Sometimes at work I get slop emails from some VP or other, and the problem isn't the tone or use use of AI per se, it's that 2 sentences of meaningful content is diluted into 3 paragraphs for no discernible reason.

Isn't starlink and its competitors a cheaper way for rural places to get fast internet?

At some point I did some research and the Atacama was suggested to me as the best vantage point on earth for simple skygazing. Definitely on my bucket list.

I have many concerns with this kind of funding model, but I don't think the measurement problem is so serious. Performance incentives in education typically reward improvement of the student cohort relative to how it was performing the previous year, or even use value-added models that use multiple past years to predict the student trajectory.

Additional point: wage increases not uniformly distributed, whereas costs are moreso.

I'm Swiss. My grandfather has stories of family members afflicted with Goitre. What a great read!

I love cities that embrace street food. My home (New York City) is well-regarded for street food, but I found it that it's nothing in comparison to Mexico City where a vendor seems to dot every single street corner.

With our density, New York could have a much richer street foods scene if the permitting and regulations allowed it.

I have put Fukuoka on my travel list.

The law targets short-term rentals generally, not only Airbnb specifically.

From guidelines:

> Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

I am an airbnb host, and exclusively rent out my own apartment on the handful of weeks per year that I'm traveling.

If airbnb was banned, my apartment would be vacant during that time. This would push tourists into hotels, driving up the cost of a hotel room, and furthering the affordability crisis since developers would see more upside in hotels rather than residential development.

wouldn't that reward the seller, and still be potentially costly for OpenAI?

A friend of mine is VP (not partner), and he seems to spend most of his time on deals. Market research, building financial models for a potential LBO, or for the sale of a portfolio company.

From what I understand, the on-the-ground management work after acquisition is outsourced to specialized executives with whom the firm has a relationship. They can bring expertise in a specific industry, and the deal structure pays them with large performance incentives.
