I’ve long been in favor of rewriting the constitution. Everyone hates how the government operates—courts are politicized and at risk of being captured, the legislature is at a constant impasse, everything is hyper partisan, the executive is

I wonder if there was some deal China made with Zhang Yiming to have ByteDance take a worse offer from Oracle, knowing Oracle would end up killing it.

For a reporter at znet, that mush seem like a fortune. But yeah, for someone who might be qualified for that position, it would be a pittance. Governments really just need to be competitive with their pay if they’re going be successful in t

I think the most compelling reason for a company to go public now is that it means they can off recruits liquid equity. I wouldn’t be surprised if the recent wave of filings was partially driven by a sense that star employees were being poa

Oh, yes there were some teen romcoms that had sequels (eg. Kissing Booth 2). I’m not exactly the target audience for those.

I went from Ruby to JavaScript development. First, I’d like to say I think starting with Ruby/Rails is a bad idea. Ruby uses a lot of higher order functions, but it isn’t super clear from the syntax how that all works. Higher order fun

How many 18 year olds graduate from high school and immediately get jobs which allow them to move out on their own? Even though 30% of high school grads don’t go to college, I imagine very few of those move out of their parents house until

I like to think of my manager as working for me, rather than the other way around. I never receive orders from them, nor do I feel I need to impress or “perform” for them. But, they do have go out and find information for me, or do stuff to

Have they announced an estimate of how much a reactor/cost of energy production will be? That’s kind of the most important factor, isn’t it?

Free markets do a really good job of allocating resources most of the time. People are generally very good about making decisions about what clothes to buy, what food to eat, what house to live in, etc. There are some exceptions there, but

There are other things that often get overlooked: 1) sticker price != how much students pay. Pretty much everyone gets a discount. This is designed to get super rich families to pay much more. 2) About half of student debt is incurred from

I don’t know why this is even controversial. American style unions are bad for business, plain and simple. And Amazon is legally required to put the interests of its investors first. Amazon is going to be doing whatever it can to discourage

The universe existed for 14 billion years before you were born, and it’s likely going to exist for some way huger number of years after you die. I expect both experiences (before life and after death) to be the same. Death does seem scary.

Companies going public in droves. Surges in housing construction. What kind of economy is this? The Fed may find itself needing to raise interest rates before the end of the year.

I think it would be cool if there were some sort of currency kids could use in exchange for screen time. Giving real money to kids as a reward has always been a bit iffy. What are they going to spend it on? Candy? Video games? Screen time w

If society decides that people should have a minimum income/minimum quality of life, then the burden of providing that minimum should fall on society as a whole. I don’t think it’s right (or efficient) to place that burden on a certain

There’s been a pretty widespread consensus growing in recent years around buying low cost index funds and holding them for the long run. In crises of the past, people would panic sell, which would create a vicious downward cycle. I wonder i

Not quite the Tenderloin. It’s technically Civic Center. Yes, there’s plenty of homeless around, but that’s just SF, right?
