Based on the decision-making practices of these CEOs who don't actually understand the technology they're in charge of... I wouldn't be shocked if the security review is functionally nonexistent. We did just see that so much of our online security was literally hidden behind the number 4 and has caused a massive security vulnerability in everything that caused everyone to scramble to patch it out.

    I'm not sure how much I trust the cited experiment from 1902 you seem to be referring to. And more recent research seems to imply that alcohol has some suppressive effects on the mitochondria, which would interfere with the Krebs cycle.

    Unfortunately just killing Hitler doesn't solve the reason why Hitler came into power and some other charismatic leader would come along and do pretty simolar stuff as him.

    We would need to kill the people responsible for the market crash and great depression and responsible for saddling Germany with the entirety of the war debts of WW1.

    I literally went to Bureau of Labor Statistics and pulled up the average income for americans. Fidelity and Sofi are also in the same ballpark, ablut $65,000/year.

    Actually looking it up further, you're not even right about the median income, that is also about $65,000 per year again from BLS, Fidelity and Sofi.

    But seriously the libertarian party in the US is a bunch of republicans who want to get rid of drivers licenses and remove the age of consent. They're an extremely unserious political organization with no real interest any kind of good governance. They are little more than children throwing temper tantrums when they have do do something slightly inconvenient that helps other people.

    We've already seen what libertarian governance looks like when a bunch of libertarians moved to Grafton New Hampshire, effectively dismantled the local government in accordance with "libertarian values" and were subsequently overrun with wild bears because nobody was cleaning up their trash and locking it up to keep bears out.

    Just one small point of contention, median and average are not the same, that might be the median, but the average is significantly lower than that. About $65,000, which is $32, which honestly tells a much more illustrative story.

    Still what Elon spent dwarfs both by multiple orders of magnitude.
