I think it might have to do with EU's "anti-business" tilt, as many might see it, but we can observe the effects of runaway wild-west Capitalism as well. There is something to be said for trying to keep basic civilizational o

It's a "policy", not a law. I have almost zero confidence that Elon even cares. He has snubbed the SEC multiple times. As if he cares about his sycophantic board. Musk would literally backtrack on his own "policies"

Human trafficking and pizza. This sounds familiar....

The studio execs literally went "well, we can't just have one dude in the movie, so let's add sex appeal by making GERTY an actual hot woman - but she is tied to the place and can never leave the premises, just like that robo

We were talking on Reddit about how his behavior is much like a student who has a paper due and is just killing time on the web in order to "escape" the uncomfortable thoughts and the pressure. Musk is showing all signs of "c

Risking your health when there is clearly a way not to should not be a requirement. This is not a competition on who can take more damage to their body.

I think it should be normal and expected behavior to wear a mask when you are in public but even feel a little off. Way before the pandemic I would nudge away from people non-stop coughing on public transportation - even then it was consi

His favorables gain with the MAGA is WAY lower than his drop in popularity with the libs he is working very hard to own. It's like +5% to -33%. Musk or no Musk, deep in Red country these people won't be caught dead in a Tesla.

TSLA is down WAY more than most other automakers. Also, the auto stocks have been pretty much sideways if you look at the last five years. There is no correlation.

There is a big budget Hollywood movie with an A-lister that many claim has totally jacked the Moon concept. I noticed that myself without any suggestions, but I can't say anything more because it will spoil it.

Actually, the movie was written in 2020-2021, before the Musk/Ye meltdown, but it's exactly why the script stayed relevant. The character of a doofus who walked into riches by taking reckless risks, walking over people, and then c

Quite the opposite. I've fixed bugs on my second day on a job when it was a simple, testable monolith - the way it SHOULD be for most companies still. In a distributed system, a small change can have a giant blast radius. You don'

I didn't know that having worked for respected Federal agencies basically banned you from the job market until you were dead. This is an example of how nowadays non-news are "reported" as a shocking, multi-pronged conspiracy.

I think even those who came into contact with addiction and substance abuse may fail to realize that social media dependence is a very similar thing. We can get technical - drugs and booze are psychoactive, while social media is behavioral

Yes, do not let the HN anti-exception crusaders gaslight you. I still remember when I "discovered" exceptions in programming - "this is so much cleaner!" All this theoretical mumbo jumbo is just noise. Very few of us are

Absolutely. Even after "compressing" my code as much as possible, it looks as if 2/3 of a Go program is pure error handling and no business logic. I just don't understand this militant objection toward exceptions now. Ev

That's not a bad point. GitHub is convenient, yes, but if you manage security for companies that are collectively worth billions, you want to minimize your attack surface. In my experience, security is usually an afterthought in most t

But this is the whole thing about global social networks. The issues with jurisdictions and politics are nearly insurmountable - it's an impossible task - and somehow the old Twitter chugged along. Musk never spent 30 seconds thinkin

This sudden love of "freedom of speech" among billionaires really reeks of hypocrisy and authoritarianism. This usually comes from individuals who are used to doing and saying what they want, and suddenly being called out on being

Jared will not last a week with all these Elon antics. Musk will stick his d--- into absolutely every decision. Kushner does not need the grief for a measly modern CEO salary.

Probably because nuclear plant workers were thought of as lab workers, and those wore these uniforms as well. Not sure if it was also a precaution against hair and threads falling into critical equipment.

Not sure Kushner will be thrilled as Elon's meat puppet in form of Twitter's new CEO. I don't see it.

"quasi-principled interest". That's not even near that. It's all been hypocritical through the through. "Free speech" is "me speech". The man doesn't even know about Section 230 and referred to T

Could have offered the guy $5 million with a non-disclosure cemented. Musk would have tens of billions more right now, especially with the now crashing Tesla stock. Penny wise and pound foolish.
