Everything except short-term profits. X seems decently focused on the long term, especially with subscriptions being introduced as a (new) revenue stream. Also not sure about R&D, as I don't know what R&D Twitter was doing pre-

That doesn't mean they're not in their infancy. I take infancy to mean they have not achieved their potential // can be vastly improved or made powerful, as opposed to taking infancy to literally mean 'young' (

You're talking about best laptops. Parent said physically best. I don't think the answer is subjective - Apple most definitely makes far better laptops physically. The M2 Air is astonishingly light, while being made of metal, as o

Patently false. He refused to enable the use of satellites - he did not disable existing satellite connections. Two very different things. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/musk-says-he-refused-ky...

Yes, Tesla isn't 'open source' in any traditional sense of the word - you're absolutely right. All I'm trying to say is that what he's done with Tesla's patents is far more 'open' than choosing

Yes, but he most definitely has the money to buy the patent and then open source it. Sort of like he did with Tesla.

Yes, but that's because the caste system was prevalent in India. It's really not a thing in the US, and so codifying it seems to give it some sort of legitimacy or something.

You're either reading Russian propaganda or American Propaganda. If you live in the US, which one will affect you more? (Genuinely asking)

OT, but I find it interesting that one wrong move can erase hundreds of good moves (one mistake can erase 20 years of goodwill).

That sounds awesome! Was coming back to Cycorp to permanently work ever in the works for you? Or did you think the intern was nice but you didn't want a career in the field? Also - what exactly did you do in the internship as a 17 year

Thanks for the work you and your community is doing! Quick question - why did you fork maps.me in the first place? And how do you make money?

You can fill out official government documents in WeChat is entirely different from the government endorsing it. The US government can use AWS without endorsing everyone buy from Amazon.

>selling services to government agencies What in the world makes you think that? Musk is pretty clearly against this government, and openly so - if he wants to sell services to government agencies, he's definitely on the wrong path.

But WeChat does have competition in China.

WeChat isn't forced on the people by the CCP by any means.

In the case of Twitter/X, 'Elon mode' was simply a testing configuration. I don't see why it would be any different in Tesla.

> Ko Toot said he created characters based on real people fighting the military, including doctors, Muslims and members of the LGBT community. Funny how one of these social groups is actively hostile against another.

I don't know much about this stuff, but could anyone explain why willpower isn't enough? Like - isn't this something that is in our control? Also - if you don't have the willpower to lose weight, wouldn't taking wei

You must accept their Terms of Service to use them. These terms of service state that they will show you advertising, and in order to use the website, you must agree to these terms. They have very clear consent.

The only non-consenting advertising I can think of is public billboards - and I believe those should be banned, most definitely. Every single other type of advertising requires your explicit consent. YouTube? Google? Newspapers? All have yo

Per the website linked, asylees and refugees do not come under the export control act, as opposed to citizens of other nations. The timing of the lawsuit does seem interesting though.
