Give it some time to get situated in the marketplace. There are a ton of "middleware" companies that are going to get absolutely crushed by openai when businesses commit.

Paying a bribe should not get you in trouble. The city forces their hand. One stroke of their pen and your design costs increase by tens of thousands under some minor pretext. If y…

When fed lowers rates there will be another massive boom, so prepare for it!

Of course landlords want to make money. Some make a lot and some make a little. But only recently has "profit-making" become a dirty word.

It's well established that in high demand areas like CA regulations are excessively burdensome. But go ahead and increase regulations, maybe I can retire earlier as a result! More …

Bankruptcy is nothing to be ashamed about although it's preferable to avoid it. The world changes a lot and it's trivial to get caught in situations where it is unavoidable. Bankru…

Yes. A lot of the social issues we have today point to needed overhauls of many institutions.

When will people learn that more taxes make things more expensive? It's like people actually want to have world of obscenely rich and obscenely poor people... with nothing in the m…

In a place like SF it’s really quite fun to commute to the office. I can easily see cities not having much WFH. Elsewhere, the commute just wrecks your soul. Glad to hear SF bounci…

I wonder if we could build a huge floating "island of plants" in the great pacific garbage patch?

This comes up so much it's like a pathological condition. If the voting population want's more houses the solution is not to tax people out of their homes - that just swaps house o…

Sounds like you would love China.

This line of thinking makes me fearful for the future.

Maybe if the commute was on the clock, people would be more willing to do it.

This, exactly. We need far more (and larger) protected wildlife areas.

I am very interested in using tech to help the ocean. Does anyone have ideas for technical solutions to this?

I must be getting old, this argument is so tired. W could save X if just Y % stopped doing Z. Stop micromanaging people, bring freedom back. /sigh

Damn. I wanted to believe!
