It’s not a problem if they lose money, but it is a problem if they have an expectation that they’ll lose money. Would you invest in anything that you’d expect to lose money on?

It’s also keeping a lot of homeless people out on the streets and forcing others to commute from Stockton. You’re either lucky on the inside, or completely shit out of luck.

So if rents go down, even temporarily, you potentially get trapped underwater? Who would want to rent out apartments in that environment?

I don’t think I really understood Ruby classes until I learned JavaScript (which didn’t really have classes at the time, and are still pretty different). The mental model that developed for me was that classes are basically fancy functions

Well, I think what they need is to look at a blog like https://putthison.com/ . It’s easier to read a few articles on there than to try to use some janky app everyday.

Even if it worked well, it hard to believe using it would be less effort than figuring things out on your own. Men who care about what they look like are probably going to have decent instincts about what to wear. Men who don’t care, well,

I think there’s still plenty of low hanging fruit out there, especially for B2C, people just aren’t thinking about it in the right way. Too many resources have been devoted to providing marginal conveniences (all of the delivery companies),

I’d really like to see Apple/Google or others try to turn screen time into a sort of currency. A child does some chores? They get 30 minutes of scene time added to their bank account. They keep some screen time unused and they earn int

Always a complaint about Electron on here. Frankly, Notion and it’s ilk would not be nearly has great or feature rich without Electron. It perhaps wouldn’t even exist. Trust, it being an Electron app is a good thing for you, despite its lim

Adding on here, I think you can make a pretty good argument that California does capitalism better than anyone else in the world. Just within a few miles of each other, you have Apple, Google, Facebook, Tesla, Nvidia, Adobe, PayPal, Netflix

Republican state leaders sure do talk a lot about being pro-business. It is interesting that California and Washington headquarter all four of the world’s trillion dollar public companies, plus a boatload of $100B+ companies, and vibrant st

If states really want to attract high income remote workers, they should construct communities specifically designed for them. I’d like to see a town that isn’t meant to have a lot of commuters. Have lots of public space and encourage socia

I just get the digital versions. Their app includes high quality audio recordings of all their articles, which makes it much easier for me to listen to all I’m interested in. I also got my subscription through discountmags and locked in the

I think more should adopt The Economist model. Yes, they definitely have an opinion, and they push it, but they're open about it and are fair to other sides. It's much better than feigning impartiality, or doing a half-hearted &qu

No, haven’t done any perf testing. I’m pretty sure Vue is moving to use Poxies, so I think it’s somewhat safe. You can still use useState where you need it.
