I've been reading the book. The important part is in 2004 they were offered to be acquired by serono. Because of their governance they were able to say no to the acquisition. Meanwhile serono was later acquired by merck and largely shut down. Back in 2004 novo was about $2.5 a share. Now at its current price even after a huge downturn it is $43.3 So that 17x gain you can attribute advantages with how they governed themselves at that time. Is it a silver bullet or always make stock go up and to the right? No of course not. Are they making governance mistakes now? I'm not sure. But most companies probably would have sold for a ton of cash and if so everyone would have missed out on huge gains, not just in money but in technology and public good.

One thing I loved about the first solveit course was how create the community is. It goes back to fast.ai too, but everyone is super kind, smart, and has diverse backgrounds.

We've captured a slice of that on our main site. Testimonials: https://solve.it.com/testimonials Some blog posts: https://solve.it.com/#showcases on the main page

And on of the students even made a project dashboard page showcasing all the things everyone has built! https://solveit-project-showcase.pla.sh/

He even blogged about it : ) https://himalayanhacker.substack.com/p/how-i-built-solve-it-...

Here is a video showing off using solveit for creating a web app. https://youtu.be/DgPr3HVp0eg?t=3120 To reiterate other comments, this is more about the methodology than the tool, but it is fun to see the tool in action too.

Right. I agree, but I think you are appealing to generosity when it works just as well if you appeal to greed and selfishness.

If I'm a parent who does not intend to take advantage of the program and therefore not to get any benefit directly, and I assume the program is done well and not rushed, I could reasonably expect:

- More parents able to be in the work force (immediately) - Better metrics for the young children entering. Especially for at risk. - Savings from less crime in the future. - Higher attainment of students when they enter the work force later. - Higher birth rate??? (probably not but this one is interesting regardless)

My understanding so far is that this leads to spending savings in addition to QOL of life improvements. And that's just for me. I want to live with less crime and less tax liability.

Asking for additional waivers imo just increases the cost in areas that will not as directly achieve the benefits of the program as stated. The only reason to ask for it is as a negotiation tactic.

I think the most important thing is to focus on the quality of the program and make sure the resources are there. And to make sure opportunities persist to prevent "fade out". I think that might have been the difference between Oklahoma's success in pre-k vs a program in Tennessee.

Templating is great. I think I prefer fasthtml because I can apply all of the python tricks I know. Python arguments seem to work very well. Having a list of dom elements and splatting them into another component would feel very similar to templating.

Imo they are abstractions but not quite as bad as you / myself / everyone else is used to. Monsterui is moreso an extension of fasthtml. It doesn't hide any of the underlying API. Same with fasthtml with respect to htmx.

Htmx also may leverage js but it is meant to patch http functionality based on how http "should" function. See the hypermedia book for that discussion. You don't need to really know that it used js. You don't interact with it via js, just the dom.

As for starlette I'm not currently aware of any server stack that doesn't have some convenience library for that.

My point is that the frameworks which makes us very pessimistic every time a new approach comes out frequently try to make something really easy but once you get far enough you realize that you have to break their abstractions. And create hacks just to access the lower level implementation. I think you'll find something like this very different. When you need control you'll find everything to be much easier to decompose such that you can operate at your needed level of abstraction.

There is no reason for the author to be misleading about Table as a "high level component". There are more than enough examples that fit your definition. Look at the code for dashboard and music and you will see plenty of abstractions on top of the html components. https://monsterui.answer.ai/music/

If you want a custom Div you can just define a function for it. The definition of DivLAligned is just for convenience. You can see its implementation is fairly trivial.

Much better really? Looking at the muni map, pretty much all transit clusters around downtown. And bart doesn't even stop at 4th and King. You have to go to Millbrae for a close-ish transfer. Added to that the transit center is very close to the ferry building. And then you have golden gate transit. And it's a hub that has tons of space to accommodate a ton of transfers.

The other important implication is how Caltrain could be routed through underground tunnels to Salesforce transit center. 4th and king isn't super nice and, correct me if I'm wrong, but it isn't well connected to other modes of transport. Maybe some muni buses.
