  • I used to like and look up to SpaceX for the interesting stuff that they build,

    but nowadays i don’t care anymore. The company can fail for all i care. Musk spoiled it.

    The tipping point, for me personally, was when Musk seriously threatened to slash public spending in February this year. It shows a clear disrespect to the people, and frankly, a sociopathic attitude.

    Musk had everything, lots of money, lots of fame, lots of influence, but he threw it all away when he decided to threaten the wellbeing and lifelyhood of a lot of people just so that rich assholes can make an extra buck through tax cuts.















  • WTF is up with 40?

    People have names.

    I suppose that a counterexample to this might be Tibetan children, who get named at puberty, IIRC. Before that, they have no names. They are just referred to as “child” or “somebody’s child”.

    People’s names are all mapped in Unicode code points.

    I suppose a counterexample to that might be cultures which do not use script in general. Then, obviously, there’s no Unicode characters for these non-existant glyphs.
