What is the data cap?

It is broken for sure.

Right the book The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness is a good primer for this concept.

Same with this wiki page

How does a declining population within a country relate to interest rates?

"Unable to check for updates Could't communicate with a helper application." That is the error I am getting when trying to update from on macOS 13.3.1 on a M1 2020 MacBook Air.

Thats what suprized me as well. I have one friend who was level 7 at google on the youtube team. His whole team was cut in the 1st round of layoffs. He had been at google for 12 years.

2,500 workers total so 250 will loose jobs.

Best of luck to the folks who get cut finding something better!

Failing up as they say.

What a fascinating person! Personally, I prefer to run 10 miles on a trail in the morning then go to work and grind. Vs trying to combine exersize and work.

I wonder what the success rate would be if trees were replanted in forest that burned.

And to what extent climate change would make the environment no longer suited for trees?

In the US forest fires burn about 7 million acres on average each year.

The Dixie fire alone was about 1 million acres.

San Francisco is 30,000 acres for perspective.

This looks great!

And a $300 Chromebook in and EDU environment will last 5-7 years. I wonder if this laptop which is ~4x the price can last 15 years?

I think it more important to have a structure that supports students in building and advisor relationship with a senior faculty that last year over year.

Maybe the poop on the street has made its way into the water supply and that is affecting the management?

It depends on the industry. However, in a good world you would have an internal repo with all the software users need to do their job and users would just download from that.

Yes this goes way back! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaeolus_schweinitzii

You have done what Apple has failed to do in the last 10 years!

Back in the olden times of the early 21's century they made good mechanical keyboards with good tactile feel.

Now they ship laptops with paper thin fragile keys.

Thanks for design a great product to help fill the void.

I look forward to buying one.

This is such a fun hobby worth sharing!

Ya I think you are leaving out the concept of Deprecation Recapture.

In short, if I buy the rental property for $10. Deprecate it to $0 over 27.5 years. Then Sell it for $20. I then haft to pay taxes on the sale of the profitable asset.

###### Depreciation recapture is a tax provision that allows the IRS to collect taxes on any profitable sale of an asset that the taxpayer had used to previously offset taxable income ######

We can easily model this in a sheet. Like this one: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JhvGd6iVWNweMM-PYk3z...

At todays Jet 1 A US fuel price of $3.07 per gallon it would cost $108k to fill the Concord. Which holds 120 passengers. That comes out to a cost of $900 per person passenger on a full fight.

If the cost of fuel were double like a few months ago then that cost would be $1,800 per flight.

Compared to a Boeing 737 which has a fuel cost of ~24k at max capacity of 7,878 gallons at todays prices. A passenger limit of 177 and a fuel cost as low as $136.64 per passenger on a full fight.

Its the next step of facebook - meta. Think ready player one.

I think the keyboards are sub par on the pro and Air models.

Smoke Pot check your knot!

Good point.

Additionally, the US did not stop the exports of oil though any federal trade policy when prices went from ~2 - $7 per gallon. Exports continued at a in the ~3,500 barrels per day.

https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=pet&s=w...

In 2021 imports were slightly higher the exports: https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=727&t=6#:~:text=Cr....

In short, another tool the fed could use to lower prices would be to ban or reduce exports of US oil when prices are high.

The industry is having is best year fiscally speaking in decades. ######## 1. https://g.co/kgs/zMQTbf 2. https://g.co/kgs/d8oRQ8 #####

If I had invested 2 million in the day Biden was elected 11/20/2022 in Chevron Stock:

November 9, 2020 $79.40 per share. Today the stock is trading at $155 per share.

So if I bought those 25,316 shares for two million the day Biden was elected. And sold today I for $155 per share. I would net $1,924,050 million $!

It looks like the president is failing at his mission to destruct the oil and gas industry.

Ya thats another misconception:

1. Most oil and gas production is on private land within the United States 2. Oil and Gas firms have leases to drill on public land that they are choosing not to produce. In short, they make more money with the price oil is high. Just look up their old profits and compare those to oil prices. 3. The Federal Government has many tax breaks and handouts for oil and gas firms. its in the billions per year : https://www.eesi.org/papers/view/fact-sheet-fossil-fuel-subs...

Ya I think the there is a big misconception on this size of this reserve compared to this size of US demand.

The reserve holds about 714 million barrels.

The USA uses about 19 million barres per day.

714/19 = 36 day supply of oil the US.

Further more the oil in the reserve needs to be pumped out, refined and moved to fueling stations.

Perhaps is fair to say the the strategic oil reserve helped keep gas below $10 per gallon but not below $7

Carbon capture is a good point for carbon storage part of the environmental movement.

And total Acreage burned per year continues to increase. Year - million acres burned 2015 - 10.13 2020 - 10.12 (over 1 million on the dixie fire in CA alone) 2017 - 10.03

https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/IF10244.pdf

Thats 21% of all federal land in 3 years! * total federal land in USA = 640 million acres.

For contrast in a good year YNSP might controlled burn 1,000 Acres.

It is all going to burn.

We need to find a better way to capture carbon.

In the US we struggle to protect the land that is already owned by state and federal agencies.

For example, each year we spend billions on fire suppression on public land. And most year more acres burn and the cost increases.

https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information/statistics

5,510,675 Acres Year-to-date Acres Burned

FY 2021 suppression cost $4,389,000,000

Conservation his hard especially in a landscape where we fail to manage fire effectively.

I would like to add two other ways to get off the hedonic treadmill for a bit.

1. Backpacking for a 1 week time period or longer. Living out of a backpack is a great way to help rest your brain terms of its standard perspective on what it thinks it needs to be happy in day to day life. Also, there are some nice places you can walk to with a backpack on that you can not drive to.

2. A Therapeutic mushroom trip - read how to change your mind by that hippy Berkley professor. This is not for everyone though. So proceed with caution.

I 2ed this recommendation. After reading the book, I felt like I understood the fundamentals of why the Blackbird program was limited in scope and time in contrast to their cheeper to build and operate style aircraft.
