What? No. Homeless people aren't helpless animals in need of coddling. They are human beings with intelligence, perfectly capable of exploiting incentives and your kindness. They terrorize eachother, and those who interact with them. I

The SEC says no, or there is a shareholder lawsuit. Publicly traded securities aren't the Wild West, and the real world has built up comparatively effective dispute resolution tooling like "courts," elected and appointed &quo

A healthy control premium over the market price for a publicly traded stock is a bit far and away from being "rugpulled"

All models are wrong, but some are useful. We all know that efficiencies have driven down the cost of many manufactured goods (like TVs) and scalable services (like ATMs and online banking) We also all know that cost disease has driven up n

I care about purchasing power over time. If inflation is going to mean that regardless of how I invest, tomorrow I will be able to buy less, then I would buy more today. I know there are limits, like in 1920 I couldn't buy a 1gbps inte

Yeah, exactly! I think 8x is basically 10x (less than one magnitude difference). You got my math

We have a small team (8 devs) and we've focused a ton of energy on developer experience and ergonomics to reduce the cost of contribution and code reviews, and facilitate interaction with other stakeholders. I'm confident at this

Engineers have to understand the business, talk with other stakeholders, design systems, write code, write tests, support the production environment, etc, etc, etc. Why would decisionmakers want to add outsource-able ops overhead to that ve

How many sources would satisfy you, given that an institution like New Yorker publishing the take doesn't? If you give me a reasonable number (less than 10 min of work) I'm happy to deliver.

You're assuming every team would have better uptime with in-house solutions I think many would have worse uptime even with more headcount

I literally remember waiting for individual windows to close when I would press the 'x' It took like 3-5 seconds at least, growing up

Honestly the media coverage makes it sound like the Russians run our elections. That perception is a much bigger win from them than anything they got from Facebook ads and bots. So many Americans want to believe that the only way anybody co

I remember waiting for loading modals when you would try to close windows. In what world was anything faster 20 years ago? Do these readers not remember waiting minutes for their computer to start up?

Reading stuff like this makes me think that Elizabeth Holmes would have been fine if she weren't in a regulated space that tied into people's health.

Slippery slopes aren't really a type of fallacy. Much in the same way that conspiracies are often real. Outside of limited cases where speech can be linked to physical harm, it should be legal and unrestricted. And companies should emb

Call the district office and see if you can get a meeting with the district manager to talk about the issue. Then go to district events that your rep will be at, get the district manager to introduce you to the rep. That's way better t
