Actually, this would be considered a “secondary boycott” which is illegal in the US: “Secondary boycotts: These are strikes that are directed at someone other than the strikers’ employer.”

Wise was reliable and cheap up until October when they cancelled all the business debit cards and changed all business account/ routing numbers, both with a 2 day heads up. There’s no way to pay any of the bills that require debit&#x2F

They may be subsidized (sort of) in that they pay lower taxes, on the theory that they’re not sending anyone to school at that age. And age discrimination in housing is actually illegal, the 55+ and 65+ situations are special exclusions.

In the US the seller pays for both the listing agent as well as the buyer’s agent. When you list your house, you agree to a commission for your listing agent and you advertise a commission to co-broke on the MLS listing, which entices buyer

You’re not forced into taking any deal you don’t want to; your real estate agent can’t accept deals without your consent. I agree, agents are usually more focused on deal flow than particular outcomes, but it’s sort of a fundamental issue w

At the risk of getting downvoted into oblivion, that sounds a lot like TypeScript (compiler yelling at you to fix things but you just want to try an idea without perfecting it).

They’re both cool, they have different appeals. The Dutch bills are like an art house rendition of what hipsters would want to earn and spend, the US 10,000 is like “NYC, big buildings, big cars, capitalist empire” chic.

Curious about your stance on the “1969 Government of Canada report on how to deal with aboriginal people”. Ostensibly, this would have provided everyone with the same healthcare and would have avoided these lawsuits about deficient healthca

I use it frequently, I prefer it to human drivers. They’ve definitely nailed it.

Sorry, I defended crypto vehemently for years, but against a growing mountain of evidence and no serious use-cases after exhausting countless engineering hours and VC… it kinda seems like a scam at this point.

“Redfin will go further than resigning from the NAR board, requiring our brokers and agents to leave NAR everywhere we can” Wow, they’re really pulling out the big guns. I applaud their efforts to decouple MLS access from NAR, that seems to

True, but the first version was garbage, the resolution was like 2007 Razr quality. I feel like the better image quality, battery life, and form-factor this gets, it will become a lot more compelling a product. I would never have bought the

Well, the integration into social media is novel too. When I did a demo I signed into my account and when I filmed something it went directly as a post to my IG. If there were more ability to do more editing and get access to the raw footag

Yeah, that’s just not what the product is. It’s not targeted at helping people navigate roads, it’s for giving creators a more seamless way of getting footage in their everyday life. Meta spent a crazy amount of money hosting a giant party

Is that supposed to be a dig? So you’re advocating for zealotry? Weird take.

Nuclear subs are a lot more exotic, you need to go from 0-60 in a few seconds, so they make fuel plates instead of rods so it really bumps up the neutron population quickly. There’s no need to adjust criticality that rapidly at a generating

When I was studying nuclear in 2010 Gates was employing my professor as technical advisor for standing wave reactors, so he’s been interested in nukes for a while. Modular reactors were cool theoretical ideas at the time similar to 3D print

That’s fair, if they can prove negligence (which it sounds like they have a shot at) I’d be down to see some criminal charges.

Idk, a $4.85B settlement seems like they really extracted their pound of flesh. In the thesis statement where they question if Chinese lives are worth more than American lives, I wonder if they’re specifically looking for capital punishment

What if the solution is for people who can’t afford to live there to move to a city where they can afford?

Definitely. CAD in the browser? WASM. High-end photographic computation in the browser? WASM. Pretty much everything else… not WASM

After they had a prototype they wanted to move forward with, they could have made an injection mold for $5k and each subsequent part would take 3 seconds and 6 cents to make, it’s shocking how tightly people will cling to 3D printing.

Interesting how they neglected to discuss their methodology for determining what was “extremist” material.

I like how they referred to it as “halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco” like it was just in some random field, as opposed to being in San Luis Obispo, which also has Cal Poly.

Is this like getting a parking ticket from a private company? What if he just tells them where to go?

Maybe not, but management does have outsized effects on culture which _can_ be a game-changer for trajectory.
