Signals are a common term for this. Someone else invented the term not the people who wrote this.

Another movie that does this is Tenet. There is this massive action set piece at the end, people are literally fighting for the fate of the world. Then you have people running around, shooting at nothing.

Are massive set pieces with hundreds of extras just not economically feasible anymore?

You are looking at this with hindsight bias and are assuming that for some reason the future will remain the same as the past. There are no fundamental reasons why ios and android development occur with two different ui frameworks in two different languages.

With low interest rates companies will not be able to justify paying 3x to maintain 3 different apps when they could theoretically just pay 1x for one app that works everywhere

Ios and android development as they exist today will die once governments mandate then end of the app store monopolies.

Ugh, you are right but then someone comes and uses this to rationalize not including things like map, filter and reduce in a language because they are supposedly too complicated and you can just do it with a for loop

Calculate how much more you need to earn in CA to make $75k.

Im assuming higher federal taxes than you are.

Half of Sf is transplants, they arent living close to family

> The average worker in SF is getting paid 10%+ more than the average worker in FL or TX

10pct more is not enough to cover the difference. Also if you are good you can make sf salary anywhere in places where the cost of food is a third of the price

I dont think gatekeeping rust is necessary. The nice thing about rust is that people that are not experts can now attempt to create high performance low level software and the worst case scenario is that its slow due to unnecessary copying.

Markets are supposedly efficient because people pick to buy companies that are good value for the profits they generate and sell companies if they become less valuable.

If people are buying index funds automatically in retirement accounts they are not making this judgement and thus all stocks in index funds are selling at a premium because of this automatic buying pressure. If enough people do this there is potential for the stocks in index funds to be overvalued.

There are probably a million different causes for depression and im convinced for all but the most extreme cases that usage of anti depressants is a mistake.

I think viewing depression as a disease instead of a symptom is a mistake. So many people eat food completely devoid of nutrition, stay indoors all day, have erratic sleep schedules, drink absurd amounts of alcohol and smoke weed all day. Why are we giving these people antidepressants when what they need is to go outside and walk and to take a multivitamin?

Its not contradictory when you realize his rhetoric is about individual rights and not bot rights…

Twitter literally has hookers and other sex workers on the platform. If advertisers really cared about brand safety they would have already left.

Sleep is one of the most important bodily functions, disrupting it because of silly reasons such as not waking up in light is ridiculous
