@jk_rowling I still only own 0.25 Bitcoins btw

@jk_rowling Pretty much, although massive currency issuance by govt central banks is making Bitcoin Internet 👻 money look solid by comparison

@prageru Pretty much

@devonwerkharder Frankly, I don’t even know what “plethora” means

@kimbal True

@Gfilche @flcnhvy Agreed, people have forgotten how much in-person events matter! Also, there’s a lot to see. It’s not just a presentation.

@PPathole @AdamDavidHalsey @devonwerkharder Making great candy is harder than it seems!

@koro_alex @PeoplesPartisan @Orangemangood11 @sendasspicz @tanthallas @MarcusMaximus04 Maximize the freedom of action of the people

@flcnhvy True

@flcnhvy Great wiki piece!

@DavidMainayar Napoleon was incredible. “It is my wish that my ashes may repose on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of the French people, whom I have loved so well.”

The Age of Napoleon by Will & Ariel Durant is an amazing book

@akidesir @DanielleFong @ThieveryCorpDC A few weeks away

@DanielleFong @ThieveryCorpDC Totally. Collective mind control by stoking fear.

@olimould Marx vs Adam Smith -> Adam Smith for the win. Not even close.

@jonnajarian Yes, improvement is exponential

@Jennerator211 Yeah. Maybe following individual journalists & citizen journalists is better than publications. The Onion may be the best mainstream media source. Hard to figure out what’s actually going on in the world!

It’s remarkable how often The News attempts to answer the question: what is the worst thing that happened on Earth today?

@crystaloftruth @Newsweek Still am

@crystaloftruth @Newsweek More or less crazy than reality itself?

@lavvphotography @Newsweek It’s next-level for sure. Reality is getting weird fast.

@Oh_Gee_Man Famous last words

@Newsweek I said run for office, not president (sigh). Who even owns Newsweek these days? I lost track.

@Teslarati Boring Co will also connect Vegas hotels & airport. Autonomous Teslas in tunnels will provide individualized mass transit.

@flcnhvy We’re going to have to push out the date or attendance will be very low. Maybe do in two parts: webcast next month & in-person event a few months later?

@PPathole @stoolpresidente Hospitals are going bankrupt for lack of patients https://t.co/Wfew0owsGP

@AntonTonchev77 @SciGuySpace True (sigh)

@AdamDavidHalsey @devonwerkharder Seriously, Big Candy is suppressing R&D! When’s the last time you heard of a great new candy bar?

@franksdcaudill He was critical of large bureaucracies & Napoleon III was indeed a knucklehead

@ylecun @an_open_mind @jjvincent Fair point, PyTorch is great!

@devonwerkharder Capitalism already has many fetters in the form of a plethora of regulatory bodies! I’m definitely against any monopolies/oligopolies where there is a low forcing function for improving customer happiness or an unpriced externality that consumes a common good (eg emissions).

@Tallest0ne Probably sooner

@ReidarSundy @TheZenCorner @stoolpresidente This is happening a lot

@MMelinot That would be cool!

@vistacruiser7 @flcnhvy Very much agree!

@nichegamer 🤣🤣 Along with several guillotine death threats!

Boring Company completes 2nd Vegas tunnel

In his 18th Brumaire essay (in which he does make some good points), Marx famously said history repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce. This is now ironically happening with Marxism.

@CodingMark @ResistMonsters @TheZenCorner @stoolpresidente Exactly

@flcnhvy Tesla makes the safest cars in the world & our factory injury rate is better than industry avg & tracking to be better than any auto plant in North America. We care deeply about safety at a fundamental level.

@flcnhvy SpaceX has 8000 employees in California, Washington, Texas & Florida. Operating this entire time, as we have national security exemption. Zero deaths or serious illnesses.

@flcnhvy Absolutely. Tesla already went through this in China with 7000 employees. Zero fatalities or serious illnesses.

@TheZenCorner @stoolpresidente The statistics stopped being valid when anyone with “covid symptoms”, which is now almost anything, was counted as having covid

@stoolpresidente Well said! Please run for office. The politicians & unelected bureaucrats who stole our liberty should be tarred, feathered & thrown out of town!
