psh, common misconception. a lot of 19th century physics relied on the idea, but michelson-morely disproved the existence of a EULA in 1887

I understand not all backers may see this update since it could be pulled from the site at anytime, but here are the facts. I also understand it has been a long time since updates, but I only wanted to provide backers with valuable information. You were going to receive either a message of success or one of failure. YOU BE THE JUDGE!

(much, much later)

For all others who keep bashing us and causing countless delays and hardships hopefully this update has at least silenced your senseless barrage. All of the hateful things you say and inaccurate statements you make have nearly destroyed this project. You claim that your creating this chaos to push the project forward and keep us on task. I can tell you your efforts have done nothing but delayed and nearly derailed us. To you I keep silent.

like, it's insane, but i have to admit it's bordering on reasonable from a cost point of view

assuming the dude didn't just move because of whatever actual good reason, having a second non-poverty spec one bedroom apartment in sf is what, 3-4k? his flights cost $2300 + maybe 1k in parking for both ends per month. then it's basically the cost of renting the car vs furnishing an apartment and other incidentals

pretty much the same costs, and doing something like weekdays in sf/weekend in la would seriously tilt the costs in favor of the insane plan

assuming he actually works on the plane, compress his office hours a bit (ideally to avoid peak traffic hours) and it starts making sense

says a lot about the sf real estate market that this bullshit might actually be saving him money

or he could live an hour away from SF in an area where the median house price is less than half that of SF itself, and have a chauffeur drive him in every day, saving him time, money, and his loving sanity
