You definitely don't have to be smart to be on a board of directors, all you need is connections. To be successful on a board of directors is less about intelligence and much more about experience: being able to say, "I was in that situation before, and this is how we handled it."
"we know so little" Maybe you should do more studies then instead of writing panicked breathless articles. Find out what is happening before making uninformed decisions.
Being a board member isn't a hard job. There are other jobs that you would not want to take if you were smart, but being a board member you meet once a month or so, give advice, and get stock and benefits. Board members are there for their experienced guidance and connections, not because they work hard.
The problem with the CEOs big dreams is he can't pick one - Tesla, SpaceX, the Hyperloop, Solar City, the Boring company - what does Elon Musk want to do when he grows up? He can't decide.
I think he has so much investment money being thrown at him that he now has pressure to come up with new ideas to spend it all.
I guess that's true if there are a limited number of games on sale. I think usually discount sales on games are limited by time, not by quantity. Not always, though.
It's a datacenter probably for Azure, so they might actually be running Linux on a lot of those boxes (if not all of them, and running the Windows instances in VMs).
The web cams are pretty cool. I didn't realize there were so many fish in the ocean in that part of the world. I kind of considered the North sea and areas around it to be rather dead and devoid of life. Now I see I was wrong.
One of these puts tar into your lungs: vaping/smoking. Which do you think is better, having tar in your lungs, or not? Vaping is clearly better than smoking, look up the statistics.
They don't have the ability to send a missile to the middle of the Pacific. They promised to, but in the end the missile could only reach a little past southern Japan.
If you're motivated to quit, just switch right now to vapor. You'll start to see health increases immediately as you stop putting tar in your lungs. Later if you want you can try various strategies to kick it completely but at this point vapor is a clear positive.
Worth mentioning that there is another alternative scenario: bitcoin joins gold as the defacto inflation fear investment. If that happens, demand for bitcoin will increase quite a bit, just as gold prices stay far above what the metal is actually worth.
Yeah getting the buzzword "2000" wasn't enough. Now they decided to go with a buzzword *and* a technology that won't actually work to reach their goal (OK, proof of ownership is one thing, but block chain won't stop screenshots. It's not designed to do that)

"It's established fact that many species of coral are vulnerable to a 2c difference in temperature." Which species are you talking about?

Maybe coral isn't really vulnerable to a two degree difference in heat.

It sounds like these strategies would dramatically increase the cost of firefighting.

The plastic wrap was removed, but the box was unopened?
So the name of the Islands is actually Orkn?
I'm drowning, you insensitive clod!
And you replied. What does that say? Now you have to sit there wondering if you were trolled, or if you just wasted your time insulting someone.

Parsing that headline took time. Time flies like an arrow.
I think it's funnier how people think "The Saudis" are a single person.

using it is as stupid as smoking.
That is provably false.
Smoking will make your balls shrink.

At this point, just go for vapor. It's a low effort alternative that will dramatically improve your health.

Content producers mostly favor things that give them more money for the things they produce.
