What percentage of homeless are indigent and dealing with crippling mental health and addiction issues. Maybe they would qualify for SSI but that is a completely untenable income to also pay rent out of. There is really no “affordable” hou

It does seem like we run the risk that if we expand building, especially low cost, nearly turn key rentals, that all the excess supply will be mopped up by corporate landlords like Blackerock etc. it’s a twofold advantage to prop up value o

Technically very impressive, and meets a real need. My office is still running telecom hardware from a decade ago, all the wireless mics have dead batteries, and is reluctant to replace since so many meetings are completely virtual, so why

As I’m similar age, this was pre cell phone? Yeah losing yourselves in that sort of crowd for a day without a phone is a different experience nowadays (it’s like how 50% of Seinfeld episodes would resolve in 5 minutes if everyone had a cell

3 years for an iPad is very unusual? But I’ve bought new Galaxies that don’t get updates within 2 years. But I also have a Surface laptop bought in 2019 that won’t get updated after 2025. Sure I can run Linux but it was my wife’s machine, s

I was an early adopter of a lot of things, but failed to capitalize on it. Probably from “inventing” internet addiction too.

I mean charging the laptop does increase electricity consumption. As well as flushing toilets, using soap and towels, and wear on plumbing — and maybe frequent cleaning, depending on the restroom habits compared to transit visitors

WeWork in my town is $300/month. 1 coffee every day works out to $80/month, and there is no commitment. And you can probably get by with a cheaper than $4 coffee.

That was their original plan https://www.fastcompany.com/887990/starbucks-third-place-and... But the rise of remote work and just an enormous class of workers looking for a free “office” has exploded. I’m sure they hav

Are you reading on a computer? I was on Firefox Focus on iPhone and it still had tons of ads mangling the page. In the end I printed it to PDF and read that.

Is this terribly surprising, I thought the real problem was having too many years of experience, ie ageism?

They are a hardware company, but this isn’t their fab right? But does it have a lot of build out of labs, etc that would be hard to impossible to move with disruption? They have a huge target on their back from competitors; imagine if a co

You’ll need to be sure that all the places your cards will go accept the 6 digit pin. Granted this was 20 years ago, but we were in Europe and couldn’t use my wife’s ATM card because she had a 6 digit PIN and all the ATMs were encountered o

You could get the URL out. I would like to have it require some authentication, and I don’t see too many easy ways to add authentication. I use Google Workspace for hosting and I guess it would default to Google IDs? Does SquareSpace provid

When dealing with a hardware based, real-time events like SpaceX, having regular RTO time makes sense — mission rehearsals, coop activities, etc as well as actual launches and anomaly response. A lot can be done remotely, but I have yet to

Does it specify how many are actually externally funded and are hiring/bringing in revenue? There may be a huge boom in underemployment or unemployed workers hanging a shingle as a “startup”, but it’s basically in name only. I thought

Honestly most kids have better video game rigs at home. Maybe the games with driving rigs, flying yokes, or handheld guns are harder to replicate, but kids get plenty of gaming at home. It’s not the outing it once was.

Seems to be unpopular but we lived as a family of four in a two bedroom apartment for 7 years. I just think for two people it’s a good amount of space — though so guess it won’t hold a workshop? Our community has a wood working shop availa

I don’t understand. A two bedroom for a couple is plenty. The guest bedroom can also be the office in the 2nd bedroom. Many complexes have a few units for hoteling guests in the building which is very nice. Balconies have been absent for y

I doubt it would cool the market. Some would argue the $250k/500k capital gains exclusion kicked off the huge runup in housing prices in the 2000s. Suddenly it was a very tax advantaged, leveraged investment. https://www.fed

I thought the prior generations all downsized to lower cost areas when they sold their home. Before it was FL and AZ, but now it’s maybe Ohio and New Mexico? Or are those low cost places really have no homes available? With the stair eleva

I was replying to the previous posters who said it was already animation. There certainly is some animation at play but was wondering of the mix of practical effects and CGI.
