People with an agenda may not be honest in what they say in their indignation, either consciously or unconsciously.

Well .. not really. Not at all. How could you even think it matters?

Musk could simply setup muskannouncements.com and blog his own tweets. No one may search for your announcements, but you better believe for his site he will still get full coverage.

ergo he's not doing it for his own announcements. it will be for a mix of media influence, and to address the bias in twitters 'fact checking'

Interested in a source for this?

It depends on the situation, but by keeping a simpler architecture there's not necessarily any overhead. AWS has huge complexity which is a tradeoff against the complexity of simpler solutions, regardless of the $billing cost.

I recommend using descriptive names rather than marketing ones. Proper naming helps you understand and think about things accurately to remove psychological bias/koolaid.

Another term which is more descriptive for cloud native is vendor cloud lock-in, which could be reasonably but descriptively shortened to cloud-locked or cloud-married maybe.

Native sounds cool but completely loses sight of the cost of lock-in, while locked or married talks to both the benefits and the costs.

Love to hear more about this?

I take it you are tacitly agreeing with the actual maths and figures.

Mozillas real competitive threat to google - 0.

Mozillas effectiveness at diverting/absorbing/stopping other community initiatives that could actually impact google - worth the dollars from google's point of view.

This has been done to death in other threads.. mozilla's raison d'etre today is as a lighting rod to prevent real competition to google. Follow the money, and why the mozilla ceo gets big bucks for performance that's against mozilla's public goals - they are instead meeting mozilla's private goals.

Your raising a discussion about mozilla in a brave thread plays right into mozilla's purpose of muddying the waters for actual competition against google. Please don't derail brave discussions with off topic stuff.

Follow the money, there's serious money pitted against Brave.

Grassroots users should support it like the godsend it is.

off by an order of magnitude. 20 million by $99 is 2 billion, which is >4% of the net income.

Is it really difficult to audit, or practically impossible?

Can you provide sources or any meaningful numbers beyond handway 'most' regarding which of his shares are used as collateral?

His NW went from 20B to 270B in last 2 years.

If your house went from 200k to 2.7M, the bank will somehow find it in their heart to lend you a lot more dollas than before ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Doing the actual maths 40B is chump change and he could probably borrow couple hundred B or more if the things he's buying also have market value banks will lend on.

Unless he's somehow borrowed hundreds of Bills in the last 2 years? Any sources for that, I looked because of what you said but didn't see any actual info on loans beyond .5B in 2020 which is a fifth of a percent of his NW. Literally < 1% of his NW ??

Your assertion that he doesn't have 40 billion to spare seems unfounded.

Let's look at some actual maths.

His net worth has soared in the last 2 years. Forbes (1) has a historical chart with his 2020 NW at 20 Billion, and current at 269 Billion. Is there any indication that his borrowings against his shares has increased in ratio with their appreciation. I can't find info on that but the forbes articles notes the borrowings were subtracted from that NW.

As to what his borrowings were, there's a few articles I found that he had .5 Billion of personal loans in 2020. Since then he sold a lot/all of his houses. His NW also increase by 500 times that amount. Just can't credit your assertion that he couldn't borrow $40 Billion at the drop of a hat with some of his increased 250B share value as collateral.

The principles in the PR are just a smokescreen.

Linkedin is being completely self serving. Taking whatever they can get, and feeding bullshit, sorry PR, to confuse the issue.

The saying goes 'Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me.'

Nah, private messages have been reposted on social media as clickbait to incite the lynch mobs called cancel culture.

He can get a loan for that much against his other holdings of $260B last I heard, pretty easily I imagine. Or he could sell some.

This is quite realistic, yet the marriage laws haven't caught up.

That's so subjective. My photography is interesting to me, and draws admiration and interest from almost everyone I share it with, even though they themselves have phones with cameras.

The fact that including a package in your webpage/app, which includes a tree of hundreds of others, one of which can 'dynamically' overwrite/redefine other pieces of the namespace with impunity, is why it's broken in the first place.

ergo it is insecure by design for all uses, and unsuitable for anything important relying on code you wrote doing what you expect.

It's fair to say it's broken in a world where what we do in webpages MATTERS. It was fine in the past where nothing truly important happened in web pages, but that ship has sailed.

This is such a misconception. Air is similarly valueless ..

Real estate produces something very valuable, and if you can't understand that try living homeless for a few months .. its the only way without a house you will get to be near amenities ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In financial terms it produces rent or saving of paying rent.

Yeah its disgusting the lack of understanding of the power features of windows that the new developers obviously lack deep understanding of, how many many workflows they've been breaking with 11.

Hahaha the assumption here being that only Linux users are power users ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Remember what assumptions get you!

I think what he is saying is that Javascript is a broken language. Fundamentally un-securable when third party code is used.

This is fascinating, which foods had which effects, for you?

Which probiotic helped you?

To be fair, mostly the homeowners of that generation scrimped and scrimped and saved for their productive decades to get their home.

Without holidays, iphones, food delivery, cafe coffees, gap year, 'finding myself', international travel etc.

That generation (of which I'm not part, but have taken the time to hear the stories of) lived week to week scraping by on bare subsistence living so they could pay the mortgage, with interest rates of 7-18%.

So they strove and sacrificed for the defining decades of their life for that equity, and of course they want to keep what they worked and sacrificed so hard for.

The comments pushing for urban densification and public transport are largely theoretical and abstract, while your comment is personal and subjective.

To all those thinking about is as 'policy' - you have to solve ways for making the subjective experience actually better if people are going to go for it.
