It would be nice if cars actually could have user-configurable lights and such but the cost (financially, yes, but in structural change and reliability) aren’t worth it. Plus who cares any more about their car, at least enough to change any defaults? Even laptops get at most a sticker or to and that’s it.

The phones and apps are infinitely customizable, the dimensions though is user generated content. Instagrams have a standard “frame” but within that constraint (and benefiting from it) each subscriber can run free.

I actually agree that the unification of features in Google and FB is somehow wrong but, as the author says, it’s hard to draw a line dispassionately. I feel less so (also wrong but perhaps less so) about Apple, as they aren’t a majority in any market except perhaps tablets, and they make relatively few acquisitions. But because the line is so hard to draw this logic could be wrong too.

On the other hand, measuring crime by enforcement actions is somewhat like saying "crime rates dropped to a record low during The Purge".

That said, piracy seems like a much easier bet for a crime category that hasn't gone down in the last thirty years. Also maybe jaywalking? Not sure if the U.S. distinguishes between crimes and misdemeanours but I can't imagine people have decided to stop doing it.
I did think cold email wasn’t the best example, as that tactic is overused. Though if it is extremely well targeted and personal it could make sense.

However, one thing people don’t do often enough is follow up when the other person has expressed interest. This kind of followup is usually welcome, as inertia and distraction lead to things not happening. This is especially true in commercial context. Eg someone may express strong interest in buying, get busy, drift off, then enthusiastically buy when you ping them a bit later.

That $40k home isn’t so cheap when you make $13k and interest rates were 11-15%.

My entire extended family mostly bailed out of NYC because they bought houses for $10-25k in the 70s and sold for 20x in the late 80s. That profit gave that generation a vault up the ladder and the prime the pump mortgage policy made a few rich.

Details aside, I think it’s good the point that you can (if you’re lucky) proactively engage with the world on your own terms. Anecdotally, as a new first time home owner I’ve been recently rediscovering this fact and it has been so immensely positive for my psyche. It’s like I was playing a game where the world was 99.9% closed off and now I’m part of reality again.

Side note: this experience has also really opened my eyes to the importance and power of affordable home ownership.
try wiring your home with enterprise grade APs ... the stability and performance when multiple devices are connected is vastly superior to anything consumer. And that's not only because the APs are better designed but because most firmware on consumer equipment is total crap based on old outdated sdk. On the other hand enterprise APs spend a lot of time optimising the AP even after launching it.

The amount of value you can obtain by trading something is by definition what it is worth. If nobody is willing to pay you an amount for something, it's not worth that much.

> It is implausible that his net worth reflects his replacement cost.

Why should it? His net worth reflects the expected value of the portion of Facebook that he owns. Why would it have anything to do with his replacement cost?
Except the fine is for the car (and hence the owner), so it still works out.

An acceptable middle ground is for fines to scale with the value of a car at registration. And if you can't afford the fines, then don't lend your expensive car to people who don't know how to park.
There's a better perspective to apply.

How can we better incentivize those with wealth into investing it productively.

Or perhaps, how can we incentivize the wealthy into investing in increasing the rate of growth of the real standard of living for everyone.
City’s $2.5M relief fund depleted within hours
This list links to another one in the same spirit: "How to Trade Money and Time."[1]

To be totally honest, all lists like these make me think of young male friends who went through a distinctive weird phase in their early 20s. For a period of 1-2 years, they would scour books ranging from self-help to moral philosophy in order to build a Simplistic System for Living. Maybe it had to do with getting their first engineer salaries, because a central tenet of my friends' philosophies somehow always ended up being "time and money are interchangeable."

Of course, it is naive to think that just because many things can be bought, all things can be bought, at least reasonably. And as my friends got older and acquired adult responsibilities, families, roles in the local community, they dropped their philosophical regimen and just tuned into typical affluent suburbanites.

But it's that glimmering realization that still strikes me as kind of fascinating to watch: "I can buy... things!... with money! That means I can buy... anything!"

In particular, I'd love to know what exactly the person in the post I linked to was thinking when writing this sentence:

> Spend more to go to events where you will meet exactly the people you want.

Everything that comes to my mind feels either niche or unreliable. An expensive professional conference? You're either already part of that professional community, or going to an event like that is kind of a mixed bag. Paid dating services? Maybe I don't understand that world. A fancy party where you get to mingle with VCs? That's very specific. Are there meetups where the cost of attendance is a significant filter?

My experience in this arena has been that you need serendipity, and it's hard to buy serendipity.

> I'm not sure what you mean by the second sentence but you can't use most appliances made for Europe in America and vice versa. Most electronic appliances depend on the input voltage and supplying 240V can easily cause a fire.

Here in America "electronic appliances" would imply the tech/gadget category like TVs or computers where "electrical appliances" would be the big household equipment. Just to clarify in case that confuses anyone else like it did me, it kind of reverses the meaning of what you're trying to say.

Anyways, at least with relatively modern gear you can generally assume that anything with batteries or USB ports runs off a switch-mode power supply, and all but the cheapest of those will happily accept pretty much anything resembling residential power.

Anything with a large motor or any kind of resistive element (lighting, heating) on the other hand is almost certainly built for a specific variety of electrical service and will likely require modification to accept anything else without releasing the magic smoke.

The stuff in between those categories, well, RTFLabel. Outside of audio and ham radio gear I'd imagine most DC stuff runs on switch mode power supplies these days.
>That argument could be applied to anything

Yeah, it could be applied to anything. Its conclusion is true for everything. Prices will not actually go to zero when everyone sells, unless there is no intrinsic value.
It wasn't literal shit, fortunately, but it was cans. This was in south Georgia and yes. Also my experience in middle Georgia. Assholes in trucks being assholes in trucks. I'm in Colorado now and I've seen a lot of cyclists so I'm planning to test out the roads near my home in the spring. From talking to coworkers the attitude is better here.
I agree in the comparison with running communication wires from a capital intensive / regulation standpoint. I also agree that Google probably has similar chops as Apple for pulling something like this off. So the fact that Google essentially failed does speak to the point of Apple's success not being a sure thing.

A couple of things I would say to this, however:

1. Wired connection to home internet wasn't really in a period of disruption when Google entered the Fiber market. Google didn't really have an angle into the market. I think this was more typical Google arrogance driving this than strategic thinking. In this case, I would actually believe the purpose was to influence other players rather than capture meaningful market share with a unique product offering. It's quite an invisible product.

2. Apple doesn't run the business looking for revenue and margins. Apple looks for opportunities to build a substantially different product that fits Apple's values (privacy, safety, security, design, ease of use, etc). Everything about the car as a product experience, including its distribution is in massive transition right now. On a small level we see this with Tesla on the dealership vs direct to consumer model. On a larger scale we see this with ownership model altogether (ride hailing apps vs. the car in your driveway). The car is about to get rebuilt with microprocessors at the core, including machine learning, literally driving the whole experience.

Anyway, this is just a way of saying, we shouldn't take a financial snapshot of the car market today and try to fit Apple's model for success into it. The only reason they are getting into it is because everything about cars is going to change dramatically over the next 10 years.

Good point. I just edited the comment. Hope it is more clear. The point I'm trying to make is if you are trying to sell $100 million worth of share it is going to be at a lower price then selling $10,000 worth of shares. It seems like critics of IPOs just take the number of shares issued and multiply it by the highest price on the IPO date and say "Look at all the money those bankers left on the table!"
My intuition is that network transfer uses almost no energy, on a marginal basis, because the network links are always on anyway. When you pay for bandwidth, you're paying the amortized costs of building and maintaining the infrastructure.

Rendering a SPA on a client device consumes CPU time, which definitely uses energy proportional to the number of client devices.

Assume the server uses less clock cycles to render than the client--e.g., because of optimized software, hot caches, or tuned hardware.

Therefore rendering on the server should always be more energy efficient than on the client.
Hospital ERs don’t steal blood from young patients who could survive a donation to save patients bleeding out.

Blood has to be donated because inflicting unwanted harm to innocents — even to save a life — is against medical ethics.

How does the COVID response align with those ethics?

People in high risk groups should absolutely self isolate, avoid restaurants, etc — but them needing to do so isn’t a reason to deny a 20 year old a cancer screening or a job to afford food, no.

I also think it’s telling your response to me posting facts from the CDC is an unsourced emotional appeal.

It's a lot easier to make billions when you already have millions (like Elon Musk's dad, who joked about how he had too much money in his safe to be able shut the door when his gemstone mine was doing well).

> I can’t say the former is what we have, but with unions or tight labor market regulation, the later tends to be closer to what you get.

This is a big claim without any evidence. Given the minimum wages in other western countries are proportionally much higher with no negative consequences AFAIK, do you have any evidence that the richest average income country could not have a higher minimum wage?
well they don't know if it's legal because the FBI wont tell them what they're doing - that's the whole point here.

Citizen oversight of government is an important thing in a real democracy, the FOIA is an important part of that. Remember the FBI must not only act legally but also be seen to be acting legally in order to be trusted by the citizens.

The correlation is that for some reason trashy people prefer pit bulls, they don’t train their dogs, and then the breed gets a bad reputation.

Hmm, not really. The cost of labour is actually generally agreed to be the replacement cost of the labour.

As a society, the only thing that we take out of Zuckerberg is his labour, so he shouldn't get anymore than the replacement cost of his labour. In other words, if someone would have done Zuckerberg's work for less compensation - and the GP asserts it is the case - then we as a society lose by having Zuckerberg do it instead of the lower compensated alternative.

In other words, when someone gets paid more than their replacement cost, there is a market inefficiency that causes loss to the vast majority.
Has any other philanthropists in history appeared to care about the world (or part of the world) in a more profound way than Bill and Melinda Gates?

The question I have, though, is how about continuation? I can't find anything on their website about a (hopefully distant) future without Bill and Melinda. Are the covenants such that the organisation can continue and still have the same impact?

And the reason I care is that I always have doubts about the long-term effectiveness of charity contributions. It appears to me that their foundation has a more fundamental long-term impact than other charities. If I had some guarantees about the continuation, I'd be very interested in leaving my worldly possessions to this foundation, when my own time is up.

For reference: I'm in my 50s, have no children, and the thought about donating through my will is getting back to me more and more often.
I'm not sure it's entirely unreasonable on Coinbase's part to disallow margin trading if the margined securities are required to be delivered to the customer's wallet, and not just noted in their account. TD Ameritrade certainly doesn't let you transfer long stock bought on margin off the site - and for good reason! If the market moves against you, TD needs the assurance that they can liquidate your collateral (the stock bought on margin) before your total account value drops below zero - they give you some warning (a margin call) to deposit more funds, if you fall too low in balance, they'll automatically liquidate you. It seems like Coinbase was doing basically the same thing, allowing you to buy on their books but not take the securities off site. The SEC basically says that Coinbase can do that, but then they need to follow the regulations just like stock brokers. If they want to offer margin and not have to comply with regs, then they needed to deliver to their customers (which would allow customers to avoid liquidation / margin calls). So while Coinbase might be being a little disingenuous here, it's more about avoiding regulation than about "actually paying out".

This. Any company listing on the exchange will be required to file an S1 as well as quarterly and annual statements. From that point on, in fact, they will not be allowed to provide deeper diligence to privileged investors - that would be insider trading. The point is, if the company is making the shares available directly to the market, then you don't need to convince underwriters to purchase your shares before you go public.

But why? The true cost of an action is usually independent of personal wealth.

If I keep my car parked in a space and the street sweep needs to miss that spot, the trash that remains has the same negative societal impact whether I'm rich or poor.

If that trash "cost" society $100, why would society subsidize a poor person to park illegally who could only afford to pay $20?
