The point is still valid even at that price.

What is an example of this?

I took his point to be: some people will always get incredible work done no matter what. Enable them to still get paid well. For everyone else just keep them around for when there is stuff that has to be done, and when there isn’t (most of the time?), let them spin around on their chairs/compensate accordingly.

What makes RDS better than Aurora?

Why is that better?

minimum wage is a state issue , so i’m not sure why the south matters.

If it was that simple then this problem would be solved. Clearly most voters (in your opinion) want a higher minimum wage, UBI, and greater corporate taxation. If elected representatives do what their voters want, why are we discussing this?

Sure you do. You could buy shares.

It won’t give you much influence in isolation, but I challenge you to show more influence over your elected representatives.

But you trust governments to have that morality?

Why? Anyone who invests based on such obviously wrong numbers shouldn’t be protected from themselves.

Most (all?) countries do this. Consumer banking services will offer free transfers as a loss leader.

The word Censorship isn’t in the original. It got added.

That’s a powerful diplomatic argument, and I’m shocked Putin hasn’t reconsidered now you’ve made it.

Do you think their leaders at the time were fine with this?

But people have bought EVs despite the lack of public chargers, both in Australia and all over the world, so that’s clearly not the full story.

Why do Australians think EV chargers should be provided by government? Petrol stations aren’t.

lol we certainly have lobbying in Australia, they just apparently keep a lower profile than American lobbyists do.

My toddler has a similar back story (flight hype -> loves planes). This inspired me to finally upgrade my iOS.

Those seem like different goals. Don’t we need both?

People on this technology forum seem skeptical that technology can improve or get cheaper.

Yeah I think that’s what Starfighter did. And we are discussing how it failed, so…

That happens too but I think the underlying reasons are simpler.

Everyone involved in hiring should read “The Case Against Education” by Caplan.

The problem with credentialism is that lots of people with degrees from reputable universities can’t code.

Similarly lots of people with significant industry experience… also can’t code.

My anecdotal observation is the opposite. It seems like since Covid, demand to live in big cities has gone up much faster than before. You can mostly see / feel this in property prices.

It’s definitely not an exact science! As a developer I feel the same, and as we matured it did slowly get easier to be more precise about what’s worth building.

No. Feel free to ignore it.

The specific decision point of “what code are we going to write next week” happens in a betting table: https://basecamp.com/shapeup/2.2-chapter-08

No it’s not. You haven’t refuted the claim that starting a restaurant requires momey. You just said having money makes you bad at running a restaurant. Which is silly.

That doesn’t follow at all. There’s no reason you can’t be good at both.
