No, a lot of people on this website value very highly their completely irrelevant nitpicks. I’m starting to think it’s just the kind of mind the tech industry attracts, because I’ve noticed it in some coworkers as well.

GDP per capita is an almost completely meaningless metric if you don’t also include cost of living and some way of measuring the quality of goods and services it acquires for you.

You are correct, but universities did use to actually teach. SICP is still relevant 40 years later, and it was because the professors who created the class and textbook actually gave a fuck, knew what they were doing, and were still allowed

FWIW, I believe RealPage works to lower rent. Every landlord wants to say, “We charge below the 50% mark”, thereby steadily lowering it over time.

That all sounds obvious and inevitable, but it also relies on the return from capital out-earning the return from labor by quite a lot. This hasn’t always been true, but it does seem likely to continue.

Really? All real estate is worth the exact same? That's news to me.

Look up fungible in a dictionary. Housing is not fungible because not all units of housing are interchangeable. Being able to sell something does not make it fungible.

Stocks are fungible. Housing is not.

Obviously I have no evidence to back this up, but it seems to mostly be used on the Internet in an intellectually lazy way to avoid confronting the fact that many people really are malicious, and the effect of Hanlon's razor, in my exp

30 ng of botulinum toxin can kill you. What's your point?

Every day I become more convinced that Hanlon’s razor is an example of malice.

Alright I’ll say the obvious since no one else will. This technology is far too dangerous to ever see widespread adoption because no one can be trusted not to use it for power and leverage over everyone who is chipped.

I’ve also been using it for, I think, 2 years now. While it has fewer issues in my experience, they’ve also destroyed features for nebulous security benefits. I’ve wasted quite a lot of time trying to get things to work on Wayland that just

I don't know what point you think you're making. In a democratic (not necessarily a Democracy of which the US is not) country, people are allowed to disagree with each other, and they do. That doesn't change the fact that our

I think a nationwide stat isn’t very useful because it ignores cost of living and the fact that most SWEs are concentrated in particular areas of the country. I think it’s very likely based on this data that software engineering just pays b
