Not at all a bad take. The PE model has only existed during the ~40 year period that were an extreme outlier in terms of bond performance, liquidity, and equity return averages. They've never had to suffer a tail event that wasn't

It certainly does not mean that poor choices and addiction haven't lead to any or even most of the outcomes in SF. It means that the exact combination of dynamics in SF have produced different rates of homelessness than other places. N

The idea that the psych fields are some kind of wizards that have the only secret knowledge that can fix people's problems is probably the most damaging idea out there. You could find a good psychiatrist or psyschologist who helps you

> Rates of homelessness are not correlated with "life choices" What could this possibly even mean? Someone roles a dice and then somebody materializes on the side of the road with a tent and a shopping cart and a fentanyl addic

The SF/VC crowd, for all of it's feel good bullshit, essentially subscribe to a brand of technocratic authoritarianism. Stuff like heaven banning sounds fine in principle, it game theoretically solves a problem if you acknowledge

I don't think this is that complicated. Exactly as I literally said in the above post, the combination of labor quantity * productivity = output. if your labor quantity goes down but productivity goes up gdp can go up. This isn't

Ok, seems sketchy, but also he said she said and also basically par for the course with dealing with most corporations. If they got it in writing and they clearly didnt receive services than sue I guess? As I said, I would never defend Kala

What's the scam here? A bunch of people went into a super competitive industry where a vast majority of businesses fail within a few years and then failed. I certainly wouldn't work with any company related to Kalanick or Uber but

You are literally asking why we don't say what is literally true and instead we say something that elicits an image by comparison. That's the answer. Because they choose to use a metaphor instead of speaking literally.

You can't see how a decrease in home sales relates to 2008, a crisis where one of the primary drivers was people underwater on their houses, because they had lost value because they couldn't sell them. Someone keeps telling me tha

There should be MAJOR fines and penalties here. The reasons stuff like this happens all the time, is because it's just a business expense to the company, while they strand real people in incredibly difficult and often dangerous and occ

Crazy to me that this is downvoted. It's the core truth of our debt based economic system. Our economic system will explode violently in a default cascade without population growth or productivity growth and we haven't been able t

This seems to be some kind of combo ad for the cruise ships plus meta. As someone who did the digital nomad thing for ~5 years I think this guy will hugely regret this, especially the 12 year obligation element. As someone else said, he&#x2

This is empirically not always true. Higher taxes can lead to lower tax revenues if it reduces the size of the pie when business go to tax friendly jurisdictions. This can also work with income taxes. For example if you set income tax at 10

I love how it forces them to say the quiet part out loud: "The kind of tracking that all of these companies do is against your interest and should be considered a threat". In this case they are implying that China having my data s

I've been doing Rails for 10+ years and `unless x` absolutely breaks my mind. I have to internally convert it to `if !x` and evaluate it in my head 90% of the time.

Why is this even permitted to stay up on HN? It's blatant partisan pandering. Would calling someone a far left activist on HN be a slur?

The part that's confusing to me is why this is even controversial or interesting. It seems like a huge number of people who are educated enough to know better really struggle to come to any viewpoint between it's 100% a scam and i

Tell him you know what's up, that you are giving him two weeks to reimburse the company in full and not a penny less, and that if he does that, this will be forgiven this one time. Make it clear that anything except 100% compliance and

I don't think people on average realize the degree to which pretty much every element of American life has been sold out to private equity and scrapped for parts. There's no point in even fighting back at this point. The governmen
