@Austen Minneapolis city council about to FAFO... even their mayor attempted to veto this misguided legislation.

I predict a quick reversal and a bunch of woke city council electeds getting voted out next election...

Forcing Elon to divest X would be the single biggest win for advocates of online censorship. The Biden administration will make this a key priority in a second term.

Important to note Minneapolis didn’t enforce a $15/hr minimum wage.

It enforced a minimum of $1.40 per mile and $0.51 per minute (WAY higher than $15/hr), forced the companies to pay 80% of the cost of any canceled ride, and a lot more.

Had fun recording an @InfiniteL88ps chat with @arjunkhemani about dropping out of High School to help build @naval's @getairchat project; the problems with compulsory education killing natural curiosity, that there are no "final" ideas and our need for better explanations + more

@LeeHepner I don’t think you make enough money, so I’m going to make it that you make no money at all

High five buddy, you really solved the problem

[Siqi Chen @blader]

@LeeHepner What exactly do you think will happen to wages when you legislate away opportunities for work?

[Jamie Quint @jamiequint]

@LeeHepner Maybe people should get to decide for themselves what wages they're willing to work for or not work for, rather than the state dictating that for them.

I’m willing to support a TikTok ban if TikTok is found guilty of espionage and the remedy is narrowly tailored. But no hard proof has been given, and the remedy explicitly seeks to “cover” almost all content-sharing apps & websites “subject to direction of” a foreign adversary.

The more time you spend interacting with the highest levels of government the more you realize the emperor truly wears no clothes.

There are a bunch of people in positions of power milling around.

But when you look for the adults in the room they’re simply not there.

[Patrick Fox @RealCynicalFox]

The notion that every nation is not responsible first and foremost for its own security & prosperity, and can instead fob that duty off on the US in perpetuity, is a major contributing factor to the current threat facing the post Cold War order today. Especially in Europe.

@tobi The legacy media has a negative bias about almost everything

[tobi lutke @tobi]

I find the media’s takes on SpaceX’s achievement utterly outrageous. It’s straight out of Ayn Rand novels. What is the game here? Usually incentives explain these things but there isn’t even a follow the money type motive that I can detect? It’s just tribalism? nihilism?

Raw transcripts are surprisingly hard to read.

The messiness of everyday speech is easy to parse in audio, but poison on the page.

24 day DEXA scan changes (2/19-3/14)

⬆️ 3.7lbs muscle gain
⬇️ 3.7lbs fat loss
⬇️ 4.4% decreased abdominal fat
⬇️ 33% reduction in visceral fat (2.1lbs ➡️ 1.4, goal is zero)

last two metrics important markers of metabolic health

imagine seeing this and not feeling incredible wonder about the scale of the universe

@naval 😂 that makes no sense. Does it?
