Two points: 1) my uncle has a modest 2 bedroom 1 bath 800sq ft in Daly City (which is cheap compared to SF proper), and he is working on about $3200 a month for rent alone. My 3 bed 2 bath 1300sq ft in a good neighborhood in AZ is $900 a mo

As someone who has a lot of experience in the area, I can tell you the reason I have personally heard the most is that everything is just so expensive that even though you are making 3x what your brother in LA is making, you can only get sl

This article starts on a fundamentally flawed premise, and it made it quite difficult for me to continue. I cannot direct quote because I’m on mobile, but he says “in my country we grew all these grains together, in varying thicknesses, and

I’m trying to stop him from wasting his time. If he wants to make a repository to help the world at large, that is a fantastic idea because there is someone who will read it. But if he wants to do this specifically with regards to passing

The statement is that if he cannot verbally pass that information on and have them get interested/excited, no amount of documenting and cataloging that info is going to make them suddenly want to read it. No level of explanation is goi

Maybe it is wrong of me to say it like this, but it seems like there is a trichotomy in the world of working people. You have people like you, that will voluntarily study their hearts out to find the textbook or proper way to solve things,

I have bursts of works. Some days it seems like there is a never ending stream of bullshit thst keeps me busy, and others I am scrambling to find something to keep me busy so I don’t look like I’m slacking off. I work as a sysadmin and mana

If they’re talking about the quadratic equation, this is likely 8th grade to 10th grade in the US education system. Factoring would be y^2 = 3(ab)^2 + c^2, get y all alone so it’s y = _____

This is fundamentally the wrong answer, and one that is actively harmful to humanity. The “metaverse” is no more healthy to humans than Discord+Gaming. It is literally the same thing: the illusion of community.

I think we all do, to some extent, feel the comfort of being instantly accessible to games and the internet (or whatever online community and hobby we have). Part of the problem is that internet isn’t not a full substitute for in person. It

My advice to you would to be just to do stupid shit you think you probably wouldn’t like. Seriously. We as people in modern society have spent our whole life around the idea that we need to have fun and enjoy everything, if not directly tha

Too be honestly, I feel like society at large causes burnout. I read a very complete account of my grandfathers early life (before he joined the military during WW2) and the kinda shit he did living of a farm is stuff of fairytales. When so

Except for the fact that the reason many markets buy android phones is because they are very budget oriented devices. Go to Mexico, India, China, Eastern Europe, anywhere where the purchasing power isn’t nearly on par with the US and you’ll

The problem with dating sites is that they will always favor the people that don’t “need” them. Say you build a dating site with the goal of helping guys that have had bad luck on other sites meet girls. One of two things will happen: 1) th

If apple would just make iCloud not completely fucking garbage for windows OR support gaming on Mac (even just in the capacity of supporting Vulkan on metal) I would swap today. I’ve used iPhones and Android Phones for so long I can confide

It’s funny because literally the only reason WhatsApp caught on was because companies were gouging the fuck out of SMS costs. If every country did unlimited free talk and text, WhatsApp would be “what? Haven’t heard of that app” instead of

And yet it refuses to actually open source RCS. Imagine if they could add RCS fallback to signal!

The phone is absolutely better. Better battery, nicer looking screen, more solid feel, faster processor, better game performance, better software integration (if you don’t care about customization). The only real downside to someone that is

In 1930-something, my grandfather built a passive radio to use on his family farmhouse without electricity. He ran a wire all the way from the basement (where he happened to get the best signal and for other reasons) all the way to his atti

It is wildly easier to get a mouse to tell the operating system first off that it is a mouse, than it is for the operating system to analyze the mouse and make that determination for itself. Imagine scaling that up to GPUs! The device needs

I’ve always thought it is dumb for the same reason i think WhatsApp is dumb. In Latin America, WhatsApp exists as a way for people to message each other without paying per text, which is very much still a thing down there. In the US, we get

My father is solidly under the impression of these two statements (not judging, just presenting his perspective): 1) if you commit suicide, you go to hell 2) doing anything that knowingly will end your life (as opposed to fighting) is the s

I would gladly pay 3x the price to get TV that had no ads at all. Even if it only had like 30 channels. I can’t even think about all of that content I really care about. Seriously. Have two of each of these channels to provide variety: Left

For it’s time (meaning relative to the US population at that point) MASH is larger than basically every superbowl ever, except for maybe the last couple. I’m not hip on the current viewership numbers, but literally over half of America watc

Maybe we should just parent better. Seriously. If your kid is so young that they can’t figure out if they should or shouldn’t be watching a particular YouTube video on their own, they shouldn’t be on YouTube to begin with.

So what is the real solution here? I have a 2TB SSD in a caddy that I use for most of my stuff, then I have 2 disk RAID 1 array that is only used as periodic backup (only connected to power once a month) as well as having 2TB of cloud stora

When I had my Pixel 2 XL I was constantly amazed at how clear, sharp, and non-muddy the computational photos came out. It was astonishing. I now have a 13 Pro Max and wish that I could just shut off the “water color effect”. I don’t know if
