We absolutely have an artificial housing supply shortage, that is induced by homeowners loving 15%+ year over year housing market increases and not wanting the undesirables to move in or be able to afford housing in the first place. It woul

What if it turns out the COVID did come from a lab. Will it still be “hate mongering” the “others” then? Or do we start embargo if the PRC? The left likes to call anything they don’t want to talk about “hate” or “racist” these days. This us

Monetization could be selling training data to big Amazon sellers on sentiment analysis of products. Or they just start whitelisting products, kinda like adblock does the "acceptable ads" we now have acceptable garbageproducts.

Agreed. 2 of my friends dads growing up successfully grew/sold weed back when it was illegal. Noone went to jail, but there was never any mention of how they got money.

The referenced FAQ doesn’t say that google workspace paid accounts are exempt from this policy…

That is...true. Everything google account backed is now wiped from my iPhone. Just got to download the google drive stuff next.

I’m tempted to make a bunch of honeypot accounts just to see how Orwellian and/or gameable their system is. What will trigger it? Fan pages to Trump/Qanon? Antivaxxer propaganda? The German federal police paper on how to clandest

So basically all the credit rating agencies and the government itself? Or does the OPM get sovereign immunity? https://www.lawfareblog.com/why-opm-hack-far-worse-you-imagi...

It’s possible that there were great intentions all around and the COVID leak was a horrible accident. It’s also possible that a PRC agency or individual decided to take advantage of the situation and leak it to try and stick it to the Unit

Does this apply to google workspace (paying)customers too? If so google is actually scanning what is supposed to be private information.

Yeah I misread as median. It would also depend on what bubble one is in, higher net worth could seem more normal.

This is kinda cool. Needs a 144hz display though. That would be the killer feature to differentiate between the switch.

IF millennials only have a 100k net worth at 40 there is no way that they will be able to retire at 65. Hello to working until one dies.

There would be political backlash. But there’s political backlash right now with this program because it’s not universal. If a ubi program is universal that means the wealthy can’t complain that the poor are the only one being it.

Would it not have been easier to just choose people at random from California’s population? Then it would have been actually universal.

This is welfare, not UBI as it is only going to pregnant women and those transitioning out of foster-care. IMO this will taint the ubi experiment overall. Universal means Bill gates and Bezos also receive their $1000/mo…

Why not just decouple health insurance from employment?

We have already realized that it is unprofitable to go to war. What would happen if the USA and PRC China got into a hot war over the ROC Taiwan? That would destroy the economy. Much easier to just insult one another and play games with cu

The following is just an idea, but it would be prudent to consider all possible solutions to this problem before making widespread changes to labor law in this country [USA]… Why do we want to strive for an equal amount of parental leave so

It’s [fire in 30s] doable in the United States in any major city if you follow relatively restrictive schedule and don’t have any kids, not exactly privilege just takes a good amount of discipline. Also salary’s are much higher and taxes ar

This is the clashing of two different life paths ideologies' e.g. the union/public service employee. Of course people will have opinions on this, because they will be somewhat resentful of those on the other side. The elephant in

The defund the policers are getting me to probably vote R in 2022/2024, even though IMO Trump will never be someone I’d vote for, in which case I’ll not vote at all. Democrats should have immediately distanced themselves from this move

This kinda feels like gatekeeping the “defund” movement. When I walk by the 2MM house on Capitol Hill in Seattle with the “yes we actually mean defund the police” it’s just a bunch of misguided upper class people who are too sheltered to re

If this continues it will turn into South Africa where only the wealthy get justice ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_security_industry_in... ). I’m totally fine with police making as much as a software developer

In 3-5 years the pr campaign will start up for some of the younger family members who just donated $$$millions to a local hospital or cancer research center. Then another pr piece on how one of them is an art collector or saving the whales.
