The price of building solar and wind is going down everyday. Natural gas will only continue to increase in price as more and more public pressure mounts towards ending our use of fossil fuels. Coal is already not economically viable without government subsidies. Betting on the cost of fossil fuels staying low is a losing strategy.

You might be on to something, but I gotta say this all sounds vaguely familiar for some reason 🤔

And for whatever reason you think we couldn’t do literally the exact same thing we did with highways to build nationalized rail?

Railroads are land intensive but somehow 27 lane highways aren’t? Also wait until you find out how expensive it is to maintain all of those highways…

Easy, buy a $15,000 dollar bike.

I’m not sure that the National Motorists Association, and organization that thinks drunk driving laws are unfair to motorists and claims to be a “grassroots organization” but refuses to provide any membership statistics or funding sources is a reliable source on the topic of right on red laws.

You can be all of those things and still hold certain reactionary beliefs.

Boy are you going to have a real egg on your face whenever X becomes a successful blogging/dating/banking/investing app \s

For a 700k salary I would 100% take the risk. Don’t change your lifestyle after you get the job and just pocket the extra cash. If you get fired having Netflix on your resume should allow you to find a new position fast enough to come out on top of the deal provided that you are able to make it a few months at Netflix.

If you are fortunate enough to have 3-6 months of expenses in an emergency fund then there is very little downside as long as you are able to maintain the correct headspace.

I’m fairly certain this is showing an exponential trend in CO2 emissions, not a linear trend. The slope changes as a function of time. Linear isn’t really a good fit for the data.

I didn’t go into tech for the money, but after several years of grinding I’m definitely at the point where I’m only still in it for the money. I don’t even want to think about computers outside of work anymore.

The number of code snippets that can be copied and pasted and fit your use-case exactly is almost 0. The number of those code snippets that are well written and would survive code review is even smaller. Stack overflow is good for getting an idea of what libraries exist. Good programmers use it for inspiration and move on to official docs from there (assuming they exist).
