Exactly like that! Ive spoken with them and that is a great group of folks!

Im in their discord and I think theyre onto something huge.

Theyre more targeted for remote though. I was thinking more along the lines of somewhere in the suburbs for people who need to go into the office.

You could have 5000 square foot property and rent 10 van spaces at 1000 a month each. OR have a duplex at 3000 a month each for 6000 total.

Plus for the landlord theres minimal maintenance.as vans are pretty off the grid.

You could credit screen and do background checks...etc.to help keep the riff raff out.

If the zoning would allow it I think it could be a real solution to housing.


Gotcha. The other day I saw some RVs here by google: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZaPAEhWhnfW4Bn6XA

I don't know the legal set up is but it's close to what you describe.


Yeah, I'm assuming that's either some sort of city sponsored safe parking program or the cops get rid of them every now and then.

I want a more upscale van life experience where it's working people and nice facilities.

Why is T-shaped ideal? I’ve heard this before but it seems arbitrary. What about “W” or “U” or pick your favorite letter?


It takes a long time to get truly skilled in something. What we call an expert is really what a reasonably intelligent person can be expected to learn about a single topic within a lifetime. The gains in one area compound on themself. Given that these gains compound, you can't learn 2 things half as well. So the T-shape represents the constraint that you only have a shot at becoming an expert at 1 thing. Spend 80% of your time on that and 20% on the rest.

The Pareto principle (80/20 rule) also implies that you only need to read a handful of books on a single subject to know more about it than most people. The knowledge gains become marginal unless you focus most of your time on it. So the things that you find interesting that aren't your main thing, just "learn the ropes" and move on back to your area of expertise. That's the most efficient traversal of the Sum of Human Knowledge: Familiarize yourself with the lay of the land, then focus most of your energy on some place that hasn't been mapped yet.

This is a complex topic!


> you only need to read a handful of books on a single subject to know more about it than most people.

It's easier than that! Just reading (in full) the Wikipedia article about something you probably makes you more knowledgeable than 90% of the general population. Reading a whole book about it -- maybe 99%.


Hi friend, Consider checking out one of these network states: https://thenetworkstate.com/dashboard


A fine doesn’t solve the issue. Could it be the EU is taking their cut? and will repeat for the other techcos every X years?

More like “planning”


in my experience, oura helps you understand how sick you are during a cold, especially if you have a fever


what is the augustine quote he is referencing?


"Grant me chastity and continence, but not yet."

A right knave's prayer, but then Augustine was a right knave until his saintly mother finally set him straight.
