Isn't this a very US-centric view? I mean, Airbnb operates worldwide.

So in other words, someone can rent out a property for a small portion of time on airbnb, while living it in the rest of the time, and yet count everything spent on it as a deductible business expense?

I wonder what are the stats on repairs of electric cars... Maybe part of the problem is that few people want to train for car mechanics knowing that work for most of them will run out mid-career because electric cars are nearly maintenance-

Thoroughly irrelevant. If there were conditions for a devastating fire it was only a matter of time before it started, it doesn't matter who started it. If no one did, add one more year and more combustible material will have piled up

Aren't job being lost simply because Trump deports workers, and many run away by themselves fearing being deported?

How does Airbnb provide a tax shelter? Also aren't they all doing "buy, borrow, die" thing so don't need a tax shelter?

Thank you! I kind of understood that from those mountains one could see really far away, but had no idea it was THAT far.

It's totally different one. The most efficient bureaucracy i can imagine. You never have to see any people at all apart from when you take your biometrics. There are fixed review times and if they are missed, your document is automatic

"AI" is what happened when Nvidia realised people got tired of crypto and GPUs no longer sell as well, and they urgently needed a new market to support growth...

There are plenty of places in EU with no income tax on business income. At least if you are a foreigner. Cyprus, Portugal, Spain, and probably more. Some countries have lump-sum income tax on foreign business income, like Greece (100K EUR p

Simply, if Israelis unilaterally decide to do whatever they please to Palestinians, who has the physical capability to stop them?

I can agree it happens, but i wonder if it will not eventually destroy these platforms as users are turned away? Even if there are no better platforms to turn away to (say no better social media now that FB, TikTok, and X are all shit), jus

If you believe those stats, Germans are the laziest nation in Europe while Greeks are the most hardworking lmao. Do you believe it?

Legislators sure because their asses depend on it. But common people? And this is the worst perversion of democratic principles in America and if people were even halfways rational they'd go full rage over. But no one seems to give a d

To legalise overtime for the few highly qualified employees that are worth it. Now it's just illegal to ask them to work more. And public sentiment is deeply irrational as always. Like in the US, why do people continuously battle over

In Greece, people barely work at all, and work ethic is nonexistent. Getting and keeping a job is about relatives, political loyalty, and personal connections, all real work is done by 'losers' who have nothing of that but their w

Sadly, there's nowhere to run from the US really, unless you already hit FIRE (or simply retired which after a certain age, is the same thing). Incomes elsewhere pretty much suck and benefits they might offer (such as lower crime, free

That's only because everyone and their dog now get a useless degree... People should be discouraged from education that's above their ability, no one needs so many graduates. 25-55 employment vs population is now highest on record

Give men a manly job they strive for and deserve: Army service. Expand armed forces and military industry, paid for by increased taxes, to absorb all young men who can find neither work nor spouse. And just go on conquest, to expand the lim

That's not about wages, but labor force participation. What changed around 1979 was that workers who were freed up due to automation, were employed in lower paid service roles that's why wages stopped following productivity. But t

I debug a lot. LLM tools still can't figure how to use a debugger. That's about it. I'm sure they will soon.

I have reworked a lot of code i built myself with AVX2 and Neon, to become much better, more maintainable and faster too, with LLMs.

Eerily China has an advantage here because only reason anyone will come there is to make money: no one will ever seek Chinese citizenship. So they can dole out those cards easily without any concerns for being 'replaced' even as t

I sometimes identify as "ex-programmer" these days, just because whatever coding i could do is now irrelevant due to LLMs, but this isn't entirely honest. Programming was never my job. My job was "convincing people to tr
