@moniquepowell@RTRowe 1. The population, quite frankly, is old. 2. We are digital laggards on a whole. My humble opinion is that Kingston and Montego Bay is a couple decades ahead of every other parish and that we’ll have to encourage the rest of gen pop to get bank accounts and “get digital”.
@RTRowe@moniquepowell No link, would have to get it online. The thing is that literacy and uptake are connected in a strong way. The literature reviewed suggested that alot of the population didn’t even have a bank account. Its not predictive but digital literacy and trust in the banking system is big
@RTRowe@moniquepowell Lol everytime I see this topic I mention the thesis I did on this. The population is just not ready for it. Byles should pat himself on the back, in fact, for doing it before most countries.
It isn’t that surprising… He has already done ridiculous things. This is the most ridiculous. If I was him I wouldn’t be surprised the most complex thing man can make fails. Its rocket science. Its hard. failure point is a data point. If you have the resources you try again.
Elon Musk's first wife once described what it's like to watch him fail.
She said he doesn't react the way normal people react. When a rocket explodes, most people in the room go silent. Some cry. Some start calculating the financial damage.
Musk pulls out his phone and starts making calls. Not emotional calls. Engineering calls. "What failed. When can we fix it. When's the next launch." His voice doesn't change. His face doesn't change. The rocket that just cost $60 million is already in the past. The next one is all that exists.
She said it was the most unsettling thing she'd ever witnessed. Not because he was cold. Because he genuinely wasn't affected. The failure didn't register as failure. It registered as data. An experiment that produced results. Results that inform the next experiment.
This is why he wins. Not because he doesn't fail. He fails more spectacularly than anyone in history. He wins because failure occupies zero psychological space. It enters as data and exits as action.
Most people lose not because they fail but because they spend weeks processing the failure before acting again. Musk spends zero seconds. The gap between failure and next attempt is a phone call.

NEWS: Elon Musk laid out SpaceX's core mission in precise terms during his Forbes interview, describing the specific test he uses to define a genuinely self-sustaining civilization beyond Earth.
If resupply ships from Earth stop arriving for any reason, does the civilization on the Moon or Mars continue to grow or does it collapse? Passing that test is the actual goal, not simply putting humans on another planet.
To reach it, Elon estimates humanity needs to deliver roughly 1 million tons of cargo to the Moon or Mars to build sufficient industrial capacity.
He was careful to define what multi-planetary actually means. It is not about leaving Earth and relocating somewhere else. That would simply be a single-planet civilization in a harder place to live. The goal is for humanity to extend outward while keeping Earth intact, eventually becoming a spacefaring civilization spread across multiple worlds.
SpaceX's Starship, targeting full reusability as early as this year, is the vehicle Musk says makes the million-ton goal physically achievable. He described this as a "fundamental breakthrough" he hopes to see happen in 2026.
Not sure how to interpret the misogyny thing…. I saw a definition for misogyny that mentioned ingrained prejudice, “dislike of” and contempt. But despite this men still pursue women? Is it just the physical attraction keeping men under women’s tails?
Respectfully NO!! The reason males are oblivious 2 women’s reproductive health is misogyny. They can only view the world from the lens of patriarchy & their fragile “masculinity”. As is males barely even know abt their own bodies.
This is a very common but interesting take as the general consumer tends to use and comment on the free lower tier model from chatgpt and compare it to a significantly subsidized but higher performing model from Anthropic.
This just isn’t true unless your talking about highway driving but that is extremely unlikely. No 2 litre 2+ ton suv is doing that without a dedicated hybrid system which the x3 doesn’t have. If the screen is saying that you are definitely misinterpreting the range estimate.
The Landuse plan in the DOs reveals the problem. The brown is residential, and the colorful area is the activity. Segregated land use means we live on one side of the city and every morning and evening we commute to and from a concentrated core. Widening roads cannot fix this.
@Truth_Rights39@AnitaShanz Im sure everyone that goes to work pays more in gas than for light. And who says that if you’re home you eat more. Wouldn’t ppl eat at work any way? Why would everyone decide to eat more???
likely, nonetheless, it remains a function in a company or business. The API will lend well to automation but some human element must review. MSME’s will uptake quickly while larger businesses will maintain their lines for marketing, branding and communications longer.
