This article is merely summarizing a longer article at Bloomberg, in case anyone would like to read something more substantial.

> The company also denied claims made in a June article in Forbes that its founder strays from the truth. On stage at a Bloomberg conference in June, Mostaque said that he sometimes is misunderstood. “I’m doing the best I can,” he told the audience. “I have a very definitive view of the future.”

Does anyone understand what is meant by "a very definitive view of the future" in this context?

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

It even has a tvtropes page, which does seem to largely align with the article.

[haldujai]

I misunderstood your reply and thought you were saying “I have a very definitive view of the future” has a tvtropes so I Googled it.

Interestingly, a different Bloomberg article from June has a slightly different version of the Mostaque quote, was also questioned by a commenter on HN, and "emadm" (I'm assuming that's him) responded: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36512994

Edit: There's a third article with the same quote too: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-06-28/stability...

That's three articles within 6 weeks by Rachel Metz and Mark Bergen using the same quote. I found it interesting too but that's a bit much (and lazy).

A future where I am not successful is definitely not an option.

Wouldn't happen to have an archive.org version would you?

I gave up on that link after the third or fourth captcha..

What browser do these links actually work in? Every time I load one it is an SSL error with no option to continue.

[AareyBaba]

On Firefox, these archive links go into an endless captcha loop or error: SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP.

But the link works fine on Safari.

I think they have issues with 1.1.1.1 DNS

[carom]

Thank you so much. I am on basically all of my devices.

Edit: Cloudflare is doing the right thing, archive is being unreasonable - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828702

[andreareina]

Are you using cloudflare for dns?

[haldujai]

iCloud Private Relay also uses Cloudflare DNS which I only recently learned in case anyone else was unaware.

With that said 8.8.8.8 is still throwing me into an infinite Cloudflare captcha loop.

[bhickey]

I inquired with cloudflare and they aren't serving that captcha page. Cloudflare switched from reCAPTCHA in 2020. The archive page is a copy.

Local DNS cache?
