The problem isn’t finite land. It’s finite voters and the politicians that represent them. In CA, the most crowded state, There are more acres than people! And somehow we still have a housing shortage. You can go out into the middle of no

I’m glad it’s not just me. I’ve done so many fairly basic searches and gotten back absolutely awful results. I imagine most of the web isn’t even accessible through. This is an important topic that deserves even more discussion, especially

Sure. That’s part of it. But the US has some truely insane housing policies. Where I work, many employees are forced to drive 40+ miles one way to work on super clogged 5 lane highways. You’d think there would be buildings everywhere right?

I’m on a iPhone 7 with a cracked screen. You could probably get that on eBay for less than 70$. And everything still works. Just gotta be a bit mindful when swiping And don’t use the dang thing too much

This will have deep long lasting repercussions. Do you think anyone is going to rent out their house anymore after getting burned like this? This will further reduce the rental supply in the long term, driving rents up even more as the few

I just think advertisement is when other people pay for the media products you get for free, if you don’t buy the ad product. It’s a plus. Why are people so charged up about it? If you don’t want to be manipulated by ads then just don’t b

I like the idea of starting a new town, something that’s in great need with so many cities oberpopulating Why no AC? He says they can’t produce enough power. But all it takes is one powerwall and 4K or 8k solar panel per house.

The headline is click bait and does not accurately describe the content of the article. To be specific, China doesn’t like the mining of Bitcoin in China. And I’m sure there’s no shortage of other countries that would happily take that indu

I can’t possibly imagine why anyone would ever go work at Amazon. How low would your prospects have to sink in order to make someone do that to themselves? I suppose if you’re completely homeless and in danger of starvation. Personally,

These are all signs of a vast over supply of talent. I can’t imagine anyone would willingly work at such a company unless they had no other choice.

I had to think about that for a second. It kinda makes sense and works. If you make SF an awful enough place, companies might finally start to consider leaving.

Put everything in gold/ precious metals with no other diversification? Gold has some funny business with its paper holdings because of the way governments lend it out.
