Easy to imagine practices where the primary owner is going to retire and looking for an out. Maybe they find a buyer in a doctor, maybe they don't, but PE provides them an exit that keeps the practice operating in the community. Many p

If you don't own the land and can't demonstrate a direct, severe impact to you and yours from the actions of someone else, you shouldn't have a say. "More traffic" is not sufficient. I can actually sort of believe s

For a laymen, I don't follow this. Are you proving for some arbitrary definition of == that isn't what we commonly consider the definition? How is it logically coherent? You mean only in the sense that you say it is and you haven&

Thank you for this take. It's like giving people excessive discretion. Then if you're someone they don't like (eg. a black person if you're racist), then you deal out a maximalist punishment. If they're someone you

The fact you're using this as an example of public review being a good thing shows how fucked up the process is. You're cheering for the prevention of building new housing in the most valuable, most useful part of the town. I bet

People don't feel like they are well-represented by either party. They may like some republican stances (say, reduced regulations and welfare spending), but despise others (Trump, wars, anti-renewable). Meanwhile they might like some d

I believe so. AIs are shockingly good at a lot of domains, but there's still a lot of pretty basic stuff they don't really "understand" at a conceptual level and (currently) they can't learn to get better at them. (

OK, so its way better. that doesn't make it AGI. If I can't give it an arbitrary task and have it solve that task eventually, it's not a general intelligence.

Merged companies are more able to compete. Combining duplicate corporate structures let them save on costs, etc. It's not a strictly bad thing - iirc spirit? Airlines? Wanted to merge with someone, got denied, and went bankrupt anyway,

Look, I'm not entirely convinced AI will be as revolutionary as some believe but it's still pretty clear it's able to provide capabilities we've never had before. Dismissing it entirely is pretty hard to justify.

How does it cost your community money? How does it damage the environment? By using energy? Like literally any other human enterprise? What's wrong with it creating wealth? You don't have to spend money on it, it's none of yo

Not really. I earn a reasonable income, but the reality is even though I live alone and don't really think about where I spend my money finances are good. I could quite easily save a fair bit more than I currently do if I wanted to. My

American fixed 30y mortgages actually make interest rate policy much less effective, in theory. In most countries with normal mortgages, raising rates fairly immediately transmits through to the rest of the economy, because it affects the m

3-5x is way too much if you're still working. 1x is plenty IMO.

The magic of market pricing means people will figure out the best solution and optimise towards that. Hot water heater tanks are easily one of the most obviously good applications of noon excess energy, and resistive heating elements might

Yes, the government subsidies for home batteries specifically are a very poorly targeted handout. Unfortunately splashy policies like this are classic vote buying measures, even if economically they don't make much sense - home batteri

The connection fee would also rise with less energy consumption/free electricity to amortize the fixed costs of the power grid.

Radio telescopes are hilariously massive. I'm not sure it'd be easy to reproduce their capabilities in space?

Starling is 10k satellites shared across the entire planet. A satellite will serve thousands of customers, whereas a fixed line only serves one. I think 10k is also severely understating the cost per customer. There's like hundreds of

I'm a bit surprised you don't run into things like this then :). Do you use GDB and the like at all? Or do you mean all the windows specific stuff etc, I guess I was more imaging the call stack etc. No insult was intended XD

Paying for T2 means the whole team gets faster T2s. Giving them resources lets them build them faster because their own resource generation is less than that of the team. T2s are so good this is an objectively good tradeoff. It's not a

Well, they can't sell out the game code. That's not how GPL works.

This very much depends on the lobby. I don't think this is unique to BAR either - it's just that 8v8 is the most popular mode. Lots of players mean more chances to get a toxic guy who doesn't recognise their own faults and bl

Depends, they've gone to pains to ensure the indexes will buy as share lockups end. It's dodgy no matter how you look at. The one saving grace is s&p isnt changing anything, and they were by far the biggest index.

That's why broadcom bought the company he went with instead.

Isn't this what all of the big companies that spend a lot on R&D and engineers promise? And then the reality turns out not to be the case - you have to continuously spend on R&D to avoid getting your lunch eaten by someone else

I think the more salient points for the paywalls is people want pay once access everything, instead of piecemeal. I would certainly be happy to subscribe to "news" in general, but not a dozen different providers for one article ap

As in, current indexes perform that much worse. Frontrunners around index rebalancing etc. SpaceX is the same idea, just way more obvious. People knows what the index funds are going to do, and so they exploit that. The alternative funds ar
