So is my understanding correct that only institutional investors are allowed to benefit from making outrageous public claims about the health of companies regardless of the claims basis in reality?
Just as one example, given that Elon has blatantly lied about capabilities of Tesla to deliver promises. I think it’s adequately clear to everyone at this point that nobody cares.
Does simplicity in their design really detract from the feat of their accomplishments? There’s a tendency to gravitate towards expensive big budget missions. Is success measured by the biggest budget or the complexity of the problem? The deserving accomplishments here are the length of time and distance traveled while still returning useful scientific data that has never been done before and may not be done again for some time.
How is success tied to a budget or complexity? Success doesn't care how hard/easy it was. It just means it was able to do the thing it was made for. If the task was to be able to write in space, a pencil would be just as successful as a newly developed pen that writes in 0g.
Until graphite dust shorts the emergency hatch release switch. I do agree though that making a sensor and datalink that lasts half a century outside the magnetosphere and can even get updates over that time is extremely impressive and might not be replicable with today's mindset.
I feel like the reactions here are selective outrage. Real objects and sometimes living organisms are created and destroyed in the name of science every minute of every day.
An ad that was likely done in a single take, let’s be real, doesn’t matter at all in the big picture.
I was wondering the same thing, multiple well-known medium-sized banks fold. Am I wrong to say that it reminds me of 2008? Is there a bubble that’s about to burst?
The massive irony here is that the internet itself has become a much more dangerous place for kids than itself or going outside ever was. Particularly when it comes to mental health, parents don’t let their kids go out but the same parents put no parental controls or at the very least, screen time limits on their devices.
I'm happy to report that the internet is still safer than what "going outside" meant for me as a kid. Mostly we were blowing things up or seeing which roofs we could get on.
All that freedom was good for my head though, so I'll give you that one.
