@elonmusk Many of them are exchanges tho

@elonmusk Elon plz

How have hundreds of billions upon hundreds of billions of dollars been spent in the name of security since 9/11, along with the deployment of drones and surveillance tech, yet a few hundred protestors can so easily breach the Capitol, just waltzing in and taking it over?

[Kevin Becker @kmbecker13]

This level of customer "service" is incredibly poor, absolutely do not recommend anyone uses @stockx in the future.

So after 10 sales on @StockX i get an email saying my latest item failed verification. They claim the box was empty when they received it, so the shoes were either stolen or removed during shipping - now StockX won't do anything

[Kevin Becker @kmbecker13]

StockX continues to refuse to help. UPS has asked for additional photos of the shipped box for my claim and StockX will not provide them.

When asking for a photo of the boxes certification stamp StockX even says "well you shipped it to us" and can't be bothered to help

@chamath @YukonBrandon @wadeblack @TrevAHall @chrisglopez You may find that flotation is more or less effective from a certain part of your circuit, you may find that certain batches of rock are harder than others and require additional grinding etc.

Going from open loop to closed loop is very important with variable geology

[Kevin Becker @kmbecker13]

@chamath @YukonBrandon @wadeblack @TrevAHall @chrisglopez Say you have a fixed process for grinding and extracting minerals from an incoming supply of rocks.

Real-time particle size analysis and chemical composition can enable you to fine tune grinding (save $) and improve recovery rates overall.

[Kevin Becker @kmbecker13]

@chamath @chrisglopez Compare block caving with the following mining method (stoping) which, for example, is used at most of the Nevada underground gold mines (among others) and requires lots of drilling, blasting and manual material movement.

Geology plays a BIG role

[Kevin Becker @kmbecker13]

@chamath @chrisglopez Block caving means very low operating costs, but requires lots of capital cost to develop. It's as close to a "rock factory" as you can get, though

Note underground deposits are becoming more and more common due to depletion of surface deposits.

@chamath @CCapLP Check out "bio-heap leaching" where we use some very interesting bacteria to process ores for us, it's a slower process but super promising in terms of economics AND environmental impact.

[Kevin Becker @kmbecker13]

@chamath @CCapLP Ni-Cu-PGE deposits have lots of very important elements for the future of humanity.

Keep in mind that sulfide deposits are typically exploited due to ease of separating minerals with froth flotation, but exposed sulfide tailing bring acid mine drainage.

[Kevin Becker @kmbecker13]

@chamath @chrisglopez Studied mining engineering before switching industries to SpaceX 6 years ago so innovation + mining is near to my heart.

2x other big wins are reducing time to access a deposit (faster revenue/better IRR) and autonomous machinery for safety and productivity.

[Kevin Becker @kmbecker13]

@stockx Great the same canned response i've gotten for the last week. I do not have the drop off receipt and that is NOT required by UPS for a claim - so why do you keep asking for it?

The tracking info shows the exact same information.

Before (Sept 13th) and After (today).

These encampments are themselves a significant health risk to everyone in the area. Whether assault, drug overdose, fire, rape, shootings, stabbing.... #Venice #Culver #Palms

@pa_heise @MayorOfLA Homeless encampment under the 405 caught on fire, they had basically built a tinder box out of wooden pallets over last few months and city hasn't done anything about it.
