I think you're in the minority. All Trump had to say was "I'll end wokeism and immigration" and he easily won the election.

You can go to jail for criticizing the government in Russia and Belarus... Not in any of the EU countries. It's sad that you believed whoever sold you this lie.

I think Go, for all its flaws, is an example of a language where mediocre developers can be more successful. Java would be another.

I feel like there’s a minimum developer quality that’s needed when using a language like Clojure, without static typing, and with a wealth of idioms and best practices that need to be followed and libraries that need to be known. Without it

Arrogance is thinking your myopic macro model has the power to fix every housing price crisis in the world. While ignoring every important factor but one.

You might be simply struggling with some cognitive hurdle here, I don't know what it is, and it's hard for me to help you. Maybe try to research the city of Barcelona, its topology, the available space for construction, the proces

In this form, the law can’t be used to draw relevant conclusions about urban planning. It’s also demonstrably false, as the demand and supply never perfectly match.

The highest demand for housing is in central locations where there’s barely any space left for construction. In Europe, cities were beginning to form around these nuclei often more than a thousand years ago. There are other factors to consi

> The law of supply and demand is like the Newton's laws of physics, it works. Do they teach this to you guys in school? Many people religiously believe it. Newtonian physics is a model approximating reality, but it breaks down if y

Is there a point to this story? It appears to be a description of a sequence of events remarkably devoid of any conclusion, climax, conflict, struggle, character development or whatever we usually see in stories.

It's not cynism, people feel offended that there's another way to fund projects that via VC money.

This is one of those instances where I’m simply baffled after reading the first few paragraphs and have to express that immediately. The author did the same thing twice and he didn’t consider as the most important factor that the second tim

I hate it, and I'd consider this a crime akin to theft. It's literally taking advantage of people who don't have the faculty to defend themselves, and capitalising on their human weakness.

The classic business is about producing valuable economic outputs and creating a stable revenue flow from bringing them to market. The modern era post-business is about dipping into everyone’s pockets, by securing cash flow from the stock m

The bulk of his wealth is the Tesla stock. I know that SpaceX produces value. Some of his ventures do. But the image of a genius entrepreneur is way more valuable than any government contract he might get. Remember he was way less crazy bef

You don’t understand the Musk business model. It has been the same for years. His wealth doesn’t come from his products, but from his fanbase buying his stock. The purpose of everything he does is to influence the public opinion to make him

At this point it’s clear that Google either isn’t trying or can’t produce a high quality LLM right now. A bunch of H1Bs at Xitter did it way faster starting at 0, though Jensen probably supplied all the GPUs Musk needed and there were likel

You might be under the impression that I'm trying to argue myself (you mention "dismissing an argument") and employ an ad hominem as a rhetorical tool. Not so! I'm well aware that discussion or debate isn't an effec
