They're not being held back by anti-progress haters, they're just straight-up ignoring the environmental agreement they voluntarily signed. When companies have complete disregard for public welfare and dump the cost onto everyone

I fail to see how the percentage of foreign born citizens is a problem in any way.

Americans don’t want economic growth, or don’t want foreigners in the country? I feel like we should be honest - Americans are perfectly comfortable picking and choosing when laws get enforced. We do it all the time. We don’t treat every la

Norms and goalposts aside, what’s the value in adopting a formal policy of harassment against non-criminal, non-violent workers? Congress can debate immigration laws on the books, but this cultural shift seems to be something else entirely.

Maybe Musk should have done that review before firing all of those FAA employees last month. Maybe those jobs were important.

Compared to what, just rolling the dice? SpaceX isn't the only shop that can deliver against requirements. Procurement bids should be transparent and avoid the illusion of conflict. This is the complete opposite of that. It's hard

In the last 50 years, over 1600 murderers have been murdered by the state. It's a question of authority, not justification, and I think that's a much less meaningful distinction. The fact that there's so little sympathy for t

It's animating outwards. The article highlights how they're interfering with FEMA, sending death threats to meteorologists, and generally making things harder for disaster responders.

I feel like The Atlantic has really declined. Every once in a while they'll put out something interesting, but for the most part their entire model appears to be writing for an aging population who is scared of change in the world.

I think this just pushes the unsolved part to the middle. We'll never have an undisputed definition of the real world, as it is. Clear cases like chinese NBA players aren't contested, but ugly social issues with layers of abstract

a16z has halved their yearly rate of investor-led rounds. Are half of their 150 partners still doing "real work?" Of course it would be silly for an outsider without any real knowledge of their complex operations to hazard such a
