Comparatively to the increase in house prices, rents have definitely stabilized. It is now clearly better to rent in most of the US than buy an equivalent house. Use the rent or buy NYT calculator

Except that you don't have a 5:1 leverage, not even close once you account for the fees. The math is surprising. I recommend the NYT Rent or Buy calculator. There is also absolutely zero chance that you will get a 22.5% chance return o

How much did you "make" on your investment once you account for the ton of fees that are involved in housing though? If your house doesn't go up at least 5% a year, you are already losing money once you account for HOA, insur

Do we really have a housing deficit? If you look at prices they indeed go up because nobody wants to sell and too many people have been wrongly convinced that buying is always a good idea. If you look at rent on the other hand it has stabil

Am I the only one that hates what the internet became? All HTTP APIs that are all made to interact with JSON.

That's because their woman advocacy is really a not-so-hidden lobby to have woman making more money under the pretense of equal representation in all jobs.

The skills required to become an exec are a lot of pitching yourself and networking to the right person to get your next job. Those skills are only slightly correlated with how good you actually are as an exec. Add to this that most compani

Not drinking Tesla Koolaid != Spreading Tesla FUD. Tesla Fanboys will always amaze me.

Unfortunately anything Musk adjacent will result in people absolutely defending Musk against all factual basis or the complete opposite.

anyone spending 20k$ on a handbag lost all touch with reality.

Yeah. Founding engineers are drinking the koolaid narrative from the founders. I know I have been in the past.

In my 20s I joined a couple startups as "early engineer" or "founding engineer". I quickly realized those are the absolute worst positions to be in. You take almost as much risk as the founders but almost none of the ups

Who would seriously trust Facebook/Meta with any internal proprietary data? I'm sure the product must be OK but they did this to themselves by completely disregarding basic privacy.

For all the hype around this announcement I was expecting more than some demo-level stuff that close to nobody will use in real life. Disappointing.

Cannabis research is highly politicized. Researchers go in that field with an agenda. That's at least my experience with that field. Most weed users will nitpick research that shows weed is safe and good for you while most detractors w

Thanks! Will look it up. I was worried as it seems a lot of those ultra low cost carriers are heavily throttled. Never saw that with Mint.

by goalonetwo 2y ago
Mint is great. Have been with them for 5 years. Has been flawless. I have 30$/month unlimited plan. Yeah, this looks like it will start the enshitification process. Not sure where to go next. Don't really want to go back to a 100$

Not sure why you are being downvoted but this is absolutely true. A diet can only be looked back after a couple month of rests

okay so 419 is now psychedelic and 420 is weed. We are in for a long weekend.

I follow @dvassallo for a long time. Everything start making sense once you realize that he his using his twitter as a way to funnel customers to his other ventures. I love a lot of his takes because they make me think but it is clear that

Who decided that they became the de-facto default for video hosting? They have terrible policies (censorship) and nobody should trust Google. Sorry, no, paying for this "service" would be the same as paying the mafia for their pro

you would be amazed at what bigtech cogs are ready to do once their paychecks depend on Ads.

We also don't talk enough about the mental impact of living in one of the worst weather on the planet. Every other day is rainy, dark and foggy.

Paying for YT Premium encourages them to continue what they are doing.

by goalonetwo 3y ago
That's exactly how I feel as well. I don't want them to be the default but here we are. And I'm definitely not going to pay which would encourage/send the signal that this is what we want.
56.
by goalonetwo 3y ago
Yes. I'm fine with them dying and a better company taking over that I would then support.

by goalonetwo 3y ago
I would love to do that but unfortunately Network effect means that a lot of creators don't upload their video anywhere else. It is unfortunately becoming the default for everything. I paid for Vimeo and other services in the past. But

SmarTube works amazingly well. I expect them to circumvent those limitations as usual. I see it as a morale duty to not watch ads and also not pay an ethically dubious company like Google. They are free to try to stop me but I'm also f

by goalonetwo 3y ago
Yeah exactly. There is no good solution here as in order to have a SIMPLE platform, you need to really reduce the amount of use-case you support to a couple options only. The reality is that every single company I have worked for has a ton

I read the whole thing and I'm not sure I understand what IS the point except that things are too complex? A whole lot of words for not a lot of content.
