The fact that you're doubling down on your ignorance is quite problematic. Typescript is not an enterprise system that forms arcane JS. It's literally JS with a slight adjustment that allows you to say "also this is this type". You write JS the entire time and can "disable" the typescript at any location you need to not be typed.

There's no political or social will for mass community measures. It would take a 1000 percent uptick in deadliness before we could even begin discussing sweeping shutdowns and masking. Like it or not, reality is that we can only do what we can on a personal level.

There's no way it's just 3GB of data points.

Less than you think. These people do not hold punches with family. They might even be harsher on their own family since they "should know better" and "weren't raised like that".

On the LGBTQ front, families have done more damage to them than any random individuals ever did.

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.

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.

While there are a lot of English speakers in India, it is not their native language. News about India will be written for Indians and will tend to use their regional language. Same goes for China and most other countries. Even in the EU where news might be interesting to other EU nations, news is often written in the affected nations language.

It's just smart business to make your content tailored to the target audience.

I've looked it up before in a similar thread.
