I wonder if the extended downtime is just due to the on-call engineers waiting for their azure auth tokens to refresh within azure's own damn network.
Is cocaine and marijuana available from the government too? If not, what relevance is your comment?
Was this the first and only time you were waiting at a bus stop in Switzerland? If so, perhaps a notable story, if not then we'll need more information to conclude how bad this thug problem really is in Switzerland.

It's in quite some state of disrepair, with most of the tubes rotted. I'm (very slowly) restoring it. It's fun but it's a piano too, so that part needs restoring first, and then the player mechanism next. So many small parts to attend to.
Anyway, they can be quite cheap to get if you're happy with a broken one, because they're hard to move (they are even heaver than a normal piano!). Just try get one that at least works ok as a piano!

Companies and banks aren't interested in investing where the people have power. They want to invest where the companies and banks themselves have power.
So long as the companies and banks can influence the gangsters, they don't care.

"Liu, who answered some of my questions, did not respond when I asked for the exact language the Bluesky PBLLC used to describe its public benefit mission when incorporating the company. She also didn’t say whether the company would publish its annual benefits reports — reports that PBLLCs are required to create each year, but PBLLCs incorporated in Delaware, where Bluesky was incorporated, are not required to make them public."
MMT is more like: "printing money is not limited by the things you think it is".
Do you know of an option that is more likely to succeed, for the money?
but they will be doing both those things.
people who go to space don't stop driving cars when they get back.
compliant ones I would expect, which seems to be the aim of the process.
by this point, it's hard not to conclude that OriginalMrPink and I are being wilfully misunderstood here.
OP is interested in more details about the deal, particularly what power the investors might have, to ascertain for himself to what extent the investment might change the business.
what OP is asking is, what did the investors receive in exchange for giving fly the money.
It's obviously perfectly fine if you don't want to or can't answer those questions and nobody is owed answers to them.
Just, you're known for a straight talking style so the omission is conspicuous.
> but what are you giving away for this? Are founders selling their shares? Where is the beef? $70M can be everything and nothing at the same time.
proceeds to not really talk about it
yes a fair bit, thanks for showing an interest in me!
> Again, his follower Sam Bankman-Fried has demonstrated this very clearly
I think it's much clearer that Bankman-Fried had absolutely no expectation that his rule-breaking would meet Singers requirements and, you know, he was just lying for the many normal reasons people lie.
> People who profess to believe in Singerian doctrine can not be trusted to mean what they are saying
in which case, nobody who believes in (this) Singerian doctrine should reveal that they do so.
Anyone telling you they follow this doctrine severely compromises their ability to actually execute on it. The rational thing for a Singerian secrecy advocate to do would be to publicly attack the doctrine, as you are doing.
A bit sad, but as you say, I think I live in the moment and I'm generally quite happy. I don't remember many of those cringey and painful things (whereas my partner has well above-average autobiographical memory and is always replacing those cringey moments in her head). I still take photos and enjoy looking at them, to see all the fun stuff I've done :)
so I don't think "any utterance" of his or his followers is inherently untrustworthy no.
