This isn't perscription drugs, this is information? To answer your question directly I don't have strong feelings about it. I would prefer if they were freely accessible, other than maybe things like antibiotics that have clear ex

One of the multitude of things that makes me frustrated about the medical establishment in the US is how they insist on gatekeeping test results.

If that's true, why do leadership, VCs, and eventually either the acquiring company or the public markets keep falling for it then? As the old adage goes: "Don't hate the player, hate the game?" To actually respond: this

This comment comes across a little dismissive, but this was my exact thought. What if the people doing this were of another socioeconomic class and were drinking malt liquor? Or even if not imbibing, just smoking a black and mild. Very inte

It would only take 38% of Republicans in the Senate to vote with Democrats to remove Trump from office to get him out of politics for good. Defying the literal law on a matter of national security certainly qualifies as treason, or at least

It's not self-defeating, it's a commentary. I've built up a reflex to leave any sort of overstimulatory atmosphere. I don't watch short form videos and leave any page that causes high levels of stimulation (Temu's s

I’ve actually come to the conclusion that a laggier worse phone display is a feature, not a bug. Quicker response times = more addictive with little to no upside in productivity.

When a mobile web page uses apple pay, does it also give 30% to apple? If not, what’s the difference between it and an app?

I don’t think the tox report showed fentanyl. Looks like Xanax and Cocaine. https://nypost.com/2024/05/30/us-news/cause-of-death-reveale...

An accidental drug overdose on campus at UC Berkeley. One wonders if his mom having terminal cancer was a factor in his overdoing it. And I cannot imagine how news like that would hit a mother with cancer, when the only thing left for her i

Funding poorly run institutions isn’t the way. Make it appealing for smart grads, like the type that apply for YC. That involves removing red tape and shutting down the AMA.

All you get to decide is where in the cycle you want to deposit their carbon. It doesn’t really matter either way. Whatever helps you grieve is the best way.

Wow what a poorly written headline. I thought it said that the FCC had voted to limit the speed of prison internet.

I don’t feel like what I read between the lines of her life and the tone of this article are terribly in line.

Yes, you’re absolutely right. I wasn’t aware of the drama and conflict behind this and read his press release in a vacuum. It didn’t add anything and only added more negativity to this conflict.

AI is acting as a catalyst here to get people into flame war mode. The issue here is the existence of a terminal feature that can send your commands to a 3rd party server. It could have no AI whatsoever; it is reasonable to not want this in

If you're worried about the future timestamp being at a specific local time (say 10 AM on a future date), it's actually better to store a naive time and a location than the IANA timezone name. Then, if a state decides to stop doin

Why do you call that artificial? Isn’t the market clearing amount of housing when both long and short term needs are met? Are you against all tourism or travel?

You are likely correct. This is because the Bay Area is a highly desirable place to live and will continue to get more so as climate change gets worse but the Bay Area stays gorgeous. Crime is a problem to solve in any Western urban area an

Way to miss the forest for the trees. The licenses thing is a proxy for what we’re measuring, which is real life socialization. You’ll see the same trends in Japan, where far fewer people drive than in America. I’d imagine you’d see them in

It’s not salary, $5B would be a one time 10% payment. Just a guess for the max they could extract. If you want to talk the actual bill, it seems to be for a 2.5% tax on investment returns, so actually pretty small.

What else to expect from the state of Elizabeth Warren. While I agree that university endowments are getting absurd, I also doubt that the government will make better use of them. What’s $5B to the Massachusetts government? Almost nothing -

Race and gender based IQ research is having its moment on Twitter. Larry Summers just got appointed to the board of OpenAI. Is society ready to have this conversation? Probably not.

Thank you for the color and the insight. It’s really helpful to remind myself how lucky we are to live in western democracies, a relatively new invention, and how 99% of humans who have ever lived have had no agency in the rules of the worl
