@benadrylfan69 Maybe because many haven't seen a heatwave like this in 200 years?

I might start an A/C company...

@jayair In comparison @zero__ms is groundbraking

[Stepan @stepanhilbert]

@jayair Is there something Supabase does *really* well?

[Stepan @stepanhilbert]

@jordwalke I feel you. @solid_js has all the answers if you're brave to walk alone.

@JEUninformed Those who live close to some 🌳 are generally fine too, yours truly included.

@davidsenra Musk, Dell, Jobs - all sold their companies.

Arguably, you're still 66% right 😅

@PalmerLuckey The best bang for the buck? Educate people on living healthy lives. Europe will eventually adapt to the rising temperatures, even though it'll take longer than we like.

[Stepan @stepanhilbert]

@PalmerLuckey I'm in the EU heatwave.
Yes, it's definitely super-hard for many people.

So, should installing AC everywhere in EU be the #1 priority?

I'm not so sure. Why? ⬇️

[Stepan @stepanhilbert]

@PalmerLuckey There will be other high-stress events throughout the year. The autumn flu period is often just as deadly as this heat wave. These events tend to impact the same groups of people.

[Stepan @stepanhilbert]

@PalmerLuckey Smartly built homes without A/C fare quite well. Worst is being in a crowded city, without trees and rivers, near street level. If the rich start using AC, they'll make heat worse for the rest.

[Stepan @stepanhilbert]

@PalmerLuckey The heatwave is killing the most vulnerable. They will be last in line to get A/C.

[Stepan @stepanhilbert]

@PalmerLuckey Europe's power grid is nowhere near ready for mass A/C rollout.

[Stepan @stepanhilbert]

@james406 much shorter and you get to see Canberra!

This is insane. Czechia used to be similar but recently ESOP rules got much better - taxed on sale. (Thanks to lobbying by https://t.co/ALE8slVLxH)

And, it's tax regime can be great for founders and investors:
If you hold private company shares for over 5 years or public shares for over 3 years, you pay no tax on the sale, regardless of your residency status.

[@levelsio @levelsio]

Great explanation of one of the biggest issues in Europe and why they can't build startups is they can't recruit early talent and compete with American startups by paying them stock options because the taxing of them means it makes no sense to take European stock options so you better take the American startup offer (or the European startup just incorporates in America)!

@visegrad24 Shows ordinary Russians that this war is not just something far away. Some will wake up and start asking questions. They won't like the answers. More angry Russians = higher chance of a putsch.
