In that movie where that guy kisses his sister. 👉👈

That’s the sequel.

Yes. You’re being a dick.

Elephants aren’t religious (as far as I know) yet even they will gather to say goodbye to a family member. When the day comes, you’ll want to too.

If that’s true in the US, then god help you. I know they still exist in the UK.

The 2008 bailout happened because it was the banking sector that was exposed. If the consumer banks fail, everybody’s accounts go up in flames.

Part of getting that bailout was that the banks had to restructure to insulate commercial banking from investment banking. Supposedly the investment arm can now get taken out, and the damage to the commercial arm is limited. I’ll believe that when I see it. The big question at the moment is “how exposed are the banks?”.

Oracle, Nvidia, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic are all massively exposed. Nvidia and Microsoft might be big enough for a decimated version of themselves to come out the other side. Everyone else is going to the wall. No need to bail them out though. That’s a contained explosion.

If the bank are making loans of hundreds of billions thinking they’re sure fire money makers, but actually they’re piles of shit, then it’s 2008 again. That’s when we see if they really protected the commercial arms of their banks.

In this case it’s an advantage. If your enemy has a blind spot you exploit it.

A lot of people don’t realise SKG is a foothold in exactly that fight. If you establish precedent on something as “frivolous” as video games you can use it on much higher value thing too.

This is what the GPL was meant to fight against. Having boxes running software that is still under the control of the manufacturer.

Instead people complained that it was hard to use the code at work. YES. THAT’S THE POINT.

My point was that they fabricated a pretense to avoid needing one, just as you said. You’re making the same fucking point.

Did you stop reading at that point?

Not a lawful authority.

He was flight side at the airport. So either:

• …they’re not subject to US law, and it’s fair to search his possessions without a warrant. In which case he’s also not subject to US law so destruction of evidence is fair game.
• …everyone is subject to US law and it’s an illegal search.

It is how it works inside the united states. It’s just they claim that because he was on the flight side of the airport, he wasn’t inside the US.

Oh, because they are outside US borders they claim not to need a warrant, but that doesn’t stop them using US law to prosecute him though.

Those aren’t in old English though.

They’re obviously gifted engineers there, but…

They choose to work for him. I don’t like the idea of people getting stinking rich off that life choice.

If they fire him, it’s got a chance.

They’ve squandered their lead on not delivering stupid tech, whilst ignoring the cars. If they got a CEO that refocused on the cars I think there’s still something there.

Everything to do with him is turning to shit though.

Not SpaceX so far. Down to half it’s high point. It’s only been a public stock 6(?) weeks. Seems to be averaging a few dollars negative each day with no apparent floor.

Most of these “trapped” people stop searching for a job.

When you’re in a “need a job” situation, of course you take anything you can. If you end up at Oracle you don’t stop looking.

I think this layout is 100% about S&P downgrading Oracle’s credit rating to one step above junk. They’re on the hook for the WB acquisition and the data centre build out for OpenAI, both of which look hugely negative. Wisconsin (data centre location) just sent the a bill for $7B because they don’t trust oracle to pay the future costs to the state the development would incur.

With no credit rating, and not much liquid cash all they can do is cut costs. Hence layoff.
