Renter here, and we have a huge problem with housing up here as well. However, I don’t understand why would any level of the government would want to act in any way that can significantly decrease housing prices. Super-majority of people ow

Replaced by YouTube podcasts, feels like they’re consolidating all entertainment under YT brand.

Totally agreed, it really depends on the case. I’ve been user of both types of products where I value extreme correctness (think of anything financial, or core software that I want to never crash like a browser), but also really don’t care

Realistically the build will fail, but since QAs used some action capturing thing, devs will have to either recapture the same flow or delegate it back to QA. Now you have the pipeline blocked, QAs most likely working on some other stuff so

Absolutely hellish to maintain once you get into territories of different localization, A/B testing, engineering teams that constantly change small things in UI (for valid reasons). I think it might work on a product that changes once

Also grew up with unrestricted internet access, I recall everyone in middle/high school sharing LiveLeak links through MSN. Sure, it desensitized us, maybe “survivor bias”, but if I quickly think of everyone I know, we’ve all ended up

Yeah, it’s always funny to explain it to outsiders, but I wish it was ubiquitous everywhere. Every time I think about moving away one of the things that pops up in my head is — “ah, but I will miss dt Costco!”.

Vancouver, Canada!

Having a Costco downtown and 15 minute walk from me is the best experience a human can get. I just stroll to get one item when I have nothing better to do.

Supermajority of people would probably enjoy 4-day work week, but there needs to be a giant push from the labour side. All the needs of "big companies" and such theoretically could be ignored, if such supermajority stuck together,

For the responsibility they’re undertaking, I would be happy for them to get paid even more and retire at 45.

Sorry, I missed this comment! Here's how I usually talk with my friends who are also fluent in English, Russian and Turkish, I think it would be a better example: Ne smotra na fact that tomorrow bir o kadar da sunny diyildir, bilo bi h

At least the leaf blowers happen during the day. I live in a very dense neighbourhood, and it's a running joke among neighbours in the local FB groups. That being said, the (on purpose) loud motorcycle and car crowd honestly deserves t

Tolerance in these terms are like "I would never let my kid to be gay, but others, fine whatever". And that still comes in a range from "get thrown stones at for holding hands with another dude" to "allowed to give

Vancouver here as well, agreed about pros, I’ll add the best summer weather in a city environment (not humid, warm/hot). You don’t need a car to get around other than going for hikes and mountains either, which is neat. For cons — woul

I can't refute such statement, because in my opinion encountering a real kitty in the nature is better. Not everything is black and white (like some kittens!) in this scenario. In my mind I would rank these experiences in such way: 1.

by kredd 3y ago
I wouldn’t call it post-scarcity, since kitten pics have never been hard to find. But the idea of “someone chasing their cat to sit for a second to take a cute pic” is what warms my heart. I know, art blah blah, but without “behind the scen

Hm, think of things like “On va bruncher” (we’re going to brunch). The word “brunch” doesn’t exist in french, but we add suffixes to fit into the sentence. Very common in Montreal. My french isn’t very good to do that on the fly, but my fra

Eh, if you acknowledge that person A and person B can have different morals, your argument doesn’t hold up.

With my bi/trilingual friends who speak the same languages, we intermix them to make our point more clear. Don’t think models will be good enough for mixes for a few more years, so we’re safe!

Taylor Swift is also a fun example as she refused to be on Spotify for some time because of “artists get paid pennies” reason. But then she signed some deal eventually to increase payouts basically for everyone. Now it’s been a while, and S

Sometimes we joke with my old roommate (we live by ourselves, on different sides of the country) how both of us would absolutely move into a 4-bed apartment and be roommates again. We had a very good thing going on for 6 years, but I guess,

I keep hearing this, but I don’t really understand what it means when you put it on the ground. Like people think tech will solve their problems or people actually use tech to improve their QOL? If it’s the former, then I guess. If it’s the

Purely user submitted content wise who also owns the content in the west? I would guess so, yeah. I am sure there are much more though, think of other companies who also own large data centers like Nvidia. Microsoft also does a lot from wha

It would be outlandishly expensive, compared to already having infrastructure that processes the videos anyways.

I don't have kids either, but I'm in touch with my nephews (ages 7-14), and get to see how they're growing up. It's a very weird mix of culture change, everyone's being on their phones 24/7, and not walkable st

I would say because Spotify has moat? Wouldn’t even be surprised if it is in top 5 apps in the world “running in the background”. Both Google and Spotify kinda win with this agreement. Plus having “Spotify runs on GCP” is a huge advertiseme
