Yep, much like Covid. Thing went from “this could be bad and we need to consider how people can work from home” to "oh fuck! " in 3 months.
Do your planning now. Any software or service you are using today, might not be available to you 4 months from now.
Most of the hobbyists I speak to that have failed linux desktop experiences mostly switch back to windows due to:
Personally for me the list is:
That’s because you are sending your Fucks to the wrong key. You are missing the /feedback folder under system
Yes, I recall at the time experts saying it was a terrible mistake and Elon saying Machine learning will bridge the gap.
The real reason was to increase margins.
Reverse the brain drain of the 1930s.
I agree with you that he is being a racist asshole about it. He is emphasizing the race part of the legislation over the bribe part of it, because that is more politically useful to him.
It does not make the legislation less problematic. The ANC is begging the world to invest in the country, but not because that is what the country needs, but because it feeds the state mandated corruption.
Both parties are in the wrong here.
Only net neutrality and a ban on exclusivity agreements are required. Otherwise you get the US internet hellscape of local monopolies.
Just a bit of South African context. In South Africa, in order to get a telcoms licence, you have to comply with BB-BEE (Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment) requirements. Basically, you have to sell 30% (soon to be 51%) of your company to a local black owner. This is in addition to DEI requirements for employment.
For most businesses, these requirements are not mandatory to exist or operate, but gives you a bidding advantage for government contracts. For example, Microsoft, amazon and Temu can operate here, because they dont need any special licences. But for some sectors, companies need to aquire a license.
It can be argued that such legislation was necessary to incentivise business to diversify their employment and ownership to those previously excluded.
BUT, the way it is implemented, there is a huge emphasis on black ownership for various sectors. What will basically happen is a business needs to acquire a license from a government department. These licenses would only be granted if you give ownership of your company to the “appropriate” investor. Invariably someone connected to the government. They determine the price and basically get gifted portions of companies.
So what has basically happened is that this legislation only effective portion these days, is to enrich the politically connected.
So basically Elon is not wanting to pay the bribes necessary to get the required license to operate.
I Hate the buffoon, but on this he is correct.
Actually because of the density you wont be able to sink more than about 1/6th of your body into it.
Market shows that the market buys into hype, not value.
FYI, the IDF regularly uses bulldozers to clear bodies for fear of suicide vests.
Not clear why they would shoot them. Don’t see a clear threat. Possibly an assassination or just being indiscriminate.
