Trying to tie Google to one single grant doesn’t make sense, nor does associating the market cap of that company to that one grant make sense. Google owes far more to TCP/IP research from DARPA than that particular library grant. But e

“The debt is increasing at a slower rate” isn’t really enough when interest rates are non zero. As the US has to keep rolling its debt to higher interest rates it’s going to continue to escape decline even with significant cuts to spending

“My preferred candidate only one twice” is the hallmark of a “only the federal govt elections matter” midwit. The federal government is the least effective way to lead on regulatory change. California has demonstrated leadership this way re

It has nothing to do with scruples. It’s all about risk and the ability to sell the loan. The bank cannot sell off a $2 million loan that is upside down a million.

Again, you’re just doing it for things that aren’t real rules. Try: - Intentionally violating a safety protocol in a hardware lab - taking company property for yourself - stealing from a vendor - sexually harassing your direct reports What

I don’t think you thought this through. The building is only worth $2 mil if there are people paying rents for the cumulative similar units. A bank will absolutely not give you a loan for $2 mil on a regular residential building unless ther

That’s some stupid shit. Nobody will pay money for it that can’t be supported by rent prices to float the mortgage. Think through stuff more before you post this.

This sounds a bit like a fantasy or the rules you’re breaking are completely irrelevant. “I’m going to do X in 5 days if you don’t respond” gives you absolutely no recourse if you do something that can result in reprimand. About the only pl

You’re just saying that they destroy more units than they build. If that’s the case then they shouldn’t do that. That’s most certainly not an argument against building MORE (as in net positive people capacity) housing.

??? Lots of large cities are building a bunch. Every large city in Texas, Phoenix, Tucson, Salt Lake, etc.

If those buildings are “useless”, how is the developer going to make money on it? That doesn’t pass a basic smell test. Your example about China is pretty bad. They moved most of their population into cities over the past 50 years by massiv

VOTE MOTHERFUCKER Local government politics work. State politics even kinda work. The fact that murder is on your list but not voting is mind boggling.

Not quite, anti gentrification empathy is about relating to poor people. Same with the property tax cap. It’s empathy for people with problems you don’t fully understand the cause of that turns into ham fisted destructive regulation.

Yes, but again, that doesn’t apply to the vast majority of code. My point is that saying you can’t know what code does “in general” is not true. We wouldn’t have code reviews if that were the case.

“greed to succeed” is a simplistic trope. He was already wealthy by the time he went back to fix Apple.

That’s not correct. There is not a general solution to tell what any arbitrary program can do, but most code is boring stuff that is easy to reason about.
