There is no reason to be surprised investors aren't always that rational, though it is weird how extra giddy they are to simp for Musk in particular. Company literally does not make money, and his other major company is getting dumpste

The obvious issue is that the US boycott is making a bad situation worse. You know that is the other person's point, but you are a disingenuous ideologue.

What about what I said is inconsistent with Cuban Americans being American? It's all of our collective foreign policy, so why should we let one portion of us drag it off in some direction that the whole doesn't care for?

I have some small quibbles with what you're saying, but I think the main issue is that only Cubans and Persians really coerce our foreign policy into something different from what it would otherwise be. I don't think Ukrainians in

Having angry expats exercise control over foreign policy is stupid. The rest of us don't need to do anything that doesn't serve us just because they have an axe to grind. There's a good Scott Horton and Dave Smith conversatio

Your view is comically narrow; Saudi Arabia and the other gulf countries are also incredibly safe, but I think most of us wouldn't view them as societies we wish to emulate in most respects.

A fairly large % of those people--I would wager most, personally--would probably rather have cars, but can't afford to.

I think unless one is operating in a highly regulated industry, wanting to avoid "sending data to China" is a bit paranoid. For code specifically, most of it is not interesting anyways.

Not surprising if true. The industry is full of immoral douches who think they are above being regulated, so of course it's not surprising when they behave unethically.
