Ah, I love birds. Story time that's somewhat sequitur to this. When I moved to Oregon I moved just North of a 600+ acre nature reserve. My property has numerous 40+ ft tall trees and plenty 10-20+ ft trees. The closest body of water is

Particularly academics use the language the author used. It narrows who is severely affected by a lack of privacy to small groups. It's akin to the folks who say, "Privacy? I have nothing to hide!" The reality is that as th

You're probably right. When I was in the Bay I met a lot of people who would've lived in single unit housing who split mansions and single family homes with other people. In Texas I don't remember seeing much if any SROs. I&#

Apologies to you too, I should've said corporate landowners. I think that mostly puts us in agreement, though I don't think developers are the problem. It's property managers seeking to maximize profit that are more the probl

Apologies, I wasn't implicating you. Landowner could've been better expressed as corporate landowners. They're the ones that own the most residential real estate in large cities, which are generally the only places having thi

We've done that for a long time and it doesn't change the outcome. You either pay exorbitant rates for them to sit in jail or you pay exhorbitant collective insurance rates. Worse off cities will usually incentivize those people t

Does one not solve the other though? If it does, that seems to make them mutually exclusive. My personal conspiracy theory, and I admit it's a conspiracy theory, is that corporate land owners are the ones centering popular conversation

A monseigneur was in charge of the school and it was registered with the diocese as a parochial school with a church attached. I assure you that it was Roman Catholic. You can stop questioning that now. Catholic history, canon, etc were all

Sure, I agree that it's dogma within the church, that's why I mentioned the Holy Trinity. The holy trinity wasn't known to Jesus at the time of his life or death. It became apparent that he, the holy spirit, and god were the

I'd like to point out that developers are likely exposed to more subscription costs than most average people. This or that tool is $5/m, hosting is $80 (or you run your own server, of which the electricity usage is constant), GitH

I think flow state is triggered by focus, bodily control, and a deep knowledge of what is required to achieve a task. For instance, "flow toys" in the music scene are exactly for this. They require precision movements and focus to

There's an obvious solution here, which is to stop participating on platforms that are ad-funded. Charging user subscriptions and fees to businesses should be sufficient to cover costs. If it's not, maybe it shouldn't exist.

I think the author has a point, but not the point they were trying to make. The love for the word meritocracy in tech came from a culture of optimism. Optimism affected each layer of the system differently. Executives loved these kinds of o

The article also mentions where you may want to move and lists Portland. I live out here; there are next to no tech companies here. You'll need to get a remote job if you want to make that kind of money.
