In Berkeley, unless eating junk from a fast food, you're talking 20-25$/person/meal for a normal place. More like 40-50$ for a "nice" place. Even the fast food crap you'll be above 10$ unless you eat 4 chicken

That's 5$/meal which is very low for Berkeley, even for groceries (unless you eat ramen).

You don't need $5M to be "safe" in the Bay Area. You do need some money - enough to afford to get a mortgage on a place to stay - but once you get past that, things get easier. The thing is, it takes money to start making mon

We'd be in a much worst situation if the farms didn't produce the food they do. The entire continent would face food shortage, and the world's economy would be hit. Just see what happened when Ukraine's farms got knocked

Home prices will fall if rentals fall, otherwise no one will want to sell and low market supply will keep prices where they care. But with rising interest rates, sustained demand for rental can be expected.

It's not the point but I just thought it's useful to bring up. I disagree with you about your statement that civilizations must have this property (a pillar) you claim they have. All kind of civilizations didn't/don&#x27

I've been dreaming of building this for myself (when I one day have time to do so) and seeing this is very exciting. I'll give it a shot and pay for it if it works well! Feature request: make this an Electron app so I can actually

I find this a very insightful application of the concept of colours to look at the problems of mixing code meant to run on slightly different and subtly incompatible runtimes, within the same code base, without calling out this distinction

Strange argument to switch to. If your day to day life is better because you live near where you eat and work and obtain healthcare and what not, isn't sort of hard to argue against? Where's the downside to this efficiency? It loo

You portray it as being some capricious choice by entitled brats, but ignore that there's economic and efficiency advantages for society to have more centrally located workforce and services.

It at least worked so far in preventing another Korean war. It didn't topple the Kim regime, but South Korea is mostly safe now.

Candidly, do you mind flushing out what you mean here by a fairly predictable outcome given the situation?

I'm assuming this is by design to keep the US population "on their toes" and at work doing productive things. Otherwise why would it be tied to employment?

That's a strange take, since I personally see space tech as a useful endeavour, versus ... ad-tech, building yet another chat app, social network apps, another financial service, another way to sell eyeballs, another way to scam people

Really? After filling the form online, I just went to an AME that I booked and got out of there after perhaps an hour, certificate in hand.

Iain Banks' "Surface Detail" would like to have a word with you. This author's books are great at putting these sort of moral ideas to test in a sci-fi context. This specific tome portraits virtual wars and virtual &quot

This or not, having a house is pretty far away from "misery" in my book. At least you've got a roof over your head and no landlord to price you out of your home into the streets.
