Rent went down because people left, and they did because (1) remote work is way bigger than before and (2) housing price are still incredibly high. I suspect that is the SF housing prices were not that high to begin with, not that many peop

Different markets can behave wildly differently. Not just different states/cities but different kind of homes too (appartment vs single family, size, standing, etc). So talking about the overall market always hides big differences in e

No, all the bloggers I was reading on the old web were paying for their hosting a few bucks a month and no VC were involved. Some of them included ads but they were mostly in a sidebar.

I live in a French neighborhood with multiple races (mostly white+arabic+black) and it's very safe, children play outside be themselves and no parent or neighbor ever care.

Many people (including me) use static generation with a fancy build process because we find it fun, not to save time or money. I honestly find it more fun to setup my blog than writing content for it... Which might be a problem. (And also e

Just like Microsoft in the 90's, they're too powerful and one consequence is that they can get away with inefficiencies and slacking. Like a landlord who doesn't work because he's getting rent money every month, and don&

There is a lot of manual work in ChatGPT to prevent exactly that, and make sure it always only spits out politically correct answers.

This will only happen if Microsoft also pushes game developers towards ARM64. You're talking about Rosetta but Rosetta is a transition period. If the Steam Deck is the only device to run on ARM64, and game developers keep providing onl

I don't know about Vietnamese but you can really make a parallel between Korean and Japanese. Korean was using kanji the same way Japanese are using them now, and Japan could totally switch to hiragana only like Korea went for hangul.

I don't think we should shame people for not speaking the language of the country they live in, however it's important to stress that you're really missing out when you don't speak the local language. It will vary a lot

I see that as a tool, I'm not sure why it's presented as "AI being the lawyer". You're allowed to represent yourself in court, most of the time (and for parking ticket I'm pretty sure) you have no obligation to

Yes, they feel like all the stories I asked ChatGPT to write. They are all very bland, and sound like someone is making a summary of the story rather than reading the story itself. So I think it's great to get ideas of a plot for a sto

The saving isn't that obvious because they might need to hire contracters (sometimes even the same worker) to make up for the lost workforce. Also severance packages are expensive! In addition to all the costs associated with a big lay

The question isn't that much "why don't we accept all travel visas" but "why don't we accept all immigrants". People are talking about the "risk that they stay" like it's something bad to ha

That's not how ranks are supposed to work, this list is dumb. If two countries are #2 there should be no #3 and skip directly to #4.

1. Immigrants are a net positive for the welfare state because you don't have to pay for their education and all their young years where they don't produce anything. They come ready to work and pay taxes. 2. Expats who only speak

We hear about hugely successful small teams because they made it and became famous. We don't hear about all the small teams who either fail, or keep a small (yet self-sustaining) revenue without ever becoming hugely successful. So list

I think it used to be much more common in feodal Japan, not just for business owners but also in noble or samurai families to continue the "house".

I don't know if it's still a thing, but in Japan some business owners with no heir used to adopt adults for them to take over the business. It's like you said, starting as an apprentice, and if the owner trust him enough he&#

Web applications don't all have to be Single Page Apps. That's where most of the unnecessary complexity comes from. Unneeded SPA.

It's not just about sacrificing your standard of living, it's that you won't find a smaller, well organized 2 bedrooms in US. Unless you buy a studio and remodel it yourself (which is quite expensive).

The home you live in is not an investment, you should not see it as one. If the $ value of your house goes down, you can still live it in just fine. If you want to move, and the overall market is down, you will sell your house for less but

The Bay Area was crowded already but for the last 10 years (until maybe the pandemic) all new companies have been flocking to SF. It doesn't make it any better.
