You're not paying taxes in hopes that Elon will paralyze the IRS?

Direct file and DOGE issues, fear of deportation, belief that the IRS will be dismantled... it's amazing how many different ways the current administration has damaged its revenue streams.

He actual specifically says this in his article.

Wouldn't they be on the server?

Eh, just invest in the volatility.

I mean we correctly estimated that the breakup of the USSR was a big deal without hindsight.

People who didn't panic during the covid crash made money not because they understood the situation but rather because the money supply went into the stratosphere.

How do his rates of return compare to these politicians?

Taking "time in the market beats timing the market" a bit to the extreme, I think.

Well the holdings also create a conflict of interest in how they choose to vote.

The page lists trades from two days ago but doesn't explain how they get their information. Do some congressmen report immediately?

Why are the only trades worth following the Pelosi ones?

I mean over the course of his career.

Are you sure you're not reading quotes that are provided with attritbution and mistaking them for an assertion of fact?

Fairly certain the logic is applied to the other side, just not in this article due to the lack of relevance.

We are probably in the weeds here but there is a difference between notification safety mechanisms and ones that take action. And to get really pedantic, emergency breaking doesn't permit user override (either functionally or simply because of how abrupt it is).

And autonomy features are a different domain altogether.

... for this purpose?

Work from home? My pearls!

It is comparable but not similar. Clinton had a private server for handling diplomatic emails. The vast majority of traffic was unclassified, the classified material was later deemed to be improperly marked (except three documents iirc).

This case is a single incident (that we are aware of) where a clearance holder manually bypassed security and tracking by transcribing attack plans to a commercial chat platform.

If only there were information systems that supported the discussion of classified information without the risk of including a random contact.

Let's not condemn the top tiers of the US government based on the top tiers of the current administration.

He was one of many initials present at the beginning of the chat, no?

Didn't early Teslas have lidar? They didn't look like AWACS.

This unfortunately undercuts the "ahead, alone, alive" maxim.

Been riding for two decades and my understanding has been that 'splitting' is the yank term and 'filtering' is the britbong one.

If half of the population had a lidar eye would your opinion change?

To add, even if the fatality numbers are small, accelerating into a person is a pretty outrageous failure mode.

I understand you're offering this as a gotcha but I'm not sure what you're referring to and it's unclear from context.

In any event, both of those things are typically undemocratic which is why they are rare in functioning democracies and common in autocracies. No system is invulnerable to attack so in certain circumstances they aren't undemocratic. Excluding candidates for, say, a criminal record, mental incapacity, or foreign obligations is less democratic but no reasonable person would claim it voids the will of the people.

I didn't realize I was only engaging using partisan tropes. Thank you for educating me.

So once you get past 8th grade civics you realize that a republic falls under the umbrella term 'democracy'.

You could always get a hay-powered one.
