SpaceX has a very robust management system that manages musk and keeps him out of the day to day. That’s the most impressive thing about them IMO. Tesla used to be better about this as well, but with the whole eDumpster (aka cybertruck) fiasco that system seems to have largely fallen apart.

Blue state blue country and we were expected to recite the pledge every morning of k-8 (I don’t recall it being a thing in high school.) I remember kids whose parents were politically active being punted out of class for not participating. About half of us would just follow along with “blah blah blah blah blah blah blah” at the cadence of the pledge.

We call those externalities, the taxpayers will handle them if we ignore them long enough that they become a crisis

There’s definitely an opportunity for someone to run their own curation service for personalized feeds based on a user’s activity on other social networks.

I tend to just check All periodically for the first couple of months and follow tags and people that suit my own interests and build my own feed from zero. But that takes effort and time, and for folks who want an option further toward the convenience end of the privacy/convenience spectrum I suspect it would be a fairly popular option.

Leaving one privately run garden for another sure seems like a choice 🤔

Over/under on the 4.0 release? 2045?

Time. Imagine not just you disappearing but all humans. Given enough time absolutely nothing lasts.

No bailouts without an equivalent equity transfer to the public. If you want a bailout you need to grant the same amount of stock to the government in exchange.

Japanese Amazon is popular with people who want to import goods directly from Japan so I’d say this isn’t a universal thing

Get ready for corporate announcing the layoff of 67% of the workforce

I’m convinced that raisins are only popular because they were a luxury food for our grandparents and they only exist in these dishes because that’s what our grandparents thought rich people would do with raisins when they were kids.

I babysat our old neighbor’s cat a couple of times while she was out of town. Said cat would only drink water from a pitcher placed under the leaky bathtub faucet and was constantly angry at the drops on her head. Cats are very clever idiots.
