My take is, Sam and Greg are not the executives they want people to think they are. This was recognized, and they got upset because of this, and things shook out this way.

I haven't worked for Sam, and expect most people commenting on him haven't either, so they only have his interviews and his public commentary to judge him by. From that commentary he seems extremely ... vanilla? But that is probab

Well, if you're an alcoholic you have to wait until you're sober until you can drive, I guess. Lol. IDK. It is a poor analogy IMO, kind of more "absurdist" and doesn't totally convey the point properly.

Just because something has upsides or some benefits (or a single benefit) doesn't mean it is good overall.

You know, your post reads like "if that's true, why did this one thing happen once to me?" It's not extremely convincing.

Often it's really hard to integrate something like this vs. writing it yourself. An example I recently had was, I was handed a UI kit from a product team. Ok, fine. We only wanted to use about 10% of the kit - basic interface elements.

Because so far it has only worked on trivial tasks? That isn't denial: it's stating fact. Business process workflow software is popular, but have massive downsides. These softwares consume massive amount of resources. One dev beco

I agree - largely. ChatGPT cannot program for me (it fails on anything that is a bit more complicated than very-common problems). It cannot write a good algo for me (unless the algo is a very standard one, if so, why do I need it to write i

> The government saying that things are fine while a majority of Americans lost 25% of their purchasing power (per your numbers) is pure gaslighting. Where did the government say that?

Yah GPT cannot create a form that has that kind of UX, I promise. Try it.

Commercial RE is a real buyer's market.

It's about a buck on $100 extra for food (over regular inflation) - so not much more, but significant.

If you look at 2018-2019 circulars for your supermarket (you can usually find archives online for big chains) and compare them to today, it's easy to see that prices did increase ~30%, but not 100% like it "feels like" they i

well, it's bad if you bought at $1m.

Well, sure. If you buy the exact same thing and cherry pick - some things are up 100% (or even more!). But not on average.

Sure, if it's as good as you say! Let's make a deal :)

Well, sure. OK. But it isn't how it comes across IMO.

I have no clue how this relates to your comment regarding population growth and decline.

There is a real pro-natalist push: https://nationalpost.com/feature/pronatalism-reborn

I would love to see an example of your code, please!

by roflyear 3y ago
Pro-natalists, maybe? Seems like they have been getting more popular.

Ok, but it's not really useful to talk about extreme outliers. Median sales px of a home in the US is 431,000.

You can sell your house yourself, though? You don't need to use a realtor.

That isn't how I read it.

That's not an example.

> they'll go through a population boom and bust cycle and it might be another 50 years until their next one There are zero (as far as I am aware of) examples of this outcome. Care to share any?

There's always a better solution, but I always think of the haircut you take at car dealerships: it could be a lot worse for selling your house. Like, you're getting 20-40% under the value of your car at the dealership. 6% isn&#x2
