doesn't have to be. Houston is one of the fastest growing cities in the US, and grew at a population increase rate x5 faster than SF, and yet it remains cost effective with far fewer homeless than SF.

on most undeveloped land, you're not allowed to build. In CA, you can go to the exurbs and there will be a tiny plot of land with maybe a couple hundred houses scrunched together like some kind of nazi concentration camp for houses, f

Absolutely! Just imagine the benefit, if the cost of shelter had as much progress as say clothing which is so cheap now, relative to 200 years ago. Also, i think people are so levered up on their homes, they have ever more incentive to kee

Take a look at the top 20 advertisers, by total amount spent. You'll see, it's almost entirely large companies that don't calculate any kind of ROI and thus are extremely insensitive to CPIs. Companies like Pepsi and Nike d

The biggest question isn't even whether its technology is ready. The biggest question is WHY? Why as a consumer, do I want to wear something on my head? especially since, handheld phones are already way more engaging than I need. Ar

I think there's a bigger lesson to learn in all this: Increasing Self sufficiency is really important both on the country level and individual level.

Math on it's own, with concepts like this, can get a bit abstract. I like connecting the concept with something concrete. For example the infinity of time. I once watched a fascinating documentary on the end of the universe, that tal

With a question like that, it could've just as easily been them too. I've seen many more hiring failures on the hiring side of the table, than the other side.

>> A few weeks later on his first day the guy in the Zoom was definitely not the guy I interviewed. What do you mean by this? Like the face is another person? can you go into more detail about "not the guy I interviewed"?

yeah, he definitely misread the line and the editor probably didn't catch it. i mean, checking wikipedia, seems like even the very first router/modem had 300 bit/s and that was in the 60s. probably should have been 28KBps

and why is the rent so high? because land costs are too high (this can be addressed, simply open up more land to be developed until the price drops to near zero). as for building costs? these can come down too, with the right regulations

Absolutely. something that's missing, is opportunities for enrichment. why is there no woodworking classes? or just general purpose learning classes for building stuff like houses or roofs. i'd love to learn how to set up a we

i actually think this is a valid point. Either enforce property right laws correctly or people will turn to vigilanteeism. Just because the property happens to be crypto rather than real estate or your car, doesn't mean it's any

The arguments against EV cars is that they're too expensive. But an E-bike capable of 28mph (and seats 1) can be bought for just 800$ (i know because I bought one and use it to commute to work -> and it is fantastic!). The cheapes
