90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.
Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.
@RMC19861987@JohnPasalis at least get your fact straight LOL - that's just plain incorrect Article 34.7 is a trigger to annual reviews not ending. 34.6 is the one that will end it (and yeah Trump may pull that lever and he may do it on Canada Day)
My assessment is that Netanyahu is going to respond.
He has a rare opportunity to demonstrate to the entire region that Israel can be trusted - and that he does not fold, even in the face of Trump.
He is receiving quiet approval via a private call from Trump - who will publicly disavow the move, for the reason I outlined earlier: the Saudis.
Nassim Taleb: you don't need to predict the future. You need an option on it.
Thales got mocked for being a poor philosopher, so he put tiny deposits on every olive press in town before the harvest - nothing lost if he was wrong, a fortune if he was right.
"The opposite of fragile isn't robust. It's something that wants disorder - you write 'please mishandle' on the box."
"Jump 10 meters and you die. Jump one meter ten times and nothing happens. That's fragility."
"Convexity matters a lot more than knowledge - you can guess worse than random and still come out ahead."
bookmark and watch it today - an hour on fat tails, antifragility, and how to position so randomness pays you ↓
SpaceX IPO is generating heroic measures to find buyers. Moving it into the S&P immediately grabs the passive flows. The lockout period has been truncated and graduated so that $1.5 trillion of shares looking for suckers (new owners) don't arrive all on the same day. Other AI-based IPOs will also put pressure on the markets to find buyers. You may recall the the markets could not absorb all the shares coming out of lockout period in the dot-com boom. The result was the pin hitting the bubble. I think these huge IPOs will be the same missile hitting the current bubble, but what do I know?
Twelve boys were trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand. The world held its breath. Elon Musk built a mini submarine, the actual rescue divers said it was useless for those conditions, and his response was to call one of those divers a pedophile.
No evidence. No reason. The man had just helped save children, had dismissed Musk's gadget as a publicity stunt, and Musk replied by branding him a child abuser to tens of millions of followers.
This is the tell. Strip away the rockets and the net worth and you find a man whose ego cannot survive being told his idea is not needed. A child rescue became about him. The lowest accusation available came out the moment someone bruised his pride.
People say he is a genius and that is why we tolerate the behavior. Look at the behavior on its own. A grown man called a rescuer a pedophile over a submarine that did not fit.
The genius is real. So is what he reached for the second he felt small.
@jonkay@HadleyFreeman@thetimes Glavin: Given the atrociously high death rate at the residential schools— it is expected that far more burials will be located at the site.

This isn’t even remotely true. $AMZN went public in 1997 at a $450M valuation, or 3x revenues. $GOOGL went public in 2004 at a $23B valuation and at 7x revenues. $META had a $104B valuation in 2012 at 20x revenues(and immediately sold off almost 50%). SpaceX dwarfs these numbers.
@nationalpost Terry Glavin and Postmedia like to direct your attention away from the fact they helped propagate the 'conspiracy theory' and national moral panic at the time like all the other Canadian journalists⬇️
