I like Elestio for managing devops of self-hosting. I don't want to do backups, monitor and fork git repositories for updates, etc. It's non-trivial. My time is scarce. However, I'…

Mine shuts off because of conditions regularly. It's very annoying. FSD is a better driver than me 99% of the time.

Where does all of the money go? New York City is spending nearly $30,000 per student this year.

You sound like a great parent doing right by your daughter. She's lucky to have you. The point of school is to learn to think + learn to face adversity & failure....

Why not just let them be a permanent liability on the business? Are you worried about claims in bankruptcy court or something?

"_* Permanent liability* _" Are you insane? You have the cash in-hand. The customer has made an interest-free loan to you. You're ACTIVELY trying to * DISCOURAGE* positive cashflow…

Move to France. You'd find their backwards, less competitive economy to your liking.

Brilliant response. Economic ignorance encountered here can be stupefying.

This is an idiotic argument that ignores/sidesteps the main point of the parent. No matter what you think of China's economy, it is leaps and bounds better than what it was 20 year…

Is the answer cars, cheap land, big houses?

By your logic, pharmaceutical companies are exploiting cancer patients. Patients with horrible, painful, fatal diseases are certainly miserable. Pharmaceutical companies are certai…

I agree with everything you're saying (except the part about hording) perhaps.... My expectation is that donors would be paid based on expected value, which is how (I believe), the…
