It’s also just good politics. There are a vocal group of voters that are in favor of this, so it gets those people on his side. And no reason not to (politically), as most people just don’t care about this topic, or if they do and disagree

Not up in the hills or on oceanside lots on the Pacific Ocean next to the PCH. I’m no builder, but my sense is, even if the zoning were relaxed, you are at best building like a quadplex. Four apartments are not going to equal an $80M home.

Not in some of these areas. This was some of the best real estate in the country. $80M homes burned down.

It was for charity, not for his own pocket: "Elon bet me $1 million dollars (to be given to charity)"

They are still the most mature platform. Pulley seems to be catching up and is decent, but Carta has just been around longer.

What’s your issue with Armstrong? First I’ve heard anyone say he is despised?

by orionsbelt 2y ago
Yup. For example, Hacker News, or pre-Elon Twitter. I'm a fan of Elon and Twitter, but post-Elon, my Twitter feed is far more filled with culture war nonsense, political flamebait, etc.

The Apple Intelligence features are opt in. I’d suggest upgrading to Sequoia and just keeping those off if that’s what you are concerned about.

Gastropreisis may be a rare side effect, but is serious and appears to a be a real risk.

I'm not going to disagree with you about the media sucking, but for what it's worth, I think every side thinks that. I am pro-Israel and have the same feelings about other stories that were rushed, not vetted, wrong, and never apo

I’ve literally seen them chase me and avoid others I am with. I also do react and get welts/itchy, but they 100% are also chasing me more than others.

Sure, you can have transfers back to the poor.

Is it not the case that as BMI increases the risk increases? My BMI is not healthy - and I don’t deny that makes me subject to increased risk - but I would still think morbidly obese is far worse than obese which is worse than overweight, i

Is it not clearly obesity? Why everyone is obese is perhaps unclear (although portion sizes, ultra processed foods, screen time and sedentary lives, etc, all seem to likely play a clear role), but I’d be surprised if the level of obesity th

$70k is a living wage in Los Angeles; he his homeless by choice. To be clear, I’m not saying he is not underpaid. He might need a roommate and to live in a crappy apartment and not in Westwood to make it workable, which does not seem fair f

Again, I wasn’t suggesting that one needs to be personally or directly affected to speak out about an issue. I was suggesting that it’s harder to have a reasoned debate on an issue when you are directly affected — emotions just run too high

I didn’t say it’s wrong for you to give a damn - I said the opposite, that you can certainly give a damn and support pro abortion policies. But you said it was a direct threat to YOUR health — is it really? Are you a poor woman in a red st

by orionsbelt 2y ago
I’d be curious (although you don’t have to answer and we can leave it rhetorical if you prefer) - how much is your health really directly at risk here? Are you a woman in a red state planning to have children soon? Or are you in a blue stat

I don't know if OpenAI has a moat or if they will succeed long term against competitors, and certainly the valuation is high, but pointing to the lack of GPT-5 already is laughable. The speed of improvements - including GPT 4o1 preview

Maybe she thinks the _world_ is a few short years away from building world-changing AGI, not just limited to OpenAI, and she wants to compete and do her own thing (and easily raise $1B like Ilya).

Who is using a pager or walkie talking in 2024? I will admit there was maybe a few bystanders standing too close to a Hezbollah member, but how many non-Hezbollah members do you think really had one of these pagers? Keep in mind Israel also

Depends on the half life and concentrations. Daily adderal RX for ADHD or studying. Coke at night to party. Xanax at end of night to come down from the uppers and try to sleep. That mix is pretty common.

Trump is so obviously going to win, due largely to the Democrats self inflicted fuckups. So if he is going to win anyway, why not support him and try to shift his policies in a favorable way?

It’s like saying you can’t smoke in your apartment, you have to smoke outside. Sure, you are probably still addicted and will go outside way too much to smoke, but that’s also probably a great incremental tool to work on getting rid of your
