Don't insult melted ice cream

Say you make a new invention. Are you going to give it a name, or are you going to use a description each time?

What about if you have kids. Are you going to name your kid a long winded description of their lineage, or something short?

It's descriptive. Do you want to use paragraphs to name a group of similar people, or a word? " The people born between x and y exhibiting these behaviors and traits, or have been imprinted by these traits, though it is not as strict rule," or "generation x."

And yes, we are also allowed to critique people based off of these things. It's how life works. It's how we grow and change.

I'm likely older than you and there's always been generational name calling and judging.

Is pip the real bottle neck in software development? How many dependencies are you managing that require this speed?

If supporting the art, supports the artist, who actively supports a bad cause, I do not. JKR and anything that furthers the anti-trans movement can go screw. If someone co-opts something, then it's trickier, but I expect the original artist to help when they can and support them directly, like Marvel's Punisher.

Jeff bezos owns 9.5%, then to institutions under vanguard each owned 6%. He's probably still influential-based on his prior position as CEO, but he can't force a decision that the rest of the board wants.

He doesn't run Amazon anymore.

I don't know y'all, and when people interact, there's no true community here. I'll probably not remember most of your names, similar to reddit, digg, slashdot, etc etc...

The problem is risk. A lot of the bureaucracy that exists for any company is risk mitigation. The wiping of servers, or using suction cups, or any of that is a security against a large dollar amount to spend if something goes wrong. But that's just the cost of security, it's worthless if it isn't tested. If a locked door isn't rattled or deter someone, it might as well have been unlocked.

He took a gamble and the doors were not rattled and everything worked. The thing to criticize here is really the carelessness. What if one of those servers got out and somebody stole all of that data? What if while under those floorboards he got damaged, or something related did? And it's not just these two questions, there's stuff in that article that probably wasn't covered that we can question.

There may be things that are not in the book that we can question, and that is the problem with Elon. He needs a string of bad luck to show how truly dangerous he is.
