    I am completely at a loss to what your referring to then. I know of eviction moratoriums that occurred after covid. It was sold as a way to avoid a massive surge in displaced peopl…

    I mean your are assuming that with free housing you retain a right to live where you want to live. I am NOT saying we should build this free housing in one area and stick people th…

    Do you think this tool will be used again for less urgent issues than Covid was?

    As someone from a Western country, what replaces it? How do you buy a car on a loan for example? It's not perfect but unlike both your examples it isn't based on things that could …

    Would you consider not loading facebook and google for logged in users? I understand there is a difference but your selling privacy.

    This is sound logic and probably be the case but I wonder if this effect will be less than what we have seen in the past because of the reduced TDP of the M1 processors in general.…

    > 65% This just isn't what the tweet shows? Unless you are counting AdSense as sponsors? That doesn't seems to make sense. You seem to be saying LTT is beholden to their sponsors? …

    Yeah, I didn't even consider this. But at what point does orbital solar energy start to make sense? I wonder what the $/kg before we can just send up solar panels that last 100+ ye…

    Your math seems off, 1 ton is 1000kg, but your point still stands at $200 million plus the overhead of containment and transport to starship. This is far more economical that I exp…

    I didn't account for the decreased gravity over time as you chip away at the planet. Woops!

    I can't tell if this is sacarstic or not but I decided to do the math. Mass of earth: 5.972 × 10^24 kg Launch capacity per year: 15,500 tons Years to get rid of earth: 385,290,322,…

    Do you have to reveal who you are to Apple to use an airtag though? Or with decent operational security can you purchase and activate airtags in an untraceable way? If you can that…

    This is exactly the kind of tool I was hoping to find. Thank you! I wasn't really expecting to be having novel ideas here and as usual someone built something close and someone on …

    Your comment made me sad to read. I don't really feel like that's a fair take at all. I love libraries and the experience they provide. These memories are core to who I am today. F…

    This looks really cool and is exactly along the lines of what I was thinking. I will explore it later after work. Thank you for linking this.

    I couldn't agree more. I have 0 desire to replace or limit libraries. They are some of few places where you can feel the progress of humanity in a physical space. I just want to al…

    Sure, I don't go to libraries to find anything about code or even computers. I go to find old fantasy series and enjoy the physicality of the library. I would say the internet is a…

    I completely agree. I don't think you can fully replicate this experience remotely. I am just trying to imagine what you need to do to get as close as possible. Maybe I make this a…

    I think you are highlighting great ways to impress upon a kid the: "visceral experience of the vastness." Which is the core of what I want. That's a really good way to put it by th…

    I get what your saying. But on the other hand we are just talking about celebrating this. I feel like those sub-communities are probably more aware of the impact HIV than the avera…

    It's important to remember that any community can spread it. Needle sharing among intravenous drug users comes to mind. However, you can't deny that HIV has struck a generational b…
