I'm honestly surprised more places are don't try this - $10k for the potential tax revenue seems well worth it to me.

This is a fantastic way to look at it. It feels like a perfect application of the 80 / 20 rule -> with 20% of the effort, you can get 80% of the benefits of being vegetarian / vegan.

It's also worth noting that this tool shows the risk of at least one other person in attendance having covid before going, not the risk of contracting covid at the event.

So you're saying there is a chance.

> HDCP is awful. Thanks Intel. Agreed. HDCP is the reason I can't play most 4k content on my (older) 4k TV.

Are they taking into account the fact that the talent market is now national / international given remote work?

I don't watch sports, which I suppose is part of the reason, but I have 0 desire for live tv. I'd much rather watch what I want when I want.

And.... then piracy.

This sounds like an incentive to increase costs (20% of 2X > 20% of X).

I think it's useful to think of this as a proxy to the fiat world. You can continue to use and hold your crypto where possible (hoping more places accept it directly over time), but have a way to spend it at existing locations that onl

https://foldapp.com/card/ is another option. Biggest different is that it spends USD directly and earns Bitcoin rather than spending cryptocurrencies.

There are fees involved when purchasing DAI though. (and fees for spending as well..)

You can earn 2% directly on coinbase [0] or 3% on compound [1] (actually closer to 6% if you include selling the governance tokens you receive - with some additional shenanigans you can push this up to 20 - 30%, but that would require a lon

Maybe this will encourage lawmakers to finally add a de-minimis exemption.

Huh. I wonder how they handle proof of ownership with self custody.

Is anyone else incredibly bullish on coworking spaces, and coliving operations (ex: outsite + a long tail of smaller offerings) post pandemic?

by xur17 6y ago
Yeah, this is even occurring in second tier cities like Austin, Denver, etc (well maybe slightly less so more recently).

by xur17 6y ago
But from the company's perspective, why should they care? If they are hiring remotely, shouldn't they optimize for the best employees at a given price?

This seems like a desirable outcome. Wouldn't this mean a more even distribution of wealth rather than large concentrations in a few big cities?

by xur17 6y ago
And this seems like a desirable outcome, at least short term, for reddit. They get to pay (slightly) lower than Bay Area salaries, and get the top candidates across the US.

Would this be rental apartments that people can use for short stays while traveling along a bike path? Targeting remote workers? I ask because something like that actually sounds kinda interesting.

I'll keep that in mind for the future. Not sure they'll let me in this year.

I would love to do this, but lodging near slopes tends to be quite expensive - do you stay a bit further away, or have you had success sharing a house with a group of people doing the same thing?

Following that logic, it seems indoors would also be fine if they open up a bunch of windows?
