Not a billionaire specifically because he gave a lot of his Apple shares to hourly workers after the IPO because (future billionaire) Steve Jobs decided their contributions didn’t merit shares.

Because Woz is an actual good dude who likes technology but doesn’t hate people.

And a few years later we’d see advanced boob jiggle physics in DOA Beach Volleyball.

Expensive watches are for men who can’t admit they want to wear a bracelet.

I disagree, anyone with sense knew everything Elon claimed about this thing was a lie.

Whoa whoa whoa. The suitors only show up after the rest of the Greeks get back from sacking Troy, so at most they’re there for 8-9 years.

That capex number in the article is a big part of it. $200 billion spent to generate $1-2 billion a month in revenue is wasteful, and people at the top are feeling the pressure to justify that expense.

That’s Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn and a major investor in at least one “AI” company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reid_Hoffman?wprov=sfti1

What fruit? What kind of coffee? Pretty sure there’s a substantial difference between a couple grapes and a caramel latte vs an apple and a black coffee.

“No, the name ‘Milka’ doesn’t refer to milk, why do you ask?”

Wait. Where are you that a bus pass changes price based on fuel?

The House of Pod did an episode about this, the host is a doctor and one of his guests for this episode is a surgeon and educator. Some good perspective on how this could happen and exactly how giant of a fuck up it was: https://shows.acast.com/the-house-of-pod-a-medical-podcast/episodes/bonus-sode-revisiting-the-mistakenly-removed-liver
