Vienna’s “Social Housing” Model Is a Costly Illusion—Not a Blueprint disq.us/t/4v0muv9
In the next decade this will not be an issue, structurally
New newsletter: HOW THE HOUSING MARKET FOR YOUNG PEOPLE BECAME A 'TOTAL DISASTER' In 1991, the median age of first-time homebuyers was 28. Now it’s 38. This is the hardest time for young people (defined, generously, up to 40) to buy their first home in modern history. The…
Guy who knows nothing about China looks for ways to dunk on his hobby horses More at 11
It's just so sad to watch China lap the U.S. in technology and capacity by using policies we used to have. And then instead of realizing that the people who control money and power here are the reason for our failure, we attack diversity or pretend that it's a lack of education.
It’s hilarious because lindz blocked me But it was a DSA protest and lots of coverage of said swastika! Reminder of the political fall out reddit.com/r/AskALiberal/… Coverage: nypost.com/2023/10/08/nyc…
Can we ban Taylor from healthcare?
Democrat apologists in the replies like, yes Biden disenrolled 25 million from Medicaid & millions suffered and died from lack of healthcare, but those people weren't supposed to have healthcare in the first place under our system so it's not bad. The result is the exact same!
Sam sltman and masa about to make the biggest power play
Trump: in two weeks reveal purchaser of TikTok
Under discussed is the financial illiteracy of the fincluencer class Look at the state tax receipts and what happened with NJ and David tepper and say with a straight face that taxing the rich is going to solve the problem

1) stop trying to stop tech companies from doing stuff and we’d get good things 2) what the fuck are you building? 3) are you familiar with labor laws in China? Are you also anti union? Pro 996?
Chinese companies build high speed rail, innovate new robotics, develop better agriculture inputs, and more. Meanwhile, our leading “tech” companies are out here reinventing bus service for the 4th time. For fuck’s sake, man.
We should be using technology to do more rather than govt employees who will need pensions
If Ezra’s complaint is just that environmental review takes a long time, then — much like with zoning and permitting review at the local level — the real problem he should seek to solve is the understaffing and underfunding of government agencies. That’s the primary reason those…
This is the full pendulum swing back The left overused racism to circumscribe anything that resulted divergence of outcomes The right curtailing racism to not include actual racism (against interracial marriages, advocating eugenics, race hate against specific groups)
Socialist, disregard
Marc Andreessen and other tech elites want you to believe DeepSeek's R1 model is a "Sputnik moment" for AI. In my latest for @sfstandard, I explain why this is both wrong and dangerously self-serving. 🧵
Reminder the Biden admin was the one closing the doors on ai to anoint kings Matt as usual on the wrong side
Deepseek is forcing the entire Silicon Valley ecosystem to recognize that Lina Khan was right, even if they won’t admit it.
These dunk takes from journalists are going to be incredibly funny over the next five years
So maybe the people who regurgitated industry claims about AI innovation inevitably requiring an enormous build-out of resource-intensive data centers were wrong?
If you truly cared about h1bs, you wouldn’t be framing the discussion as “these are competitors to American labor” Have fun making the Nazi party with the nativists asshole
If you think it’s perfectly fine that we have a category of worker who can get deported if they’re fired—giving their employers an immense amount of power not just over their work life but over their life as such—just say so. I personally think that’s bad and should be reformed.
Honestly a very good lawsuit waiting to happen given Ryan’s tweets for any ex @MessariCrypto employee
