There’s no single answer to why infrastructure is ludicrously expensive in the United States. It’s too easy to delay, so the costs go up. (Especially in California with its multipl…

I do not care. People fuck up all the time. It’s not anyone’s job to bail them out from their actions.

It’s not about picking. It’s about doing it at all. Now you’re active participant in a cover up. They want to delete something, edit something? Fine. The controls are there. Everyo…

This is a trash policy. It's reputation laundering as a service.

Nah. You just set the prize at top 10.

Equity in what property? Equity in what property? honk honk honk

Loans are a payment. These were a percentage of earnings. They are very different.

ISAs were indentured servitude. That's literally what they were. It was the single most scummy concept that Austin came up with and PaulG endorsed.

Can’t help but think making a list of people by karma just encourages karma farming

Are you sure you read the article? The very first sentence of the article is, "Enshittification is the pattern of decreasing quality observed in online services and products[.]" (E…

It reminds me of the old West End Games / Legends description of the game sabacc in Star Wars. Instead of being played with normal paper cards as seen in Solo, the players received…

It's not. The quality stayed the same, even improved. It's run of the mill monopoly pricing.

Your questions are right, but the conspiracy theory is dreadfully wrong. If you want a motivating force for banning, but not actually competing by leveling the field, it’s ideology…

You’re going to have to eliminate first past the post for that to work. Both parties are essentially coallitions. Christian nationalists and big business, and their apologists on o…

I’m honestly surprised it wasn’t Avi Loeb when I saw, “Harvard researcher”

It is that easy. Employee 1 is getting paid below market. That’s why they offer 0.9% equity. Meanwhile, the founders are also getting paid. No one is working for free. One of the f…

Yes. Because you’re literally the same as the founder, but getting waaaay less equity. First employee is always a sucker

I'm sure Elon does get involved. The question is, does he get involved in a constructive way. All signs point to "no". We know this, because of what the Tesla and SpaceX people he …

Yeah but the emails with Elon show that the "open" and "nonprofit" part was always a fucking a scam.

That’s not what happens. What happens is if you don’t need junior people, you eliminate the junior people, and just leave the senior people. The senior people then age out, and now…

You're just making things up. Nothing you've said is true.

I don't know how much this costs, but it's only a meter, 65 kg, and runs on a 110 volt outlet. I'm thinking high ones of thousands of dollars, maybe low tens of thousands. https://…
