I'd love to hear from some actual trans people and activists on what solutions they propose to this. I think most people want to find a spot for trans people to compete, but the current division of Men's and Women's sports do

Housing as an investment is in direct contention with affordable housing. If housing is going up faster than inflation, it will forever be more and more out of reach. We need massive zoning reform, cut back on NIMBY enabling policies, and m

Don't feed the [patent] trolls. I used this feature, and will miss it, but would rather Google not give in to abuse of the patent system. On the otherhand, I will no longer consider Sonos products. Be better Sonos. Bluesound seems like

Yeah I could see in a few year Discord/Slack having "chat" channels, voice channels, and "forum" channels. Maybe even add in wikis, or dashboards.

I think it's more saying that there is a line where making it easier and easier for tenants to defend themselves has effects on the total number of houses available for rent, and at a certain point, may reduce the number of housed peop

One fairly specialized developer is a lot harder to replace then a generic level 30 kubernetes wizard. You lose that developer as a company and the ramp up time for a replacement could be >year. In addition, more standardized approaches

I think that you could have made that case if we had a vaccine in April 2020, but by now US has 30-50% of its population with natural immunity. Additionally, the spike protein is the least likely mutation to enable escaping, as it both has

No one's is claiming the US is anywhere near perfect, but the question is do we let China win or the US. And if that question doesn't have an obvious answer to you, you just haven't been paying attention. We have more freedom

It's draws an interesting question though, at what point, if ever, does an AI system move beyond the scope of a tool and into the scope of an assistant? I don't think we are anywhere near that yet, but it's conceivable that w

The same problem of the house price to income ratio shows there is as much of a housing shortage in rural America as well. "Solving" housing by moving all high CoL people to rural America is just going to price out all those with

No, vacancy rates are at near all time lows. Any reputable study will show we have a housing shortage. Even in rural America, house prices are skyrocketing. We need to build more, ideally near transit hubs as to minimize the effect on infra

Many artificial dyes use CYMK dye colors to build up to the final color when they are mixed by our eyes. Natural dyes will often truly be that color or a unique combination of non-CYMK colors. The result of this is non pure white light will

Please show me that evidence, because I have seen otherwise, and a basic understanding of supply and demand leads to the default assumption that increased supply will lower costs. The ONLY way to make housing affordable to make market rate

SF being the tech capital of the world is going to have a very high amount of workers who are now remote. This creates a unique opportunity to build more housing that can use the existing now less utilized infrastructure. The then higher ra

No, California needs to treat it like the medical health crisis it is. If a 8 year old kid is on the streets, we don't focus on how to make it nicer to live on the street for them, we put them in long term care (foster care). It's

A quick search (haha) shows that google pulls in $182/year per user and 90% of that is from advertising. So yes google makes a lot more than people think from ads. I also suspect that is heavily lopsided, with certain demographic being

Parasitic landlords is just as fair as parasitic mask hoarders. Land is a limited resource and you are abusing your capital to extract rent. Then you use your votes to make it harder to build (zoning laws) or more expensive for the next per
