So here's the thing. You can only violate people's legal rights and your own word so far before they lawyer up and come after you. I really do hope Musk changes his mind and does the right thing - the employees deserve that. But it'll be fun as hell if he doesn't.

We've just released OttoWeather, our new 3D weather application for iPadOS! It is a free app, and it has unique visualization capabilities. This release is targeted at aviation and pilots. It has been built from the ground up by us, using Metal. apple.co/3hpyXiT

@FractalDesignNA my Define 7 case began smoking and it was the pwm cable in the fan hub. Is this a known issue?

As I've written, it's not just that every billionaire is a policy failure: every billionaire is a factory for producing policy failures at scale: onezero.medium.com/rubber-hoses-f… 16/

@BlainPlanes 1920: Look at the number of horses vs the number of cars. Why should we spend money to make roads safer?

Cougar, Mountain Lion, Puma, and Panther all refer to the same animal. It holds the world record as the animal with the most names (40 in English alone). en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cougar

Things I Would Do as President of the US (not boring) 1. Aggressively weaponize immigration. Just brain drain the world as aggressively as possible. You're 24 yo estonian with a PHD in materials science? Congrats ur a citizen in 7-10 business days. You like baseball now.

@designatednerd The most obnoxious part about telling someone you went to Ohio State is the inevitable “don’t you mean THE… ”, which happens 100% of the time.

@JoeTravels @BlainPlanes This sums up my point better than I could in a tweet: johnhcochrane.blogspot.com/2020/03/bailou…

@_johnmyers @BlainPlanes Again, reasonable debates about moral hazard, etc. but goal of PSP was stopping layoffs - and it worked. It resulted in many people getting paid, and/or getting paid for longer. Whether that was good/bad, right/wrong, optimal policy, fair for taxpayers, etc is different argument.

@JoeTravels @BlainPlanes My implication was all of it, obviously some went to payroll as was legally required to. There’s a misunderstanding I believe of what happens when large companies fail (could be ownership transfer and loss of shareholder value), and the moral hazard of bailouts.

@_johnmyers @BlainPlanes And it did. Reasonable disagreement on whether it was the *right* policy, but really no question the policy worked: thousands of people weren't laid off while PSP was in effect. But airlines (and their shareholders) can't afford to pay every worker when revenue is down 2/3.
