Elon Musk is very likely a supporter of eugenics and since he's also a narcissist who thinks he's better than everyone else, it makes sense that he's obsessed with spreading his genes.

Just remember to conveniently ignore actually raising those kids, and those who happen to not fit his mold of what a person should be like (e.g. if they happen to be trans or see through a modicum of his bullshit)

C++ is unironically my favorite language, especially coding in python feels so ambiguous and you need to take care of so many special cases that just wouldn't even exist in C++.

I want to add that experimental reactors used for scientific research might never become net energy positive and that would be fine. Their purpose isn't to generate profit, it's to learn more about the physics, so it will be more valuable for them to be adaptable than efficient.

However, that doesn't mean that you can't take a configuration that has been shown to have potential and make a reactor that is more efficient than adaptable and use that to generate power for the electrical grid.

Basically, they have two different purposes.

Doesn't make it right. Michael Jackson's dad abused his kids and they became world famous artists, doesn't mean abusing your kids is acceptable or should be seen as such.

One thing I've learned is that conspiracy theorists always seem to end up at racism.

The article says that it was just an experiment and the artist's original post doesn't mention anything else.

From the Wikipedia page:

If untreated, symptoms may include loss of the ability to move one or both sides of the face, joint pains, severe headaches with neck stiffness or heart palpitations. Months to years later, repeated episodes of joint pain and swelling may occur. Occasionally, shooting pains or tingling in the arms and legs may develop. Despite appropriate treatment, about 10 to 20% of those affected develop joint pains, memory problems, and tiredness for at least six months.

The term "premium-feeling" does a lot of heavy lifting in that paragraph, one might almost say that it's a bit subjective.
