We are trying! Cars get ever more fuel efficient, there's more investment in public transit than ever, Britain is interested in nuclearizing again, carbon offsets are widely purcha…

It can and does happen at the local shopping mall, where middle schoolers too young to drive a car play hooky and go to the mall. "Car centric urban design" is the catch all ill an…

We do, they're called parks and playgrounds - and no one went there even in yesteryear. Religious spaces have some extra spice, as does the local mall where middle schoolers do ran…

The bit about ad revenue was actually specifically called out here as probably not the story. The interesting part to me is the overall positive sentiment towards tech in general, …

It's the same justice system. The unfortunate fact is that as the prosecutor in the OP lays out, it is not State's job to make sure every single legal advantage is pressed to the f…

Yes, because the entire reason competition code was adopted in the first place is people graduating with prestigious titles that could not write code.

He's bringing out the men made of straw because there's a culture in many places, including my work, of YAGNI. We did not properly federate many of our services and aystems, it is …

It's often not about learning more, the techniques and methods in Casey Muratori's streams are often very well understood and even taught in school. Dismissing people as just being…

The corporate sausage making machine is merely only doing what it's customers want, for the price they'll pay, nothing more, nothing less. A lot of these are good impulses but also…

Pushing back on the "late capitalism" vibe, the market cares about certain things over others because people have a limited amount of everything and wish to spend it on things they…

They make their money selling ads against product that they are incapable of creating, because aren't CallMeKhris or Linus or whoever.

But he spoke the truth

Money needs to have a return, even internally. Saying "we can afford it" buys you goodwill, but the same way employer goodwill towards employees shifts with the wind, so does consu…

Do we know if CoPilot X was trained on AGPL, not just GPL? Additionally I'm not sure if AGPL does anything. I suspect the ethics and such of licensing when large fractions of work …

They've only "cornered" access to LEO because they vastly outperform the competition in almost every conceivable category. That should get you a short term monopoly.

Then that means that office politics optimizers were able to make Boeing, Lockheed, and NASA look like jokers at something they'd been doing for decades. If I thought this about Sp…

The right way to think about this is that right now, "health insurance" is a subscription service to Healthcare, and is treated like one. The problem is that due to highly variable…

This is just patently false. There are lots of major metros in the US that are plenty urban and walkable. SFBA is desirable because Google is there and willing to pay any amount of…

"The man who literally built AWS has no idea how to run a software company because I'm mad about RTO."

Not really. If they had all the leverage pay would be zero and hours would be infinite.
