@benadrylfan69 Maybe because many haven't seen a heatwave like this in 200 years? I might start an A/C company...

React fam. I find it easier / more intuitive to use the old Class Components form of React components when building very complicated, imperative components - instead of using hooks. Hooks are fine for a couple imperative things mixed into a declarative component, but when the entire component is a giant ball of hyper-optimized mutations that avoids re-rendering in most cases, bridging to several external side effects, is it "wrong" to use Class Components? Or do I just need to get better at using all the new hooks?

Reading a lot of commentary about AC in Europe and it’s exhausting but amusing. Some believe we don’t have it. Some that we shouldn’t have it. Some are saying it’s unsightly. All I know is it’s bloody hot outside and 22C in here and the only visible sign of AC in my home is these small strips on the ceiling - all placed to give ideal airflow through the rooms.

The best founders in the world would never sell their company. You could never acquire Elon, Bezos, Zuck, Jobs, Ellison, Jensen, Dell, Page & Brin. Scott Wu has turned down billions and keeps saying No. “There’s got to be some crazy number somebody can throw at you where you're just like I have to take this.” “Not really.” “It’s funny you talk about money. Dude I don't have a car. I rent an apartment.” “Think about the Zuck example when he turned down $1 billion from Yahoo. They said you’re 22. You’d make $250 million.” “And Zuck was like Well what would I do with the money? I would just start another social network and I kind of like the one I have. I just want to build shit anyways.”

@PalmerLuckey The best bang for the buck? Educate people on living healthy lives. Europe will eventually adapt to the rising temperatures, even though it'll take longer than we like.

@PalmerLuckey I'm in the EU heatwave. Yes, it's definitely super-hard for many people. So, should installing AC everywhere in EU be the #1 priority? I'm not so sure. Why? ⬇️

At least 1,200 people died of heatstroke in France last Wednesday, mostly elderly people indoors. Even crazier, about 70,000 Europeans die from the same every year, akin to a bi-weekly 9/11. Eurobros, please vote for leaders who will let you open your windows and install A/C!

@PalmerLuckey There will be other high-stress events throughout the year. The autumn flu period is often just as deadly as this heat wave. These events tend to impact the same groups of people.

@PalmerLuckey Smartly built homes without A/C fare quite well. Worst is being in a crowded city, without trees and rivers, near street level. If the rich start using AC, they'll make heat worse for the rest.

wow. AI is seriously amazing. i asked it to find a better route for the Sydney - London flight Opus 4.8 found a much more efficient route that flys in a straight line instead of a curved one. but Fable 5 found an even better route that's half the distance! please tag Qantas so they can see this, this will revolutionize the airline industry

This is insane. Czechia used to be similar but recently ESOP rules got much better - taxed on sale. (Thanks to lobbying by czechfounders.org) And, it's tax regime can be great for founders and investors: If you hold private company shares for over 5 years or public shares for over 3 years, you pay no tax on the sale, regardless of your residency status.
@levelsio@levelsio

Great explanation of one of the biggest issues in Europe and why they can't build startups is they can't recruit early talent and compete with American startups by paying them stock options because the taxing of them means it makes no sense to take European stock options so you better take the American startup offer (or the European startup just incorporates in America)!

@visegrad24 Shows ordinary Russians that this war is not just something far away. Some will wake up and start asking questions. They won't like the answers. More angry Russians = higher chance of a putsch.
