Saying he prioritized engineering results is VERY generous with respect to their autonomy efforts. I think they've prioritized hype and cost and part of the cost priority was not setting up guardrails or culture to protect the data.

I don't think it's some big secret. Any time libraries hold a book sale that's usually the last chance for those books, everything left is tossed. I can't understand any outrage about that though, they buy new books and

You're not alone, if you do hn.algolia.com there's a whole page of these. Negative Tesla stuff never stays on the front page (flagged probably) so it's hard to know it's been posted even if there's been hundreds of

That reminds me of the SNCF train workers in France who are retiring at 52 because of the "dangers" of operating the trains (from when they had to shovel and breath in coal to keep them running). The fact that they can shut down s

These days pretty sure things are much more regulated and locked down for the giants. It would take a conspiracy with multiple employees in the right groups to access that type of data and there'd be a trail that gets detected fast.

Well I was surprised by the number of murders so far this year. It's less than my much smaller hometown that isn't considered particularly unsafe, while on here everyone acts like SF is hell. There's no question there's

If you're only really interested in the problems you're working on it's tough to go from somewhere everything else is taken care of for you except your problem. No worries about infra or business. What you get is the more ac

Can't speak for the others but if USA is "coming undone" it has never not been coming undone. You can always find some badness in an economy, but by most measures we usually go by it's totally fine. GDP looks OK, unemplo

Welcome to HN. This is the one undisputed fact that 99% of us can agree on. Arrogant Google hasn't done anything of note for decades and search in particular is a dying shell of itself. I remember the good old days when it could find e

I've only watched a couple of his interviews but at least in the ones I watched, which I think this one might have been one of them, he was kind of asking experts to confirm his very positive opinions about Elon/Karpathy as oppose

I can't believe how disconnected I always feel on the Google search conversations here. It still does what I need it for fine, I don't remember it being significantly better than it is now. I guess I'm not a power user? But I

Waymo has FSD. Oh it only works in places they are certain it will work? Nevermind, I like my companies to unleash products that don't work, but everywhere

I don't think this is actually that unpopular with the MPs, they just don't want to be responsible for it. This has been in the cards forever with both right wing and PS governments claiming they'd tackle some part of it at l

I dont know either way but none of that is convincing to me. It wouldn't have legal consequences because no one can prove he wasn't genuinely panicked. He does profit if the FDIC doesn't step in his competitors and startups&

His foresightful actions are the triggers of the adverse incidents so of course the timing is perfect.

>(or had other positions or situations that would gain from SVB's failure) Like for example he and all his startups keeping their money while some of their competitors don't? No need for any other bets for a bank run to benefit

There's a difference between "at risk" and doomed and Thiel at the least accelerated things to the latter. Something probably could have been worked out with a little bit of cooperation instead of screaming fire, but I think

In this case the fact that you're going to act might be the "info"

Triggering a bank run where your startups get all their money out before their competitors is a nice way to get an edge
471.
by sidibe 4y ago
It definitely seems to be done on purpose, but they didn't tell all their friends (David Sacks for example). For Thiel this was a win-win thing, his companies are all fine while hurting the competition and he gets to whine about govern

You would have to use the money you inherited or were given annually from your parents more carefully so that you have it to spend on the things you really need or where you see a big opportunity. It's a sacrifice but it's all wor

Yeah they can just prevent unilateral access. If there's a conspiracy between however many members of the group that is required to give permission there's not much you can do about it, but I'm just saying it's unlikely

Very much doubt this. Maybe at some point in the past but it would be very surprising if anyone could unilaterally read an email at Google without going through hoops with justification

The most important thing is that someone pisses off the people you don't like. Anything else can be forgiven

That whole thread is the most effective ripping on Musk I've seen yet, and it's something he's going to read. Normally I'd say someone wouldn't respond to that but this is Elon :popcorn:

There will be more competition then. This one might get to be part of the story if they get it out soon enough

Might it also have to do with his positions on almost everything conflicting with most people's? A lot of people didn't realize what a narcissistic manchild he was until recently.

Notice there are a lot of negative comments about the USA. Most of us find plenty of faults with the United States, but we keep some perspective too, realizing on the Chinese internet such criticisms wouldn't last long before removal.

Huh isn't the video confirmation? Or do you think they deepfaked it? Seems very unlikely the idiocy on view is too realistic to have been scripted IMO
