The problem here is that they were buying the homes at prices above what they would actually sell for to real buyers and Zillow ended up racking up losses in that way. In your scenario in which two iBuyers outbid each other -- fine, but wou

Some of us get off at 5 and hate the effect on our mental health of always leaving work in darkness/never having any free time in the sunlight.

I was going to the bus stop in the dark even with DST and I didn't even live in the north. First bell was generally 8 AM and you needed to be at the bus stop well before then obviously, especially if you lived in the earliest parts of

In my experience, the vast majority of HOV/carpool lanes are single lanes, although some stretches like the 110 and the 91 are doubled up and are a much better experience. It's hard to believe the 405, of all places, is a single H

I make ~225K (all cash/salary) at a regular/non-FAANG company. The dev team of a couple dozen was in Southern California pre-COVID, now basically all remote with people across the country. I've never worked for a FAANG compan

SMT (currently) provides the telemetry for NASCAR, including 100Hz GPS location data, and those are regularly going >190mph at super speedways. It's not typically erratic but it works very well in any case.

Yes. I'm wearing helmets or masks (motorcycle helmet, full-face balaclavas) that obscure my face all the time and sometimes I just disable FaceID entirely. I don't hate it, I just wish I had both options.

Touché, I remember hearing about such a policy for the first time recently. That certainly could change the value proposition quite a bit!

I don't know the rules but the aircraft on the ground should have the right of way since they're nowhere near as maneuverable as the airborne plane? At least it seems that way to me. That said, I wouldn't want to approach, la

IMO this is a big factor but it really depends on the absolute value. Two low-income earners is not going to make a big difference, but two middle- or high-income workers is going to be a substantial improvement, although they still need to

As a developer, I really have a love-hate relationship with Dynamo. I love how fast and easy it is to setup and get rolling. The partitioning scheme came off as confusing and opaque but I think that says more about Amazon's documentati

That's an understandable concern you have IMO. As with anything, the solution should fit the problem. Those aren't issues for us but I can empathize with the concern with adding more external services. In our case, we actually tri

I have a couple of anecdotes here. I was paid $3/hour when the state's minimum wage was around $8/hour (NC, 2010 or so) and the employer did make up those hours where it was < $8/hour with tips, although that was exce
