People are critical because "world changer builders" can often be found skirting rules that the rest of us have to play in. You're a self described growth hacker, which likely means you too have probably bent a few rules in your day. That's not a criticism of you - you can do your business how you like - but don't be surprised when a bunch of aspiring hackers/techies get annoyed when they see people who do bend the rules to their gain (financial or otherwise) despite having access to the worlds most prominent investors (read -> resources) and seemingly don't do their homework. It challenges the average joe's assumption about what is right and wrong in the tech startup world.

Like does Lambda not have access to Wilson Sonsini lawyers like the rest of their cohort? Or more plausibly, are they just willfully ignorant towards wanting to make sure they play by every rule (e.g. hire lawyers) that comes into their chosen market? Move fast and break things am I right?

This is a solved problem with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, no? I don't care one bit about the quality of the built-in system.
Mostly I agree with you but you might, if owning, choose to rent out your existing place and move somewhere cheaper?

Also, here in Austin, TX I know people who rent, who own properties that they rent out to others. It seems odd to me.
> it's very common - risc-v also has a 2-instruction compressed subset
>
> Note: "jalr zero, 1b" can also be written as "j 1b", "jalr zero, 0(ra)" can be written as "ret"

`j` and `ret` are so-called "pseudo instructions" [1], not compressed instructions.

Pseudo instructions are just shortcuts used in assembly language to pretend that some common operations really "exist" without the need to type (or display) the corresponding more complex (but actually existing) instructions. `nop` is a common pseudo instruction. RISC-V has no real `nop` instruction, but, instead, the "do nothing instruction" is canonically encoded as `addi x0, x0, 0`. The programmer can write a more understandable `nop`, and the assembler will write instead the binary code equivalent to `addi x0, x0, 0`.

The compressed instruction set (a.k.a "extension C"), instead, is a subset of the full [2] instruction set, in which a restricted combinations of operands are possible. The assembly (human readable) code of the compressed instruction set looks similar to that of the full instruction set (including pseudo instructions), but they are encoded as completely different binary sequences.

I read it as the homes were being purchased by landlords, increasing the supply of rentals
I cannot imagine consuming that much food that quickly... what is this supposed to represent?

- 2 eggs: 150 cal

- 2 bacon strips: 50 cal

- 2 toast slices: 150 cal

- 4oz hash brown: 370 cal

- 8 oz whole milk: 100 cal

Before butter and oil, that's over 800 calories...
Even still, landlords fear legal repercussions so much that they're willing to let a lot slide. When I moved out of my SF apartment, a plant I had had damaged the floor and my landlord was willing to eat the cost provided we moved out swiftly. Replacing the floors probably set him back a couple grand, but evicting tenants could be far more expensive.
Add small talk, banter, and shooting the shit into that. And, maybe, becoming friends or at least more acquainted.

There's a whole breadth of interpersonal communication and humanity that exists outside of the realm of politics, society, and activism. It's self evident, otherwise what do you expect to achieve from talking politics and activism except to be able to talk even more about politics and activism?

> Conflating these things....

If I'm reading you right, then you are very wrong [0]. So much so that the court's own website addresses this:

"If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable."

The idea of free speech is that for it to be free, you MUST allow unpopular speech (otherwise, it's not free!). This is hard to remember when we disagree with someone' actions.

A government agent (the school) taking repercussions against a child (she was 14 at the time) because she expressed frustration about the government should clearly fall into the violation category.

To not be a violation would be have an incalculable chill on free speech across schools impacting roughly 70 million kids (plus their parents).

You are correct on the aggregate, but that doesn't necessarily work when applied to each individual driver.

I'm a pretty attentive and cautious driver. In the 20 years I have been driving I've been in one accident and that was because another driver was attempting to make an illegal left turn, came across two lanes of traffic, and t-boned me. So if self driving vehicles are only doing better than the worst human drivers, I'm going to be pretty hesitant to turn over control. I'd be in favor of that other driver that hit me using an autonomous vehicle though.
Cautiously optimistic. Having had to advocate for folks who were flagged by CAIVRS [1] (from an FHA mortgage foreclosure), I would support such a mechanism if it had robust transparency around its operation and exception handling mechanisms for those caught at the edges of the gears (which CAIRVRS, an existing federal credit and debt default data system, does not).

Any solution must suck less than current government and private credit reporting agency systems.

[1] https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/housing/sfh/caivrs ("The Credit Alert Verification Reporting System (CAIVRS) is a Federal interagency database that contains the following: Delinquent debt information from the Departments of Housing and Urban Development, Agriculture, Education, and Veterans Affairs and the Small Business Administration.")

Sidenote: The above systems is ripe for overhaul by the US Digital Service. It is a pathetically old mainframe system with limited operational hours (and takes federal holidays off), when it could be a PostgreSQL database (or similar relational db) with an API.

I'm in the same boat and pair programming has been a godsend. It's so much easier to think about and work on boring tasks with a colleague. We both have the same problem so it's a good match.
Only a small minority of drivers consider themselves to be in the bottom 50% of drivers, so you might have trouble with that strategy.
> The case will determine whether schools have the right to punish pupils for what they say off-campus.

In the old days, we could separate our "school life" and "off-campus life" into neat little spheres. But these days we live our lives digitally. In this new world the spheres are not as separate as they used to be. The student may have typed the message while off campus, but her classmates may see the message while on-campus. So there is no clear geographic boundaries, and there are no "spheres" really.

The same issue appears when a high school teacher publishes nude pictures of herself. She may have done it while off campus, but the students who see the picture may not see that as a separate sphere.

In the digital world there are no distances. Everyone is everywhere at the same time.

I'm paying $2500/month mortgage for a home valued at $1.1m. For the extra $500/month, I get: mortgage interest tax deduction, a house after 30 years, the freedom to modify my home the way I like, the security of knowing I'm not at the mercy of the landlord.

Personally, I think for the extra $500/month, buying is a better choice than renting; at least for me.

Waymo has given up on ever getting L5 capabilities. They have so much invested they can't just shutter it, and keep it going in hopes it attracts an interesting partnership or purchaser.

They did the same thing with Skybox imaging/Terra Bella.
The issue is that these atrocities were committed more specifically as a result of communism, whereas other attrocities are less closely attributable to capitalism since it has been the majority default throughout history.

EDIT:. I'm not saying what's normal is ok, I'm saying what's common is more likely to falsely correlate with anything. Whereas as the common factor for communism across the board has been a high statistical propensity for mass murder and genocide. This includes the nazi regime I might add (look it up)
Capital gains in the markets I'm familiar with - and this is an international problem - dwarf any rental income.

In Auckland, New Zealand, average capital gains exceed $40,000 per month. Land banking is incredibly lucrative.
Very cool. It's the kind of volunteer gig I could see being involved in.

Thinking back on the records I remember looking at in record stores back in the day, and how few of them made it to CD or streaming services, hopefully the 33 1/3 world has a big back-up effort. One huge problem I can see is the collision between archiving/access and copyright.
"Until it's time to" is a completely arbitrary choice, though. I still am not convinced that it's tremendously important to introduce loops and conditionals before typing symbols into a computer is introduced. Would a class of students introduced to pre-programming seriously outperform a class of students not introduced to pre-programming in the long term? Certainly the short-term gains would be obvious, but I don't think there would be any difference in the long term, and the brilliant students from each group would be roughly equally matched after many years, with the primary differentiating factors being genetic ability and amount and type of studying, like it is in most other subjects.

The ex-Soviets I know speak reverently of the superiority of Soviet mathematics education, which begun much later than American mathematics education, and was far more rigorous.

There's certainly nothing wrong if a child wants to explore pre-programming on their own, but I think there is little to no value in deliberately exposing them to it in a bastardized form in order to "prepare them for what they'll see later".

Also, the assumption that there actually should be an arithmetic -> calculus progression is itself a pernicious issue- reference page 24 of this PDF for an extremely accurate takedown of the American mathematics curriculum: https://www.maa.org/external_archive/devlin/LockhartsLament....

Everyone thinks they're an above-average driver. Half of them must be wrong, so the reliability of any individual's self-assessment is about equal to chance. And even if you're one of the genuinely good drivers—your record certainly sounds excellent—our laws should account for the fact that most drivers can't judge their own skill.
I mean, sure, but how is the app to know your intent when you have yet to connect your brain interface device?

Does this happen to you after the first launch of the app after an update? I find it terribly annoying as well. I would rather see a "New Feature Tips" or something similar as an icon notification that I can choose to review or not. The forced balloons stealing focus absolutely needs to die in a fire.

To add on top of that, isn't gender now a protected class when it comes to employment as well?

If yes, then it would mean that wearing a "there are only 2 genders" tshirt would essentially count as harassing a protected class based on their belonging to that protected class. Which seems like pretty clear grounds for termination, and no "this is just my religion" excuses are going to help here.

Just like wearing a quote from the bible on your tshirt saying that women aren't supposed to hold seniority over men would very certainly get you fired as well, despite that being a part of your religious textbook and you belonging to that protected class.

This is a public school so they are considered a part of (subsidized by) the government. But if it were a private Christian religious school, and she was promoting Satan worship in her out of school TikTok time, would you think the school should be forced to ignore it and let her keep singing in their televised choir?

Hmmm, I'm not sure that's the meaning of free speech. Forcing a private entity to provide an unpaid service is something quite different.

We should be delighted if we have a self driving technology that only kills 1.2 million people a year.

1. That's an incredible amount of saved time, people now get that time back that they use to have to spend driving. We would have eliminated the largest suck of human time on the planet (truck driving). Etc. The main benefit of self driving is not safety.

2. We have a working baseline that we can improve upon to drive that number down, and since computer programs don't have the "new drivers need to learn from scratch" problem, those improvements will stick around approximately forever.
The only source I could find about humans hearing above 20 kHz is this paper reporting that some people could detect tones up to 28 kHz: https://asa.scitation.org/doi/10.1121/1.2761883

But that is for a pure tone under perfect laboratory conditions. Also, they report that the minimum hearing threshold at those frequencies was above 90 dB. So I don't think any human in this planet can actually hear anything above 20 kHz under normal circumstances, much less for music.
That’s not much at all, though I cut the hash browns and up the eggs and bacon.

> he basically thinks of "inhibition" and "rational thought" as valuable (and/or higher value than other qualities, probably given his usual day to day work and education) - but his actual "work" - the thing by which he is remembered and valued - seems to be an attempt to break from those "qualities".

The main difference is your mortgage was likely acquired long before the value reached that level.

"Employees are free to...speak out on whatever horrible injustices are being perpetrated on this group or that . But that's their business, not ours."

So BaseCamp as a company has no view on any horrible injustices as long as they don't hit their bottom line.

Really surprised that a firm that is supposed to be great at marketing seems to have taken no account of how a sizeable subset of their customers would react to this.

That's super cool! I have not gotten anyone else on Matrix, I (and my bridges) am the sole user of the server, and it's my first exposure to the ecosystem. I had basically just set everything up when I saw Beeper's announcement. I'd love to set up an Android VM to host WhatsApp, as that's an appealing part of Beeper's offering. The host phone having to stay Internet connected is a pain.

> Oh, and I love the Matrix sms bridge

Agreed - I totally buy Beeper's testimonials, as I 100% am more willing to have an actual conversation with a text contact if I'm able to type it out on the device of my choosing. Ever since by Blackberry kicked the bucket, I've hated typing on my phone. That said, I've meant to fork the Android app to try and put a bit more feedback in it - if it doesn't work 100% right off the bat it gives roughly no indication of why. Could use a little love, as it's one of the killer bridges!
Investors buy properties and rent them out when they have access to cheap loans. This increases demand on house purchases, but increases supply of rentals.

Home prices go up, rental prices go down.
what’s wrong with that? is it better that people can’t develop their human capital, or is it better if people have a variety of ways to finance education to develop their human capital? The status quo is government student loans to finance education, which are generally NOT dischargeable in bankruptcy, AND must still be paid even if if you didn’t graduate, or get a good job afterwards? Isn’t the income-share agreement at least “less bad”? I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on how better to address the problem? If the government was involved, I personally think the best way would be a graduate tax of x%
