It needs to be paired with an understanding that they do this _with their own money_ and with _their skin in the game_, which are fundamentally missing from broader command economies.


What's missed in that nostalgia: the house was crap; the appliances, if any, were crap; the car(if you had one, and only one), was crap. On and on.


That crap house hasn't been updated and is worth 200x currently in California. Houses that sold for 10k in the mid 70s are selling for 2 million or more in 2025. Cars, appliances and everything else is just a rounding error by comparison.


That's a condemnation of zoning laws artificially restricting the market for housing, which ironically only came about after that period of relative abundance


"Things are not shitty because of X you mentioned but because Y, therefore things are not shitty"

Does not compile.


Holy shit you have eaten it all up even licked your fingers just wow.


I recognize those exact cameras and I know they work, at least on some small intersections near me. I also know some intersections without them that operate on a timer.


That's not what a zoning code does.


I don't think they were insinuating that _you_ were making that assumption, but rather that your line of reasoning must necessarily make that assumption if brought to fruition


I love the aesthetic in this person's videos, I just wish it wasn't on tiktok :(


The problem is, it isn't their aesthetic, it's a resynthesis of the aesthetic of someone else's work.


I wasn't claiming they had ownership of that aesthetic, and that sort of gets into philosophical questions about whether one can own such a thing anyways. I like the style and I'm glad they have the tools to bring it into clarity from the abstract.


I appreciate what you're doing here. I think it's really important to have this kind of high level overview of these species. I have a little feedback based on clicking around the site.

When you click on a country in the map view(under Elephants, for example), I think the map still has focus instead of the card. So this means you can't highlight text, click on links, etc within the card. Also if you scroll using the scroll wheel, you end up zooming in and out on the map.

I wonder if it would be good to have a "see more" link or some such here, so you can view the same information in the card, but on its own discrete page for each country?


Really appreciate that you checked out the website. It is a bit hacky, but for now i am happy with it. Indeed that is correct, the focus is on the map. I am going to fix that. Thank you.

As for the see more, it is in my planning. I can do it manually, but I am waiting for some free time to automated that.


Would it matter if it's metadata-only until you download?


> I agree though, my dream for years has been an open source CubeSat bus design that covers say 80% of academic CubeSat use cases and can be modified by the user for the other 20%

Surely this, or something like it, exists?


Not really. There are a couple of open source projects (LibreCube being the biggest example) but they aren't flight-ready.


tiktok videos themselves are often just ads.


But they're not forced.
