Yet, during oral arguments they use some of the most juvenile thought experiments to prove their 'slippery slope' opinions


Nonsense.

Oral arguments are the lawyers making arguments. The justices ask questions and collect answers. Their proofs are in their opinions.

Your post would be fine without that first bit.


David Sacks is not an expert on gpu architecture.


But anyone can see nVidia is ahead in GPU & software stack. They are 1 step ahead and that is all is necessary.


The valuation is driven by its huge margins and growth in revenue. It's an inevitable pump sorts.

It can't and won't last. There's just too much margin for players not to compete or design their own chips. The only question for capitalizing is how to time your shorts.


Yep, ripe for a bonanza day of shorting in the not-too-distant future, it would seem.

Looks like they're just pointing to images hosted by others, most of which are Shopify sellers. One weird trick to save on bandwidth costs...but obviously problematic in the long term.


Currently evaluating alternatives for hosting images rn. Open to any suggestions!


Curious to see how many of those million databases are from free users.

Feels like we're living in the golden age of free platform offerings.

Wonder when the shoe will drop.


> Curious to see how many of those million databases are from free users.

A LOT! Probably most.

But Supabase is committed to the free tier and it's not going anywhere. It's crucial to helping demonstrate all the features and the DX to developers.


I am happily using the free tier to help launch my startup. It is invaluable to me. I am a big fan of it, and have no regrets with this decision (only 9 months in). I admire what I am allowed to have for the low price of 'free now, pay when you need to'.


thanks for building with supabase. good luck with your startup!


Certainly in their ability to buy homes.

Land zoned for development is the one thing you cannot produce in factories. No wonder that densely populated areas feel the shortage.

Zone more land for denser development, and you will see the rents and home prices fall, or at least stagnate. That is why people started building skyscrapers immediately after reasonably developed lift technology was available.


Not Australian but I wanted to say thanks for all the vids of the melbourne shuffle that came out around that period. Very entertaining for an american teenager


My friends call me ‘Johnny two-step’ to this day.


He probably means it spiked 80 from where it was (e.g. 100 to 180)


Which is still pretty normal, low for a full meal if anything, if not presiding with insulin.


What are 'treatable' causes other than food intake?


One example is an iron overload disorder. Excess iron accumulates in various organs including your pancreas, liver, and pituitary gland. Catch it early and you can avoid liver cirrhosis, busted pituitary function, poor pancreatic function, heart issues, dementia, etc. Wait too long and you are on the transplant list.


In NYC, you can get robbed and beat up, and the NYPD will refuse to file a report.

There's your 'lack' of crime


I’m not familiar with NYC or a lack of filing per se, but I could believe an honest lack of reporting downtrends the real numbers.

I’ve been victim to several violent crimes in my city in the 2020-2022 timespan (multiple pistol brandishing in traffic, one shot out window, and a knife brandishing in a grocery store)

In the first instance I was asked if I wanted to file a report about an hour later after the man had long fled (I had only a partial plate and they couldn’t get a match based off that information.) I was told, really, no there’s not much that would come out of it but they would file if I asked they do. I thanked the officer for his time and let him know I wouldn’t bother burdening him with the paperwork.

I never bothered reporting the next several incidences.

The only report I know was filed was the knife wielding man threatening to kill me in front of my child at 5.00 PM on a Friday in a crowded grocery store. I waited 35 minutes for police to respond to the call for the sole fact that the man might be waiting in the parking lot and I didn’t intend on leaving without a police escort lest I have to shoot down a man in front of my child. Never requested a report there, but I know it was filed.

I found out because I was telling my barber about it a week later and he mentioned that story was in the local city paper’s police blotter.

I can’t say it’s particularly unique. I’ve had coworkers harassed in similar fashions, they never reported because they knew it was a waste of everyone’s time. The police officer that works security at our old church told me he had it happen once off-duty he just flashed his own pistol and badge and the fool fled.

He never filed for his own incident.

Why bother?


Ah, here in Philadelphia, we've gotten used to the police response of "there's nothing we can do"

Officer, I have footage of the person committing assaults, we have several witnesses, including several victims, and oh look, that's him walking past.

"Oh yeah, we know about that guy. If you see something happening, call 911. Nothing I can really do."

911, meanwhile, rings out, because of staff shortages.


When did this change happen? Is there some evidence that it would be the cause?


In Minneapolis, police staffing is at historic lows, well below the statutory requirement for number of officers.

Under De Blasio, NYPD starting protesting oversight with work 'slowdowns'

" was a warning to the public as well, criminologists say, with Lynch alluding to the "Ferguson effect" argument, in which police pull back on acting, leading to a work slowdown because of criticism or administrative decisions perceived to endanger their well being on the streets."

I came to post a very similar sentiment, but about Oakland, CA.

Reward police for lowered stats, watch the stats magically deflate. Et voila!
