I bet it will be a stock deal.

I just thought pansexuals didn’t exclude furries.

Nothing wrong with a good helping of faggots.

She’s still got hips and shoulders too I hope.

I totally understand that a million, billion or trillion of anything is hard to grasp when your reference is one or two. 1 to 1,000 is about all we can handle, so you have to mentally rebase each step up.

• $1 to $1,000 ($1k)
• $1k to $1,000k ($1M)
• $1M to $1,000M ($1B)
• $1B to $1,000B ($1T)

At each stage the thousand dwarves the one by the same degree. So if you can fathom the first one you can fathom the last one. You may not get their absolute size, but relative sizes should be appreciable.

The fact that most of us struggle to get to $1M of assets over a lifetime, and he’s at a million times more. 🤮. It’s vertigo inducing.

Mostly?!?!

No. You have the causality backwards. It’s impossible to be a trillionaire without being at least a sociopath.

The difference between a dollar and a thousand dollars is about a thousand dollars. Same ratio. Does it screw with your mind then?

I refuse to believe it would need that much ad-infinitum. The first bunch creates a load of infrastructure, and that becomes self sustaining over the next few years.

That’s grok, which is xAI, which is now SpaceX and now a public company.

People’s pension funds are investing in a CSAM generator.

just to have an extra 100km of range.

Fake range. They just put a larger number on their screen.

Kinda stands to reason. It’s the trillion dollar companies that are his assets.

Yep. Keep going and you’ll be forced up the tube in a fashion not unlike toothpaste.

They were ousted because the contract was awarded without going through a proper process. The contract was therefore signed by someone without authority. That means it was not a valid contract between Palantir and the Met.

They could conceivably sue the person who signed the contract, but they wouldn’t do that as that’s their “guy on the inside”.

Here’s hoping it becomes a case cited in the whole EU.

If he actually drove a review of H1B visas with a view of preferring domestic workers, I expect he’d get support. He just bulldozered into it though, screw the law. Same as everything else.

Mid-90s. Internet basically began whilst I was at Uni. When I started all the computers were networked but for text based services (Gopher, Newsgroups, email). When I left web pages were a thing.

Wikipedia didn’t start until 2001.

Labour focus on an economy that is for business. They think that austerity leads to growth (somehow). They basically sell themselves as neo liberals with a heart, but that heart isn’t in control of much.

Greens as like the Labour of old. They focus on an economy that serves the population. They want to redistribute wealth away from corporations and banking, towards the rest of us, and services for the rest of us.

I wasn’t.

I was saying it didn’t exist.

Wikipedia?! Oh, you sweet summer child.
