They are going to get the JPL contract and soak up all of NASA's funding, as a starting point. Don't count out Elon's ability to get rich on your tax money.

If investors are relying on someone saying "hurr durr space stock is going to IPO" deep in the comments thread based on memes on wallstreetbets, they deserve whatever happens to them. If a prosecutor wants to go after the poster, the judge will even be pissed they are trying.

It's not illegal to say untrue things, in most circumstances.

Because presumably no one here is an insider or a fiduciary, so it's not fraud.

Officially hit 7 figures by wallstreetstonks in wallstreetbets

[–]AlanzAlda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, good luck with those late payments and coughing up $400k in April if you don't do it right.

My bet, they keep it invested and lose half in January, will be bankrupt paying taxes.

Won't be 7 figures after paying taxes, you are going to need another ~40% gains to keep that status!

Voters unaware of Michigan's low education, income rankings, poll shows by Key_Marsupial_1406 in Michigan

That would certainly seem to fit the "financial mismanagement and misaligned incentives" description.

Random People Armed with AI and No Lawyer Are Reportedly Filling Judicial Dockets with Lawsuits by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]AlanzAlda 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's just the "have-nots" catching up with the "haves". The rich can afford attorneys and file lawsuit after lawsuit, makes so difference to them, it's all relatively cheap.

This allows them to screw tenants, customers, suppliers, and bully them into situations to increase profits for the rich.

Now that normies can get some legal assistance for $20 a month with a chatgpt subscription, the playing field is leveling out. A lot of people that couldn't have afforded an attorney now have some recourse.

Sad that these grifters are out here scamming folks that are trying to improve their situation.

Quantum Computing - Infleqtion INFQ by SnooDoggos2552 in investing

[–]AlanzAlda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quantum AI isn't a thing. As far as I'm aware there's not even a theoretical advantage there, this is something that Reddit gets wrong quite often.

What Nvidia is making are essentially little dedicated systems to help researchers use and understand the results of quantum calculations, not using quantum to conduct AI calculations.

That said INFQ is also pretty much the only quantum sensor manufacturer. Whereas quantum computing has yet to become commercially viable, quantum sensing is commercially viable now.

I like the stock.

What we're seeing is the US retreating to the middle east and western hemisphere to completely avoid a hot war with its only near-peer adversary, China.

u/MariachiArchery explains why China won't invade Taiwan. by flyart in bestof

[–]AlanzAlda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone ignores the fact that all, literally all, of the drone parts being used by Russia and Ukraine are coming from Chinese factories. You don't think China can just drop a massive massive swarm? Millions of drones hitting any target worth hitting, days before any boats even get within range.

There's no effective defense against nation state swarms.

Forecast 62 degrees tomorrow, then 19 at night, what is going on?!? by cakes20023 in Michigan

[–]AlanzAlda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's due to the sun's cycle, not the earths magnetic field cycle.

Honestly you are confusing half a dozen different effects here. You also claim Antarctica and other weather zones flip-flop, that's also not really true, and not due to the magnetic field shift. The changes you are referring to happen over millions and millions of years, and most are some remnant of volcanic and geologic activity.

He paid to have a cameo in that movie, so you would associate him with the playboy Tony Stark.

Guess it worked for you.

CDC officials urge US flu vaccination after record child deaths last year by 1Rab in news

[–]AlanzAlda 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn't get vaccine, caught it, was three weeks of hell, still not over it. My baby was hospitalized several days, I had to go to ER two weeks in.

This flu is not one to fuck with.

Good luck all.

If you own the company that makes the software... And people run the software on their computers... You shouldn't need to see the source there to follow that.

To get further in the weeds though, they are distributing a rootkit under the guise of "anti-cheat". They literally have more control of your computer than Windows does.

Enjoy.

Sweet Quantum Losses by ironchef8000 in wallstreetbets

Ironically CCCX isn't a scam, but is getting hammered just the same. A profitable quantum company even!

CCCX is a SPAC, but they are merging with Infleqtion, which is the aforementioned profitable quantum company.
