I think the split is between those who recognize it as true, and those who recognize it as true, but are mad you called it out. Because "politics on hn" or "dear leader during war time".
Also, he's 79, and turning 80 this year. I'd be good with a limit of 75, which would mean no one in office at 80+.
No. People turned to Trump because the other side is equally ludicrous, refusing to address things as simple as urban crime and propagating meaningless feel-good solutions.
While I agree with you about the pattern of meaningless feel-good solutions, let us be clear that urban crime is a municipality, or possibly state-level problem. People turned to Grump because they wanted simple answers to complex problems (validating their own egos), and they doubled down (refusing listen to their fellow citizens) out of pure mass-media-induced spite.
I didn't know how old this actually is. I was surprised to learn Marcus Aurelius wrote his Meditations as a private journal... never meant to be published.
Fyi, it took me a while to find the meaning of the "-it" in some models. That's how Google designates "instruction tuned". Come on Google. Definite your acronyms.
> ...probably some people would be very inconvenienced by this. But not as inconvenienced as having the coins stolen or declared forever inaccessible.
I don't know why anyone f's around with crypto anymore. So many caveats, such a scammy ecosystem. It just doesn't seem worth the trouble to support a ransomware and money laundering tool.
The entire prelaunch is scripted. Safety is the point of prelaunch checklists and polls. Why would you get bent out of shape over each of them being able to give their own response to the final call before launch?
I didn’t realize an eye roll and considering that they’re LARPing themselves for theatrical effect… was “getting bent out of shape”.
Perhaps I enjoy competence over narrative nonsense? Maybe pessimism has been highly undersold this generation and too many people are willing to buy into any basic narrative of emotion nudging they’re shown?
They had one part - literally one line - of a scripted and serious safety checklist where they could express themselves. Some chose to be kinda muted, some chose to be kinda over the top. Maybe get over yourself?
Around when they resume the count down at 10 min, the blonde woman with the super curved monitor breaks into her best Apollo Themed inspirational speech… shit, if she went on any longer she was about to say how this was one small step for man…
Again… IT IS COOL… but remind WHY on all the theatrics if you would. We put more than a dozen men on the moon, right? Why is fly once around it 60 years later that big of a deal?
It’s OK to say “They were trying to be fun and inspiring but yes it came off a little cheesy because they’re nerds.”
I mean are they really larping? They are mission control for NASA seems like if anyone is going to giving dramatic pre-launch sentiments they would be the ones
Not a good metric imo. The majority of people have no interest in, and have no idea what's happening at SpaceX or in the space industry in general. Any predictions they have are based on vibes, not evidence.
I wouldn't follow the majority for advice. They're not aware of what's happening. Take Starlink V3 direct-to-cell as an example, I believe less than 5% of the general public even knows what this is (even after a massive marketing campaign), and even fewer understand how it works.
Issue is, Musk is making pretty much every one invest by forcing indexes to bend the rules and include SpaceX into their ranks thus forcing index funds to buy at the early public valuation of SpaceX.
might be, i wouldnt be sure but i would encourage author to dive a lil deeper based on some comments in the thread. Theres obviously lots to explore. Anything that goes into this topic is likely to make omissions, have some ,wrong viewing angle' or such things.
What are the chances you were seeing the anti-civ bots and now reddit makes them easier to hide? (And I'm not saying regular people acting like bots, but an anti-civ campaign.)
