You’re gonna have to show the math for $1 trillion in economic development in 5-10 years for a route that’s already served by air and road options in a state with stagnant population and declining usage of existing public transit. We’re 27

The decline in legal immigration is almost entirely due to USCIS’s drastically decreased productivity during covid. Illegal immigration is still at all-time highs in the US. Why only consider legal immigration? Those industries you mentione

Meh, Amex denied my chargeback when StubHub was illegally refusing refunds for events canceled due to covid. I don’t think there is any card out there that hasn’t gotten much tougher on chargebacks recently due to both the covid shitshow an

If AI is really going to make people more productive without causing unemployment why can’t the biggest investors in AI make their own employees productive enough to not need to lay them off? Microsoft invested $10 billion in OpenAI simulta

Gotta admire the cognitive dissonance when four of the biggest corporate investors in AI are doing mass layoffs.

It’s a lot easier to envision OpenAI having 100X upside from its current valuation than Google.

Somewhat ironic that a company that’s entire existence was based on the idea of giving developers great tools no longer values giving its own developers great tools. Only a matter of time before this new attitude towards developers shows up

Even if you own 51% of the company you're disposable. The company itself is disposable. The CFO at a lot of Zoom's customers is asking why are we paying so much for Zoom when Microsoft will give us Teams for "free". It d

The copyright on Mickey Mouse is due to expire next year, so there will definitely be some attempts at copyright "reform" this year.

Yeah Satya’s note was bad for several reasons, not the least of which is he sent it right after attending a private Sting concert. Starting to wonder if rather than being an exceptional leader, he just benefitted from following Steve Ballme

When are they supposed to charge if they're operating during the day and powering the grid at night?

by ralph84 4y ago
School buses seem like possibly the only real use case here, since they have a very seasonal usage pattern. For other commercial vehicles, the operators buy them to operate, not sit around and power the grid. When are they envisioned to be

The ATIS recording is here: https://archive.liveatc.net/kjfk/KJFK-D-ATIS-Jan-14-2023-013... They were landing 4R and 4L, departing 4L and 31L at KE. American 106 ended up departing 31L full length since that's whe

Yep. Both the intersection American 106 was supposed to take (cross 31L at K) and the intersection they took (cross 4L at J) have runway entrance lights. According to https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/rwsl

Agreed. It's quite bemusing how so many people are now copyright maximalists because they somehow think Microsoft will be hurt in such a world.

Presumably the SBFs and CZs of the world, who then use the pre-ICO shitcoins as reserves on their balance sheet.

Only problem is the Biden admin decided to ignore Congress and say nah, forget about that requirement, we'll get to it later. And if you lease the car, just forget about it completely.

Sorry your wife suffers from this. I just wouldn't be so confident that highly paid specialists have time to keep up on the latest research in their field. In my experience most do not. They're highly paid because they see a lot o

A term of art is a word or phrase whose use or meaning is specific to a particular field of endeavor. In this case apparently historians mean something specific when they say "space" and there's a bunch of scholarship on it.

Heh, same. It took me several paragraphs to get oriented as to what the author means by "space". Apparently it's a term of art for historians.

Yes margins on the core flying are pathetically low. Planes are $50 million+ pieces of capital equipment and high utilization is the only way to make the numbers work. Southwest is legendary for their quick turns which keep utilization high

The US mostly abandoned its involvement in Central America and all it did was provide an opening for drug cartels to take over, which has led to a huge influx of migrants. Sorry but your theory just isn't supported by the facts in evid

Looking at Google Maps it appears several other buildings in the area also straddle the border. The reporter mentioned an insurance dispute in passing, but it would be interesting to have more details on how it all works from a legal perspe

Agreed. I was here through both of those periods and the bottom wasn't in until the prevailing mood in the Bay Area was that tech was over, or at least the Bay Area's dominance of tech was over. We're nowhere near that level

Before they get too far along they should consider changing the name. Airtable would probably have a good trademark infringement case that it’s confusingly similar.

Companies host data a lot more valuable than source code in the cloud. Developers like to think we’re the center of the business, but access to a company’s Salesforce or NetSuite instance is a lot more economically valuable than access to a
