No, you have doomed Gaza. I don’t mean “you” as a group. I mean you personally.

Given that Biden was too much of a coward to enforce any restrictions, nothing will really change.
Having the numbers isn’t enough, there needs to be organization. A group of 8% of the electorate that votes in lockstep could affect policy pretty fundamentally, more than any amount of money could.
Aren’t organization and group synonymous?
And of course, this is assuming that Trump isn’t going to establish himself as a dictator. Of course, the thing is Trump is too old to be dictator. And the people around him don’t seem to be the most competent, either. So I sort of don’t know what’s going to happen. In any case, I’m glad that I don’t live in the US, thought authoritarianism is advancing globally.
What is needed is a socialist organization of voters who together have enough voting power to make our break a Democratic representatives career.
Yeah, if Trump pulls the stuff he said he’d pull (Tariffs and mass deportations), then the supply of goods inside the country will fall drastically, resulting in stronger inflation. Which will then result in consumption of anything nonessential to collapse. This will lead to increasing unemployment.
Kamala Harris did everything right
She presented her message of ‘vote for me to keep things the same’ flawlessly. Unfortunately, people who live paycheck to paycheck don’t want things to stay the same.
I personally wouldn’t trust Trump to return a favor. Elon outlived his usefulness to Trump the moment the election was over.
I think that even if Trump were to win, Musk would loose. Trump seems to loathe Musk, having publicly humiliated Musk before, and then snubbing Twitter after Musk unbanned him, at least for a while. Secondly, Trump has a habit of not paying bills, which probably translates into not returning favors. Trump’s alliance with Musk will end once Musk is no longer useful, which will be once the election is over.
In fact, Trump winning might be worse for Musk than Harris winning, because the Democrats probably won’t retaliate against him for helping Trump. But Trump, well, for one thing, somebody like Trump might see it as a humiliation that he had to work with Musk. And secondly, electric cars don’t fit into the Republican worldview Trump champions.
Looking at a larger scope, capital tends to screw themselves over by aligning themselves with authoritarians. It’s easier to hold on to power than it is to seize power, and if all you bring to the table is money, then you won’t be needed once power is seized. Because money is something humans made up to facilitate the exchange of resources and labor.
OOP has clearly never played “Stellaris”.
I figure with Lemmy having much fewer users, there’s less potential for toxic communities to form.
So, in the post you’re replying to, it’s laid out how insurance wouldn’t work, and your reply is “Have you considered insurance?”
Assuming a linear relationship between price and demand, then if you increase the cost of product, the price where the most profit is generated moves by half of this amount.
I suppose that’s true. But it just bothers me when people talk about the market cap like it’s an amount of money that exists somewhere, instead of being an abstract valuation.
Looking at a different example, Ford’s market cap is $42.61e9, and its revenue is $47.81e9, while the profit is $1.83e9, 20 times of which is $36.6e9. If we average both of them we get $42.205e9. So Ford seems to have about the right valuation.
Market Cap of a company is sort of a meaningless number. As in, it’s shares in existence times price per share, which is just another way of saying its the share price. If somebody were to sell $100 Billion worth of Tesla shares, the market price would plummet and he’d not get the $100 Billion the shares were originally worth.
Of course, a rule of thumb is that a company is worth 20 times it’s annual profit, or its revenue. So, by that valuation, Tesla is worth 28 Billion dollars, or 25.5 Billion dollars if we go by revenue. (I’m surprised that both approaches lead to results so close to each other) Compare with a market cap of 682,47 billion, we can see that Tesla is ridiculously overvalued. So, I guess you should go and buy puts on Tesla. Or sell your shares if you have any.
Current neural networks do really fancy statistics. To make the model better, you need to make the statistics more precise. Leading to marginal improvements of accuracy requiring exponentially growing marginal amounts of training data. This leads to exponentially decaying marginal utility coupled with exponentially growing marginal expense. Which quickly becomes unsustainable. Edit: On the plus side, this likely means you won’t have to give up much utility when the market adjusts.
I’d say it could go either way. You could publish a positive piece on a company and then buy stock in them. They can make a profit whether their research turns out positive or negative. This would however give them an incentive to sensationalize their results, to exaggerate their findings, be they positive or negative.
The idea behind wisdom of the crowd is that the people who don’t know the answer cancel each other out. It’s the reason why the audience joker on who wants to be a millionaire is so powerful.
