How do we fight that ? I'm thinking on this topic a lot lately - how do we change the system so that the bigger the company, the harder it becomes ? It's more of a political / societal issue. Similarly to housing - I believe

Interesting. And quite sad - we definitely should invest in things that make people lives better all around. There are countries were public bathrooms are everywhere - New Zealand is a good example. As a tourist, you're never too far f

That's what I'm saying, maybe not with right words then. Strong connections with kids are the most important thing, but it cannot be the only one. It wouldn't end great neither for both parties.

I believe parents should definitely aim for both. If you have kids and you prioritize your career to the point you never see your kids, and you will have huge and legitimate regrets later in life. Especially if you don't achieve Jobs &

Really curious if it's related somehow to the Venezuela one. Interestingly, New Zealand also experienced a well above average frequency of shakes recently, although the scientist don't see any relation yet. https://www

That explains the Spurs situation very poorly actually. They are in very unusual situation, similar to OKC when they had young Durant / Westbrook / Harden, in that they have Victor, but also Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle who are

Hilariously, the quote that comes to my mind when reading about this monstrosity, is one from Steve Jobs "Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you". Ferrari sells dreams. That&#x

Maybe I'm missing something, but where do they show up in the financial results ? They are yet to start paying this debt no ?

Did you actually read the S-1 ? Tesla is mentionned 87 times. And even they explicitly state that they have strategic collaboration. They supposedly biggest projects are developped together (Macrohard, Terafab - all fugazzi, but still). Rel

How so ? xAI / Twitter were merged in this year - they don't show up anywhere in the financials.

The S-1 states that it gets capacity from both Colossus 1 and Colossus 2.

What would be interesting to know how much did it cost xAI to build it ? Ai says between $18-$40 billion to just build, without running cost, but no idea how close to reality this is.

I know. They are very closely collaborating and are part of the same 'empire'. They will also go down together.

So be it. What's the alternative ? Continue a bubble ? Ride on the 'FSD by the end of the year' or 'thousands of Optimus next year' for the next 10 years ? The guys is openly lying and clearly a drug addict at this

Finally ! Can we end the debate about how mind blowingly profitable this company is ? Mind you, those numbers don't take into account YET the Twitter debt / xAI merger burden - which will run into tens of billions per year. I just

It seems to me that it feels that the world, or at least the US, decided that far far worse things are acceptable too. Not easy to be a parent and explain to kids that no, this is not how the world should be run. How do we expect them to ha

Why not ? Why do we allow global tech businesses and leaders to somehow be able to make billions in profits in countries, but don't pay any taxes or have close to 0 responsibility ?

Naive question - why couldn't we just launch this nuclear waste into ... space ?

If you're interested in better thinking, go read a bit about Charlie Munger - he's gone now, but he was thinking about thinking for quite a long time and has some good advice. Farnam Street used to be a very good blog too, albeit

It's good to hear that more people are realizing that Tesla is nowhere near where they claim to be. For anobody observing it from the sidelines, it was obvious for the past 3 years at least, that Tesla will not achieve real unsupervise

Exactly that. There was a very nice talk by Warren Buffett explaining that to business leaders at the height of the dot-com bubble - if I remember correctly it's full text is the introduction to his biography 'The Snowball: Warren

That's not accurate - the uprising was not planned in collaboration with the Russians. The whole point of the uprising was to liberate Warsaw before the Russians get in, as everybody knew that Russians are not liberating Poland - they

Another very funny 'fact' - Tesla Semi. If you look at their quarterly releases: - until 2025 it was listed as Pilot Production - in Q1 2025 it moved to Construction - in Q4 2025 it moved to Tooling - in Q1 2026 it moved ... back

About those underwriters - to quote the venerable Charlie Munger "they will sell 'shit' as long as 'shit' can be sold".
