i’m not a fan of musk at all; however this is in the technology community because it’s a good technological breakthrough.

which is why we need tax money being spent on the communal level. not the federal level. it’s the fed gov that spends it on the military, it’s the municipality that spends it on schools.

does anybody have any numbers on how many taxes he actually pays? (with sources pls)

yeah personally i would be fine if it could access anything but my own personal files / the OS installation.

thanks, i didn’t know that! i’ll keep it in mind.

the simple solution would be to put every game into a sandbox by default

What matters is the effective exhaust velocity. For chemical rockets it’s 3 km/s. The article doesn’t seem to mention it?

On top of that, ion drive travel is notoriously slow. So it’s not good for human travel because you would need more life support system for the longer journey, including more food and water, which makes the rocket heavier and is thus undesirable. It would only be useful for cargo transport where it doesn’t matter whether it spends 6 months or 3 years in space.

lifting a 100g schoko 1 meter per second, on Earth

in space no because there’s no gravity, so lifting things doesn’t take energy, only acceleration does. too lazy to calculate now, the relation is simple but i’m lazy.

the article gets wilder the further in i go.

Zuck of all people is one of the dumbest most arrogant assholes in existence. It’s crazy that he doesn’t regularly forget how to breathe. Yet he’s an “infinillionaire” (gotta remember that word btw).

yes

heh, somebody gets my references ^^

It’s a Schrodinger moment for humans.

who you truly are, you can only find out, if you look inside!

only when you do rapid trading. not if you hold for long times.

uhh, i doubt that. at least as long as the company has a sane core business, it’s stable long-term (or rather goes up with the general economy). it can’t “go down more than it goes up” on average.

thank you :-)

i feel like this message is finally getting through. many people say “work is good” because they think it “purifies character” or sth, which is a very christian/boomer thing to say.

where your pension fund is being traded and i bet you would care slightly more about that.

no not really. as long as i don’t sell, it doesn’t affect me if it goes up and down all the time.

no. like, the term “working class” can be interpreted in two ways: (1) people who are inherently workers, (2) people who are forced to work to survive.

which one is being replaced?

insider trading can only make money if somebody bets against it. i think as long as nobody bets against it, it should be fine (as it doesn’t actually generate any profits).

well, i can concur. my eyes have trouble adjusting to looking into the distance when i have spent hours in front of the screen. they adapt after a few minutes to hours though.
