On Airbnb there is one price displayed on the map (the daily rate), then when you click on a place, the fees are added and the price changes. But that still doesn't include tax and local fees which add more to the price when you go to

In a lot of places, bikers aren't required to be all the way to the right. It's often more safe to be visible in the middle of the lane rather than be on the right with people passing you with unsafely small amounts of space and t

I tried to do all of that, got rid of my car a couple years ago, live in one of the best cities in the US for public transit outside of NYC, and am constantly frustrated. I'm still glad I don't have a car right now but trying to f

That's a good assessment on the choices you can pay for. I also think about how likely it is that the carrier will cancel or delay the flight, will it be a mess to get my money back if the flight gets cancelled or changed (even if the

The legal protections on hourly workers aren't enforced in the US or are skirted around by making hourly employees contractors. Professionals would like some of the protections but only if they are actually enforced.

As an IC you can't tell other teams managers or higher ups or PMs to fuck off if they call you directly and tell you they think what you are doing isn't good. Or if they ask for unreasonable stuff. At least without fear of getting

I kind of agree and would like to try selfhosting stuff for myself, but in the future where should the self hosting lie? Not everyone can self host (your mother, cousin, etc, people with disabilities, etc) So if it is the future, would lev

What do you mean by "last time I looked at ANY trade, they are begging women to come WORK."? By looking at trades, do you mean look at a website claiming to want women to work in them? The PR/advertising spins on jobs don&#

Is your goal actually to burn calories or to lose weight? If it is to lose weight, focusing more on your eating habits is probably higher value than exercise. Exercise is good for feeling better and burning some calories, but it's pr

You might feel differently about it after a while. I did CS and programming, but the first few years I had impostor syndrome and didn't enjoy it and thought I wouldn't hack it in the industry. The job search process used to real

There might be a good framework that I'm not aware of, I think you have a good question. But some of it is probably not learning and setting up frameworks for stuff until a problem has become a bottleneck. Ask your customers (consumer

A take home is unreasonable because it's a large time investment for low reward for homework that takes more than an hour. I've never got feedback when I've been rejected at that stage, and when I've made it to later sta

You are assuming only the wealthy should drive politics. The employee driven politics is happening because they don't have money to shape politics and this is the only way they see of having an effect. Not saying it is good, but the id
