Linus is surrounded by people who can call him on his bullshit. Luke is very aware of the shit Linus steps in and lets him know. Linus just kinda sucks at publicly admitting it, at least not without getting his own jab in. Hence taking over the "Trust Me Bro" joke.

Linus takes all criticism on LMG as a personal attack regardless of his involvement. Hopefully, once Tarren steps in, he'll be able to wrangle Linus and just let LMG handle the public relations side.

It's because Linus still has startup brain. He was squeezing blood from the stone for the first few years and his success then makes him believe that he needs to maintain that same mentality now.

Fortunately, he's also realized that he doesn't like running a large company and he's hired a CEO. Unfortunately, said CEO is still stuck in his previous role and won't actually be starting full-time for another few months. So now the company gets to sit in an awkward limbo of Linus checking out but Tarren not being ready to take over.

Once he is able to be a real CEO of LMG, I'm willing to bet things will start to dramatically change. Tarren has been running businesses as businesses for a while now and thus should know how to shape the company. He'll be able to adjust the goals and fix the spends to align with those goals. Since the company is privately owned, as long as Linus doesn't step on the process, it should go pretty well.

Yep. They billed themselves and chill and employee focused. Hence the "relaxed" dress codes and atmosphere. Turns out, they're just another corporate pig hiding behind some cheap makeup.

Shit title, Florida didn't reverse anything.

His only successes with SpaceX and Tesla are buying startups and then pumping them full of cash whilst adding aggressive goals. It's really the various teams that were successful, not Musk. If you want to credit his success, that would be betting the farm on some decently cutting edge startups and then proceeding to win those bets investment-wise.

I would argue it's more a problem of lax corporate safety. That's a ton of weight and those shelves should have been overbuilt as hell. They should have also been regularly checked for sagging and wear.

If you're good with mega corps like Zoom, then I'd say Google Meet has been perfectly fine for us as a company. There's also Microsoft Teams.

If you're looking for something to use on a personal level and not corporate, then you've got pick of the litter.

This is not about weapons. That's a ludicrous viewpoint. We've been able to create fusion weapons for decades now by starting them with fission. There's no way to build a pocket fusion device so it would only ever be a giant nuke, which we can already build.

No, this is really real research. Oil and coal barons know the end is coming for oil and coal, that's why they're the primary card holders in renewables too. They don't actually need to burn fossil fuels, it's just more profitable to do so right now. Once it's not, they'll just turn to the next most profitable thing they've got their fingers in.

Dude. Yes they have some small diuretic effects but tea and coffee are overwhelmingly hydrating. It's just not a good idea to mainline that much caffeine for heart reasons.

You're assuming they can repurpose structural concrete with this stuff. It's highly unlikely that this capacitor material could be structural. If it's not a strength concern then it'll certainly be an efficiency one. I doubt you want metal things and people walking on your capacitor.

Threads explained what it used your data for really well, people still installed it.

Ugh safety. Why can't people just die for the entertainment of the wealthy?
