He said:
Your probability of dying on Mars is much higher than on Earth
I very much disagree. I'm pretty sure I'm going to die on Earth.
-
Some part of me really wants to see him try. I don't like that part. It's the same part that's hoping the hurricane hits big.
-
@gleemonk is it the same part that hopes for widespread adoption of self-driving cars?

More to the point, for the average person,
p(deathOnMars)
is much smaller thanp(deathOnEarth)
...And he wants to do rocket surgery?

Would be interesting to see if he's still allowed to legally own and direct companies from another planet!

Not sure if happy you reinforced my point or sad you killed my joke by explaining it.

His PR stunts are getting dumber and dumber.

Mr. Musk, the shareholder meeting is now opened. Please confirm your presence.
(36 minutes later) I -*bzzt*- can't... can't hear -*shhh*- you very well...
Mr. Musk, I suggest you take this very seriously.
(36 minutes later) The potatoes!-*shhh*- I've been spewing so much crap that the potatoes have grown -*krhrhr*-. It's blocking the radio signal... -*fzzt*-

Mr. Bayes would like to have a word with you.

Your chances of dying on Earth drop dramatically if you blast yourself into space.

My bet is, if he tries, they'll find a way for the answer to be no.

One would think he'd run out of dumb eventually. But not yet, apparently.

You're in tech. You should know dumb is boundless.

Pretty sure if I tried to blast myself into space I'd most likely kill myself before I managed to even start to get out of the atmosphere.

That's not blasting yourself into space, though, that's blasting yourself into the atmosphere.

Ubiquiti used it as the basis for their software, stable at 10Gbps on quite modest hardware.

We are working on the New website version
But you can still use our resourcesHaving this as the very first thing you see on their homepage fills me with confidence in their project.

There’s plenty of space in the atmosphere to blast yourself into.

@Gurth lots of space on Earth too. And much cheaper. On the downside, you die on Earth.

So, if I die in the ionosphere do I die on Earth? Do I have to pass a LaGrange point? Any part of the troposphere I can die in and not die on Earth?

In other Musk news, apparently he expects his employees to work 80 hours/week, because ”that’s the amount of time you need to put in if you want to change the world” as he put it according to the article I saw.

@Gąska said in Mr. Musk, you tease us...:
Que? How something specifically designed for pointing to things, is something you would want other things to point at?
As has been said already,
<a>
isn’t designed solely to point to something, it’s designed to work as both ends of a link. (TIL that HTML+ of 1993 apparently supportedid
attributes as link targets, but HTML 2.0 of 1995 didn’t.)How does that even make sense? The only case I can imagine where
<a>
doesn't havehref
is when it hasonclick
event listener that replicates the functionality ofhref
.I hate those … “Ah, a file I want to download, I’ll just right-click and Save as … ‽ One of those links, is it?”

Honest question - I know next to nothing about web development.

@Gąska Probably very rarely, if ever, anymore. Back when I learned HTML, it was the only way to link to anything — you’d basically always use something like
<a name=foo><h2>Bar</h2> <!-- Note lack of quotes and </a> -->
to be able to link to the header Bar, whereas nowadays I doubt anyone ever uses anything else than
<h2 id="foo">Bar</h2> <!-- Note the quotes -->
In fact, I suspect that suggesting
<a name="foo">
to some modern web developers might even get you into a flame war over how that’s not the “correct” way to do it.

I thought I would readily find examples in the wild but I don't, so what silly tricks are being resorted to achieve in-page-anchor nav here I do not want to even consider.
