Could that have been the case a few hundred year ago as well? Artificial light, even candles and oil/wood, was fairly expensive till 200 or so years ago.

> The pool of VC funds has exploded as the playbook became democratized

To combine this with another comment in this thread - there is an abundance of funds from dumb money sources as sovereign wealth funds and others started investing in VC.

but LPs being dumb is acceptable. The job of the VC firm is to funnel that dumb money into smarter investments.

and AWU is at least internally not very well regarded by other employees.

Is there a publicly documented (or guesstimated) timeline for Starship? What comes next?

How would that even make sense at Amazon's scale? A company that makes $500B in revenue is somehow beholden to some random commercial real estate company that owns a few billion in commercial real estate.

That makes very little economic sense.

Why is GPS not great at height? If you know your location is x,y and you have an elevation map, you can map x,y to an altitude z, right?

For anyone else who was confused and thought this was happening today. It's actually in 12 days:

The sixth flight test of Starship is targeted to launch as early as Monday, November 18.

The 30-minute launch window will open at 4:00 p.m. CT

maybe I should call it petty theft instead of theft.

Literally noone in America cares about this enough to swing their vote.

Let's see

- Decriminalization of theft (now overturned via prop 36 in California) - Wealth redistribution via wealth taxes, unrealized gains taxes etc (Kamala policy proposal) - Support for anarchist movements (support for Jihadist elements, 2020 riots etc)

Hate to break it to you, but that's the GOP at this point.

Most of them are geriatric at this point and will naturally be purged.

Sure,but this isn't Europe and neither is Europe a gold standard of any sort.

The actual report says that 21000 foreign workers have died in Saudi Arabia (of all causes) since 2017, in a population of 5M+ so youe first guess is probably right.

Sure but don't forget that most Muslim countries are living in the 14th century culturally. We're talking about a country that only gave women the right to drive cars in 2015.

Clickbait Newsweek decides to make shit up.

That's been the trend at many companies recently. Cut a middle layer and consolidate.

What are they moving to, though? I can't imagine that Teams is any better.

I was last there 10+ years ago, but the lake in the center of the city (https://maps.app.goo.gl/yVzEBmEbc8Qu6rC98) had a few parks around it and was pleasant to walk around.

Hate to nitpick, but Mumbai didn't exist in those times - it was a group of islands and not a major port.

Major trading ports of India at the time were Muziris, Goa, Surat etc.

Niall Hare, a 63-year-old headteacher in Dublin, explains the importance of bike maintenance and philosophy in Irish culture while discussing what students do during their "transition year" (TY), which is the optional fourth year of the Irish secondary school system. After completing a three-year junior cycle, students can either go straight into the two-year senior cycle or take a transition year, seen as a sort of gap year.

Transition year has no set curriculum but includes mandatory subjects like Irish, English, maths, and PE for two hours a week, along with work experience and career guidance. Schools are free to design the rest of the program. Hare's TY program for 2024-25 includes subjects like Chinese, folklore, law, and workshops on consent and relationships. Students explore a variety of activities, from arts and coding to aviation and boxing.

Although not graded, participation is required. Notable Irish actors Paul Mescal and Cillian Murphy both discovered their love for acting during TY. The year provides opportunities for students to explore new interests and develop life skills. Kacey, a current student, talks about overcoming her fear of driving, while others highlight learning practical skills like preparing a CV and using a bus timetable.

TY, which began as a pilot program in 1974 and was rolled out nationally in 1994, now has 99% of schools offering it, and nearly 80% of students participate. It was the brainchild of Richard Burke, who wanted to create a space where students could take a break from the academic grind and explore the arts. The program has evolved to include work experience, reflecting changes in market expectations.

Despite some criticism, including complaints about its cost and accessibility, TY is widely regarded as a positive experience. Studies suggest TY participants score higher on their Leaving Certificate exams. The program allows students to discover new passions, build confidence, and gain life skills, benefiting both students and teachers. However, challenges remain in ensuring equitable access for all students, especially those from lower-income families.

I believe (and it's been ~4 years since I left Google) that ITA is one of the data sources, but there are now direct API connections with some providers.
