Isn't the whole point to read about what others think or experienced to learn about things you personally hasn't?

She has a PhD in biotechnology and works in a lab. She is also quite thin (always was).

It's crab mentality disguised as moral position. It's especially obvious when the same people advocate for free access to drugs, alcohol or gambling. You should have freedom you do anything as long as it doesn't improve your life or move you to in social hierarchy.

Data centers are important but a few others also has them: Amazon, Microsoft, Meta. SpaceX will likely be in/at the top I AI dedicated precessing power in 2027 as well.

I don't see the moat. I see a company with a lot of other commitments that is not the best at delivering consumer facing products. They have some good cards but so do others.

Here we have NATO Secretary General and people are dismissing his opinion because "quote from random guy supporting Trump doesn't count". It's just ideological blindness/insanity at this point.

>>Trump and his cronies are clearly intolerant.

Well for one Trump ended a lot of racist policies of the previous administration so there is that. In some areas he is way more tolerant and sensible than what US had before.

>>Don't just post a pro-war view from a man who we know is pro-Trump.

If you are going to discard people who are pro-someone you don't like then you end up with a recipe for an echo-chamber.

It would be nice if we had more competent politicians trying to solve problems and make things more efficient though but that's a problem no democracy in EU solved. We are paying for years of kicking the can in the energy department now but on the other hand maybe that will speed-up transition to EVs which will be both great for standards of living and significantly more efficient.

Geopolitics is hard to predict but I am also in optimist camp when it comes to war in Iran. The oil is flowing again and Iran can't do much about it. Workarounds will be found. Ukrainians now have a way to really hurt Russia which may result in peace at some point as well. If anything it's clear Russia is not dangerous in conventional war. They have sabotage but that imo is going to be less and less efficient as infrastructure and intelligence improve to handle it.

Overall - a lot of things went wrong and we are still standing. Once the environment improve we are in great position to be one of the best places to live and work in EU.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte disagrees with your assessment: https://x.com/clashreport/status/2102671513337856357

So let's call it 50-50?

There is huge demand for it and it is perpetual. Just walk into those stores and see how many people shop there.

You are saying "sub-fiber" but Starlink will likely be faster for long round trips once enough new gen satellites are deployed.

That comes before the whole datacenters in space conversation.

>>Also, I'd say that "Trump bad" and "Elon Nazi" are, in that form, shorthands for a much longer argument that most people don't want to rehash.

Yeah and others don't want to hear them because they are not relevant to the discussion about say xAI product, Tesla or something Trump endorsed.

>>Many people who feel this way believe that Trump and others in his administration are openly fascist and are working to bring about a fascist form of government within the USA.

That's an assertion which a lot of reasonable people disagree with. Just don't insert it in threads which are not about politics and all will be fine.

>>There’s often frustration that every thread related to a Musk company includes a discussion about Musk, but Musk himself caused that by being the only tech founder to actively campaign for Trump.

Supporting Trump is a perfectly normal political position hold by around half of the voting population. If you can't see how reasonable, smart, hard working and honest people vote for Trump you need to adjust your world view. I suggest getting out mor and talking to people. "Musk is a Nazi" nonsense it just pure brain rot.

So those are low effort nonsense comments which don't belong.

I am all for that. Add to that actual enforcement and making reckless driving criminal offence so we can catch the terrible drivers before they kill anyone. That won't happen though because politics. Self-driving just might.

There is zero solace for a death caused by senseless drivers either. With machines and algorithms you can at least hope they would improve in the future. Humans won't. There will always be a small % of terrible ones.

Imo we should allow (and then enforce) self driving even if machines are still worse than humans (they aren't) because that's the only path we have and the sooner we start walking it the better.
