If you compare equally sized places, rent is pretty much always higher. At least it has been in every city/town I’ve ever lived in. Renting is not cheap, you’re paying a premium to the landlord.

Landlords bake those costs into the rent price.

Rents are pretty much always going to be higher than a mortgage for the equivalent housing. It's why people are landlords. He dances around that in the article by saying that people buy "nicer" places than they rent, but that

If you're young and you buy, you could get roommates and have them pay rent. That would definitely tilt the benefits heavily to buying.

> People obsess over granite countertops, open floor plans, stainless steel appliances, and walk in closets. These might make you happy but they don’t make you rich. Money is a means to an end, and being happy is a fine end. I only l

I ssh in from my phone, which works pretty well.

We would have no idea what was going on in Gaza if it wasn't for social media. It really exposed how biased (which probably isn't even a strong enough word) our msm is.

That's not media, it's communication with people you know.

Without social media, we'd be left with mainstream media, which is a very narrow set of channels that those in power can control. Despite rampant censorship on social media, it's still the best way to circumvent propaganda and giv

Why is that? Some irony as well that you're posting anonymously. Are you comfortable giving us your identification right now?

That's so fun! It brings back the excitement and nostalgia of home computing in the 90s. It's also pretty useful and I buy the justification for why it's helpful.

The truth is I don't check everything along the way! That's part of my high scale, I can now work on a dozen projects instead of a couple because I'm freed up from having to read all of the code. A huge shift in mindset for s

The trick is that you have to be a good coder to get the most out of "vibe" coding. It works great for me, but I deploy all of the knowledge I've acquired over the decades as a professional developer. You need to know how to

I've never used their models, but I love that design. Kudos to the Mistral design team, the modern pixel art look with orange colors is very cool.

I'm surprised they don't even mention vimtutor. It's preinstalled on every machine with vim (to the best of my knowledge). This seems like a cool project, but might as well give a shout-out to the original concept.

The claim was that Musk's companies will "win" though, and they aren't (aside from the irrational valuation). Maybe Space X is winning, but Tesla is a minor player in the auto market with declining revenue.

I have never seen stats showing that FSD is "rapidly improving". Quite the contrary, it seems hobbled by its backward hardware and plateaued in terms of progress.

That's not how things have played out with Tesla. They have all the investment in the world and the most irrational valuation to have ever graced the public markets, yet their tech is years behind competitors.

Very dystopian for a mega corporation to use the FBI to crack down on protests against the mass surveillance and genocide of Palestinians. I remember people saying that the book IBM and the Holocaust was an important ethical lesson for our

Interestingly the original Napster was a pretty good social network! I really liked being able to browse through all of a user's shared files. We should bring something like that back.

There has to be a payoff though. BitTorrent is actually pretty hard to get working correctly, track down the torrent files... people do it because it's the only way to get some content and a way to get content you'd otherwise have
