I’ve interacted with a number of rationalists that are just as crazy as Ziz but managed to not implode with the help of money (either lucking into it via family/crypto or a tech job). My personal hot take is that if she’d been cis a number of people would still be alive.
Well-educated young middle class white men, and with politics that generally flow entirely predictably from those demographics. The only real outlier is the openness to HBD/scientific racism stuff.
And big tech market cap is 5x what it was in 2019, yes. I’m not hearing wild overhiring in these numbers, quite the opposite.
We’re going to be well into the Diamond Age before people stop attributing layoffs to ‘Covid overhiring.’
100% of what everyone hates about AI is what other people do with it, so “dont like it, don't use it” is fully unproductive here.
It’s always fascinating to see when “this is hard and expensive to do, so we shouldn’t even try” is considered a compelling argument (housing, health care) vs. when it isn’t (defense, policing, the modern panopticon).
They gave notice, and supplying guns to criminals sounds like an immanent threat to me. I don’t think you’re being rational, here.
executed
He was shot after opening fire, unprovoked, on federal agents performing a search of his home under a lawfully obtained warrant.
Why not just ship him to CECOT? Official acts bro
Reminder for any ‘houses used to be smaller’ rationalizations of home prices that the median homebuyer is now in their late fifties; these are rich people with decades of inflated wealth buying rich people goods, not a shift in preferences by younger homebuyers.
Really? Because in practice DSA candidates seem very focused on bread and butter issues like affordability, housing, and M4A.
Like, Mamdani was the only NY Dem not talking about Israel, your description is seriously baffling.
Given the costs of defending a federal case start at the five figs and the typical naughty tweets style offense nets community service at worst, I’m not so sure.
similarly long sentences
Enrique Tarrio got 22 years for masterminding an attempt to violently overturn the results of a Presidential election.
Daniel Sanchez-Estrada got 30 years for moving some magazines.
The median Jan 6 sentence was 10 months. The shortest sentence for a protestor here was 30 years.
Given the shift in attitudes among the public and especially the Democratic voter base, a candidate’s willingness to go against Israel is a superb proxy for whether they will prioritize voters over donor interests.
It’s also effectively a referendum on the current Iran mess, gas prices, assaults on free speech by the administration, and the Democratic establishment in general (AIPAC is the #1 single-issue lobby by far).
if I replace ‘internet access’ with ‘crack,’ then that sure changes the argument!
Damn dude really makes you think
You also rebalance your principles when you rot your brain with vast quantities of fearmongering slop on your screens, and that’s way more common.
It’s actually the arbitrary whims of police officers
The actual vacancy rate is many times that, as properties are kept off market for a variety of reasons (one of which this tax directly addresses)
If words don’t mean what they mean, absolutely
New Ukraine aid effectively ended with the current administration, if you were unaware
No one thinks non-profit work is ‘high-status.’ People do it because making the world better in some way is more personally motivating than figuring out how to put video ads on refrigerators or whatever.o
That percentage only includes the openly listed units; NYC has a massive shadow inventory of rentable inventory deliberately kept off-market for various reasons.
1 Wall St, for example, kept 85% of its units arbitrarily off market in order to prop up rents, and thus imputed property valuation. This kind of behavior shouldn’t be encouraged by the state and financial system, but guess what we do!
It’s mainly an odd one out because bluechecks have access to monetization and get pushed to the top of replies. It’s basically a wishlist for bad actors.
It’s being dated is actually quite fatal to his thesis, as not only did McDonalds significantly underperform the market over the past few years but mid 2024 was also the exact time their attempt to pivot to higher income brackets stumbled and they were forced to introduce stuff like the $5 meal deal to stop hemorrhaging customers.
As another commenter pointed out, this also works for Christianity. So I doubt it.
It’s less ‘AI guys’ in general and more the politics of a specific subset of AI guys who have regular need of getting popular AI models to do things they’re instructed not to do.
Notice how the demos for these things invariably involve meth, skiddie stuff, and getting the AI to say slurs.

It’s “exemptions from state and local sales tax on materials, services and equipment used in the construction, renovation and equipping of the Project” and that includes a whole lot more than local construction industry stuff. Most of the cost of a data center comes from servers and other hardware, in particular. Also, there’s other tax breaks (like the property tax abatement) that come from working within IDA.
I do agree that local jobs have nothing to do with this decision, because it’s clearly a stupid one if that’s the case.
They’re also getting a property tax abatement until 2044, so nope!
This is 100% a screwing of the taxpayers, and that’s before you consider all the more productive ways that money could be spent.
42 employees and a legion of contractors.
