> it would be karmic justice to start wiping out elderly investors because they were the ones with political control ignoring all the problems building over the decades

Are you "ignoring all the problems" of today? Or do you just not have the "political control" to change things? What makes you think that "elderly investors" had more control during their lifetimes?

> getting career advice from John Carmack is just like getting career advice from a lotto winner, not everyone has the luck/genius

To a large extent, career success is the result of a combination of hard work and luck. The more you have of one, the less you have to rely on the other.

> If this succeeds, it will be a data collection tool the likes of which the world has never seen

I'm pretty sure that this type of data collection tool is in use today by the Chinese government.

No amount of tax increase alone is going to address a $22 trillion debt. Reducing the size of the state will be required.

"chaff was released by a military C130 [sic] northwest of Evansville."

Not exactly a mystery.

This is pretty clearly a hit piece.

Maybe I'm dense, but I'm failing to see any real problem here. Certainly none that would warrant government infringing on private property rights.

For an "anti-capitalist", he sure has a lot of books for sale on Amazon.

Held in "secret detention" and posting a full apology including praise for the government. It sounds like the Chinese government is in full tyranny mode.

I've never understood how the federal government holding all of this land has held up in court. What is the constitutional justification for this?

Somebody please build a news distiller that extracts the facts from such articles.

As one who has watched the golf equipment market for some time, I can tell you that many are willing to spend money for incremental improvement rather than spend time to get better through practice.

> Flying cars seems like a horrible idea.

It depends on the use case. For high-density urban areas, the challenges probably outweigh the benefits. But for low-density, rural/semi-rural regions, those who commute an hour or more could really benefit from such a vehicle. For example, hospital staff driving home after a long shift.

Thank you for posting this. I had not heard of the Pamphlet wars.

> an existing rescue effort underway was working

From what I understand, he got involved while rescuers were still considering their options.

This is why I will never own a Tesla Model 3. If I can't adjust the air conditioning while looking at the road, I don't want it.

Have you documented the build process? If not, can you tell us more about the parts you used and the online resources you consulted?

The GAU-8 can no longer kill top-line Russian armor? Source?

Why is this content being blocked in the U.S.?

> I read through the list and agreed with every item.

I'm not particularly wealthy, but I agree. And you have my sincere congratulations on your success, which I, unlike others, recognize as the product of your hard work and risk-taking.

Nah, once there are established rules about which classes of aircraft use which altitudes, corridors, etc, it will be just like private aviation operating in the same sky as commercial airlines.

Clearly Amazon should stop giving to Mary’s Place.

How can one prevent this and still carry a cell phone? Would keeping one's phone in a faraday bag defeat this constant tracking?

It sounds to me like Musk has a card up his sleeve. If he were truly in fear for the continued existence of Tesla, he would have been very patient and accommodating toward those whom he might need to approach later for more capital. I suspect that he has already secured the capital (or assurances that he will).

Does anybody know what data Facebook harvests related to one's usage of their Oculus VR devices?

To counter this in fresh produce, is it possible to just do a thorough rinsing in the sink before preparation/consumption?

It's a shame this is being downvoted. It's a valid point of view that has merit and should be part of the discussion.

> got great experience...

Which, of course, tech companies don't value at all. From what I've seen, they much prefer to hire a fresh grad over somebody with a long record of proven performance.

So, I agree that one should seek work in tech at a non-tech company.

> Because of my position I can't say much...

Of course you can. Maybe not at work, "on the record", but if there's a social gathering, you might, say, offer your view in a frank conversation about their future prospects.
