But eventually the standard unemployment will run out too, right?

by jyrkesh 5y ago
Well...I personally wouldn't want to stop at unemployment benefits, but I'm not trying to make that case here because I understand there's a lot more moving pieces and it's much tougher case to make.

First one is totally valid, and honestly a bit chilling. Not sure why that wasn't obvious to me. The 2nd one seems dubious to me: in my experience, people are moving to remote-friendly jobs from within the US...it doesn't explain

So then how are people paying to survive?

I posted a similar question here[1]. I'm not a GOPer, but I do hold some fairly free market beliefs, so I wanted to answer your question about the general case. I think some of this thinking comes from the fact that there's been a

I'm seeing a lot of "just raise wages" in this thread. The traditional GOP response on something like this is to get rid of the extended and special unemployment insurance programs, and you'd see folks re-enter for minim

FYI, Ctrl+Shift+V works as a paste without formatting shortcut in Teams. But for some reason I can't work out, they chose not to put it in the right-click UI.

This isn't about a service, it's about devices. The Google TV launcher is the de-facto UI for Android TV devices (like my Nexus Player, which is...7 YEARS OLD and now gets ads) and Google/Android TV-powered TVs, which are mad

IANAL, but I think the difference there is that game was standalone and playable without a ROM file. Theoretically, a ROM patch and a bunch of netcode would be legal (though most people would still illegally obtain the ROM to patch). E.g. s

Well, for example, if it ran Gecko like it does on Android, you'd be one step closer to running extensions like uBlock Origin that run fine over on the Android side of the fence. Similarly, you might be able to use a password manager e

As someone who's used Android for a really long time, I've never set out to accomplish something like this. What do you use for it?

2000 series was expensive and underwhelming, and raytracing wasn't really viable in real-time with other graphical settings cranked up. 3000 series is a huge performance boost, reasonably priced (at least at MSRP), and gives comfortabl

Does anyone else remember EPIC 2014? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPIC_2014 I thought it was crazy how many of these turned out to be mostly right (even if the explicit stuff about mergers and lawsuits was wrong)

Surprised to see so many people in this thread who don't want to go back to the office at all, but I do understand. I've been given the flexibility to define my own schedule with regards to when I'm in the office and when I&#

I'm not disagreeing with your assertion (though I do expect it's not as widespread as news articles make it seem), but...why didn't they vote to unionize then? Seems like if the unions said "we'll make sure you get

Oh yeah, I read all that after I started seeing problems, I know I'm in the wrong here. It works just good enough that I haven't addressed it yet (I just kick over the process when things get weird, and the db usually recovers j

I learned this the hard way when I stuck some app containers down on a few RPis and mapped the folder of stateful stuff (including a SQLite database) to an NFS share on my NAS. It's....not great.

Price fixing? You can buy music directly from artists for any price you want. I do it all the time on Bandcamp and independent stores, for both digital and vinyl releases. Piracy set the price at 0, Spotify pulled the price up from there, b

Yeah, I also admin a few topical groups of 10-40 people with a few friends, and the level of engagement I've gotten is insane. I've never had a long-term group chat with so much content sharing, long-form opinions, etc, and I cred

Windows user here: secret chats are not supported on the desktop client at all. That's my only gripe. The rest of the app is incredible, and absolutely the most delightful app I use every day. I cite it often as an example of a native

I think it does beg the question though, of whether it might be possible to dump the Switch OS and firmware and run it on some alternative ARM hardware (with some modifications for redirecting weird custom chips). IIRC the Switch is running

I didn't mean to get caught up on the specifics of electric cars vs. other technological innovations. I clarified a little more over here[1]. As for the decentralization aspect: I think a lot of people in countries outside of the US wo

Yes, but do you think we would have reached the innovations and supply chain capabilities required to make modern electric cars if not for the supply chain build-out of trucks, the commutes of folks researching these technologies, etc. And

You're right in that the stock market and the banking system are not the same thing, but I'd argue that they're intrinsically linked. I move USD from my checking account into my investment accounts in order to buy equities, a

But do you think we ever could have gotten to electric cars if we hadn't used gas-powered cars as a stepping stone? I'd probably agree with you if you were to say that it's taken too long, but I'd argue that the crappy f

Thanks so much for the response! Unfortunately, I'm probably less concerned about the prettiness about more about the ease of install and (maybe) mouse support to fallback to when I'm feeling lazy. I'm looking to avoid learni

It might be blasphemous, but I'd actually love a pretty, distraction-free Markdown editor like this that supports Vim keybindings, but isn't Vim. Am I just being lazy in learning the Vim plugin system? Are there pretty Vim fronten
