They got a special agreement that anyone who bought it could not sell the shares for the first 120 days. You cannot short a share that you can't trade or buy.

After 120 days SpaceX gets dumped into the NASDAQ index funds by force whether you want to have it or not. This will pump up the value of the stock making shorting it basically impossible until right before the collapse. Unless you have insider information then you will not be able to catch that and deal with it. You will just lose your money.

You need to wake up. All of the systems designed to protect you and to give you even a ghost of a chance in the market have been dismantled and you are in the process of being stripped for parts. Unless something drastic changes you are going to lose all your property.

Once the target enters the correct password, PamStealer displays a message stating that the file is damaged and can't be installed. This is designed to be a decoy to prevent the target from suspecting anything is amiss.

Same sort of technique I used back in secondary school, lol ;) We had a programming class (in Basic on DOS), and it was painfully trivial, so I'd always complete the assignments in like 5 minutes and then spend the rest of class messing around. So one thing I wrote was a program that mimicked the DOS prompt, including common commands, and when someone ran the login command and typed in their username and password, it would say that the password was incorrect so they'd think they had typed it wrong (while it was actually saving their username and password, then logging out of my account), so that when they tried again, it worked. I would launch on a bunch of computers in the lab after class when I could get away with it..

Among the passwords collected were the teacher's administrator username and password. So when it came time to write my final project for the course, among the various demo-style scenes in it was a stereogram generator. The hidden image in the stereogram was her username and password. ;)

(Thankfully she had a good attitude about it... seemed like she wanted to get mad at me but also found it funny. In retrospect, that could have gone very badly had she gotten angry...)

AD or BC? This matters. If Bill Gates is a time-travelling reptile from the Pleiades, and put chips into vaccines, it could be that all who took the vaccine will be spirited back into the Bronze Age and offered up as human sacrifices.

The truth is way out there.

All you need is some raw milk and colloidal silver and you'll be right as rain! Oh and some roadkill. Don't forget to eat roadkill. /s

I hope you get better I cannot even imagine the bullshit you hear from people if you tell them this IRL...

Patrick Boyle on YouTube covered this but the market for satellite internet is completely tapped out. The high cost of launching satellites isn't going away because physics and that means the bare minimum you can get by charging is going to be about a hundred bucks a month and even that is really cutting it close. There are only so many people on planet Earth that can spare $100 a month for internet and can't just get wired internet which is cheaper and faster and better. Never mind competition from cellular internet.

But what's funny here in a holy shit we are screwed kind of way is SpaceX did such a huge scam IPO and it's going to drain so much cash from everyone's 401ks, 10 trillion dollars is just lying there waiting for the Epstein class to take. So it's no surprise other people are looking at that and getting in on the action. I just saw an article from an economist talking about how the only way to fund the AI expansion is to put their worthless stock into your retirement plan and snag all your money.

People keep telling me that they are just going to pick their own stocks. That's not a retirement plan that's being a day trader. If you have a full-time job and it's not day trader that really isn't practical in the real world. You simply do not have the time to do the research and track the stocks so that you can reliably earn the returns you need to retire off of your investments. That's why index funds were created in the first place. It was a safe place to park your money that was heavily regulated and controlled.

SpaceX broke all those rules and they were allowed to do it because you're not paying attention and NASDAQ looked at all those fat sacks of cash and said we want some of that.

Now the only question is will you die of old age before they get around to taking your property? Because if you're under 65 the answer is no.

But he did so overseas so it doesn't show up in the statistics. It is strange that he the greatest mass murderer of the 21st century though. I guess maybe Henry Kissinger might be in the running.



As for the orange pedophile the effects of his actions don't really kick in until after the midterms because he doesn't want you to know what he did to you. We did take millions of people off their health care so we could squeeze billionaire tax cuts through the reconciliation process and get past the filibuster for those extremely unpopular tax cuts... Oh and your taxes went up assuming you're American which will, I mean honestly with that comment I have questions...

After the midterms suburban and rural hospitals will start closing down because they got huge income cuts from the Medicaid cuts. So death rates will tick up. We also massively deregulated a wide variety of safety protocols and environmental regulations so expect more cancers and more food poisoning.

On the other hand murder rate keeps going down despite the Republicans best efforts so there is that but on the other other hand they do seem like they want to get us into a really really big Vietnam style war and send a few million Young Americans off to die in the Middle East. It's pretty clear Trump was trying to get the country behind invading Iran which would require a absolutely enormous draft. And would result in a lot of dead people.

What I'm getting at here is that you're dealing with complex systems and you put two completely incompetent criminals and grifters in charge of them. The shit is going to hit the fan it's just going to take a little while for it to splatter on you personally.

... as in: If you get in bed with them, you'll get screwed.

You really have to be a special kind of dumb to buy anything from Facebook. What did you expect? Their entire business model is selling YOU.

Yeah, this is what I always worry about when I see studies like this. I know they always try to control for confounders, but it's really hard to do right. If you mess up, you get another "Regular wine drinking improves your health!" craze (wine consumption is correlated with wealth and better access to healthcare, and also, people with serious health problems often have to give up drinking)

Yeah, Musk could definitely drive the whole thing sideways. I'm afraid he might be getting increasingly detached from reality. I'm not so worried about the lack of focus on the chomper; it seems to me that the real issues facing Starship are all about how to handle re-entry heat. Also engine re-lights, but I have little concern they can solve that; it's been done many times before, including by SpaceX. If they can solve the rapid reuse after reentry problem, something no one else has done, ever, building various form factors will be a simple matter of engineering.

Yes, it was all super entertaining, especially with PJ covering all of it, and rarely missing a trick. Good times for those of us watching from the cheap seats. A huge waste of time and resources for IBM.

That's absolutely not what it means.

"Left the labor force" doesn't mean "they lost their job" it means "they aren't looking for a job". Examples of cases where people "leave the labor force" include (but aren't limited to):

* Retired.
* Had a child and decided to become a stay-at-home parent.
* Decided to spend their time caring for an elderly relative.
* Decided to go back to school.
* Gave up on working after being unable to find a job.
* Had a financial windfall and decided to stop working.

And so on. The "gave up after being unable to find a job" is not particularly likely in a job market where only 4.2% of people who want a job don't have one, though I suppose some may choose not to work rather than work in a less-desirable job than they had before.

Also, it's July 2. June employment numbers are basically worthless at this point. Give them a quarter or so to get more data and correct the numbers. The initial numbers are based on only on employer reporting data, which skews it in various ways. The government uses several other data sources including surveys, but it takes time for that data to come in, which is why these numbers are generally corrected 2-3 months after they come out.

AI slap generators create code with dubious copyright protections. Open source software relies entirely on copyright to enforce its license agreements so once you start polluting your code it's all downhill from there...

These are people who lost their jobs, spent months sometimes years looking for another one, could not find one, and gave up.

We have 720,000 people who are completely unemployable. Nobody will hire them to do anything except maybe pay them sub minimum wage and abuse them until their bodies break or they run out of money to steal.

That number is going to keep growing on top of the number of full-time working homeless.

In a country with more guns than people sooner or later that's going to be a problem. As automation continues to devour jobs we will eventually hit a tipping point where we can't pay for the services we need to have a even vaguely functional civilization. Police and fire will go first and you'll dial 911 but nobody will come.

A bunch of libertarian numb skulls think this is cool because they think they can just go around shooting people and for a time they are right.

The problem is the horde. Your dipshit libertarian uncle shoots somebody dead because they wandered into their house looking for food. Okay fine whatever. But another guy comes and this one has a baseball bat. So your uncle shoots that guy. The next guy has a machete and the next guy has a gun. He gets a few rounds off but your uncle is a crack shot so again down he goes. Sooner or later two or three of them show up and they have guns and your uncle kills one of them but the other gets a shot off that hits your uncle square in the arm and now he can't hold his rifle.. but damn your uncle is like John wick or some shit he finishes the other guys off. And in comes the next batch of them and this time your uncle has one good arm can't move fast enough and his leg gets taken out. But again your uncle is fucking Superman right so he kills them all. So now with a bum leg and a bum arm the final batch of guys shoots your uncle dead.

That's why you can't let civilization collapse and be okay. Once that happens there's a limitless supply of people who are coming to kill you and you have to kill every single one of them but they only have to kill you once.

But if rationality worked with these numbskulls then they wouldn't be libertarians would they?

Functional unemployment combines people who are underemployed and people who do not make enough money to be functional adults. People in this category who are getting by are either working homeless (we have half a million full-time working homeless) or they are receiving support from friends and family to keep a roof over their heads.

It's become so obvious that the books are cooked I don't think anyone can ignore it anymore and I have seen economists come up with all sorts of fun euphemisms to describe the actual situation.

None of this is sustainable. Here is where all the libertarian twats worried about toaster licenses show up to tell us why it's a good thing that Civilization is collapsing because nobody's going to tell them what to do right?

The average american, about 60%, read as a 6th grade level or the level of a 12-year-old. When you are 12 you get this burning desire to not be told what to do. Some people grow out of it and some people become libertarians or Republicans or some combination thereof.

Like the old joke, There are two novels that can change a bookish kid's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs

This is the blandest, most watered-down way to say "lost their job" yet. Quite nauseating.
