Don't forget GPS.

Doesn't IT keep the back ups or do they also use old fashioned notebooks and pens?

What a load of BS.
"It is about when social media can access our children."

Interesting and sad.

And what alternative do you suggest?
You might disagree with certain points but the overall work they are doing is still very important, especially in a Trump environment.

Funny :)

Yes we do.
But since the quality if the subjects have gone down we spend here at least 10 mins. less time.

We know it but those politicians affected by the southern temperatures can't fathom the importance of fixing our CO2 output.

So what is the water equivalent of the sharp front edge of a cybertruck?

I'm not even sure if it's that deliberate, or it's just the fact that Trump is thinking about rigging the election... so he talks about rigging the election.

But it's hilarious how consistent the pattern is. Normally with something like that there's just a few occasional examples. But with Trump if he says "Democrats are kicking puppies!" chances are that we're about to find out that Trump kicked a puppy.

He's not a genius, I sincerely think he's average to slightly below average intelligence for a software dev. Just look how clueless he really is when he pretends to be a technical guru in front of actual experts.

That doesn't mean he doesn't have some exceptional skills, but IQ isn't one of them.

First, he's hard working, at least in spurts (during critical deadlines), and he's willing to make and implement big decisions quickly. Just look at DOGE, Republicans have been trying to lay waste to the US government for decades, but Musk is the only one to actually do it. It was a complete disaster, but it wasn't ethics or common sense that stopped the previous attempts, that's a legit talent for Musk.

Second, CEOs aren't allowed to lie, but Musk has figured out that you can get around that by building a cult of personality and then making ridiculously optimistic predictions and then sell minor advancements as progress. The result is he has a core group of retail investors that buy his stocks based on vibes and refuse to sell once in. Since these retail investors prevent the stock from going down too much institutional investors also jump in on the ride. It's basically tulip bulbs.

I fully agree with your observation.
Being used to FF with uBO on the laptop and DuckDuckGo on the Android I am always totally surprised by the junk other browsers allow to cover up content.
Even /. has to live and adds a bunch of stuff I normally don't see...

FF might not be perfect but it sure beats other browsers anytime.

It's good there are people that like you look at the finer details.
But I use FF since when it came out and hardly ever find it wrong, especially after they last year fixed the main memory leak.

I agree he has an extremely high risk tolerance, though that doesn't make him a good person.

His car company is pretty small as car companies go, SpaceX means some new satellites, but Starlink is the only thing that's really making a difference to normal people. And Neuralink might help a lot of people in the future, but it largely R&D now.

His wealth doesn't come from what his companies have done. It comes from his ability as a promoter and its ridiculous effect on the stock price.

He worked hard to get Trump re-elected, if he was in fact the tipping point, he has harmed the environment far more than he has helped.

Not to mention all the potentially hundreds of thousands of people who died due to his cuts to DOGE.

It sounds like this is more to do with your ideology than Elon Musk.

Humans are tribal, in modern times that tribe is usually their nation, and they care deeply about the survival of their tribe.

If immigration is seen as changing the fundamental nature of that tribe (nation) people will resist it.

We need to figure out a way to deal with that fact if we want to continue to have relatively open borders.
