For an article arguing the election broke on car ownership as a defining line, I would imagine there was a statistic like: n% of car owners voted for candidate A m% of non-car owners voted for candidate B It doesn't even bother explain

I guess I don't really care. I'm price sensitive, and I have options. So its pretty easy for them to pick up I'm price sensitive as I often check a route, check back 5 minutes later and ghost. So they can infer I'm going

I think the whole point is to not be homeless. Sure, if you want to be homeless, big expensive cities might be your best bet. And a lot of people that want this lifestyle migrate to these cities for this reason.

Pretty much anything is better than sleeping on the street. Why would you choose to let your last money run out and then you're stuck somewhere where if you have no reasonable way to afford rent on a low paying job. For instance, move

Maybe for some, but how do you see it playing out? Suppose you're living in LA or NYC, and you lose your job, get evicted (takes a few months and you can't land on your feet by then) and then move all your stuff to a shopping cart

I'm very skeptical of systems that claim to help with trading signals. Primarily because if you had a system, then you would use it yourself. Trading is pretty much a zero sum game especially when it comes to signals. If you had a prof

Cash is the least concern. I listened to a podcast about the history of Microsoft and there were times where Gates said "at least it was only money" or something to that effect. Microsoft floundered an entire decade on mobile and

Maybe an unpopular answer but a soul. Agency. This materialist world view is very dangerous and could lead to terrible things if you believe numbers in a computer and a human being are equivalent.

Because they're numbers represented in digital form. In inference, you're doing simple math with those numbers. So what's alive, the numbers? Maybe the silicon holding the numbers? What if we print them out? Does the book bec

So in your world model, whoever Ajit Pai sides with is the worst group? Or is it just the group that's willing to pay the most (and I guess Ajit Pai is the most expensive lobbyist)? Because the article quotes from groups like Spectrum

From the article: > The fight puts Pai at odds with the cable industry that cheered his many deregulatory actions when he led the FCC. How does this fit into your world model? He's fighting against the groups he was a shill for in h

Often these types of articles have a take they want the reader to adopt. In the past it was simple, we need net neutrality to save the internet and Ajit Pai is an industry plant aimed to killing net neutrality. Cable companies love him. You

This is great. I like the pattern of integrating LLMs into specific applications. Is there something similar to figma? There are a lot of tools to convert figma into code, but is there a reverse? Say you have code already and you neglected

As the article discusses, the government owns virtually every dollar of profit Fannie/Freddie. I don't see how tanking the private shares (worthless in the current state) would benefit Trump or his cronies. Those shares are alread

I don't think its a good idea but I think it's in the long run interest of the government/taxpayer to divest out of Fannie/Freddie. The current situation makes that impossible, so they'll have to take some kind of h
