lol so this guys takeaway is “capitalism bad”. even though capitalism is what got him his cushy google job to start with

itt a bunch of cs undergrads thinking they know more about economics then one of the greatest economic minds of our lifetimes

maybe im just a hater but rather take the 1 hour plane ride

wow so right!! those saudi sheikhs must have really good policies too. rich = correct

top down government technology mandates never work. the early adopters and rich california folks all already have EVs. normal people don’t want them

toyota was right and that’s why i got their hybrid vehicle instead of an EV

if you know anything about fresno it’s likely because they’re doing illegal behaviors there

i actually felt way more stressed when i started making more money because it opened up way more possibilities which led to analysis paralysis.

it’s because they’re woke and think it’s sexist to ban that stuff

the article gave exactly zero figures to justify the title. just a few anecdotes

i don’t see anything that makes me think there’s a “mass exodus”

or they can take a 1 hour flight on southwest for like 50 bucks.

lol, or maybe they don’t care about woke virtue signaling

it’s strange to me how little attention this is really getting. you’d think politicians would run on solving the housing affordability crisis when half the country is having their life ruined by it.

so has he accomplished anything big/groundbreaking other than being a child prodigy and having a high iq?

serious question. i only know his name for being smart. not anything specific

they can hire those outdated middle managers from elsewhere

i’ve never taken my phone off mute except by accident

never broke my phone until i moved into a house with all hard floors instead of carpet

with carpet you could drop it from the ceiling and it would be fine

you’d have to compensate me extra to have that name on my resume

seems like the investors are the ones that are getting misled. for the customer, it shouldn’t matter whether the image comes from a human or ai, as long as it suits their business need

actually most deaths are in city intersections not highways..

reason being you can’t really get t-boned on the driver side on a highway

yes but the expected value of having a true positive is infinite because it saves your life. so that seems to outweigh the cost of false positive even if that’s more likely

lol at those internet idiots boosting it. they will fall for anything. see: gamestop/crypto

idk they’re talking like if it’s real then we’ll have all these breakthroughs. so wanted to know if even if it’s real if it may be in feasible economically

so how expensive would this material be to make? i’ve seen everyone say potential uses but i just wanna know if it’s economically feasible

is this material cheap enough to make such a power line economically feasible

“do things that don’t scale” is just a pleasant way of describing enshittification.

ie that things that make ur product good won’t scale

if other life exists, the chances of us being first would be really low given the size and age of the universe

the same govt that made the flawed food pyramid should regulate food lol

exhibit a of why we don’t want socialized medicine. because it justifies this exact thought process

this is really good but let’s not celebrate til the battles over and it’s sustainably back to 2%. well see how it all shakes out in 18 months as a lot of fed tightening is delayed in effects

i think everyone needs to do some reflecting. i certainly need to reconcile why i was so sure that the economy would have to crash from high interest rates in order to stop inflation

one camp seems to want to take credit for inflation falling but ignore the incompetence of it rising in the first place

the second seems to want pretend it’s not coming down when it clearly is.

imo 2 things are undeniable:

1. both transitory (pandemic) and policy errors (overzealous spending and interest rates) caused it in first place.

2. both transitory (base effects of pandemic going away) and policy successes (fed raising rates and congress stopping socialist spending) are causing it to come down

ARP was 1.9 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Rescue_Plan_Act_of_20...

and then he’s some quite a few other things. even his halting student loans is quite costly. and forgiving them would have been a lot more
