He did not say that in any super strong way about ALL parts of its design such as block size or presumably some other things that have changed since then.

Elon Musk eyeing massive payday after $1,5T lithium deposit discovered in US

https://www.unilad.com/news/us-news/us-lithium-deposit-1-billion-elon-musk-payday-943803-20250522

Elon Musk's Tesla could be set to be benefit massively after a lithium deposit suspected of being the world's largest has been discovered in the US.

The Tesla founder stands as the current richest man in the world, as per Forbes, with a net worth of a staggering $416 billion so, if anyone needs even more money, it's certainly not him.

Perhaps I am missing something. Does Elon own the deposit? Lithium mined in the US would be likely to be even more expensive than lithium from elsewhere and would take some time to develop the mine. Tesla has been hurt a great deal by his foray in politics and by the tariffs. So why would it be Elon's massive payday?

How you figure? It goes up from where you bought it. Sell maybe 10%. When it goes down again buy more with proceeds from what you sold. Rinse and repeat. You end up with a lot more sats.

Anyone that wants to mute it on their own relay can, right?

Web won before Goggle even began. Microsoft didn't even enter web browser space until it was obviously winning. We had OSes long before Windows. Chrome was a late comer to the browser party. Apple was first with smart phone. Apps server side have been independent for decades before this.

The government today is the result of generations indoctrinated with the bizarre notion that they need one.

Why is scripture, which was largely tuned by the Catholic Church, in a Bible full of contradictions, any standard at all? Punishing people for eternity for merely not encountering and affirming the right doctrine can hardly be a just and loving act. God created us imperfect according to the Bible. FWIW

This is not remotely part of FCC's charter.

FCC chair launches investigation into Disney over DEI

The Federal Communications Commission has notified The Walt Disney Company of an investigation into its diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts to ensure compliance with equal employment opportunity regulations.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr stated he is reviewing Disney's diversity, equity, and inclusion practices, mentioning concerns similar to those in ongoing investigations at Comcast and Verizon.

In response to the investigation, a Disney spokesperson said, 'We are reviewing the Federal Communications Commission's letter, and we look forward to engaging with the commission to answer its questions.'

The FCC's scrutiny comes after former President Donald Trump signed an executive order to end diversity, equity, and inclusion practices at U.S. Corporations.

This is a tyrant. He is clearly at least attempting a chilling effect on legal action against his administration's actions of questionable legality. That and practicing exactly the kind of retaliatory lawfare he railed against in the past.

Federal judge temporarily blocks Trump’s executive order targeting Jenner & Block

A federal judge temporarily blocked Donald Trump's executive order against the law firm Jenner & Block, stating it likely violates multiple amendments, including the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments.

Jenner & Block argued that Trump's order was unconstitutional and aimed at intimidating lawyers who oppose the administration.

The judge found that Trump's order likely violates the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments, noting the potential chilling effect on the legal profession's duties.

Legal expert Adam Klasfeld reported that the judge described Trump's executive order as 'disturbing' and 'troubling,' especially regarding its attack on pro bono practice.

Hopefully the SC declines or tells Trump to go to hell. Enemy aliens does not cover a country we are not at war with or snatching people up without even checking who they are and their circumstances before flying them to one of the worst prisons on the planet. This was not "deportation". Deportation is to your home country. If this could be done with due process then it can be done to anyone including US citizens.

Trump asks US Supreme Court to intervene in deportations fight

The Trump administration requested the Supreme Court to allow deportations of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador under an 18th-century law, amid ongoing legal disputes.

The Supreme Court appeal follows a rejection by a federal appeals court regarding the administration's plea.

A panel of appellate judges maintained an order blocking deportations of migrants based on the Alien Enemies Act.

The case assesses President Donald Trump's authority concerning mass deportations.

Interesting. Goes two ways. If the world is indifferent to me then I have freedom to just go my own way. If I am indifferent to the world then I am also free. Others?
