My neighbor's home has been a full-time airbnb for four years, since the lockdowns started they moved back into it and have been living there since they couldn't rent it out. I had never even met them before covid.

I'm certain covid has decimated airbnb income for many, and it must be part of what's driving down rent prices as these units come back on the long-term rental market.
Is that US only? You need country too.
Yes, less experienced workers, and workers from more liquid now industries (which also tend to be younger) are more expendable by the definition.

But youth unemployment still really sucks. Good first job is critical to success in life.
n=1, but the feeling of ‘security’ of cables plugged into my MacBook Pro’s ports seems to have gradually decreased with time. Some are now even slightly position-dependent - I have to be very careful when copying files with some devices not to even slightly nudge the laptop.

This may of course be that the there is too great a variance in the design and manufacture of the male USB – C plugs leading to insecure connections… but either way, it’s worse than any other USB standard (even micro) I’ve used, and much worse than Lightning in this regard, in my experience
(1) - What is the point of this comparison?

(2) - Different discussion -- let's assume for sake of argument we are talking about a young healthy person anyways.

(3) - Sales tax is "almost nothing"?

With respect, this reply is coming off as completely out of touch with someone who can barely afford rent, food, gas and the many "poor taxes".
Well the alternative at the time was USB 3 Micro B. If you haven’t seen that connector then I suggest you google it for a laugh.

Personally I’m glad Apple picked a robust, reversible connector and stuck with it.
I don’t know how it happened (never dropped it or yanked the cord hard or anything like that), but I’ve had the little USB-C tongue thing get a slightly bent downwards in the port which made it very difficult to plug in. I’ve seen a lot of other comments on the internet about how it breaks easily (it’s a common argument whenever this topic comes up on r/Android or r/Apple). I’ve never personally had a port fully break on me, but I could see it happening.
That crossed into personal attack and is not ok.

I appreciate the experiences that you've been sharing in your other comments, but you provoked a flamewar in this case and should not have done that.

Even a lot of single urbanites want these things.

With subways like BART allowing bicycles, going around traffic jams and being economical and somewhat social, basically cars, taxis/Uber and public transit are fundamentally different services that strongly overlap.

Which means no one is going to be happy eliminating any of these and that makes it even harder for any self-driving taxi system since it would have to indefinitely navigate human filled roads and would add-to, not replace, all the traffic that exists now, threatening considerable congestion.
Transloadit | Remote | Frontend | Vue/React/Svelte/Angular | Open source | uppy.io | part-time | freelance | project-based

Hey, we’re looking for a seasoned frontend dev who can help us create official integrations for Uppy (the next file uploader for webbrowsers) for Vue, Svelte and Angular. Uppy can be used without a framework, but we already have an official integration with React, so that could provide some inspiration, as well as some community efforts out there already to integrate with said frameworks/libs.

Experience with said framework and contributing to open source is required. Please send you GitHub profile and motivation to @kvz on Twitter. Just a few lines will do! We’re a small company and won’t have time for much more I am afraid.
Sounds more like they're trying to gently kick the community out, because they're shutting down the site-as-we-know-it. Gently, because Kongregate is still pretty cool.
I'm a Redux maintainer. FWIW, we've _always_ tried to clarify when it actually makes sense to use Redux:

I was disappointed too. I was hoping to see some detail on how they keep the two batteries balanced and if you could still jump 12v cars by only connecting one battery. Instead the details were all vague and mostly taken from Ford's whitesheet.
> You are the anti-brahmin hypocrite [...] People like you are why

Please do not cross into personal attack, even when provoked, and do not take the thread further into flamewar even when baited. Doing those things only makes the thread even worse. And actually the bulk of this thread, when I looked at it last night, was doing relatively well considering the difficulty of the topic.
I know he's trying to be cheeky by saying its "not a wheel chair" to get around FDA regulation, but that's not how it works.

Its clearly being marketed to disabled people as a mobility device, which makes it a wheelchair, and makes it a class II medical device that must have design controls.

He's in for a rude awakening by a visit from the FDA.
And a ton of Japanese cars are made in the US already, as well. My wife's Subaru, for example, is made in Indiana. That's part of the reason why we chose to buy a Subaru, in fact. A lot of "US" cars, in contrast, are not made in the US.
This is the consequence of companies like Discord letting child predators run rampant on their platform and doing nothing about it. There are two sides to every story. You can imagine how the government would react after seeing hundreds and hundreds of cases coming out of Discord, Snap, even FB.

Reading the actual bill[1] rather than sensational headlines, you can see this is mostly about creating a tip line and bureauracy for reporting CP. Ctrl+F "encrypt" 0 results. Me no care. Deal with it Discord. Pass it.

> hide all the more complicated and lesser-used settings out of the way!

Why? Just looking at more stuff makes you nervous? Ever been to a library? Ever cooked a meal? Ever walked outside your house? The world is full of complex "UI". This is a total bullshit minimalism case designers make to satiate their own personal taste.

I would like to see data that proves that "seeing" more stuff impedes the ability to operate something. Hiding stuff is detrimental, I would argue. The hierarchy of menus is equally as complicated as a dashboard of logically laid out "containers", each box decidated to a specific group of functions. It is exactly the same! Your vision system scans through the top level hierachy (Climate Control, Radio, Vehicle Settings, Navigation), then focusing in on individual controls (akin to sub-menu items). The benefits are massive - immediate control, haptics feedback, muscle memory, etc. Negatives a minor and can be addressed - cost, reliability and durability (wearing off labels for example). The problem is - if you look at ALPS catalog of encoders, they are rapidly going up in prices because automotive manufacturers are ditching them and they don't have enough volume to sustain production and keep costs down. If we had invested in this industry, we would have kept the costs down too. The sad thing is, they are discontinuining a lot of physical controls.

> Do you really think that putting your grandmother into a car that resembled that F-15 cockpit would be a safer option? What happens if she forgets where the button is to, say, turn on the A/C compressor? Is she going to read every single label while cruising down the highway at 75 mph?

Actually yes. Thank god we have knobs and buttons left for A/C controls. Why didn't hide that in the menus? Apart from a few cars, most cars have physical controls for climate and radio.

Grandma's kitchen is probably 10x complicated than car UI. She does just fine.
This is incredibly cool. As someone looking to try out some ideas around applied ML, can I ask what your stack looks like?
While I’d take approval voting over FPTP, to me it exacerbates the issue of voting being highly tactical. Checking approve on someone I believe to be more popular than my favorite candidate lowers the chance my favorite candidate wins. If there’s someone I believe to be an existential threat to the country on the ballot, my best choice might be to check everyone other than them even if that means checking the box of someone I dislike. Essentially, you again have to choose how much you care about voting for your favorite option vs voting against your least favorite option. If I truly did check the box for anyone I was okay with being President then approval voting would be okay, but that would never be the right way to vote on the ballot given my preferences. In this way I prefer IRV, despite it’s shortcomings.

That all said, full ranking systems are definitely the superior option, and I’d certainly take approval over our current state.
I mean, my interest is certainly peaked, too.
Well, Apple seems to think strain relief doesn't meet their aesthetic criteria, so that's not surprising.
The investor mindset: What makes or breaks a developer
Wasn't trying to do that, but I see how my statement comes across that way. With something like UBI calibrated between $1-2K/mo, a worker could make the risk calculation themselves. Right now, low income workers don't have much of a choice, so are being forced to risk their health. UBI gives them an out.
Anyone have long-run comparisons on fluff buildup? Hard to gauge changes in clothing / cases / etc I guess, unless you literally live with two phones.
>here's how I like to get past the "nothing to hide" argument.

Personally I like to just remind people if we had nothing to hide, nobody would wear clothing, own curtains, or care about peeping toms.
>the $2 trillion CARES Act that pays workers $600 per week, contingent on them not having a job available to them.

FTFY. Your original language implied the choice to work was up to the individual person. You can't stay on unemployment insurance if you were given the option to return to work and declined. Many people believe that part of the reason many governments were so quick to reopen in the US was because opening businesses allowed people to be kicked off unemployment insurance if they refused to return to work due to health concerns.
In what world? If that were true why cant i go buy automatic machine guns, lsd, and drive counterfeit ferraris with rock climbing suspension down snow covered ski areas while shooting at the sky, assuming me and the sellers agree to the deal.... because we are trying to not live in todays version of a game of thrones world.

It is a scraper, but in general they have data that makes sense.

What I like about them is their data is very up to date.
The two major American parties have more in common than not. They agree on most political issues, particularly defense and economics, and make a big show of arguing over a tiny corner of issues in order to desperately try to differentiate themselves.

The two parties do not significantly differ on indefinite detention of American citizens on US soil.

The two parties do not significantly differ on domestic spying, dragnet-style data collection and warrantless wiretapping.

The two parties do not differ on their support for backdoors in encryption.

The two parties do not significantly differ on allowing extra-judicial targeted killings.

The two parties do not significantly differ on the use of unmanned drones, either for combat or domestic surveillance.

The two parties both support pre-emptive "cyber" war and non-defensive hacking.

The two parties do not significantly differ on their support for continuing the War On Terror and War On Drugs.

The two parties both support maintaining US military bases around the world.

The two parties do not significantly differ on favoring Keynesian economics.

The two parties support delegating monetary policy decisions to the Federal Reserve, including support for quantitative easing.

The two parties do not significantly differ on their use of earmarks and pork barrel spending.

Neither of the two parties have (recently) proposed plans for balancing the budget.

Neither of the two parties plans to significantly cut defense spending.

The two parties both favor taxpayer-funded foreign aid.

The two parties are largely backed by the same corporate sponsors and special interest groups, with a few key differences.

The two parties both backed TARP and in general favor bailing out companies too big to fail.

The two parties do not significantly differ on their general support of "economic stimulus" as a tool to prop up the economy.

The two parties do not significantly differ on their support for and allegiance to Israel.

The two parties both favor and continue sanctions on Iran.

The two parties do not significantly differ on their use of super PAC funding and their support of unlimited spending from corporations and special interest groups.

The two parties do not significantly differ on their use of gerrymandering to gain political advantage.

The two parties oppose any measures that would strengthen the viability of a third party.
People tend to feel attacked when you argue that they do, in fact, have something to hide. Even when you come from the perspective that everyone has something to hide, mostly small things.

I've had the best success with the argument I posted. It helps people understand that privacy isn't "hiding", it's normal. What's not normal is guaranteeing your government can see everything you do all the time, and we should think about whether that's what we want.

Yes, because I know the quality of content that Shawn creates.
Not only that, but certain brands on certain sites won't show the price, with that message "add to cart to see the price!"

I've heard varying explanations as to why, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter. Adding to the cart is the only way to scrape the price.
Tesla is making that margin with EV, nobody else is doing that. There is a reason nobody else produces EVs at those numbers. Specially not those with these battery seizes.

And Tesla has just gotten to the point where they get to those margins. The margins on the Model Y are already better then Model 3 and competitive with ICE cars of the same price.

It is because of their vertical integration that they managed to achieve that margin. There is reason why the were laughed at so much, nobody believed you could make good margins on EVs. This is quite literally what the CEO of Ford said over and over.

Tesla doesn't have 10s of billions or even 100s billions investment in legacy infrastructure that is raptly losing in value. And they don't need to redesign their whole fleet to EVs for many billions per vehicle.

That is the base for the case for their stock price. However that by itself would make them valuable, but not as valuable as Toyota.
Obviously, nobody is going to move a state of the art facility that cost billions just because their labor costs went from 'nothing' to 'almost nothing.'

What it will do is prevent more things from leaving the US to go to Mexico.

Me being a cynic, I'm fully expecting the employees will have to return some of that cash via forced employee dormitories and such, but we'll see.

Thanks. Do you know if the BLS provides a simple histogram of job numbers by wage?
As high-cost cities that refuse to allow adequate housing to be built force residents out, the jobs are eventually going to follow. Established companies may stay to an extent, but the new ones will grow up in Denver, Phoenix, Austin, and so forth. It's a shift that may be impossible to arrest if or when it really gets going.

Then we'll see thousands of articles about how SF, Boston, and so forth can't pay for the public services the cities want to pay for, and how terrible it is that companies are leaving. Those stories will contrast with the ones we've seen over the last decade, about how companies are evil and driving up the cost of housing.

Edit to add, the other question is eviction. Right now SF appears to have banned eviction: https://sfist.com/2020/06/10/sf-supervisors-extend-eviction-.... If or when that ends, we'll see what the market clears at. I assume courts will eventually forbid an indefinite eviction moratorium, but courts are already willing to go along with rent control, so who knows?
if by "social bandwidth" you mean "convince people in power that they need to do something," I don't see America having much social bandwidth for anything any time soon.
Two reasons:

1. It gives an idea of how many people are being supported by means outside of regular employment. In most cases this will have some form of impact on the economy.

2. Other job figures are misleading in different ways. Job creation numbers are irrelevant unless you know how many people are seeking work. Unemployment numbers only consider the number of people actively looking for work, ignoring those who are able and willing to work but are unable to seek employment.

> I did address it, though the answer is disappointing: Only Google (or someone with Google's private business data) could give you that number. But it's absolutely much higher than they'd like you to believe.

Well, that's pretty much wishful thinking.

> Broadcast companies are already held to all of the laws and risks that Section 230 is protecting Google and Facebook from.

Are they now.

Let's put it this way: section 230 protects Facebook from being held accountable for the anachronistic opinion about Jewish people, and violent tendencies derived from it, of a random user. Such random user, as a TV show guest, could spout a call to arms to an audience of 2,5 million spectators, and the broadcaster would not suffer any legal consequences.

Repealing section 230 _without_ a reasonable alternative would indeed held Google for a higher level of accountability than, say, Fox News.

> Front wheel skids aren't acceptable as you use them to steer. And limiting your rear wheels to the amount of torque that would make the front wheels slip means you're leaving a fair bit of performance on the table.

Or you can just size your motor(s) a little smaller in the front. Or just cope with this.

> And presumably getting more performance is the whole point of going 4wd!

Being less likely to get stuck and not be able to put down torque at all vs. a differential and RWD is the big performance win. Being able to run each wheel precisely at the limit of traction is great if you want to be quick off the line, but that's not why most off-road vehicles are 4WD.
No, it definitely won’t. In fact our card payment system has been updated to think alternative os and browsers are high-risk and even decline payment. We didn’t have any revenue loss.
On the other hand, if factories in Mexico competing for that workforce now have to look at $16 per hour, the competitiveness of an LA or San Diego area textile and clothing factory just became very slim until US wage in that sector rise.
