He is African American, though… :D

It only takes a few bad actors
No, it does not. That is the whole point of the decentralized system - the few bad actors can only have power over their specific instance and you can leave it anytime you want.
So the sentiment actually does not stay ;)
- Comment on Why do airplanes have big front "headlights"? 3 months ago:
Also if it’s a commercial plane as it sounds like it is traffic control and transponders kind of do that.
airplanes are routinely told to watch for a traffic in their vicinity. also, aviation is all about procedures and backups, so if someone makes a mistake, it is good if there is another link in the chain to prevent accident.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 4 months ago:
Not even sure if that’s the perpetrator.
they already know quite a lot, i find it highly unlikely they just released a photo of some random person in same clothes with same bag who just accidentally appeared in multiple places in close vicinity to the crime scene.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 4 months ago:
the all country’s law enforcement was partially hyperbole, partially not. it already got a lot more manpower than average murder, the system has to protect itself here, because if this goes unpunished, other rich people might be next, and rich people are those who control the system. that is not a conspiracy, that is the way of life, as they say.
now this guy is clearly not a professional, so who is he? he is either someone with personal motive or someone really dedicated to making a social commentary.
if it is the former and he is someone whose close person died because of being denied coverage or something like that, that is a) the way to find him and b) it probably means he doesn’t have funds to go hide in his den indefinitely, because he would use such funds towards treatment of the person he is avenging.
if it is the latter, than who knows, but i personally think it is someone described in the last paragraph.

I just hope he doesn’t get caught.
he will get caught. they already have his photo, he is not professional hitman, he can only evade for so long when there is the whole country’s law enforcement after him.

Assuming they catch him
they will catch him. they already have his photo, he is not professional hitman, he can only evade for so long when there is the whole country’s law enforcement after him.

- Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price 6 months ago:
that’s irrelevant. he owes someone 44B.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price 6 months ago:
I do think he was essentially forced to buy it.
he was, but it doesn’t contradict what i said. if he had a way to back out of his stupid bragging offer for 1b, and all he cared about was money, the reasonably thing would be to pay the fine, instead of paying 44 billion for something that doesn’t generate profit.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price 6 months ago:
More to the point though, I do wonder why he didn’t just pay the billion dollars to get out of the deal
I don’t know that he’s not in it for the money.
your first sentence explains he is not in it for money, if money were the concern, eating the 1b fine would be logical thing to do.
with his 270 billion net worth - which by the way includes assets not necessarily liquid cash
that’s how it works, no one has 270 billion in cash
I think the point is to destroy it so he doesn’t have to pay back what he borrowed to buy it.
that doesn’t make sense, destroying twitter doesn’t absolve him of obligation to return money he borrowed.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price 6 months ago:
it’s just that he could take big risks
yes, that is definitely part of his success. and since this strategy got him to position of richest person in the world, it is pretty clear that “genius at losing money” is not really accurate description of situation.
as for twitter, he clearly is not in it for the money, otherwise he wouldn’t be there in the first time.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price 6 months ago:
that’s why he is the richest person in the world with 270B net worth.
look, i hate the asshole as much as the other guy, but changing meaning of words and underestimating the enemy never helped anyone.
