Good info, didn’t know that. But, if he acquires a controlling stake he can vote his own board and go that route. Either ways I don’t see this ending well for Twitter - though may not happen in time for the midterm elections. 2024, who kn

FWIW, I believe the key line is this: We believed the best path forward was having Elon as a fiduciary of Twitter where he, like all board members, must act in the best interests of our company and our shareholders. The fact that Elon wou

I think a bigger story should be as to why a public school district decided to pay someone $5000/hr for consulting. Wonder if there were kickbacks involved, or just incompetence.

As always the reality is complicated, and yes, India does see a problem with the invasion. India is not like China where the media is openly supporting the Russian narrative. India is merely keeping quiet, with many in the media telling it

Qs: what's a good simple general purpose text editor for Mac, similar to Notepad++ I've been using VSCode for this, especially since it saves buffers without me having to save to a file and would love one with this feature.

I wonder if someone can take this to small claims court over this. At best the company will take the TV back, at worst you can approach the local TV station to publicize this issue.

Box is not required in such cases, at least not with Costco.

There are dumb TV alternates, such as the ones mentioned in this thread, and there are manufacturers which are better in this regard. If people are going to prioritize cost while making their purchase decision, it is obvious that the manufa

Curious why both Protonmail and Fastmail? How would you rate the two if one were to use just one of those? Any experience with Zoho, if so would love your thoughts on that too..

Ageism is higher in companies in domains/work with lower barrier of entry, such as the ones you also identified like web dev, mobile apps and so on. Ageism is less in domains that require domain expertise and hence have a higher barrie

For me the issue is not whether they will absorb the water or not, but aren’t they dirty. We wash everything before cooking, except meat.

Could you please point me to an independent source which can confirm what you wrote, as in not Chinese/CCP propaganda to justify their invasion and occupation of Tibet. Also, looks like the Tibetan's are suffering exactly the kind

Of course they do want the independence, why would they not. It's just that after decades of occupation and China's economic rise, they feel that that is an impossible goal, at least until China implodes like the USSR did - which

What is wrong with a theocratic government if the people want it and it suits their way of life, especially if it is a peaceful spiritual way of life and makes people happy. Last I checked Bhutan, which is also Buddhist, was doing well. Als

I already use this list, and one thing to note, which is not necessarily bad and can be good in many cases, is that this can also block TV firmware updates. I just have to check manually once in a while and disable while I update the firmwa
