I've always enjoyed this video to give a perspective on size

I usually increase playback speed, it's a bit slow at start.

Id be pretty surprised if McDonalds doesn't knowingly use prison slave labor somewhere in their supply chain already.

The difference between now and then though, is they were a private company.

Unless they disclose they use bots to post content and make the site look active, any use of user count and engagement for any aspect of the company becomes fraud as its misleading investors.

Oh we have 1 million posts an hour! Fraud.

Oh we have 100 million monthly active users! Fraud!

Investors Q/A - do you use bots? Answer No. Fraud.

So are they going to delete all the votes prior to fix and require a revote in case people were duped about their options? Or are they okay with people voting without all the proper information and options?

Starlink and low-orbit sats for internet coverage are a similar leap ahead in cost and speed to deploy. Elon and his goons saw it coming long before anyone else did, and the fact they also have Space X was a pretty key part of their speed to deploy.

Starlink was SpaceXs solution to having a reusable first stage rocket and not enough demand for all the flights they could now do.

They basically poured billions into perfecting reuse, and had to find a way to make money on the new but upfront costly capabilities so they came up with starlink.

Edit: it also gave them a safer way to more easily test flight proven rockets with what was at the time more weary customers of the tech. For awhile NASA still wanted new rockets, but then became fine with flight proven as all the extra flights showed it was okay.

I feel like it's not a prediction when it's a known guaranteed fact.

I predict 1 + 1 = 2!

We have decades of science and knowledge already proving this.

Me as a programmer

  • Exhausted working on something realizing I'm no longer being productive and stuck on a problem.
  • Decide to take a break and go empty the dishwasher
  • Comes back more refreshed and almost immediately solve the problem.

Edit: Side note - companies I worked at that had dishwashers also expected employees to take turns emptying it / loading dishes others didn't put in it.
