Noob question: Why isn't it passing in front of stars? Are we seeing a sequential dimming of occluded stars along the plane of the ecliptic?

One wonders is this is actually just a case of monounsaturated fat vs. polyunaturated & saturated fats.

Or something truly associated with olives.

Been there. It's a hard choice.

I took some risk off the table and did the deal.

Was it the right choice? I'm still not sure. I was certainly less stressed about money afterwards. But I was also left feeling like I probably short circuited many more meaningful (and profitable) levels of success. How much would we have been worth? I'll never know.

But... looking back on it... If I had it to do over again, I probably would have made the same call.

I know exactly where you're at.

Here's the question: What else do you have going on that gives you hope, enthusiasm and energy?

If the answer is "nothing". Don't do the deal.

If you have a list of other things in your life, or things you want to try. Do it.

Time for some climate science recalculations?

I assume the writer of the article will be imprisoned... /s

Not to mention that (like other Musk projects) scalability is a huge issue.

What's the throughput of cars on electric sleds through tunnels?

Crickets...

... Remember when software wasn't cloud based?

Has anyone actually seen the hardware in action?

Last I heard there was some cumbersome tethered version that was described as less advanced than Microsoft's, and years behind.

Have things gotten better? (Provably better?)

I completely believe this. I was far more sophisticated in my late 20's.

In my late 30's I learned to stop being such a douche... and I became far simpler.

We all see through the Matrix as we get older...

You'll never get that to fly in today's political climate. We have a serious problem of righteous minds.

Terrible.

Aaand...one more datapoint showing us that Protoss were underpowered.

Just in case this isn't 100% clear to anyone: "Townie" is derogatory.

What 90% of college graduates fail to consider is that many of those townies will one day be far richer than they are.

The idea of students 'looking down' at (for example) the local plumber is often ridiculous, considering a plumbers' hourly rate often exceeds that of many lawyers.

As we all know, there is a frightening, decreasing correlation between college education and financial success. At the same time there are plenty of locals who work hard and pour money into real estate.

It's a disturbing truth for most college graduates who drink the kool-aid of "education equals financial superiority". And colleges are only too happy to serve up that kool aid.

eg: I know a guy my age who owns a dozen hardware stores. He made his first million before he was 30, and he dropped out of high school. He's also one of the sharpest business people I know.

Be nice to everyone. You might learn something.

Very nicely done. Congrats.

Always thought the TR games were pretty awful, personally. Those were the days when they were still trying to get 3rd person 'right'. But the implementation here is solid.

No conflation.

But Economics uses mathematics. Not for proofs (although some misled academics disagree), but for understanding of prior performance.

The real disaster is that mathematics is increasingly using economics and other social sciences as a filter for what is permissible to be calculated. :/

Note: I said "purely economic" and you essentially said: "But social".

See the danger? Intellectual discussions must now be passed through the filter of social narratives?

So pointing out any mathematical reality which has negative social implications is therefore a display of support for said negative social implications?

No. That's ridiculous. The world isn't rainbows and unicorns. And many morally commendable policies will and must fail mathematically.

Being the "messenger" that points out said mathematical realities isn't a display of support for fascism.

Be very careful of the word "home ownership". It means different things to different people.

Much like the weasel-word "affordability" (which means better access to credit, and not cheaper prices) "home ownership" means "mortgaged, bank-owned properties". Both terms mean debt slavery and a preservation of the status quo (ie: property owners stay rich. buyers, mortgagers and prospective buyers remain poor).

What is needed is cheaper housing.

Not "affordability" or easier-to-access debt.

The way to get cheaper housing is to destroy housing as an investment class. And the way you do that is by taxing 2nd and 3rd properties at increasingly higher rates.

At first they offered $400 for volunteers.

Then they offered $800 for volunteers.

Then when they still had no volunteers they randomly selected some people using (supposed) computerized random selection.

When one of those randomly selected people refused, they beat him, and dragged him bleeding, off the plane.

Apparently $800 was their limit. After the limit is reached they roll in the muscle and beat you up if you don't comply.

I smell a hilariously large payout for this poor guy sometime soon. This is a PR disaster for United.

Very nicely done.

Even as a simple private browsing option, it's great.

Have fun on your vacation.

The unbridled price-inflation of basic goods which mathematically must follow any broad per-capita capital injection will certainly not bring anyone closer together ... except maybe in terms of overcrowded / shared housing as rents soar.

> "3. And that nobody involved really thought this was a serious issue, much less a crime."

I'm not sure where that point came from. It's not only a crime, it's an extremely serious crime. What on Earth are you talking about?

LIBOR is a derivative of daily rate data which is shared between banks. It is not rigged centrally.

You can't tell investors that the rate is based on a daily measurement of interbank risk, and then just go ahead and base that rate on something entirely different when it suits you. That's called fraud.

I think it would infrequently involve mollusks. But even if it did -- it's hard to imagine said mollusks would be moving.

But let's give you the benefit of the doubt and assume for a moment that tidal forces below the cliffs were strong enough to dislodge the anchors of a few otherwise stationary shellfish, I don't think said motions would represent an act of defiance.

ps: I am not in possession of anything called a "not actually", so I don't believe it could possibly be doing the "same thing". Or anything for that matter.

> "“Investors are seeing the problems with a lot of these tech companies. And at some point, tech companies have to cut jobs.”"

This.

Right, but in that case the court is asking for specific documents which it knows exists.

In this case, the court is asking the man to provide evidence which the court is not aware of. And there also might be evidence for other crimes which the court isn't aware of.

This is also a right to privacy issue.
