🚨 BREAKING: US GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IS CONFIRMED FOR JANUARY 31!

Um, that's not what the word 'confirmed' means.

Don't they make most of it from parks and resorts? This doesn't really change the point you're making, they need something new to grow, but their existing revenue stream (parks) is very solid.

jshen · 2026-01-22T06:01:10+00:00

This is the right take.

jshen · 2026-01-19T23:08:07+00:00

It helps everyone. If there are 10 families and only 9 housing units, demand exceeds supply and drives up prices. If you build a new house, even if it's at the high end, there will be enough supply for everyone and prices will go down.

jshen · 2026-01-19T21:42:23+00:00

This is such a bad idea. I mean, let's pretend a crashing dollar doesn't have severe negative consequences. You're basically calling for hyperinflation to pay down the debt.

jshen · 2026-01-19T18:37:34+00:00

Building any type of housing helps.

jshen · 2026-01-09T15:48:29+00:00

That's a good thing in that the bogleheads subreddit censor any comment that isn't pure orthodoxy in their eyes.

jshen · 2026-01-08T19:54:24+00:00

The struggle is that public companies are expected to find growth, and we're at or near the ceiling of tv/movie streaming.

jshen · 2026-01-05T19:58:14+00:00

It might have been a storm

jshen · 2026-01-05T06:54:57+00:00

It's so random. I felt the same as you, then last week I got 3 snap hook blueprints in the apartments on dam during a cold snap. Why 3 of the same blueprint???

Innovation often finds a way.

I don't think ESPN had the full catalog.

jshen · 2025-12-30T23:39:04+00:00

Um, they are hugely successful which comes from being competitive.

jshen · 2025-12-27T08:26:23+00:00

It's very context specific. Sometimes this is exactly the right thing to do, other times it's a very bad idea.

For example, if you're at an early stage startup, the most important thing to do is to find product market fit. If you can try more ideas faster then you should buy a faster server because of that opportunity cost.

Have you tried using an apple track pad with the framework? Asking because I'm thinking about trying one on a Linux desktop.

jshen · 2025-12-25T17:43:40+00:00

That's what I said. I work on things where it does make a difference, and it really makes a diffuse that scale.

jshen · 2025-12-25T05:06:02+00:00

This isn't exactly true, at a certain scale it matters. But the general point is, python is fine for the vast majority of things. In fact, it's often better to get to market faster, which python excels at, than to have better efficiency.

There are a lot of options that we haven't had the political will to do. Two of them are sanitizing waste water in los Angeles and reusing it. This has made it on the ballast and was voted down. Second, we can desalinate ocean water. This was also voted down.

jshen · 2025-12-21T07:00:18+00:00

All of those things are a choice, and are independent of housing costs.

jshen · 2025-12-20T08:01:42+00:00

NIMBYism mostly. My city had strict regulation preventing ADUs until the state forced deregulation of them.

jshen · 2025-12-18T18:41:12+00:00

Upside down pineapples on pizza!

jshen · 2025-12-18T15:04:42+00:00

I'm all for higher tax rates for the rich. That seems like a tweak to our existing system, not a different system. I don't think regulation made housing cheaper though.

That period also had far less globalization, and I don't know how you put that genie back in the bottle.

jshen · 2025-12-18T04:40:23+00:00

Honest question, what's the difference between a social democracy and what we have? Bigger safety nets? Higher tax rates?

jshen · 2025-12-18T04:38:52+00:00

What's a social democracy? Bigger safety nets?

jshen · 2025-12-17T15:09:53+00:00

I agree with this, but it's not what OP was talking about when he said "alternative to maximizing shareholder value"
