Even if there were, what is your point? It seems to me that lot of people have never heard of “two wrongs don’t make one right” and resort to whataboutism as if they are making some thoughtful comment. And no, “just asking questions” isn’t

That is not even remotely correct. The American Floodlight Company would sell the floodlights for slightly below the 392k - the total amount these guys paid. Something like 350k and tell the consumers they just saved "42k". Becaus

Huh. I wonder what this man “staying away from politics” using the infamous lobbyist Nira Radia for? Oh I remember lobbying and manipulating the telecom licences. It’s okay to like this guy but Tatas are considered saints because not many k

I believe it is a good idea, especially because there is a huge CYA industry out there and Gartner owns a huge chunk of it. But very difficult to implement correctly. For example this one has a serious issue. It doesn't consider that t

I agree. The $600M number seems way too much. >Though, what I've historically seen is that only 10-20% of the funding request actually go to the software vendor. Organizations typically add 3-5x additional to either "pad"

This is such a bizarre interview. Musk is free to run his company as he sees fit. If he decides to follow a particular ideology to run his site, that is his prerogative. And lets say left wing users find it terrible. They can't say - &

Not even a protest. There is a lot of talk about - "vote with your wallet" and they are choosing to vote. Sure, one can disagree with their vote and say it is bullshit and what not. But it is not blackmail.

The illegal part in this equation comes from the asymmetric nature of the bet. Not many sane people play naked way out of money options. 99% of the time it is a losing trade. It is like playing the lottery. Perfectly legal. But being suspic
