@paulg @JedKolko Extreme cost of living with recent wealth influx. Prices are set at the margin, which pushes a LOT of lower income people out. I'd imagine Miami GDP still growing 5%+

@JedKolko Why are people leaving Miami?

Miami is the new San Francisco, with the highest out-migration rate of all large metros.

@moseskagan Our best people were working on the butterfly bridge

This is already a more serious bidding process than the one that resulted in the $28MM price

Am 100% confident I could re-build this pool for less than the **$28,000,000** the City of Los Angeles has budgeted.

Strongly disagree on this one. Satya has led the greatest corporate turnaround in history (?), creating an incredible amount of wealth & jobs in the process. H1-B are probably being abused today to hire rank-and-file engineers cheaper than their domestic counterparts. That should be closed, to focus on exceptional talent. Getting the world's best players on your team, and brain-draining the other teams, is fantastic for the US.

Google and Microsoft were both founded by Americans. Pinchai and Nadella didn't "create tens of thousands of jobs." We have scores of US STEM students that can't even find tech jobs right now. Tech companies use H-1B to find cheap labor. What is Ben even talking about here?

Who has the best MNAV dashboard for all eth and BTC treasury companies in one place?

Very few of us know the people at the tip of the spear. We can make the biggest impact by uniting against the handle, making that behavior far more taboo than it is now.

@paulg How many flag-burners are wrapping themselves in the Constitution? Lmao

Good counterargument. That’s the sort of old fashioned pay as you go cash economy system. Agree you can get far with that. But here’s a counter-counterargument: the world’s leading industrial power is China, and it is many things, but I wouldn’t call it simple. They do some things in simple and scalable fashion. But there is subtlety and complexity to how they do things at system level. Example: they do trial-and-error on laws via special economic zones, kind of like the old laboratory of the states ideal, but less ideological. That is not the same as totalitarian communism. They sure do have steel walls around many things, but then a lot of room for experimentation within those (often unwritten) red lines. Anyway, copying just one feature of their complex system (like tariffs or Internet censorship) without understanding it holistically is, IMO, a common error mode. A lot of it just will not work outside China.

The 50 IQ = 150 IQ meme has its limits. You can 50 IQ your way to obvious conclusions, like “men and women exist.” But you can’t 50 IQ your way to optimal economic policy. Some things actually have genuine complexity.

@realspitfire His house burned down so let’s burn his reputation next. Good work everyone! Let’s go make fun of the kids in the Beverly Hills cancer ward next.

The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B. Take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.

This whole cabal against @sriramk is totally out of control. There’s no self serving agenda whatsoever here, nor character flaws. We should celebrate people like Sriram who are going to leave so much $ on the table to serve the country. Enough of this nonsense.

@blakeir Homework, the app

Bravo six, going Founder Mode

Impossible to overstate the importance of this win. Please spread the word. Anduril is proving that with the right team and business model, a seven-year-old company can go toe-to-toe with players that have been around for 70+. The real winner? The United States of America.

I was shocked at the refusal to condemn calls for genocide during yesterday's Congressional testimony from the presidents of MIT, Harvard, and Penn. I ended up watching a few hours of the hearing, and the answers were shamefully evasive and equivocal throughout. As an alum (albeit fleeting) of the first of those institutions, it appears that something is very broken. x.com/i/status/17321… (More from the White House, @AlbertBourla, and @tylercowen: • nbcnews.com/politics/white… • x.com/albertbourla/s… • marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu….)

@nic_carter Buffett & Munger?🤷‍♂️

if the nocoiners weren't such untalented, odious grifters i wouldn't focus on them as much but for some reason the professional crypto haters are some of the worst people on the planet, like genuinely awful, often psychotic people. i cant think of a likable one
