Let me tell you something about Akash. During a project at Berkeley, I accidentally deleted our entire codebase 2 days before the deadline. I panicked. Akash just stared at the screen, shrugged, and rewrote everything from scratch in one night—better than before. We submitted early and got first in the class.
Many such stories. I trust him with everything I own.
@dwdavison@EoinHiggins_ what about his life would lead him to believe otherwise? he just says shit and somehow it made him a millionaire with the ears of the most powerful people in the world and prestige media begging him to join. they probably would make him a general.
@MsShade@steinkobbe hilariously my mother bought one in 2017 because she thought buying an electric car was a fuck you to trump (not saying this was a coherent political act )
it took people a while but they got used to 40 thousand + auto fatalities a year and now we don't think about it. the same will happen with air travel.
@jamiedupree it would be impossible for them to object if a democratic president did it. that would be hypocrisy. also i don't imagine they think they will ever have to worry about a democratic president again.
@_Billdozer_@ryangrim it didn't work - hamas is still there and their capacity is not appreciably diminished. that was the primary objective for israel. to empty gaza you would have to get rid of the civilian population and the 40k+ strong armed force in tunnels there. it isn't possible without nukes
@dee_of_e if there are fewer planes they will be more valuable so people will take better care of them. so we need enough planes to crash to incentivize safer air travel.
