They now also own xAI

Which in turn owns Twitter. SpaceX is now a social media company in addition to a rocket company.

One theory I think Matt Levine posited, is that SpaceX will go public with dual-class stock that gives Elon control even with a minority ownership stake, and will subsequently buy Tesla, which doesn't have dual class stock, making SpaceX the singular "Elon Musk company", with him having operational control despite being public.


That theory aligns with Elon's long-held dream of X as the "Everything Company".

Then he'll rebrand SpaceX to " X" (a space followed by an X).

Agreed, we should also nationalise resource extraction and put the funds in there. Canadian resources should be for Canadians.

No.

Historically, this just ends up with Toronto and Montreal (and to a more limited extent, Vancouver) treating the rest of the country as a resource colony. The pretense that consent of the governed is equally geographically distributed is, naturally, very useful to you.

If you do that again, as you did in the '60s, Canada will only be Toronto and Montreal.


> this just ends up with Toronto and Montréal (and to a more limited extent, Vancouver)

So, where most Canadians live?


There’s a reconciliation dimension that complicates that framing, at least in BC.

This feels not unlike talos linux, but for single instances over k8s containers. Pretty neat.

Yes, it is a single Docker Engine instance. But Lightwhale fully supports Docker Swarm, so you can easily build a lightweight cluster as well.

You think you've got problems? What are you supposed to do if you are a manically depressed robot? No, don't try to answer that. I'm fifty thousand times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the answer. It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level.

> offshore jurisdictions and uses crypto.

This vastly increases the barrier to entry for the normal person though. Is your position that just because laws don't work 100% of the time we shouldn't bother with them?


I didn't say that, you said that.

They didn't say you said it.

But wow what a useless way of conversing that is. They asked because it's unclear what you're implying. So could you please clarify if you think regulation would be useful? Or should be done despite being futile? Or shouldn't be done? I can only think of those three answers, is there another?


I think smart policy would be a good start. I just made a comment on the sign of our times. I could have worded my one line reply better. I do think it will be difficult to regulate as I don't see a political appetite to do so. Maybe some countries will get it right.

For the record, I do agree with this perspective at least from an external observer of the US. Many places already regulate these types of gambling much better. What I mostly took issue with is what I read to be a resolute throwing up of the hands of any action being useless.

It is indeed unfortunate that the level of corruption in the current US administration likely precludes any action on it in the current term.


not since like 2015, they're soldered on to the mainboard

> or switch to another provider

Can you though? Its been a few years since I've been on apple, but being able to get anything but icloud native support in other apps was basically non-existent. Compared to android where it gives you a plethora of choice out of the box.


Yes - they're already on my computer, so any full-disk backup service will back them up by default. There's an option to purge them from disk and download from iCloud on demand, but you don't need to use it: https://support.apple.com/en-us/111762

ah fair, I was thinking on the iphone, but in fairness this is a thread about a laptop

Even on an iPhone you can back up your library to Google Photos or other services. You just can’t do so directly through Apple’s Photos app.

It's different on mobile (iOS/Android) where individual apps need special support for cloud providers. On a mac everything is just a file for most apps, so all the cloud providers work by default.

to be fair, your money isn't as good as VC money for RAM at the moment

Are Nvidia using ecc ram? If not this should mean it is less supply constrained than regular ram.

I'm open to being wrong, but so far as I understand it ECC mostly lives at the controller level and shares the same DRAM chips across all forms of server memory (including non-ecc), which is why we see price increases across all sectors including consumer.

Those DRAM chips being the bottleneck that would require hard to build new silicon fabs to increase supply.


14" macbook pro with those specs is ~2100. 200 dollar delta for repair-ability seems acceptable to me.

I'd pay $200 to run Linux. The repairability is a bonus.

It's $200 cheaper than that for that configuration with Linux instead, only $2100.

Oooh, no contest then. I'm definitely getting one to replace my previous Framework.

> A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State

Isn't really political. By my reading the clause also invalidates the entire amendement soon as the US aquired a standing army, but I'm not from the US so, who knows.


It seems odd to not quote the full amendment. It’s not like it’s long.

The phrasing in total is far more vague than what you’re presenting.
