SpaceX is tanking? Big news. Tesla is still the most valuable automaker, so it has a ways to go.
I hate him too, but let’s not live in fantasy.

I wish most/all laws worked this way. We should be aiming for incremental changes over time instead of big bang ones that get undone after the next election.
Hell, for minimum wage though, it should always change based on cost of living as it continues to increase over time.
My sister is a civil engineer in PA and is familiar with this situation. She told me that basically these municipalities did not take care of their pipes, refused to raise any money for them, then, when they got old enough that the situation became critical, sold it off. Now this company comes along, has to make required fixes to the pipes, and has to raise the money to do so. The private company gets to be the bad guy, while the local governments, who neglected the pipes for a decade or more, don’t get heat.
All this said, if they weren’t allowed to sell it to a private company, there would be no “get out of jail free” card and maybe they would have pushed harder to take care of them damn pipes.
Point is, I don’t think it’s quite as simple as it looks on the surface.
I almost forgot about that… Shudder no less efficient way to do something.
Lol what? I don't think they would appreciate being executed, and would gladly take the status quo over being "out of their misery" 🙄
Nah, it's based on the appraised value, which for taxes is always only a fraction of the market value and doesn't change unless the city does a new appraisal. For instance my house is worth over $200k and the appraised value is something like $70k I'm not an outlier, everyone's house is appraised like this.
She was super vocal during the 2020 campaign but once elected she went silent. What the hell happened?
Great reads! Thanks for posting.
I think it would be neat if, as something gained popularity, more and more of it were re-written in optimized assembly. I mainly work in .NET, which performs fine for what it is, but there are some libraries like Dapper (which is a micro-ORM) which are written in IL, which is incredibly difficult to do but results in it being insanely fast compared to what you could do in purely managed .NET. I'm sure if it were written in assembly it would be an order of magnitude faster than that.
That could be avoided by using on prem properly, too. People are very capable of making bad infrastructure whether on prem or cloud.
I think it’s basically saying companies need to pay more if they want people in-office. Which makes sense to me. If you want someone to spend time and money to commute they need to compensate for that. You can’t ask someone who has been WFH to start coming in without some incentive or else you’re basically cutting their pay.
That said, many people won’t switch from WFH to in-office for any amount of money.
I agree with your overall sentiment, except for Bernie. No more geriatrics should be running. These guys are statistically a little lucky to be alive.
