I don't think Tesla is based in China

That seems to be what was used here. Then the trust sold it for some cash.

On land you contractually purchased with the condition that development be blocked indefinitely? Then why sign the contract? If they wanted a time limit, they could have put it in the contract, or not signed the contract.

My advice to you is to avoid getting so worked up over a single tweet (much less one which is normal), especially if it's just because it uses a single, clinical, inoffensive word you personally don't like. You're going to blow a coronary if you keep it up like this. Touch grass.

Perhaps because a correlation you assumed was there (more smartness = more ability to sit still alone with one's thoughts), is not actually as strong as you thought? If one does not start with that assumption, there is no inherent conflict in the 3 pieces of evidence you cited.

Or perhaps because you are smarter than you give yourself credit for :)

Unfortunately now we have both.

What exactly is your problem with it? "just look at this" while pointing to a normal tweet doesn't exactly convey a point.

> You don't have to build it, run it, or even import it

If you just installed something with npm, chances are you'll be running it shortly, either as a tool or a library, probably minutes or seconds later. I imagine the use case of installing an npm package you don't plan on using or transitively importing, constitute a small portion of npm installs.

It's not unreasonable: you're already installing software, which presents risks. If post-install scripts were not a thing, a payload could still run because you ran the software you installed. Or because the installer added it to auto-run. Or because the installer placed it somewhere where it would be dynamically loaded all the time.

Some sort of decentralized trust web seems like another option, though less viable.

> we have to acknowledge the system is broken

The system is broken. It probably takes, what, 10 seconds or less to use a residential or foreign proxy, 6+ months to internationally track and prosecute a single offender? So like a million times more effort going the regulatory route.

Do you have anything to add to that sentiment? Maybe a pro-forma, rather than feelings?

The pension fund is the customer here. The market is already deciding. You're free to invest your own money as you see fit. The pension fund's money is not yours to decide what to do with.

Checking this shows that 12 years is longer than 1 year, and thus is a better metric.

Pensioners should get the same amount regardless of investments, as long as there is enough funding, which it seems there is for the moment.

Of course, if someone wants to risk their own money, they can invest in whatever they want. They can even sell their pension for a cash lump sum and invest that.
