We're literally barely 5 years out from the last major tax cut which followed two Obama era tax cuts that followed Bush Era tax cuts. I'm, not exactly sure where your impression of only tax hikes is coming from

What's wrong with paying employees more? Income tax is a thing and that's on revenue, not profit. You'll get a bigger cut of that then other expenses. And a bigger cut of that than equity comp and share buybacks where that&#x

Unless you're using the figurative definition of literal - that's simply an incorrect statement. I think you're transferring the general statement about the safety of flying to the safety of one particular model of plane. Oth

There's plenty of chemosynthetic life on earth that doesn't need a sun - even if earth style life needed the sun to evolve, if the earth became a rogue planet those organisms might be fine. And life might not have needed the sun t

Why would my explanation read as absolving them of responsibility? The folks running the bank are professional bankers. They took a position that massively exposed them to interest rate risk and market cycle risk (when all of their clients

Startups have weird financial flows and risk profiles. A company shows up out of nowhere with a bunch of money and then starts screaming towards bankruptcy. Sometimes it crashes and is gone, other times suddenly a huge amount of money shows

The shortfall only occurred because they had to sell their assets before maturity, and the value of those assets have decreased. If they were able to hold them to maturity there wouldn't have been a problem - they still pay out the sam

This seems like claiming that a pizza place and a taco place aren't competing because they're completely different experiences - I'm still only going to eat one lunch, and I'm only going to use one service for lodging ov

The core courses between the grad and undergrad programs are essentially identical. In terms of whether he passed an exam like this, well, cs get degrees and its pretty hard to actually fail out of business school

Sure, but an antiviral is not a vaccine, so I'm not sure what the comparison is there. And it's not like there's no technological path on the horizon to deal with Antibiotic resistance- its probably an underfunded area of res

The Antibiotic resistance issues were seeing are orders of magnitude less problematic than the deaths caused by bacteria pre antibiotics. And - the flu isn't 100% safe for non old and non "weak" - no clue where you got that i

This is specific to Penn, where elon went, and the post does mention that they believe he only has a BS in econ, not the ba, but then dont explain why they have a screenshot of a ba. (Also fwiw I am personally a bit of an elon basher now, I

So, if his only degree is a bachelor of science in economics like the filing claims, what's the scan of the bachelor of arts degree then? He's got some sort of secret other degree in biology or chemistry he's never told anyon

by vikramkr 4y ago
The diploma is a bachelor of arts, so that's definitely not the business degree and is probably for physics. Penn, like most liberal arts schools, offers a bachelor's in arts for stem fields. IIRC he did an uncoordinated dual degr

It is going to be a problem for the radix project though, since given how close the ties are between that and fosshost there are significant questions about the motivation and competence of the team, and their dedication to protecting donor

You're right, there's so many ways they could have intervened. It also seems pretty clear that they do want to take on such a role, since they've gone ahead and created another organization that does the same thing. It's
