Is there some area of math that you consider particularly useful for software developers?
blueredmodern··on The Retreat to Muskworld
Yeah, it seemed pretty balanced and well thought out:

"Ploy for credibility, retreating even deeper into fantasy, pretense of reality, pure fantasy, contained within a world of fantasy, retreating into misinformation-fuelled fantasy world, runaway ego, less palatable, self-soothing fantasy bubble, fake statistics, blown deadlines, litany of bullshit, chronic inability, unprecedented publish delusion or deception, having drawn a poor hand, financial-cognitive nightmare, it’s hard to imagine anyone seriously believing that a night of delusional Disney Adult cringe, too childish to call a fraud, Musk’s increasingly-degenerate gambling run is slouching toward one last big coinflip"

Yeah, that's true for the incredible innovation in Neuralink and Paypal and OpenAI and Tesla, too. It's a total coincidence that Jeff Bezos and other billionaires fail.

Some people have a rather unhealthy obsession with Elon Musk, and ought to take a few hours off the Internet and get some sunlight.

It's right around the corner. The evidence that Musk is actually really dumb is riiiiight around the corner. And will continue to be, for a very long time.

His track record for being behind all these mindblowing innovations is off the record, but we don't like his face, so he doesn't deserve any credit for it!

You generally want to avoid getting malware into your network, but it is even more important to avoid allowing for exfiltration of data. So the "copy via USB-stick" serves a purpose and makes it MUCH harder to exfiltrate data.
