If "civilized" consequences for irresponsible, harmful speech existed, then barbaric ones would be less likely. What recourse do people have whom witness irresponsible/evil actors corrupting and manipulating the ignorant and naive? We have laws against physical corruption, but precious few for intellectual.
At 30mi offshore, my napkin math suggests you'd need to be nearly 600ft in the air to see them, and that through the haze. A rational NIMBY argument would be a bit difficult to come by.
We had a hard enough time getting our customers to drop XP, and that was predicated upon the notion that security updates were no longer going to be forthcoming from Microsoft. We've got another 3 years to go before we'll be able to even consider such things--when MS ends Windows 7 extended support.
They've said that sort of thing about Elon's other accomplishments as well. If you say something can't be done and no one tries, of course it will never happen; audentes Fortuna iuvat
I figure either he's fracking with our heads or, he's got a stealth company/project, e.g. hyperloop, that he getting to take the wraps off of and he's teasing with hints. The guy is just enough "bananas" to never truly know.
That would only apply if teachers produced investment bankers. Teachers produce the foundation, the student the building.
If a person learns how to produce a widget with fewer resources, then that person has left over resources with which to produce other widgets. The more widgets, the more value produced by that person. If a burger flipper busts his butt to flip 20% more burgers than his peers he hasn't accomplished much. But, if he gets an education that affords him the ability to create a robot that replaces all his peers for a fraction of the cost he's truly produced something more valuable than his present station; he will realize the increase. It is perfectly logical.
Of course bootstrapping exists. Who said anything about an individual climbing the ladder all by themselves? I apply myself so that my children can start from a higher position. That is the noble goal of all good parents. My father was a timber faller, my mother a homemaker. I took the position they gave me on the ladder and ran with it. Today I am the chief engineer of a medical software company. Children can squander the opportunity given, absolutely. But their progeny will suffer a loss of station.
Axanar Productions is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. All staff are employees and Alec was paid an earth-shattering $38K last year for his 60 hour work weeks. Mean while he guaranteed a $250K 3-year lease for the building housing the production set. Other staff have tossed large sums of personal money into the coffers as well. While the numbers themselves are in a different league, the business model is resemblant of grandmas selling their knit doilies at a craft fair to pay for more knitting supplies.
You conveniently forgot the education bit. A stupid woodcutter can work himself into an early grave, a smart one will go sharpen his ax to produce the same with half the effort.
Possessing money is a symptom of a certain generation within a family possessing a strong work ethic and high-value for education. Kim for instance had Robert Kardashian.
He also might throw one at China or Iran. While my geek nature drives me to be a bit of a disaster voyeur, I have a wife and two children that cause me to harbor profound concern for the consequences of this petulant demagogue's presidency.

Testing out that fancy schmancy chemistry degree..? Alas those fancy schmancy Unicode characters you copy/pasted are a bit too highfalutin for /.
This is Trump's America now... Of the new battery technologies posted on /. only 1 in 1,000,000 actually make it; in my opinion.
People like you only make the problem worse.

Don't worry about the facts. This is an eat the rich, beat up on Musk thread.
Hmm, how much carbon has he offset with Tesla? Enjoy your Trump.
Why is that unfortunate? Gotta prove out the technology on smaller scales before you sink untold $$$ into proper scale projects.

Help me understand that one. What about Alec's efforts make it obvious he was trying to profit? Paying staff wages?

Perhaps not, but what if the trade-war with China doesn't go so well...?
If a trade war starts, we've already lost.
While I'm far from an Apple fan, I am happy to see that they took away his Android. Those tweets were always far more disturbing than his iPhone ones.
Funny I feel like the cylinder was just spun on the revolver.
Don't forget petulant, demagogue...
Having helped elect Trump, I hope you get everything you asked for, you certainly deserve everything you get.
He did it because of the bears.
He also might throw one at China or Iran. While my geek nature drives me to be a bit of a disaster voyeur, I have a wife and two children that cause me to harbor profound concern for the consequences of this petulant demagogue's presidency.
The work ethic and the value of education held by the parents is probably the largest determining factor.
