? Is it that HFT just isn’t relevant to enough key decision makers?

Is there someone that does this frequently with a breakdown in costs and their experience? This sounds lit as a goal for an eccentric millionaire.

Does this apply to babies separated at birth though?

No, they exist on the internet but calling them part of the same system is a bit torturous. My toaster and the dam 1000 miles away are on the same electrical grid. Calling my toaster part of the electrical generation system because it consu

Again, voting rights don’t really matter. Google famously split shares to hold control while going to the market.

The goalposts will just shift to attack that excess salt instead. It’s like all of the FUD about datacenter water usage while people shove almonds in their mouths.

Are you happy to be invested in Tesla? It is not profitable quarter to quarter and is included in your fund. Why do you tolerate that and not this?

The top level comments are not smart or well conveyed, they are just the other side of the internet echo chamber. “Good, the rich don’t need money”, etc. I think Elon owned companies are just a third rail for any kind of intelligent discuss

> That is essentially a wealth transfer to the rich. They don't need it. These are not valid arguments. The companies that get added to the S&P are always owned in some fraction by rich people. SpaceX is obviously majorly owned

This assumes the military just wants to kill all civilians, which isn’t the case in basically any revolutions. The military doesn’t know which houses to hit, and when >1/2 of the houses are armed in the US it makes disarming all pos

Yeah, that’s like being 33ft under water. Not extreme by any means.

Pop quiz, how many rockets has SpaceX launched in the last 5 years? How many have blown up the launchpad?

No, indexes are meant to track something. The Russel 2000 index has very different criteria for the S&P 500 index. The Dow Jones is yet another one. The criteria for none of the above is “slow moving”, far from it. Those are all expecte

A bunch of different services on a single status page doesn’t make it a complex system. Most of these have no relation to each other other than the high level services on the cloud providers.

Not being able to stop random killings or destruction from small arms fire has nothing to do with military power projection. Military power projection is the reason the US was able to destroy a significant portion of Iranian leadership, nuc

Because it would require a boots on the ground invasion to occupy the entire portion of Iran overlooking the Strait. The strait is physically open but no insurance company will cover massive oil carriers because they are so easy to hit with

Because they didn’t want the retribution that would follow. That’s what protection looks like. Assured destruction when it’s not mutual is pretty motivating.

The only risk here is that the inside Hermes might suggest your wife taking some action that ends up revealing private details to the internet. It’s a bit convoluted, but the way it looks is: 1. Your internet facing one is prompt injected.

Nope, you’ll be buying at whatever the price is several days after the IPO. This could easily be below IPO prices as has happened with many other companies.

Why are those things relevant to either employees or a town? Most of the US is at-will so the financial health of the company is unlikely to be the reason you’ll suddenly lose a job. Same for a town, if you’re structuring a deal that has co
