Interesting that you mention Syrians. I know Nassim Taleb talks a lot about people from the Levant really prize running your own business. People who work in a regular office job get little respect even if they earn more money. Skin in the

I heard in the West its similar, lots of baby boomers want to retire with small businesses that no one wants to take over.

Because with net metering you can generally sell at a much higher price than the wholesale rate. It was a loophole that is now going away.

Not really, I come from a similar country. If you’re ambitious – move to the US or UK, if you want balanced lifestyle – stay and don’t work too hard.

I used to be a C++ dev before moving to Java/Python. I'd like to go back but there seems to be few roles for people that aren't up to date experts. Is this the case? I'm not sure if the C++ shortage is like the COBOL sho

I was addicted to computers when I found them in middle school. My parents banned me and I didn't follow my passion at university. Now I'm a programmer with above average social skills and below average computer skills. Not sure i

I used to think this until I moved to the USA. Property taxes here are insane. Add state tax, NYC city tax, Social Security etc the marginal taxes are well over 60% of income. And you still have to pay for your own healthcare after that.

Its one of the reasons Value Added taxes are popular everywhere. (except USA)

Realistically I've pretty much given up. The only thing is if we have school, organized events, sports - social interaction. Otherwise the (barely working) phone comes out - or the laptop which is required for all homework now. I&#x27

Phone without a sim card. You'll get GPS and music too. :) Just have to avoid wifi.

I have had the same problem. Open the package you already feel like you've been scammed. Its almost makes it worth paying the extra to use regular bookshops again.

People care way too much. Brokers used to take huge commissions, now the HFT market makers really aren't as exploitative as people's imaginations believe. Virtu is a good example, its a $3B market cap, less than half the size of T

I'm all for sick days but not if you can save them up. The cops in my town used to retire with a career's worth of sick days saved which they get paid out in cash (at their final salary). Now I think they get paid annually instead

Middle East already has a lot of workers from Asia. People follow the money, if the works is there the people will follow. The biggest problem is if it gets too hot to be able to live.

Much of the heavy industry in the future is likely to be in deserts near the equator.

Nice, though the Chat description is looking less accurate with that small essay. :)

I've seen a lot of airtime. Google tripledemic. NYC recommends wearing masks again.

Not really. If its appropriately staffed for most of the year, then there is a crunch period its realistically better to suffer the crunch than have excess staff for most of the year.

We have sprinklers in the space above the ceiling too, which I presume is building code. The walls a sealed.

True but concrete would fix this too, without the sprinklers.

Could it be that European houses are much smaller? America usually favors size over quality.

> sprinkler systems have reduced the risk fire poses Not so fast. My 5+1 has loads of sprinklers and its a nightmare. Every few years the sprinklers start leaking, or someone drills a hole or breaks a spinkler pipe. It causes catastrophi

That was my thought. Legalizing to me means likely way for the homeless population to clear them up more quickly.

I went back to Windows. Does everything I want and doesn't have the Apple walled garden approach. I have m1 envy but its worth it.

I always wanted to replace Jira with a good free open source alternative but never managed it. I figured Bugzilla was one of the best, but it really isn't widely used enough any more. I'd love to use it.

I'm not sure - I used to by cynical of celebrities but now I see the continued trend of people following influencers and how much power they really have. Previously if you bought something you chose from what the local store had in sto

Surely Real Rates are the issue? Ie now when inflation is 7%+ and rates are 4%, rates are effectively lower than when inflation is 2% and rates are 1%. I'm not buying lots of these analyses.
