Right, and I think we shouldn't even be talking about a fake ass "living" wage when it's so disconnected from what you actually need to reliably "live" in these environments. I don't know who comes up with

As long as collusion exists, I don't see this changing. Manhattan is more expensive than it was a 100 years ago but less people actually live there now. Not a little less either - 700,000 people less. We've built way more housing

A living wage shouldn't be based upon what wages a student could be comfortably living on for a couple years before they get their $500k/yr new grad quant job. It should be based upon what people could live on comfortably indefini

I'm going to base it off of the peninsula (San Mateo County) in the Bay Area for a single person. https://livingwage.mit.edu/counties/06081 By my estimations, it's not a great calculator. $2.5k/month for

Yeah, doing shitty things while “donating” a bunch of money to make your legacy look really good is a classic move throughout history. These guys don’t want to be remembered for the awful behaviors they had in their personal and business li

Can you explain the 8B YOY increase in higher education for 23-24 to 24-25? It doesn't add up anywhere in the subcategories either. It's just magically 8B higher. It actually went down 0.4B if you add the subcategories. A giant re

The problem is that it does represent a lot of people in America. A very vocal and active part of America. It’s not some tiny demographic either. It doesn’t represent the majority but the majority doesn’t vote, doesn’t take action, and is o

Sounds like a guy who doesn’t enjoy the internet or cellphones. Shit, my grandparents never owned a computer, paid for internet, had cable tv, etc. Are they suspicious of the government? No, just poor and uninterested.

Hated this shit in NYC too. It's a fucking blight. Nothing but people spray painting their IG handles trying to become a clout goblin. Ads everywhere. Can't even look down.

Why are people complaining about this? It's not even that high of an amount compared to several other developed nations. It's not a recent trend either. It's been going on for over 30 years. No one here seems to care about th

It doesn’t matter. It’s about looking for candidates who have put in the time for your stupid hazing ritual. It signals on people who are willing to dedicate a lot of time to meaningless endeavors for the sake of employment. This type of in

Inherently all companies working under capitalism are behaving unethically. There is no ethical consumption or production in capitalism. What’s your point?

Yeah, such a weird comment. A 911 Turbo S is over $300k now. This car used to be low 200s for a well optioned one. They're taking some kind of Nvidia strategy where they just charge more money for the new generation rather than making

Only been hearing that for twenty years and these tech giants are bigger than they’ve ever been. I remember when people said Open Office was going to be the default because it was open source, etc etc etc. It never happened. Got forked. Sti

How much of this is specific to Chinese and not just part of the general visa woes and lack of federal funding for programs now? I know that grad school is the main way for Chinese to get into the US but seems like it’s a bit sensational of

I don’t think it’s this. I’ve lived in NYC recently and people there don’t have tolerance for shit behaviors either and you’re surrounded by people all the time. It’s due to people having higher standards than before and being bifurcated on

This comment will get buried in the sea of individual responses here since I am too late. But for the dumpster divers, here is my contribution! 1. People have obscenely high standards for social interaction. If this person is not an outlier

It’s weird how people don’t recognize that most of these companies started with American founders who then decided to use exploitative labor policies including collusion then slowly became more and more detached - and hired other people to

Yep. It also depends on types of goals you have and stage of life. I can safely say as someone who FIRE’d in his early 30’s that it doesn’t matter how much money you have because women are very adverse to a man who isn’t working. Mind you,

This isn't true. Republicans love illegal immigration because you can underpay people and avoid a lot of regulation. It is trivial to implement e-verify for employment for everyone. It would nearly eliminate illegal workers. If Republi

I exercised for years. I’m talking multiple hours a day. It was a part time job. It never improved my mood. Some people don’t suffer from chemical imbalances, unhealthy habits ruining their mood, or whatever your snake oil will magically cu

If you think that’s ability then you should see what my whole life has been. Pain from exercise is a joke in comparison.

Nah, it’s actually a studied thing. Exposure therapy can work for some subjects but it’s quite controversial due to it quickly becoming “trauma therapy”. It can easily reinforce someone’s existing beliefs and make someone actually weaker an

People talk about this with exercise and I’ve never understood it. As someone who has exercised continuously for years - it has never gotten better. Which, to me, makes sense because you’re supposed to always be pushing yourself. You’re not

A lot of people are also assuming intentional malice here when incompetence/lack-of-care is the main issue. If people saw how things are done at Meta, you wouldn’t be surprised. A lot of the stuff is functionally broken due to a lack o

Net negative. People keep using AI slop and are driven by shitty metrics from the top to use AI as much as possible. It leads to the entire codebase being garbage. I blame the higher ups. Everyone is just doing their job and has no room to
