You said “the competition for good locations is among renters, not landlords.”

This seems to invert the causal chain. People stopped working almost entirely first. That is why we got the benefits. It has also been shown that people behave differently when they know the benefit will end. Beyond these issues, for the CO

I am trying to understand your perspective. How do people buying and selling real estate, the origin of the adage “location, location, location,” not compete on locations?

This is trivially untrue. If you see a large enough, dangerous-looking enough animal in person and up close, you will respond physically without a single thought or idea. If you didn't, evolutionarily you wouldn’t exist. This is becaus

I think this might have been the case early on. Now it seems the reality is more nuanced. Now the default discourages bedsharing, but we know and can witness personally the many positive effects. The warning causes us to be more conscientio

Without getting in to the fact that none of those people operate datacenters, what does that mean to you? You think Trump and Co are doing this as a purely political move to irritate environmentalists?

What are you talking about? This is literally the only mechanism to allow coal-fired plants to avoid sunsetting on schedule. Who are the “relevant technical authorities”?

You start with defaulting to projection and continue with a total lack of a personally integrated worldview.

They are apparently too busy recycling ideas in academic philosophy to make it out to the local church of nihilistic materialism.

This presumes a reality where money and power are the only selection criteria. The idea of service is absent, and it is absent by design. “We live in capitalism, and its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings.”

Which will happen, unless the group paying him accomplished their major goals, can accomplish them some other way, or someone else pays him more to do something else. Contrast this with actual public service.

Yes, but I assumed that the lack of undercutting gossip not is what people are deeming “toxic positivity.”

Toxic positivity in startups means the people not looking at the real issues role play startup while everything crumbles around them. Maybe it works out in big orgs but if it infects the team of a small org your work environment will be rui

Maybe ten years ago, but not since the pandemic. Seattle is still more expensive, but $150k is just buy-a-house and have-a-kid money in Corvallis anymore.

Again this response seems to miss the point. Without VC funding, there is no Facebook. The company is a variant of companies that lose money by pretending to not need profit for many years and can only exist because they are/were VC fu

This is a response that lacks imagination and depth of understanding of capital markets. No, VC money is what enables the entire multi-billion-dollar loss-leading front end effort that creates the network that is sold in an IPO. No one else

This is slightly inaccurate. You might want friend and family content, but engaging content will increase your dwell time and profitability as a user, often against your will.

Maybe just phrasing but free social media isn’t the problem. VC-backed corporations masquerading as public services to gain user networks they can later monetize is the problem.

What you seem to be missing is that your understanding is not true because of the practical realities of operating large internal combustion engines. For example, one tonne of fuel is about 11 MWh. So if you run the calculations, you will s

Sure, but what does this have to do with what I said? You need design and operating margin, and the engine is always running.
