The reality is that college is a business decision. You pay in years of your life and quite possibly loans as large as mortgages, so you better not be another highly educated barista when you're done.

Just go test drive a Tesla. No one can properly explain the driving experience.

You don't have to buy it and it costs you nothing. The sales people aren't sleazy either.

Just try it so you can speak from experience.

>the property tax is a form of wealth tax...

I stopped reading after that. That's when it became obvious the author has valued ideology over understanding.

Property taxes affect renters just as much as home owners...unless you think your rent only goes up because your landloard is greedy.

Its private property. I don't like it either, but I wouldn't like intrusive laws either.

Supposedly I live in much above average. But I thought it was below average and nothing seem3d out of the ordinary.

Harnesses are the new Javascript web framework hotness.

Have you noticed there haven't been any new web frameworks in a while?

That's been replaced by harnesses.

The mean is created using 29 years of data. Why those particular 29 years? IDK.

But I tend to dismiss findings like this that don't explain why they chose a very specific dates as the baseline.

This seems a bit dramatic.

I don't have much love for this guy. He donated millions to the EFF to the point where CL owned the EFF.

When CL bullied people who lightly scraped their site with CFAA threats, the EFF would not help. Ultimately, they ended up on the wrong side of history.

While Musk has created hundreds of thousands of jobs and God knows how many millionaires, Newmark complains about him while having only created around 50 jobs. 50.

Instead of building something else and employing more people he watches TV and feeds pigeons.

Bravo. He's basically a beatnik who won the lottery.

This is more true than people realize. My wife and I got full body MRI scans.

Both showed "possible" medical issues. My though was "Great, I have a baseline, in two years I'll get another one and compare".

My wife on the other hand got a bit obsessed about her results and had what was probably an unnecessary procedure to biopsy something, which turned out to be benign.

I suppose you could argue that another way...better safe than sorry...but the stress that is caused by known uncertainty vs unknown uncertainty can be too much.

I don't let the AI make any choices. I have a lot of instructions and sample code for it to follow. It is basically a glorified code generator at that point.

I wonder if that is even possible since the whole point of the motor is an imbalance of magnetic forces.

From the outer Cape it sounded like a long low rumble. I tought it was the wind making an unusual noise.

I don't think compacting often is good for saving money. It generates more output tokens and then the input is no longer from cache, which is priced differently...typically very differently.
