Almost. I’m admittedly being pedantic, but here’s the nuance: Greenland is not part of the EU. Their citizens are Danish citizens, and as such, they are EU citizens. Confused yet? Greenland is a member of NATO - which is actually much m

They just don't have any particular interest in helping out 99.997% of the population. If your net worth isn't at least $100 million, then this administration isn't working for you.

So...Trump's critics are right? These actions in Venezuela have little to nothing to do with Maduro's alleged crimes? Is it really just about Venezuela having the largest oil reserves in the world?

I wouldn't drink alcohol for health benefits. I'm just saying a glass of wine per day with dinner won't have adverse health effects for most people. If you don't currently drink, then there's no reason to start. If

A glass of wine with dinner is unlikely to significantly disrupt your sleep - provided you finish at least four hours before bedtime. Treat alcohol like food: avoid both in the hours leading up to sleep for optimal rest. Likewise, one glass

Given that Robotaxis are currently crashing at a much higher rate than human-driven vehicles, it seems risky to put a large majority of your company's future earnings and growth in that basket. On the Optimus front, I spent years in ma

This feels like it's rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. We know GR is incorrect - after all it predicts singularities. GR is also silent on how stress/energy/momentum causes curvature in space time. In that vein, G

Excuse me if I don't feel much like celebrating due to our enduring a coup d'état from the inside. I just hope some semblance of America remains intact after 2026 but I'm not holding my breath.

College was never a "training ground." If these companies want a "trained" workforce then they can pay for it themselves. But no, they prefer to freeload off of vulnerable students.

Trump’s approval rating is around 30%, yet that doesn’t diminish his presidential powers. Most leaders would see such historically low numbers as a signal to adjust course - but not Trump. His worldview is impervious to external feedback: i

This resonates with me and identifies my disdain for formal education. Everything I know, actually know , I've learned through self-education and working from first principles. I find it helpful to circle back and approach it through

Winston Churchill one quipped 'You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they’ve tried everything else.' I suppose that also applies to managing their societal affairs as well. The upside to falling so far be

Trump blaming Rob Reiner's murder on 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' is absurd. TDS is what conservatives accuse liberals of - and Reiner was a liberal. If politics were involved, it’d be someone who loves Trump. Maybe Trump doe

Not only has the price of goods gone up because of tariffs, but utility bills are climbing fast, grocery costs continue to surge, and health care premiums are skyrocketing. People have less money left for Christmas, and each dollar they do

Kodak was founded in 1892. I think Oracle is going to go the way of HP. Look at HP over the past 10 years and what it had been in the 10 year period leading up to that. Sure, HP is still a company with $50+ billion in revenue, which actuall

Not for Oracle's "everything but the kitchen sink" unlimited enterprise licenses for large (Fortune 200) organizations that, like a buffet, encourage you to "eat more" to get a "better value." Which works

Oracle has bigger problems than OpenAI. They've been selling large enterprise contracts for the past 10 years and they're coming up for renewal. A lot of those enterprises don't feel they got a good value. If 10% to 20% of th

Is Democratic Socialism better at handling or responding to disruption-inducing changes? Or is that what you meant by your statement that maybe it can mitigate some risks better?

There's another reason to use cloud: to determine your capacity and actual traffic patterns so you have the information you need to provision your physical server properly. That also allows you to move and implement fast with an eye to

I wouldn't say that Democratic Socialism as practiced today plans the future and allows only planned changes. It does appear (I'm an American so my view on this matter could definitely be skewed) to be more risk averse - though I

The real sin was forgetting "the market" was only ever a model, not reality. We literally confused the map with the territory. Now that underlying reality is changing, and our mistake is thinking the model, i.e. the market, remain

The Constitution doesn’t require a well-regulated militia - it simply says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The militia is mentioned as a reason, not a condition.

"Our Constitution did not authorize permanent foreign entanglements." Worried about the Constitution, are we? Well, it doesn’t authorize standing armies either - yet here we are.
