I don't know, it seems pretty libertarian for a county/township to nullify state law when it deems the law unnecessary or bad. Different branches of libertarianism may disagree but in the end it's all about localism, no?

This articulated for me one of my biggest frustrations with traditional 1:1s with managers I've had throughout my career: by these people I want to be coached, not mentored.
Most 1:1s have been driven by me, at the explicit behest of the manager. "I'm here for you" and "this is your time" are/were common phrases. I found this particularly annoying as a new grad when I really didn't know what I didn't know and just wasn't getting a lot of mileage out of those conversations.
Pets.com, the poster child of dotcom era excess, IPO'd at a $290 million valuation, and never had a market cap that exceeded $1 billion.
Today there three or four companies in the EV space alone that are either outright universally known frauds (Nikola) or where senior management has told investors that they will run out of money before ever making a product. Yet they all have billion dollar+ market caps (Workhorse, Lordstown, etc...)
Rivian, Tesla, and Lucid do have products but are worth $1.3 trillion together. What do you call that if not insanity?
What do public EV markets have to do with private PaaS VC investments?
You would have a case if Vercel has no revenue, or no chance of becoming profitable. I don't know their numbers, and I'm sure the multiple is high, but relating this to EVs is a non-sequitur.
Any plans to add IPv6 support? I see that you use the 76.76.21.21 as a vanity IPv4 address surely you can do the same IPv6 as well.
This is the main reason I refer clients to Netlify as I use IPv6 support to measure the maturity of a platform and its engineers.
How do you feel about GCP?
For example how does Oracle make money from MySQL, a free open source implementation of a database? They sell support.
"Selling support" is one way to make money from OpenSource, but a) it's not clear that Wasmer is even doing that, and b) there's loads of other ways too (hosting, open core, freemium, etc).
I own an advertising agency. I've tracked ios impressions % over time on all of our remarketing campaigns (as a proxy), its down about 30% from peak and stabilized. Not a huge deal.
LOL at this below:
"Seufert estimated that in the first full quarter users see the prompt, the iOS changes could cut Facebook’s revenue by 7% if roughly 20% of users agree to be tracked. If just 10% of users grant Facebook tracking permission, revenue could be down as much as 13.6%, according to his models. The first full quarter with the prompt is the third quarter. Facebook reports second quarter earnings at the end of July."
FB revenue is going to be up in Q3, not down, would bet $10k on that.

Why?
Seems like a programming language that optimizes for "codes well with Copilot" could be fairly successful. Things like memory safety, human readability, verifiability, etc.
You could also have some kind of AI-driven testing/verification program -- Copilot and <other program> could go back and forth multiple times until the program is deemed correct and returned to the user.
Organic and regenerative ag are built on the assumption that crops must be grown in open air soil. The reality is that crops can be grown in open air soil and, if they are, regenerative ag in particular is significantly better for soil longevity.
That said it is not necessarily better to produce all crops in low density, high volatility, season dependent environments. Some material % of crops can move to more intelligent indoor settings where yields are higher, weather isn't a factor, and production yields can be scheduled without risk of weather impact. I'm actually a partner in one of these high volume operations in Montana (randomly). Uses less water, has zero soil impact, requires little to no chemical agents and is predictable.
What I hope will continue is crops that are capable of producing profitable and predictable yields in indoor environments will move more and more in that direction. This could serve to reduce soil stress and leave soil for crops that need more space (e.g. tubers) and livestock to aid in improving soil longevity.
Note this is not a plug for vertical farming. That's an entirely different mirage of financial engineering.
Interested in links or books on this if you know any good ones. Don't you still have to use soil?
Slightly off topic, but what is it about raised beds? Why not till and fertilize the soil you already have?
Texas checking in -- the dirt in my backyard is full of clay and totally unsuitable for growing anything other than grass and weeds. Many places are like this.
