Maybe because kids don't really know what they wanted.

If he didn't play the first 6years, he won't be able to enjoy "jamming" with friends

From the comments below, I am fast coming to conclusions that it is impossible to get a rational clear headed discussion on Elon in HN

Saying people "looked quite international" is prejudicial

You don't get a pass because Elon and Twitter happens to be involved.

It is very unlikely if upto has of Twitter 2000+ employees are "H1B hostages", but I doubt that will serve your purpose

If you don't have any problem with your daily itenary beinf tracked, then no explanation will be good enough for you. Just respect the fact that people don't want their daily activities available to 3rd parties

He did not even offer to pay it, that was the reason for the law suit.

anyone who actually think he was forced to pay 43bn when he could have paid 1bn. (even 2bn) are just not thinking correctly.

Read the actual SEC link. No one will pay 43bn is he can even pay 2bn and out!

> Twitter wasn't doing anything special, and it's easy to launch a clone of their business model. And yet nobody has done it? People think social media is easy to start and succeed. FYI, its like catching lightning.

There is an opt out of 1bn. That is the only thing he would pay if he wanted to walk...

It is joke being taken seriously that he was forced to buy it. No one will spend $43bn to avoid paying 1bn (opt out fee)

He decided to buy because he feels its better to own it.

Found the article very interesting and, loved reading. We find fulfillment in different things, and there is no one single best for many people.

PS: I found the snarky responses and accusations of "poverty tourism" to be amusing. It looks like there are a lot of bitter people who sees only their way and demonize anyone else who dont see it.

Live your life, if you find physical work a therapy, do you... if you find seating and staring at a screen your own therapy.. do you!

Hopefully, we stop trying to justify perfectly clear articles to people are only interested in making other as miserable as they are.

amachefe — Sun, 18 Sep 2022 22:48:54 +0000

No full rewrites place.

I will start by properly correcting the NGINX codes.

I feel solving that will provide a bases to rewrite the other parts or the codebases.

Find new servers and backup everything onto the server and do the changes there including tests, and move successfully ones to production.

That is not true.

There are many countries in the world who run different system of governments, and many as doing it quite successfully.

There are many things (more than monarchy) that sets Americans and UK apart... even Europe generally.

Europeans civilization are 1000s of years old, America is a baby compared to them, the history and memory are very different.

This is NOT a new development. With or without the Queen, countries under the sovereign have been planning to leave, which is not opposed by anyone.

Ironically, Commonwealth is actually getting bigger. The last commonwealth games was surprisingly well attended and celebrated.

This is only a good advice if your own business works. If not you are wasting your time.

Also you dont know where the "enough job" is going to be rated. Your manager will determine that

1. Your excuse here is not good enough to debunk this excuse. Cost of living is a general cost for people living in that location. Family support is not available for everyone. If you move to this location, you will not like if they use family support as an excuse.

Location pay also affects the amount of taxes to be deducted.

2. I do not understand this. If your manager thinks you are not as talented as your juniors then you have to find a better work place.

3. Again, this seem subjective. However, you are sounding like you do not have any option. If you do then use it, if not then be grateful for what you have,

> Vigilantism isn't a great thing, but what choice do we have when authorities allow hate sites like Kiwifarms to stay online? After all, as Yonatan Zunger famously wrote, tolerance is not a moral precept.

In conclusion, vigilantism is fine if done against someone you dont like... cool

Everyone here has defended the CEO right to make those decision. The disagreement is his argument and justfication. He should just come out and say "I did it because i can and want to" not those long winded excuses

As I usually use DDG I was surprised that this link was actually true. Initially thought it was trolling.

I wonder why Google wants to intervene in the results.
