I think a lot of people in this situation are turning to Airbnb. I've seen so many now listings where I can tell, the property is 100% investment and that the owners haave never lived there.

The article is worth a read. It's well written and has a few puns. Much better than most bland news articles.

Forget a military response, we'd just have to actually do a good job of stopping drugs from coming into our country and slash their profits severely.

This is true in various countries. Relatives have asked me to buy electronics in the US when traveling to see them because of high import taxes.

What I'm curious about is the marketing. Why call it lox instead of smoked salmon?

I agree with you on that Windows -> Linux doesn't have much appeal. I tried it 2-3 times and gave up because Linux was not user friendly enough. However, I will say that Windows -> Mac is pretty awesome. IMO, the main benefits we

Switching windows is just one thing regarding multitasking though. Are there others regarding multitasking? One thing I have found for myself is that the keyboard shortcuts on Mac tend to be more uniform among all the different programs. I&

I think no one has mentioned bioengineers. We're going to be programming life in the future and will need engineers to design and create new biological things.

Wow, so this is why the marketing departments exists. I thought this was related to actual plasmas TVs lol. Looks pretty cool though. I'm keen on open source privacy minded software I can run on my TV. Currently, I have Kodi and it wou

Pure speculation on my part, but I sense the media is trying to gaslight everyone so if the economy dumps in the next few months, companies can fire a ton of people and have a good excuse for it. "Well, these people weren't doin

I agree with this 100%. As other commenters have pointed out, there is a difference between getting work done and actually building relationships. It's very possible to get high quality work done remotely, but relationship-wise, it&#x2

Just be sure to get your soil tested. Ars had an article recently about urban backyard chickens making eggs with lots of lead in them due to soil pollution.

Too much power, too much heat, not bright enough in showrooms to compete against LED TVs even though objectively, plasmas had better quality than LED tvs. I have a 720 Samsung plasma circa 2011 that looks better than cheap 1080p LED from a

I looked into traveling within the US as a DN, but decided against it because of the costs. Unless I wanted to be in rural America, it was frequently 2K to 3K a month to rent a standard run of the mill 1-2 bed AirBnB. As someone who has tra

I've got a sneaking suspension this is being caused indirectly by our society's increasing inability to focus. I'll stop short of blaming gen Z here since I have not seen the data. I will note they are coming of driving age.

You forget a lot of colleges are businesses. That stuff is just too expensive, they won't do it. Also, failing too many students looks bad as well, so they won't enforce anything too seriously.

I faced the same choice when at a very young age I realized I was not neurotypical. Just like the hikkomoris, I have made an active choice to not be like the others and while that costs me dearly in some aspects of my life, it has definitel

I think the biggest issue with migrants is just the lack of wanting to learn and understand the local culture they are moving to. Americans moving to Mexico should really look to learn Spanish, much like Mexicans moving to America should le

Something not mentioned is the huge sums of VC money spent on marketing in an attempt to blitzkrieg a vertical, even if the underlying code is crap, it will be hard to overtake a company if they own 80% of the market.

I agree, pay them more. Nowadays, the best "bonus" is switching jobs.

I would never buy a counterfeit book as this price point. But absolutely would for overpriced college books. Most of those books were a giant scam. Buy this year's edition for $300, sell them back to the college bookstore for $40 becau

I'm sure reviewers' "advertising partners" are none too happy to have another machine outperform their x86 machines so badly as to tacitly imply that no one should buy them. The reviewers need to pay their bills. It&#x2

Couldn't agree more. It seems the only way you can really land a nice job here is to know someone just to get into the interview. I applied for many places as entry level and only landed 1 interview. Eventually applied at another lar

I've had very few issues with AirBnb. My process is as follows: 1. Heavily prefer Superhost 2. Never be among the first guests at a new property unless there's a heavy discount. 3. Stay away from professionally managed hosts or ho

I'm very curious as to which locations people have gotten their AirBnBs cancelled? I've booked about 20+ AirBnBs (most SuperHost and most in LATAM) and have only had hosts cancel on me 2 times. Both right after I booked them and n

Pretty sure the agency is well aware of this fallacy, which is no doubt why they treated this guy so well in the very beginning.
