Straight talk by @Eskom_SA CFO Calib Cassim. This is just 1 of 15 questions put to the Eskom CFO in a wide-ranging post-SONA interview by @chrisyelland of @eepublishers on Friday 8 February 2019. Watch this space for the full interview tonight. bit.ly/2tdOGVV
@Eskom_SA @eepublishers Cassim: "The best thing that has ever happened is the presidential task team, & the fact that we have the ear of the president who understands the urgency. He used the words “financial crisis” in his state-of-the-nation address, & this is the best way to describe where we are".
@Eskom_SA @eepublishers Cassim: "I fully agree that this is undoubtedly the biggest ever financial calamity faced by government. At the end of the day, it’s not about Eskom any more with the guarantees. If we go down, we bring down the sovereign and the economy. This does cause sleepless nights."

Eskom cannot simply pass all of its financial sustainability problems on to the customer through increased tariffs. When @NERSA_ZA does not give @Eskom_SA what it wants, others will have to step in to help share the burden, including:...
@NERSA_ZA @Eskom_SA 1. @Eskom_SA itself must share the burden through a lower rate of return on assets, increased efficiency and belt tightening across the board.
2. The shareholder/tax payer must share the burden through further bail outs/equity injections linked to a recovery plan...
@NERSA_ZA @Eskom_SA 3. Eskom executives, management, staff and workers must share the burden through reduced pay, forgoing bonuses, reduced numbers, retrenchments and improved productivity...

Stacked drop, last over a repost of #Q 1164.
This is an explanation of how #FVEY was used to circumvent data collection laws. Also, how #Hussein, #HRC, #LL,Brennan & #Clapper met in a #SCIF 2plan their #SurveillanceOp & #CoupAttempt.

When Jamaicans abroad complain to me about Tivoli Gardens, Denham Town and other areas (which they have often never been to), I have to point out the parts of Miami and Orlando that I don’t feel safe going to after dark.

Every large city has zones of danger and exclusion
Focus on the solutions for those areas rather than pretending that those areas are unique in the world. Don’t stigmatize the residents and paint all with a broad brush.

Be part of the solution or be quiet.
Being “part of the solution” can be as simple as reading about successful pilot programmers in other cities...or better yet...learning about the successful ones in Jamaica itself.

Never heard of them? It’s called Google.

They exist.
They need PR.
They need funding.
Do either

1) On April, 13th 2018, after calling The Economist "Boring", Musk said, "$TSLA will be profitable and cash flow+ in Q3 & Q4, so obv no need to raise money."
2) Every trick in the book was pulled off to make Q3/Q4 profitable and CF+, while customers waited and continue to wait to get parts, service appointments $1k deposit refunds for months or sometimes wait 1+ hours to have someone answer the 1-800 phone number.
3) The damage to $TSLA's reputation by subjecting buyers of $100k+ cars to such actions is certainly going to be devastating to Tesla in the long run. This effect exponentially gets worse as Tesla delivers more cars. Elon Musk is not an idiot and certainly realizes this.

Two Worlds, One Twitter.

A thread on how power works in Twitter, and an extrapolation for the real world.

A TL:DR is at the end of the thread.

First, I'm going to define power, so we are on the same page.

Power is knowing powerful people. And I mean knowing on a personal basis, having a relationship with said powerful person.

The reason this is power is because you have access to their resources, without owning them.
Putin and the Queen of England are powerful because they can directly control an infinite number of assets, without having to own them.

These are extreme outliers in power, but the basis is the same. It all depends on the scale.

Power, un-ironically, follows a Power Law.

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai

.@jordanbpeterson argues that it is hypocritical for women to wear makeup & not to expect sexual coercion (harassment) & that maybe they're partially to blame if it happens. Here is thread on why he is maybe fractally wrong (wrong at every conceivable scale of resolution)
He is distorting current evolutionary psychology/biology evidence & making grandiose claims (hypocrisy). Makeup can be a poor & FALSE signal of sociosexuality. This implies that maybe women who use it are not doing it only for intersexual display & sexual availability (for men)
This adds to the evidence that makeup can be a bad or even false signal for inferring behaviors, attitudes and desires linked to the willingness to engage in sexual relationships without emotional commitment (short-term mating effort).
