Yup. I still think on the whole Elon has done more good than harm in the long term, but man is he trying hard to make it zero sum. I think the ideal for society would be for him to lose leadership over those companies and just disconnect f

No, not even in spirit. Epigenetics is not an 'alternative' to evolution, but rather a complement.

I had no idea who Dan Preston was until Tan complained about him, but given > In 2022, Preston proposed a ballot measure to tax vacant housing in San Francisco. I think I might just love the guy. Thanks for the awareness campaign Garry!

Yeah cloudflare is pretty sketchy too imo. They present as transparent but they've had some actions over the years that signal otherwise. Heck, pretty much every performance blog post they hype up buries the caveats, kinda reminiscen

Feel ya. Disposal is a pain, and if you mess up, it's a trip to home Depot to get some chemicals to clean your asphalt. That was fun when my apartment had me parking in a shared garage... Oil is simple and easy enough that I just get

Same. I'm lucky enough to live in a walkable + bikeable area, and we love to do weekend getaways/road trips, so the majority of my miles are actually for the long distance case. If I had more money I would have gone for the porch

100%. Plug in hybrids really do seem to be the best of both worlds, at the cost of some weight+space+complexity. I wish they would go a step further and develop some kind of modular engine insert where you could put a gas engine in your fr

I'm right with you on this. It just makes so much sense to me. It makes sense imo, given any large system in distributed programming needs to be coherent to work. AFAIK coherence is entanglement. So in order for the system to have
