This is the type of detailed reply that I come here for, and definitely has reframed how I think about this situation. Thank you!

You're right, and I feel like this is something that is frequently either downplayed or willfully ignored. If I live in California where home prices are sky-high, and I've saved up for nearly a decade for a house, why would I be w

Thankfully you can use Oculus devices (or at least, the Quest) with the new Link feature to turn the headset into a sort of external display, which is then compatible with SteamVR. Honestly it's the biggest selling point of the Quest f

You definitely pay taxes on a sold property (capital gains, like stock), assuming your profit is over $250k, like this example. Prop 13 doesn't affect that.

Why should someone who bought $100k of Apple stock get $2m years later?

Where are you seeing "a lot of inflation"? The inflation rate in the US has been pretty low for the past decade or so, relative to history. Source: https://www.thebalance.com/u-s-inflation-rate-history-by-yea...

It's possible to both think their branding of "autopilot" is irresponsible, and also think that they make great cars, self-driving tech aside. As a side note, there's an article every time someone is killed in a Tesla, b

"oppression in the name of a more just society" Sounds an awful lot like the worst parts of the 20th century.

If you're planning on holding it long-term, absolutely. If you're planning on holding it short-term, good luck catching the falling knife.

Same. I primarily use a desktop for gaming these days, but also do iOS development. My dream machine would be a Mac Mini with an eGPU. I'm looking to do a gaming rig rebuild soon, and was excited to see a new Mac Mini before I made my

Interesting! I wasn't aware that Ubiquiti even made cameras. I'll check them out. Thanks!

I was recently looking for some security cameras for my house. I was considering Nest, but the fact that they are owned by Google makes me a bit weary, privacy-wise. Does anyone have experience with other brands that you might recommend?

Former Kentuckian here. I moved out to California shortly after college, partly due to the exact reasons you described. There's simply no parallel job-wise to west coast tech jobs in Kentucky, including my hometown of Louisville. I kno

Ok thanks, I think I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you meant that he went on record saying something like "I'm perpetuating gender stereotypes". Instead, it looks like he's just confirmed that Google th

Do you have a source of him confirming it? Genuinely curious. I'm just going off of his interview with Joe Rogan.

TL;DR: Some nannies, house cleaners, and elder care workers don't have access to, or know how to effectively use, a smart phone. As a result, they're left out of apps that help you find a nanny, or some other type of domestic work

As far as I know, this is still under active investigation, at least by the Chinese space program. NASA (or some subsidiary) confirmed that they were testing it as recently as two years ago, but I can't find anything more recent than t

There are a few churches like this out there today. Sadly the idea of "going to church" is so foreign or looked-down-upon these days that few people actually try it out. And eventually the churches die.

Could you explain what you mean? I’m genuinely curious if Apple has taken an anti-privacy stance. From what I can tell, they’re the best tech giant for user privacy. They’ve fought the FBI in court to not put in a government backdoor to unl

This is the 21st century equivalent to burning books.

Why not an iPhone? At least Apple seems to care about privacy, and they aren't an ad-tech company like Google or FB.

Is this supposed to compete more with Sonos, or with Google Home / Alexa? I can't tell. I have a Sonos setup for my home and I absolutely love it. The sound quality is great, and the Play:1 speakers are less than half the price of

I surf with mine all the time. Are you using the mount that came with the camera, or the actual surf mount that they sell? The actual surf mount comes with a leash that you can tie to the camera. You can also attach one of those orange floa

Ok, just started it. I'm ABSOLUTELY FLOORED. Like, to the point where I' debating selling my gaming PC if I can get a better internet connection to reduce the input lag a bit. But even with that, the input lag is barely noticeable

If that were true, why aren't sharks the most intelligent beings on the planet? They've been around in more-or-less their current form since the dinosaurs were around. Intelligence (as far as we know) requires a brain, which requi

Welcome to the California housing market. It's very difficult to buy anything under $400k in any of the larger cities, even something like a two bedroom condo.
