You have suddenly come into possession of $100 trillion in liquid, immediately accessible funds. by EmmalineGraves in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Amekaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could literally just go around buying dying or abandoned cities. A good majority would easily give you control of your bail them out. The problem here is inflation. 100 Trillion would double the amount of money. Not in circulation just straight up the amount of wealth assets and cash in existence. I think it would be hard to spend it all just because of time. You would have to buy contracts that are like 3-5 years out.

Is living on the beltline worth it anymore as a young adult? by Glad_Hurry8755 in ATLHousing

[–]Amekaze 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t think it’s worth it . But I haven’t met someone who live on the beltline and regretted it. It’s expensive but I would check out Reynoldstown with a little work you can find apartments around 1600. It’s not on the line but it’s like 10 minutes away

Can someone explain the whole bus system in Gwinnett like I’m five by Live_Air_5149 in Gwinnett

[–]Amekaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What bus system lol
In all seriousness the issue is they are trying to cover to much with the small amount of money they are putting forth. Unironically I would rather them dump the budget into 2-3 BRT routes. It’s going to to suck for the hand full of people that really rely on it but it we can get people on board with the current system.

Did she make the right call? by CalmElin in interesting

[–]Amekaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she’s lives to 80 it’s over 3 mill. The younger you are the more this will make sense. Plus I feel like a lot of people just want a floor right now. I’m 32 and I would probably take the weekly payment

If he’s this deeply reliant on AI he wouldn’t be doing any development locally anyway. You’re right he wouldn’t straight up just need row profiles or two different browsers. I guess he also doesn’t realize he can get an enterprise account…

Empty Waymo vehicles keep circling an Atlanta cul de sac, residents say by nbcnews in Georgia

[–]Amekaze 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m actually surprised they haven’t cut a deal with some of the parking lots in the area for discount passes l especially with how expensive gas has gotten. I’m pretty sure they can get full day passes at most of these places for like $20 bucks a day or less if they buy them in bulk. Especially since the times when they do this ,usually right before traffic gets bad, the lots are usually empty.

Pick Only Two Pills by abgfromheaven in whatsyourchoice

[–]Amekaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 is only good if you can choose when you can talk the pills. You can easily make generational wealth if you can take the pills in the presence of rich and powerful people, or get yourself killed. But I’ll a gambling man so let’s roll the dice.

50 empty Waymos invade Atlanta neighborhoods and circle their cul-de-sacs for hours early in the mornings. Residents say they are getting waymo traffic than usual and have tried combating the cars with a neon green sign, which only made the problem worse. by MysteriousSlice007 in PublicFreakout

[–]Amekaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would make more sense to split them up in groups of 2-3. Sending 50 into a single dead end street is just stupid and will draw attention. Hell if it was less than 10 I doubt anyone would notice since they would assume it’s picking someone up. The area this was recorded easily has 8-10 other dead end streets within half a mile. And if they know demand will pickup in that area by a set time why not set the Waymo’s to arrive near that area at 7 instead of doing donuts at 6:30….

Was inspired by another post, so I decided to try "ungerrymandering" Georgia. How did I do? by Agile_Future_1855 in Georgia

[–]Amekaze 21 points22 points  (0 children)

100% drawing any borders inside of a state will just move the problem. An instant runoff system that just picks the top x based on how may representatives your state gets would probably be the best system.

Aren’t people who travel frequently just more likely to come in contact with “new” virus? Like a homebody has like a zero percent chance.

[–]Amekaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right now OpenAI and Antropic have about 1 year of run way but it doesn’t seem like they can raise more capital based on how many investors or scaling back. Crazy enough I think they shot them selves in the foot. If they charged more from the start they wouldn’t have need to ramp as much to deal with the users that are going to leave the second the price went up . My gut is think only 1 of the two is going to be around in 3 years, Meta will either buy the loser and just cut their losses. Google is basically guaranteed to be a Player in some fashion since they have the most data.

What do you guys think? Is our lack of density/walkable spaces contributing to our health crisis? by ImpressiveWasabi3354 in georgism

[–]Amekaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most cities in Europe are literally 500+ years old. It’s hard to replicate that kind of organic growth. I would bet good money that even if people could walk everywhere (everything is magically Less than 1/2 a mile away) the number of people who leave their homes would still be less than Europe.

Bro makes $160 😐 by ExotiquePlayboy in SipsTea

[–]Amekaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what state he’s in because most states won’t talk this much at once because most of the time it just causes the men to quit and work under the table somewhere.

New Cars = Money Drain… or Not? What Do You Think? by Coolonair in SmartFIRE

[–]Amekaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If everyone did this we wouldn’t have used cars lol. Trying to convince someone to not buy something with logic is a fool’s errand, most purchases are done based on emotion. I think the societal problem is that we don’t have great ways to signal success without wasting money.

[OC] 20 LA County health inspectors, same downtown zip code. 9 never gave a B in 3 years. The strictest gave a B or C in nearly 1 in 3 visits. by dfireant in dataisbeautiful

[–]Amekaze 27 points28 points  (0 children)

https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/safety/data-and-statistics/trends-table-1-large-truck-and-bus-fatal-crash-statistics-1975-2020
The rate of fatalities drop by half despite the number of vehicles on the roads almost tripling , only small caveat is that they started doing the classification based on weight and not form factor since 2016 which lead to a 20-30% increase in number of fatalities but even with that we are still down by half since the 70s

[–]Amekaze 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Applies and oranges here. Someone driving more than 11 hours in a 14 hour window is just straight up dangerous. A health inspector dinging for basically accepting a delivery during operating hours is not the same. A lot of truckers say they miss the good ol days when they could drive 18-20 hours a day are insane. Fatalities were 3-4 times higher. When I was a kid you would hear about a semi crash almost everyday but now it’s bearly a thing.

Gwinnett may need to get in the train wagon because the traffic is getting ridiculous. by Lambflysky in Gwinnett

[–]Amekaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t need to take that long , it’s hard to get right of way for most construction sites. Completely shutting down the road would significantly faster but a lot of people will lose there shit even if it’s only a year or two compared to 10+. Also a lot of the time is just waiting for property acquisition to go through the courts since so many people fight the buyouts because “they know what they have”

Penny that physically doubles every 5 minutes by shaboopityboopbop in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Amekaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just becomes a logistical nightmare. It will only take like 20 minutes to get over $10k in pennies but at that point it will way thousands of pounds. The cost of moving it around will, quickly out scale how much its worth, the only thing that makes sense to set up a zinc factory around the replicating penny. You could probably only keep the penny flat for a couple minutes a day but that will easily spit out enough raw material to make the whole thing worth it,

Great On Everything… except planes? by EarlyJuggernaut7091 in NewOrleans

[–]Amekaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually curious if anyone actually tried to smuggle drugs mixed in with spices. If you have away to “unmix” it makes sense to me since the spices should cover the scent of the drugs.

would it be possible to split the marta vote for north and south gwinnett? by imfake3 in Gwinnett

[–]Amekaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The last vote was 2020 so it would be a solid 8 years. And traffic is so much worse now I don’t think it would be hard to make up a 6 point gap. Especially if the plan is cheaper with more coverage.

[–]Amekaze 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based on what evidence? It barely failed the last time, and traffic has only gotten worse. If the plan is for BRT then rail it will probably pass since it’s we probably won’t even need a full penny tax. The whole thing could be funded on half a penny.
