And this is the guy who the Anti-Defamation League defended with a waffle of a statement that his awkward gesture was “made in a moment of enthusiasm”. Though I should not be surprised, because fascists actually hate each other and are only allies out of convenience. Hasbara and its tentacles are secretly seething to hate on Musk.

At least AI won’t fire you.

McNamara fallacy at its finest. They hear figures and potential savings and then jump into the hype without considering the context. It is the same when they heard of lean manufacturing or Toyota way. Companies thought it is cost saving rather than process improvement.

News of malfunctioning Tesla cars and Musk going crazy are still not enough to crash Tesla stocks to zero. Which I am hoping will happen not just to inflict sorrow on Musk and his wealth, but so that I could hedge against the stock 😂

Yes, but the motivation behind the rhetoric is far more sinister and cynical. They’re demonising affordable healthcare as excuse to stay home and play videogames.

Well, thankfully Dugin and Putin are suffering and from imperialist brain rot and never considered external factors outside their control. As someone from former colonial country, I do find bigger powers to constantly underestimate and patronise smaller countries. It is utterly stupid to invade a country who historically hates you. I always say this, it is like Britain invading Ireland and India again, and the British delusionally expecting to be re-welcomed.

I don’t mean to diminish the lives needleesly lost on both sides, but the war in Ukraine should put the final nail in the coffin in Russian jingoism and will justly serve them the humble pie. No one could see how Russia will remain a great power after the war, with so many young lives lost going to exacerbate the already dwindling population, and re-shifting the economy from war footing to civilian mode without serious ramifications. Russia’s international prestige is also badly tarnished and her traditional allies would neither trust nor respect Kremlin as a peace guarantor in the future. There are no politicians worth their salt who could replace Putin after his eventual death and keep the country going. The country could become a Chinese vassal at some point.

To be fair to Honda, they are doing what is expected of any companies in a capitalist system, actually innovate and diversify in order to remain competitive. Most other companies would rather stick to their traditional products and services, even if those products and services are written on the wall that they are becoming obsolete.

The accusations are leveled at all social media.

I am actually getting tired of these rhetorical questions written as headlines. Just say what you want to say!

I guess this is a prime example of the vocal minority

Yeah, but they got the attention they wanted and grifters got the profit they want from rage baiting.

Because American politicians would rather spend the money on engaging international wars. NASA will only get the funding it desperately needs if one of US’ rivals one up them, like how the launch of Sputnik spurred the race to the moon.

Obligatory:

De-anonymising Yandex

Me: Ha! Good thing I am not Russian!

De-anonymising Meta

Me: Damn…and it is hard for me to let go because my social circle use Meta-owned social media and couldn’t care less about privacy…I am toast…

so I would be weary about gleaning financial advice from a chatbot.

Oh yes, I use the bots for projections, which I don’t necessarily take on the face value. Some calculations had been off but as long as I gain some actual profits, I am content enough.

The maker of Deep Seek made it so it would be easier for him to do stocks, which I am doing as well. Unless you all expect us to get degree on how to manually calculate the P/E ratio, potential loss and earnings, position sizing, spread and leverage, compounding, etc., then I will keep using AI. Not everyone of us could specialise on particular areas.

You are right. I just corrected my comment.

The dieselgate scandal is why I am so disappointed when I heard that Volkswagen outsold Tesla in Europe for the number one spot since the start of the year. I have been hoping it would a more scrupulous company (and non-Chinese EV manufacturer) that took the number one spot for European EV cars sold.

Well, the fact is that there are also a LOT of dumb customers willing to buy crap.

As much as everyone love Oblivion…it all started from there with the $9 horse armour DLC.

God knows why.

Yet somehow there’s enough of a customer base for that that they sell it.

Kids. Fucking kids. Thankfully I am never that stupid to buy individual DLCs even when I was a child, which is compounded by familial circumstances and education, but kids will be kids. Either they stole their parent’s credit card to pay for useless virtual items, or they were spoiled and never taught with financial literacy.

But even so, Netflix still retain good sound quality compared to alternative sources.

I definitely look at the file size first. Although, as you already alluded to, sometimes it gets cheated with the resolution being cropped to either the top or side. And a major issue with downloading large file sizes is if you are unlucky enough that there aren’t many seeders.
