Why should he should say something he doesn't believe? We don't have to agree with him.

I filter emails with the word "unsubscribe" into a separate folder (label in Gmail). If you can unsubscribe from it, it's probably not critical. The vast majority of transactional emails (password resets, magic login links, 2fa codes) don't have that wording in the email body.

Most people are for more housing somewhere else or with so many caveats that they are effectively against it.

Allow people to build more housing. It's simple. These rules will help current renters at the expense of future Los Angelenos, make building more housing less desirable for developers, and will let local politicians pretend they solved the issue while actually doing the exact opposite.

It was down for about 15 minutes for me. Up now.

I’m presuming (perhaps incorrectly) that the app only gets access to your last photo when the photo picker is launched. It wouldn’t be able to slurp up every photo in the background.

Something like "allow app access to last photo" would be ideal for me

We have taxes, but the current governing coalition is opposed to raising them.

The quantity and capriciousness of these tariffs are certainly unusual.

And these tariffs apply to the entire world for some reason?

> I expect salaries for non FAANG devs to decrease while salaries for FAANG devs to increase slightly (given the increased value they can now make).

Are you implying that non-FAANG devs aren't able to do more with LLMs?

If there is a good reason, the administration is welcome to communicate to the public. This is reportedly a democracy, after all.

Same. I thought it'd be ~$50.

Why does corporate ownership matter?

You'd think NYC would reach a point where the market wouldn't bear any more price increases, but we're not there yet.

It'd be nice to know how this compares to what we can run locally on today's "AI" optimized machines from Apple, Microsoft, etc.

It seems like this should open up an opportunity for some enterprising people to make a Facebook and Instagram competitor that isn't filled with AI bots.
