@mattyglesias Isn’t this just another evidence point for the Housing Theory of Everything?

@tsungxu Sounds fun. I’m in!

@simpsoka “It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government, except all the others that have been tried."

It’s all terrible. I keep thinking about information routing and a single tool that could funnel all of my communications and workspaces into one surface.

@Noahpinion Hi, Serial Groups Treasurer here (aka the 990 signer)!

…meh? It’s the addition of a couple of lines that point to other random or obscure places.

@KennedyOkpara8 This is so cool! What are you designing this for?

[Ryan Stern @ryanstern]

@clairevo My cycle is: see cool New Thing being built (like OpenClaw) > spend weeks trying to build my own special “Me” version > install Real Thing with a better understanding of how to use it > Claude eats Thing > see new Cool New Thing

What a time to be alive

@Vibethinker Hi! These seem interesting, I’m curious about how you implement them but the GitHub link on your site is broken!

[Ryan Stern @ryanstern]

I have no idea what most of what you said (in the long form posts) means, but I’m trying to learn!

@rankyttc pointed out that you didn’t address the point raised, which I agree with. I apologize for taking the snarkiest possible cheap shot for the lolz.

I did take some accounting classes a couple years ago when I was managing some orgs, it was really helpful!

[Ryan Stern @ryanstern]

To all 15 people who actually know me IRL, I’m sorry. This account is about to get active about a lot about stuff you probably won’t care about.

I really like airplanes.

@caitleg We’re showing up to a bazooka fight with moral superiority and chants.

@jamesckane @theworldlabs @sparkjsdev Whaaaaaat I was thinking the other day that someone could do a better version of this … and you just … incredible!

@TheAhmadOsman Been digesting your post about stacks and saw this and now I’m ready to take the plunge. Do you have any tips for actually buying a second-hand 3090 without being ripped off?

@TheAhmadOsman I want to play around with a home lab masquerading as a data center, what do you think about ROMED8-2T, AMD EPYC 7313P, and as many 3090s as I can squeeze out of the wallet?

@KenzieMac_Dev @browserbase Super handy for my move to SF next week, thanks!

[Ryan Stern @ryanstern]

@FedericoNoemie Can confirm this works beautifully.

@joseph_h_garvin Give it GSD.

[John Lettieri @LettieriDC]

The divide in housing policy is between people who want housing to function like a healthy market — with low barriers to entry, real competition, and abundant options for consumers — and people who think the solution to scarcity is tighter regulation, more bottlenecks, and fewer sources of supply.

When the latter camp wins, this is what happens.

@DanielleFong But then who would they sell the Skool subscriptions to?!

[Liz @Lizquidity]

if you want to maximize your outcomes in life you should either act as though you have infinite time or no time at all, and be consistent about it.
