I understand the situation. Another of Plaid's investors is Goldman Sachs. I naively assumed that Plaid's ability to build their product was likely based on access to private APIs available to them based on their relationships and

I am sure I will be called naive, but this is shocking to me. I assumed that Plaid was integrating with the banks and not doing this sort of thing because of the people associated with Plaid. Their seed round included Spark Capital and Go

Interesting. I wonder if software has already been developed and is just waiting for launch. Just imagine him doing a daily livestream on his own social platform. Ugh. It’s also rumored that he’s fleeing to Scotland ahead of the inauguratio

Someone in another comment pointed out that Trump can release press releases or call a press conference if he chooses, or give a speech from the Oval Office. Let’s explore that. If he uses the old media tools and goes on national TV to star

Fascinating. This quote from Toynbee in the section on decay is is particularly eerie given current events in the United States: First the Dominant Minority attempts to hold by force - against all right and reason - a position of inherited

Fits my 2020 experience. At the start of 2020 this described perfectly my view of Trump. At the start of 2021 it describes perfectly my view of everyone.

Sure, maybe, and we could spin out dozens of scenarios and approaches that could have been better or worse. I think one phrase from your comment highlights the entire problem though: “enforce no action.” You can’t enforce a society wide shu

This sounds the “why Tesla will never work argument.” Selling rich people what they want as a starting place to pioneer new technology is a good strategy even if it doesn’t feel good to you.

And because age does cause your eyesight to deteriorate and you need to accumulate age to accumulate time spent in front of screen, people think it must be all the time in front of the screen.

Yes, we’re in the midst of some ghastly thrashing that seems unrecoverable. A paranoid person might think that what we are doing to ourselves is being encouraged by some sort of outside force that has a lot to gain if the US implodes. But t

It’s already difficult to do business with entities in California if you live in another state. I no longer take contracts with CA based companies after a run in with the FTB. Not worth it.

Yes and what’s described in the comment is what I wanted after the 2016 election! I thought the electoral college should have selected someone else, I thought Trump should not have been sworn in to office, and I wanted him removed on the fi

But at least it’s small? I mean, one dead laptop is the equivalent of many lifetimes worth of AirPods in terms of waste. Of all the things that could be disposable this seems like the least concerning. A Tesla contains orders of magnitudes

I usually use two squares of toilet paper per wipe. Occasionally I’ll use three, sometimes accidentally and sometimes because I need three. Whenever I use three I wonder to myself how that will appear when the numbers are crunched. Then I r

I draw my strength from the yellow sun. Over the last two weeks my home has tilted ever farther from it. I feel the familiar ebbing of the light. I’ve gotten better at mitigating it over the years. Vitamin D supplementation, light box thera

I agree. Earlier this year I muted and blocked on Twitter until there was almost nothing left in my feed. And then the ugliness grew up again and I ignored it. Very interestingly late last week my Twitter feed suddenly went from being domin

I can only skim the article at the moment. At the risk of commenting without RTA: perhaps this is about how you use it? My wife uses Facebook for coordinating things in the community, coordinating kids play dates, and for just browsing very

If this were applied across the entire US or even a large state, it would be very interesting and useful to track city responsiveness to the request to fix these issues. You might infer that those that address the problem against the incent
