Cracking up at this quote

"Why doesn't _EVERYONE_ move where broadband is!"

Except, uhhhhhhhhhhh, they can't.

Silicon Valley moment from gp

If they're going to push to arrest peaceful marijuana users and ruin their lives with a drug charge then the people involved in this raid should see the inside of a cell at least as long as someone up on possession because what the raid plotters have done is more corrosive to a free society than anyone smoking weed at a concert.

I feel older every day.

Capitalism has _everything_ to do with this as while the _amount_ of land may not be growing, the economic system does _nothing_ to cap the price of this essential commodity. The only cap on the price of land is the amount someone is willing to pay for it.

To say that the advantages of location are not capital (or equivalent to capital) is just ignorant. There are plenty of pieces of land that act just like capital - access to natural resources, access to a coastline, fertile for farming, or in a location where a toll road or similar could be employed.

It becomes very difficult for someone to build and own a sapphire mine if they don't have the capital to buy the land that has the sapphires in it!

As the romantic partner of someone going through a degenerative disorder and as someone who watched my grandmother be consumed by dementia I can say that it's something most people develop over time instead of being born good at.

If a hang nail is bad enough to make you withdraw then that means you don't have a lot of experience of getting sick to the point where you had to push through as it hasn't happened a lot. Over the course of the 14 years I've had with my partner (started year 15 last month!) I've seen how she's had to adapt to remain involved and communicative - and a lot of days, that's a struggle for her that she puts herself through to stay connected to the people she loves.

tl;dr: It's an adaptation, and I'm glad that you've not had to build that adaptation.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures of the animals you sponsored

It would be surprising if you had a prior Fall 24 batch....

Wait....

All I can glean from this is that joining a YC Batch gives you access to a time machine.

Every time one of these cases comes up, everyone wants to blame "bad apples in the legal department", but newsflash, the legal department aren't a bunch of cowboys that just run wild and do whatever they want - they often require the approval of someone higher up in the company to commence action.

Stop this. Stop letting companies you like off the hook by compartmentalizing the things you don't like to "the guys in the legal department".
