Nimbyism is generally against a public good (low income housing, powerlines, etc)but there is nothing public or good about this.

Calling this nimbyism is billionaire psyop lol

Slavery isn't a single mechanism, rather a system of many things that keep it all running smoothly

  those would imply inflation was nearly 100% between the end of GFC and before the pandemic

... yes? There's many things I'm paying double for at this point from 10-20 years ago. Maybe you haven't noticed?

Streaming services, diapers, energy, etc. the list is long if you look deep enough

That's done quietly behind the scenes so leaders can blame something else for inflation.

See "M2SL" or "TOTBKCR" on tradingview if you want to see inflation live.

  How does creating wealth hurt others?

Inflation. If i print $1 trillion dollars, i buy up all the resources you need to live and dangle them in front of you and control every aspect of your life.

A Google API?

  You need to be checking every thing it does.

This is what seems to be lost on so many. As someone with relatively little code experience, I find myself learning more than ever by checking the results and what went right/wrong.

This is also why I don't see it getting better anytime soon. So many people ask me "how do you get your claude to have such good output?" and the answer is always "I paid attention and spotted problems and asked claude to fix them." And it's literally that simple but I can see their eyes already glazing over.

Just as google made finding information easier, it didn't fix the human element of deciphering quality information from poor information.

You've mistaken indifference with inability. The government can absolutely get something done very quickly if certain people wish. There are numerous examples.

  the handful of sites you feel like you're stuck using for some reason

Billions have been spent building walls around niche and small sites to funnel people into major platforms. Pretending this ad/discoverability infrastructure doesn't exist is very naive.

As someone who has written many docs, it's because 99% won't read it (rightfully so if it's verbose). You can turn that doc into a skill in a repo and Claude will read it everytime it's needed.

  I would think, the golden age of criminal hacking is drawing to a close. This assume companies smart enough to do this however.

It's rarely the systems that are the weak link, rather the humans with backdoor access.

Thank you, it's really crazy to be see "it's sad that you want truth when ignorance makes me happy" being upvoted on this platform. I suppose it's par for the course on a VC forum..

Any "private" space in a public place becomes valuable with more density. It's basic scarcity incentives. It unfortunately incentivizes hooligans to make the restroom appear even more disheveled and unsafe to increase the privacy (less people want to go in it)

Great point, if the only constant is change, then philosophy should follow (or lead).

We all perform everyday. Those performances eventually become our identity and influence our actions.
