@wminshew humans are fantastic local optimizers, but global optimization requires much different skill set and risk profile 4/4

@AleResnik some exceptions though. the lab meat ban is pretty dumb; people can just not buy lab meat if they don't want it. https://t.co/xeCYtgAtMp

BREAKING: Governor Ron DeSantis signs legislation to ban lab-grown meat in Florida.

the current Stripe tax threshold logic doesn't take into account your product code (for example personal use SaaS is not taxable in any of the US states alerting for me on my Stripe tax dashboard); so I wouldn't use it that way. But if I could manually enable Managed Payments by tax location (at the country level is fine) that would be awesome.

@jrfarr Would love to be able to turn it on selectively by tax location

@levelsio i've wondered if shipping labels have the same issue

governors eligible for the presidency will treat national polls and party standing as part of their reward signal

This isn’t confusing. Politicians largely don’t care about impact and don’t make reasoned, principled decisions; they pick a party and then run polls to determine their stances. What we call a “politician” is a crowdsourced AI algorithm fed by polling data and played by an actor.

[Patrick Renschler @renschler]

all else equal, I’d prefer a state governor who’s ineligible to run for president

Sometimes I wish I could start life over. I’d be so much better at it the second time around!

But I’m 41. I probably *do* get another whole copy of my life!

No time like the present to be the best version of yourself yet.

@haridigresses CA FTB can also just claw money from your bank account without notice, happened to my parents. Took multiple years to fight it; they eventually won but was a huge pain.

@sknthla On present trends, SFBay will, I think, go down as case study in one of greatest squanderings of economic opportunity in history.

Incredible

One of the reasons California has failed to conduct adequate wildfire mitigation is b/c of NEPA-weaponizing lawfare from misguided environmental extremists who don't understand forest management

37% of lawsuits are from a single nonprofit ... which is just one woman

Five people struggling with addiction in San Francisco cost the city $4 million because they’ve been transported by ambulance at least 1,781 times over the past five years.

This is not sustainable.
