For a rational person, absolutely not. For a sociopathic billionaire, absolutely. Elon probably doesn’t give a fuck about the USA, even if it sank into the ocean tomorrow he would still have enough money for thousands of lifetimes in any of his vacation homes around the world.

It’s a gamble: If he succeeds in swaying the election then he and his new buddy can make those legal troubles disappear! If he fails… well… Failure will be incredibly bad for both of them.

Many of those cases happened outside Russia in countries like Britain and Spain. Musk leaves the US on a regular basis too.

This is conjecture but there’s growing evidence that Trump was sharing US intelligence with Putin and would likely do the same again. If you can’t beat them, join them I guess.

I have a sneaking suspicion that when Elon got involved in the Ukraine war via Starlink, Putin reminded him that he might mysteriously fall off a balcony or catch a sudden case of polonium and Elon has become a lapdog for him ever since.

The online retail store Amazon actually loses money too, the main generator of profit for Amazon is actually AWS. Every other branch of the business is about market control.

“It isn’t transparent,” said a woman named Elizabeth who wouldn’t give her last name.

What are you hiding Elizabeth?!

That’s why they’re trying to take power. Billionaires would rather destroy the world and drive all life to extinction than to give up their private jets and yachts.

It’s not a “community”, it’s one person making all the posts because I guess they wanted to make hating Linux their entire personality. 🤷

Buying a social media network: $40 billion

Buying a US election: $0.13 billion

Democracy is fucked.

What do you mean, corporations that have a legal obligation to maximize value for shareholders weren’t passing money on to consumers out of the goodness of their hearts? Nobody could have seen that coming! /S

I hope cyclists start riding together slowly in large groups in the middle of traffic lanes such that cars can’t get around them, as they are legally entitled to do.

I find it ironic that the federal government sends out carbon tax rebate cheques and the majority of people hate it, but the provincial government sends out random cheques and the majority of people are going to eat it up.

I’d like to preemptively note that both cheques are in fact sourced from taxes. 🤷

I think you need to be more explicit about what you mean by “not dependent on time”. Setting t = 1 for that formula doesn’t eliminate time, it means you’re advancing time by 1 unit for every iteration of the formula defined by the units used to measure the velocity and acceleration (i.e. if v and u are measured in meters/second and a is meters/second^2 then t = 1 means you are modelling 1 second passing).

If you mean deterministic as in there are no outside influences, instead you’d want to take the distance the object needs to travel before it hits something in it’s current trajectory then work backward to find out how much time it would take to cover that distance at the current velocity and acceleration.

Imagine being the world’s richest deadbeat father.

That team writes emulators that run directly on Nintendo consoles, so they would likely test it on development versions of those consoles the same way actual console games are developed and tested. Otherwise they would be testing a Switch version of an SNES emulator running inside a Switch emulator on a Windows PC that would introduce it’s own errors.

I personally don’t think it’s so likely that Nintendo would write and maintain a Windows emulator just for their museum if an open-source project exists that they could legally use for free under that project’s license terms. Only someone with insider knowledge would be able to say for sure though.

Emulator projects should all add a clause in their EULA that specifically forbids Nintendo from using their software, then they can sue Nintendo for breaching their license. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

I understand the actual market reasons that buybacks and layoffs raise a stock price, but it’s always been counter-intuitive to me that shrinking the workforce that actually produces the capital and divesting money that could have been used to grow the company would be seen as positive indicators to investors.
