I appreciate the authors thoughtful review here, but I can’t help but be frustrated by the constant lack of understanding of the core value proposition of framework both in this po…

> Foreign countries have no obligation to admit you within their borders. This is obviously a general statement about any nation, comparing the US to its peers. In the context of t…

Most of the office apps sans excel are basically just the web apps though, office 365 for the most part is cross platform.

>Almost no fleets in the US are running majority CNG.

Most buses are diesel, and are transitioning to either battery electric or hydrogen fuel cell. Almost no fleets in the US are running majority CNG.

I’m well aware of the fact that these types of issues have been a part of the system for a long time, nowhere in my string of comments did I indicate that this was an issue of one …

I see your concern, and taking what you’re asserting here as a given for the purposes of this conversation, I’d agree it needs to be addressed. However, it should be addressed at t…

I must confess that these specific stories are outside my domain of knowledge that I can’t comfortably comment on them specifically. My understanding is that it is fairly common pr…

Upgrading the main board is the last thing on my list for considering framework. Being able to easily make small swaps like ports/batteries/RAM/etc is a much bigger value prop, alo…

I would pose that question back to you, if it isn’t measurable, how are you certain that it is affecting the bottom line?

> Since these departments do not directly drive profits, there's no visible bottom line to make meaningful observations on. “Bottom line” is a reference to costs, it doesn’t matter…

That’s a joint venture with two American manufacturers (and Daimler trucks North America itself was an American company it bought out), it’s not a realistic comparison.

As a former R studio user and current VS code user, I downloaded this… then I realized there’s no WSL support and realized it’ll have to wait. For reference I’m on a small Data Eng…

You can get an ounce of weed for $20 in Oregon right now. For reference, that will get you and your friends absolutely blasted for way more than a single evening.

Apply that reasoning to ICE, it’s not like Toyota/Honda are giving 20 year warranties for their drivetrains. 8 years is standard and implies a substantially longer expected lifetim…

A lot of discussion in this thread about the technical meaning of “autopilot” and its capabilities vs FSD. This is really missing the point. Tesla could have called it “unicorn mod…

Denver home values peaked in May of 2022 and have yet to recover: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DNXRSA

The quote is typically brought up when there isn’t a direct causal relationship between two variables, not when the causality is reversed. e.g. ice cream sales and drownings. In bo…

If causality were transitive the phrase “correlation doesn’t equal causation” wouldn’t exist

The challenge is that it’s very unlikely that race/socioeconomic factors are causal in and of themselves, the reason why you would adjust for those variables is because they are ti…

> Transit systems would rather run empty buses Most transit systems carry dozens of passengers per bus per hour. Fixed route services are more efficient than uber. I’m just having …

What does that project have to do with buses? Have you actually looked at the cost breakdown of California HSR? This isn’t all going to contractors but to land acquisition, feasibi…

Mass transit is wildly unprofitable. Anyone with industry experience would tell you your statement is wildly off the mark, beyond perhaps employees desiring a livable wage. Literal…

The way I’d read that take is that being a “good” VC is about having enough money to spread around and enough networking connections to generate the right leads. After that pretty …
