What do you think the thousands of bombs Israel is dropping are doing? They've dropped over 7000 bombs according to their own numbers. Is it really hard to believe that each of those only killed 1 person? I think we'll find the de

I stopped using Twitter as soon as Musk bought it precisely for moral reasons. I'm not going to help someone who wrongly accuses people of being pedophiles make more money. There are of course many, many, many other moral reasons to no

You literally said "We are not space constrained." You can move the goalposts all you want, but you're clearly incorrect.

> Facts over fame. You said NY was not space constrained. It's a fact that it is space constrained. Maybe you could squeeze out a bit of density but it is most definitely space constrained.

In that case the threat of prison is also not a deterrent.

I agree, if you see up thread I said SBF should go to prison for life.

> This has already happened. Except it hasn't. Hotel prices are the same today in NY as they were when Airbnb was going full blast. Again, NYC has always had excess hotel inventory. There is no shortage that would effect pricing.

There's no shortage of hotel inventory in NY. The supply is there. Hotel pricing didn't change at all in NY pre/during/post-Airbnb.

by hypeit 3y ago
I seriously doubt hotels will get more expensive as they still have to compete with each other. I would say Airbnb has never had any influence on hotel pricing in NYC. That being said, I tried Airbnb in NY a few times and it was absolutely

I agree that this is a more legitimate reason to put people in prison, but I think it needs to be very selective to be effective. Serial killers need to be taken out of circulation but drug offenders do not imo. Often you turn people into a

It's not a perfect solution but it's also not believable that what's stopping people from committing violence is the law and not the violence itself. If you're willing to commit premeditated violence, you're already

The threat of punishment doesn't stop people from committing violent crime. Even if you totally eliminated the threat of prison, the actual threat of committing violent crime is that someone will retaliate/defend themselves agains

It's the "Return" part of RTO that people have a problem with. Have an office if you like, but don't expect me to go there. I work from home.

None of that has anything to do with "moving fast and breaking things". Take away Musk's welfare and SpaceX and Tesla are out of business within a year.

I'm just pointing out that the only reason Musk is successful is because of government welfare. It has nothing to do with "moving fast and breaking things".

This trend to try to make war more like startups is pretty disgusting. You notice this with the a16z "American Dynamism" war making arm, "move fast and break things" now means create weapons to terrorize people all over
