I assumed OP has a relatively high cost of living in NY, and can work remotely (either at current job or an equivalently paying one).

Then Philly is close-by (can still get to NY for friends/family, similar east coast culture), still a cool city (I had a lot of fun visiting), and MUCH lower cost of living. I saw nice houses there in cool neighborhoods for 300k. It made me strongly consider the emotional cost of starting over in yet another city, just to be able to own where I live and have it be very comfortable.
Well, the problem is that we are accelerating so much that adaptation from living beings is not possible.

Not a small problem,you know...
Generally, companies obtaining a monopoly position is bad for consumers.
This works both ways, though. How many people realize, for example, that housing affordability for anybody with a mortgage has actually been mostly increasing for decades:

https://twitter.com/wanyeburkett/status/1558489610304589824

The conventional wisdom is literally the opposite of what's been happening. The recent run-up is notable in that it wiped out a bunch of those gains and took us back to levels last seen in 1989. In other words, housing has been getting more affordable since 1989 -- again, literally the opposite of what people think -- and we've just now gotten back to those levels after a historic run-up in prices (and, of course, things were much worse before 1989).

Every generation thinks they have it worse than anybody before them, but you should always be extremely skeptical of such claims.
> but renting is guaranteed to not.

This is only true if you assume the same housing at the same cost/mo (including everything). And assume timelines. Usually this isn't the case, so there are definitely scenarios where you are better off renting.
Feel free to provide another source other than your mythical friend. If it is that high, then there aren't many jobs there.

I grew up in a blue collar household. My grandfather died of cancer he got from working in a steel mill, my dad has bad knees from working as a laborer (now an electrician.) He worked his life away to provide a better life for me. It's not about being "better." or elitism - It's just simple - cost/benefit analysis.

The work is hard, the pay isn't as good. It takes way more hours for equivalent wages. You're location locked. And it taxes your body. It's not about being better. But for most, the numbers don't lie. The facts are the facts.

> Go ahead, lord over us how much better you are. I'll live in the real world where the median dev salary is $110k, the work is boring, the company screws you over, and the boss is an asshole.

Haha if you think there aren't bad bosses in the trades...well, honestly, just shows me where you're at in your life.

Good luck! It may be the best move you can make. Lots of people have found success there, you can too. I remember when I was less mature, I always thought grass was greener. Turns out, it isn't always. Go figure it out for you.

If it makes you feel any better, except for t-shirts all of those still suck at 5'8" just less so.
Check your TV's settings. Most, if not all, TVs ship in some sort of display demo mode that jacks up the contrast and sharpness and does all kinds of horrible things to make it stand out in the environment of a show floor. On Samsung, it's called "Dynamic" last I knew, but other euphemisms are used by the other manufacturers. I call it "Claw Your Eyes Out Mode", but that's obviously just me.

Generally if you tune your TV to any other "mode" as a base mode, you'll get much better colors. At first it'll look dull next to Claw Your Eyes Out Mode, but stick with it a bit and your eyes will rapidly come to appreciate not being clawed out.

You can also generally find suggested settings for your TV from people who calibrate them with professional tools. You'll see them also say you shouldn't just take them directly because your TV may be different, but from my point of view, the upgrade from CYEOM to "calibrated based on the same model even if it is a different instance" is probably about 99% of the upgrade you can expect and I don't consider the remaining single-percent upgrades that may be theoretically possible to be worth the effort required.

> Every organization needs to start thinking about this and invest in good FOSS tools for any recent technology to avoid business continuity risk.

As far as a business is concerned, Figma is still available. There is no business continuity risk.

I personally, would say open source provides a much larger business continuity risk. There are many open source projects that are basically dead. They're widely used and quite crucial but development and support has basically stopped the maintainer has moved on with their lifes and have other things they want to do.

A good example would be the Gorilla libraries in Go, it is still being maintained but the fact the maintainer has been looking for such a long time for someone else to take over because they don't have the time really means the library is just kinda existing.

There is a popular User library for the Symfony framework in PHP, it literally says in the docs that people are expected to move off of it because they won't maintain it and lists a bunch of reasons why. How many teams using that library would even know that?

One of the biggest complaints I've seen open soure maintainers complain about is people asking if their project is dead or not. As far as the maintainer is concerned it's maintained, when they have time. But it looks to the world that it is dead.

Just because you can get the source code and use it at any time because the license allows it doesn't mean you're able to depend on it. In fact, since you're often paying no one for it and most often not even said thanks to anyone (myself included). You're entitled to nothing, no support, no note that they won't be maintaining it, etc.

It annoys me when people think that FOSS means it's something you can depend on, when it literally comes with a license that makes sure you understand there is no warranty. That's how much you can depend on it. The person giving it to you says use at your own risk.

I don't think this is actually true. If you spend enough time on Nextdoor and read what nimby's complain about, the chief concerns are traffic, parking, and congestion (after crime and safety). Obviously, there are nimby's who are concerned with their property values, but the average 75 year old nimby isn't interested in selling/moving their property.

I'm living two minutes away from a green belt in my town. It's a round course with partly paved paths, pretty much exactly 5km long, used by runners and walkers.

Since I've been working from home I've made it a point to head out mid-workday and go for a walk. One hour. Surrounded by trees. It's fantastic.

Whenever I'm getting annoyed or cranky, it's time to go. Most of our development tools are shit. I get lots of opportunities…

When I started doing that I could reliably measure my blood pressure going down by 10 to 15 mmHg. Lasting the rest of the day.

Now I've lost quite a bit of weight (mostly by eating less, not much by walking, I think), and I cannot see such a reliable drop in blood pressure anymore (it's now regularly lower). I still feel better whenever I've been out.

I’d say the GitHub acquisition is the exception in that list. It seems to go well from my perspective as a user.
> Won’t you wish you’d invested in yourself, org, and community?

Many might prefer to have shipped features/products in a timely manner instead and how their performance reviews would look, as opposed to some notion of community.

The situations where you can say: "I'm blocked and am waiting on the library/tool developer to have a look at my GitHub issue, so no new release will be shipped until then," are probably not plentiful. Situations where the person in question can contribute a solution of their own are also not as plentiful as we might like. Situations where the person in question is capable of either solving the problem just for themselves (with a custom build of the tool/library) are also not as plentiful as one might hope, due to possibly different skillsets.

Making the functionality someone else's problem behind a contract of some sort feels like a decent choice in an enterprise setting, which is why you see many purchase something like RHEL licenses because of the support, or why many prefer to overpay for cloud services instead of running everything on prem, or even use paid tools that are "standard" within the niche of the industry that they work in.

For many, the circumstances in which they'll adopt FOSS primarily centers around someone else already having done the majority of the work and the solution being good enough: something like MySQL/MariaDB/PostgreSQL in the database space and something like Angular/Vue/React in the front end space, or any number of libraries/frameworks for back end development, tools like Visual Studio Code or Git, OSes like GNU/Linux or other Linux distros and so on.

One might also argue that a lot of the successful FOSS projects out there actually have corporate backing, but perhaps that's besides the point.
Yep. The temporary tax reduction is a thing. Back during the 2008 crisis we got the reduction... Had to fight for it as the city wasn't so keen on just handing it out... But got it until prices rebounded.
That pissed me off so much when it got me. I can count the number of dark patterns I've ever fallen for (well, and eventually found out about) on one finger.

It's so stupid too, I'm happy paying subscriptions for things and happy paying a fair price but being tricked into doing it - never again, Adobe. They target their own customers with it to scrape a few more dollars into the current quarter, I guess. Probably some executive bonus targets or something.
You'll often see financial advice websites claim that one extra mortgage payment a year will reduce your loan term by 11-12 years on your 30 year mortgage. This was technically true for a brief period in the 1980s. Not sure why this ephemeral factoid made it's way on the the early web and survived as it became less and less true over the years, but I guess it dove tails nicely with the other nonsense about the "huge tax savings" from deducting your mortgage interest*

*Was still sort of true if you had a VERY expensive house.

My parents paid their house off after 7 years, but that is quite a lot easier to do with most of your payment is high interest rates and you have a much smaller principle to attack.

Assuming constant transaction volume and other factors related to difficulty. You have a point. But it's far from a panacea for proof of work, and certainly not at the threshold to derail coming taxes and regulation. (Though one might find a way to structure the taxes such that they reward a productive increase in the block size.)

If managers are making time to interact enough with their employees day to day to actually assess burnout, then they can make the time to have zoom meetings with their team. Its no different. Funny you cite IT when that line of work especially is basically 50% remote work if not more of just controlling a users device remotely to fix software issues. Hardware issues you could just mail out/in gear to one site. Probably a whole lot cheaper than having a dedicated IT department in each and every office you have around the globe.

When I see a youtube embed, the frame for which is blocked by default using umatrix, I right-click it and open it with mpv. With my configuration, mpv performs better at video playback than any browser, saving me battery life. It also lets me use keybindings I'm familiar with, easily screenshot the video with a single press of the s key, and make video clips of the video too. This also bypasses youtube's age gating, without requiring me to have an account.

The same works for vimeo, dailymotion, etc. Even if the video embed doesn't even get created in the first place because I didn't run that page's javascript (I only run javacript on a whitelist basis), I can usually watch a video that would have been embedded in it by simply directing mpv to the hosting page itself. This even works for most local news websites (which seem to be the trashiest sort of pages on the web.)
After my divorce, I dove into the hetero online dating community and discovered that many men lie about their height in their online profile. This is more common among men because many women do in fact want a taller man. Similarly, men and women both often lie about their age in order to help their profile sneak around age filters used by others.

But the lying about height is pathetic and always backfires, often spectacularly, because the women can tell immediately when the guy shows up three or four inches shorter. So at that stage the problem is lying, not height, and it makes for a very awkward date if the date even continues.

Just playing devil's advocate, why would someone pay the standard monthly price if they could get the annual price discount and cancel after a month?
Does it matter? PayPal and Stripe don't advertise that they will only do business with organizations with which they agree. To accept a business as a client for a mission critical service like payment processing and then summarily cancel or suspend service without notice should be able to be prosecuted the same as someone who vandalizes a physical storefront to the point they cannot open for business. This is non-trivial and PayPal and others are acting like rat bastards to accept a client, get them dependent, and then dump them without warning.

> I, personally, wouldn't be comfortable working at a company that is actively promoting a politician I fundamentally disagree with

First off, if you are working for coinbase and you can't handle it supporting politicians that aren't trying to regulate crypto out of existence, then you have no business working there.

2ndly, why? are you so defined by your politics? 99% of companies donate to politicians I fundamentally disagree with. I guess its easy for you to be that way and hard for me because you have choice and I don't.

3rdly, For coinbase, they don't want people discussing politics at work. I wish my company had this policy, as I am sick and tired of people talking about politics.

In any individual incident, a helmet would make things better. However, a helmet is a very bulky thing, most bikes lack a secure storage, and people just don’t want to carry around a big helmet when they go shopping, or to a restaurant, or any other activities. So if you mandate it, biking rates will go down, and cyclists become so uncommon on roads that drivers stop being familiar with how to drive around them, stop looking out for cyclists that are almost never there, etc.

There’a also some evidence that drivers will adjust their behavior based on perceived cyclist protection and skill level; the behavior around a person in a hat and sundress is different than someone in full Lycra with helmet.

But jurisdictions with helmet mandate show no clear reduction in injury rates: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1410838/?tool=p...

I think the argument is:

(1) in both traditional finance and crypto, a relatively small group of big players control the rules of the game

(2) in traditional finance, there are established ways for small players (Eg consumers) to appeal to big players (eg retail bank) to make exceptions and provide redress

(3) in crypto, there are not yet established pathways for small players to petition big players for redress in this way.
