@Killa_Daze @SawyerMerritt @elonmusk @Starlink Sure, but not all customers are on loyalty programs. In fact most dont have status. They’ll lose customers at the margins.

@SawyerMerritt @elonmusk @Starlink No they won’t. Delta loyalists aren’t going to give up the report built with delta. You clearly know nothing about frequent flying. The WiFi isn’t terrible as it is, and waiting a year for high speed isn’t the crisis you think it is. Still the best hubs, and best lounges.

Delta rejected adopting SpaceX's @Starlink on its fleet because it wanted to provide internet connectivity to passengers via the Delta Sync portal, instead of the Starlink-branded portal. Delta has since chosen to partner with Amazon's LEO.
This will result in Delta falling behind many of its competitors in offering high-speed WiFi onboard, as many other carriers are already offering or installing Starlink, whereas Amazon's LEO airplane WiFi for Delta is still a couple year away (or more).
Satellites currently in orbit:
• SpaceX's Starlink: 10,400
• Amazon's LEO: 300
(Delta rejection info according to Ron Baron)

@insolventXBT @AsterZephyrIsis If only there was a way to tackle the homeless epidemic and build homes. Alas…
English
@AsterZephyrIsis The way they talk about homeless people is so callous and inhumane. The irony is these sociopaths are one disability away from being homeless themselves.

In 2024 UC Berkeley began building student housing on an abandoned lot that had been taken over by junkies. Seething progressives vandalized the construction equipment and the university had to built a fort of containers around the lot to continue construction.

@MaTheMeatLoaff @atrupar I'm pointing out that solar and batteries have as much impact as just burning fossil fuels. So let's just burn them, it's cheap and easy.

@usrbinsean @realsaadasad a luxury apt or overpriced condo is not a home.
A single family residence is a home.
That is common sense. Only unhinged delusional person on here is you, that does not understand that.
English
More housing leads to lower housing costs. That means less displacement.
John Cocozza@johncocozza
@realsaadasad @YIMBYDemsSD You arent lowering housing costs by adding luxury apts/condos. San Diegans & Californians already have been leaving. You think your crazy plans like SB79 knocking down single family homes & replacing with 6 story buildings in neighborhoods makes people want to stay here? Nuts.

@MissingBoss @glangley @Flock_Safety I can guarantee you the tendernob is better today than it was from 2020-2022
English
I live in the tendernob and it looks worse than it did last year, which was worse than the year before and there’s essentially no more businesses on Powell or Stockton near Union square, so he’s trying to live downtown to the ferry building. Also, Westfield closed and no matter where in the city you are you’re never further than six blocks from a crazy zombie who will assault you if you look them in the eyes
English
They called @Flock_Safety a "Snitching-Ass Startup". Now, the Mayor we serve is one of America's favorites.
In a San Francisco Chronicle poll, Mayor Daniel Lurie has reached a staggering 74% approval rating. The data is clear: when you prioritize safety, you revitalize the city.

@ZaidJilani Is this indicative of how he talks and answers easy questions? Because he does not seem mentally well in this clip.

@FrankieIsLost Aren’t these sales done with forward agreements? The shares don’t actually change hands until they’re publicly traded.

Frog put the shares in an SPV. “There,” he said. “Now we can transfer these shares freely”
“But Anthropic can still exercise its transfer restrictions” said Toad.
“That is true,” said Frog.
_gabrielShapir0@lex_node
I am surprised more people are not paying attention to this update from Anthropic on its stock policy. This seems like a potential bombshell. There is an active secondary market purportedly in Anthropic stock or derivatives including on fairly reputable (or at least well-known) platforms like Forge. Anthropic is calling them out *specifically*, by name, and essentially *saying* 100% of these are illegal. Some may be frauds (people selling Anthropic stock or interests in Anthropic stock that they don't truly own), but more likely many are legit attempts at transferring Anthropic equity (directly, as SPV shares, or as some type of 'beneficial interest' or future, etc.) Anthropic appears to be saying it will treat all these transfers as void. I don't have access to their terms, but it's very interesting to think what this could mean. Do the 'first purported sellers' in the chain potentially have an opportunity to do a double-dip? Does the first seller and all downstream buyers get the entire entitlement nuked? Anthropic is threatening that--are they just bluffing? If they're not bluffing, what litigation is likely to ensue? This can get into really esoteric areas of corporate law that depend on exactly how the transfer restrictions are drafted as well as the language around how violations of transfer restrictions are treated--for example, if they are merely voidABLE then downstream buyers can assert various equitable claims/defenses, but if they are VOID ab initio then in some jurisdictions that forecloses equitable defenses.

Multiple people saying that the point of Japan housing discourse is that they have smaller units and that’s a good thing. Interesting, I thought it was that Japan had liberalized zoning and built tons of supply, keeping prices low
Harlo Pippenger 🥕🛠🎀@PippengerHarlo
Your regular reminder that adjusted for average wages and unit size, housing in Japan is less affordable than in the US.
English
@guptaso2 But if you remove the wage + size adjustment, the advantage disappears! In what sense then is Japan an example of abundant supply lowering prices?

@ArmchairEcon4 @rohindhar Yup, no one wants to live there. That’s exactly why it sold for $15m

@EnjoyingShows @hankgreen @lawsonatlas If their property taxes are high, that means they have really valuable property. Sure maybe they have to sell it, but they’ll be millionaires. Why give them a tax break? If anything more retirees should sell their homes as their kids leave abd families should move in.
English
@hankgreen @lawsonatlas How do we handle folks who get priced out of thier homes due to property taxes? I don't think you're logic is wrong at all, I just worry about the human element.

It’s just not possible for Dems to accommodate the Abundance folks, who seek deregulatory policies for their developer/investor clients. I’m all for a big tent, but up until the point that accommodation starts to undermine progressive messaging. And that message is that we need a muscular government to curb the excesses of unfettered markets, concentrated wealth, and the attendant political corruption (aka oligarchy). Besides, there’s already a political party that stands for small government, low taxation on wealth/income, and deregulation. Why can’t the Abundance folks just align naturally over there?
English
@THEZONEEEEEE @KelseyTuoc @HalSinger With tariffs / protectionism I don’t think republicans are the party of free markets anymore
English
@KelseyTuoc @HalSinger I’m not sure what you’re not getting, if you want deregulation, less focus on redistribution and supply side economics there is already a political party for you, if that is what Ezra and yourself seek vote for a Republican instead of trying to remake the democrat party

@GuyTalksFinance What was Berkshire’s volatility over the same period compared to the S&P?

Absolutely crazy to see the S&P500 outperforming Berkshire Hathaway over the last 20 years.
Warren Buffett was one of the best investors in the world and got beat by a simple index fund.
