I don't know, it seems pretty libertarian for a county/township to nullify state law when it deems the law unnecessary or bad. Different branches of libertarianism may disagree but in the end it's all about localism, no?

This articulated for me one of my biggest frustrations with traditional 1:1s with managers I've had throughout my career: by these people I want to be coached, not mentored.

Most 1:1s have been driven by me, at the explicit behest of the manager. "I'm here for you" and "this is your time" are/were common phrases. I found this particularly annoying as a new grad when I really didn't know what I didn't know and just wasn't getting a lot of mileage out of those conversations.

What do public EV markets have to do with private PaaS VC investments?

You would have a case if Vercel has no revenue, or no chance of becoming profitable. I don't know their numbers, and I'm sure the multiple is high, but relating this to EVs is a non-sequitur.

How do you feel about GCP?

"Selling support" is one way to make money from OpenSource, but a) it's not clear that Wasmer is even doing that, and b) there's loads of other ways too (hosting, open core, freemium, etc).

> FB revenue is going to be up in Q3, not down, would bet $10k on that.

Why?

Seems like a programming language that optimizes for "codes well with Copilot" could be fairly successful. Things like memory safety, human readability, verifiability, etc.

You could also have some kind of AI-driven testing/verification program -- Copilot and <other program> could go back and forth multiple times until the program is deemed correct and returned to the user.

Interested in links or books on this if you know any good ones. Don't you still have to use soil?

Texas checking in -- the dirt in my backyard is full of clay and totally unsuitable for growing anything other than grass and weeds. Many places are like this.

Is it possible to invest in the LTSE itself?

Tbf, he made the first version of Replit as an open source project before joining Codecademy, and it's likely that retaining ownership of that project was part of his employment contract.

Part of it is FB’s company culture — generally the ethos has been to enable engineers, technical precedent be damned, and to never say no to a product idea. It is really impressive and a major part of why FB can move so fast despite being a very large corporation.

What good is a prediction without accountability?

I love that this prediction has a clear deadline. Now, what skin in the game does the UN have? Will they pay back any government spending that occurs as a result of this prediction if the 1.5C rise does not occur?

Then the statement is worthless! If any country is every covered in water at any point in the earth's future then it can be proved "correct".

The negative is not even true -- no one can guarantee that no countries will ever be covered in water at any point in the future, even if we had presumably gotten the rising temperatures "under control" twenty years ago.
