's ok, I'll take one for the team
Absolutely riveting and insightful article, this one.
Who'da thought it that to get stuff done quickly but correctly, ya gotta move fast, actually do things, but also think about what you're doing. Mind = b l o w n!
Capitalist scumbag leverages capital to create a useful service that some people find useful. Wow!
By that metric, <Walmart ; McDonalds ; Nestle ; Activision ; Eli Lilly ; choose your favorite corporation> are a great boon to humanity and we would be so lost without them!
In my defense, dismissing him as a charlatan and not engaging with his latest news is the most effective way to combat Musk-ism. People have taken him seriously long enough and in enough numbers to give him some air of legitimacy when none is deserved.
It's the same strategy with internet trolls; you either ignore them completely, or call them out on trolling and engage no further. Musk is, in some sense, the internet's largest troll. And droves of people have taken the bait.
Oh, no, is this a Musk-worshipping ecosystem? RIP my karma points
It's some form of typical Musk charlatanism, that's for sure.
Why would I need this when I already have a full Tome of Identify with 50 charges?
Inferior fleshlings lay before me... as barely breathing hunks of meat
With the blood of Unicron in my veins, I reign like a god
A god amongst insects
I have existed from the morning of the universe
And I shall exist until the last star falls from the night
My ultimate peace would be granted by the destruction of all life, stars and nebulae
Leaving only nothingness and void
Although I have taken the form of this machine
I am all men as I am no man
And therefore
I am a god
Even in death there is no command but mine
Your race is of no consequence
Laserbeak...
Kill them all
Carbon capture technologies tend to cost more carbon to operate than they are able to actually sequester. Currently very much a pipe dream, especially considering that on a worldwide scale, the carbon equation is still overwhelmingly pushing in the worse direction (more carbon being burned, more forests being removed).
Ahahah, similar situation here. I thought maybe our IT department had noticed my activity here and decided to throttle my connection (which would still be an odd solution instead of just outright blocking it), but still it took me a few minutes to suspect that maybe the problem was with HN itself.
Of course, but they're liable to damage their reputation as a VC firm if they continue funding garbage without vetting it at all, just cause someone's techbro buddy asked nicely for YC's backing.
