and the fun fact, the other new drug targeting the mid-receptor of acetyl-choline that functions like mu-opioid receptor also has the same exact addiction problems.

you mean its not used for the Paul brothers latest meme coin rug pulls?

What people do not understand about housing crisis:

1. Baby boomers biggest demographic group holding on to homes, that means a huge decrease in housing supply

Read it twice as that is the major obstacle, nothing more nothing less; and notice you cannot solve it by asking retirees to sell that home and downsize as over time they lost purchasing power to do exactly that move!


New construction is physically and logically possible, and not morally objectionable. It's just a regulatory impasse, because people with money and time to lobby against new construction are mostly the same people whose investment in realty would be negatively affected by new construction and lowering prices. California is especially badly affected.

What people forget is that the real monopoly is in how the AOSP hardware OEM contract is written....

Remember how hard Amazon had it to attempt an Android fork?

I was due to OEM SOC access being locked out due to those contracts....

Any open source mobile OS attempting to complete with AOSP needs access to mobile OEM soc providers not touched by AOSP contracts and currently that is somewhat hard.


One of the common myths is...

If repairing auto at shop costs $1000 one should op out to spend $300 in parts and own labor.....

Paying for the wrong utility makes you remain poor as the down car repair has a very low utility to you earning that higher wage while the shop repairs your car.

It would only make high value utility sense if you did that several times and then open your own car repair shop as business owner.

Warren Buffet implies this obliquely in his writing about the choices he has made.


That only makes sense if you have the opportunity to make more money than you'd be paying the mechanic with the time you spent fixing the car. I'd venture to say that's true less often than not. Even if you day job makes more per hour than you're saving by repairing the car, it doesn't necessarily mean you can just choose to book more hours on the job. To make it more concrete, let's use the given example. Let's say the repair is $300 in parts, and $700 in labor. Let's call the shop rate $100/hour, to be conservative. So in order for it to make sense for me financially, I have to a) have a job that makes at least $100/hour and b) have the choice to work an extra 7 hours.


that was not the kicker....it was the ending comment...

Better learn how to learn as we are not training(or is that paying) you to learn...


The problem I see is the VC involvement...

VCs operate from the goal of xtreme high user market share as the problem..

As frameworks get better, the audience using the IDE changes...

Both are misaligned before even meeting and it will get worse once VC money control is added.

My bias, I am a flutter framework user and MS VSCode user.


This reads like a developer trying to make a GUI be less effective....kind of like some maligned GIT client and other dev production tools...

For those that need a translation....

1. For front end people, its code and design both...i.e. two jobs combining.

2. For backend, its again combining two jobs dev and server engineer...

In short words look to what two jobs will combine that you can leverage with tools that allow you to combine those two jobs in the first place. For example, front end frameworks generally allow us to combine front end dev with designer.
