Money actually does buy happiness, despite what the wealthy would like you to believe. It is very likely that yes, he would in fact be happier with an extra 20k a year. You don't know he'd have a new mustang; that's just you

Does it override the accelerator? Do you trust Space Karen enough to make that assumption? Tesla vehicles have a lot of software onboard, and they build it like a regular SV tech company. That is frightening to me.

What's awful about this site is because you couched your insult in superficially polite language, dang won't do anything. If I respond to this insult, though, that's not "curious conversation". The moderation on thi

For soft goods, maybe. But for durable goods it is objectively the wrong decision. They ought to know if you have initiated a return, and act on it, but they don't. What percentage of Amazon shoppers make repeated, back-to-back purch

A16Z is a major investor of "Open" "AI" and the techno-optimism movement espouses the belief that technology is inherently good (which is patently false).

Matches exactly my annual experience of trying OpenBSD. It is not misinformation. The FreeBSD handbook, for example, directs the user to manually edit wpa_supplicant.conf. If you want to switch from a static IP to a DHCP lease you need to

Nothing. That's why we saw pg extolling the virtues of reddit and its scumbag CEO last week: gotta drum up interest to have someone else holding the bags when the dust settles.

pg is just trying to use his audience to drum up interest in the reddit IPO. Reddit has nothing to offer investors but Paul needs a return so he's trying to make sure someone else ends up holding the bags.
