It sounds like every B2B company. It's only a Ponzi scheme if YC companies are all B2B and primarily sell to each other.

Building new housing doesn’t bring more people to the area. Nobody will stay long without a job and increasing the total number of jobs requires more office and commercial space.

It's more about neighborhood level obstruction in SF. People will elect pro-housing candidates as Mayor and State Senator/Rep, but the local Board of Supervisors (the city council) is controlled by people that will say, "you

I used the Republic Wireless wifi only service for $5/month. Still more expensive than it _needs_ to be, but well worth it.

Yet employment increased 40% from 1990 to 2019[1]. Increasing employment while maintaining a cap on the number homes drives up the value of the homes closest to all those jobs. [1] 2523.4/1798.7 = 1.4 from https://fred.stlou

I highly doubt a lack of demand will be the problem for self driving tech. This survey is wildly different than giving someone the option and seeing if they take it.

I linked to the costs in my comment. For ballot initiatives in 2020 it was between $5.59 and %10.37 per signature. Somewhere around 15% of signatures are invalidated putting the recall effort between $9,615,165 and $17,837,077 for the signa

Hot take: California's recall rules are anti-democratic. It takes 12% of the voters in the last election to to demand a recall. Has there ever been a politician with less than 12% of voters strongly against them? A recall happens whene

I'd love to see a modern type system available as a Lua replacement. A couple things I didn't see skimming the docs: 1. Does it continue the billion dollar mistake (null)? 2. Does it allow type parameters so I can write a generic

Fair point, although I'm not sure I'd call implicit function parameters an OO concept. Regardless, scala3 will make that conversation so much simpler http://dotty.epfl.ch/docs/reference/contextual/ty

imho, it feels like the language is always getting in the way because much of Scala's FP ecosystem is created by abusing language features in ways the author did not intended. For example, when explaining typeclasses in Scala I found e

Linked, but very different regulatory regimes. Specifically, the things discussed in the article don't apply to commercial space and have minimal bearing on restaurant rents that I was responding to.

Wanting to keep things they way they are or go back to the way they once were is a conservative cause. Otoh, progressives pushing to allow change are motivated by environmental and social justice causes.
