dg08··on Asian governments roll out 4-day weeks, WFH to solve fuel crisis caused by war
You're getting a lot of replies from other ICs that do well in a WFH setting, but I can say from a manager perspective, it's not always the manager or process. I've been managing remote teams for years since before covid and some people just don't do well without the in-person structure.

It's possible to build a high performing remote team, but it's not easy.

dg08··on The death of partying in the USA
That’s tough. We also bought a house in a nice suburban community right outside of NYC and it’s been amazing. We know all the neighbors, exchange gifts during holidays, and a ton of kids come out for Halloween. What I really liked about the neighborhood when house hunting was seeing kids ride their bikes around on the streets unsupervised. I don’t know if it had any correlation, but the vibe felt right.
dg08··on Scientists discover a cause of lupus, possible way to reverse it
Thanks for posting this. My doc just prescribed vtama for me a month ago and my psoriasis was gone in less than a week. I didn’t even finish the sample tube he gave me. Far more effective than the steroid topical cream I was using before. I had no idea what vtama was until reading your post.

dg08··on Almost no one pays a 6% real-estate commission except Americans
They do exist. When I sold in NYC a few years ago, I paid 2.5% all in. When I bought, I used the same broker and got a 2/3 buyer's commission rebated to me at closing. It was a decent chunk of money and helped me pay the closing costs. I recommended it to all my friends and several got the rebates as well.

There are a bunch of these brokers now.

dg08··on The average iOS app
I have one of those 1% apps (barely). What the survey didn't ask me was how much I spent on the thing. I spent over 50k on marketing and maybe 10k total on other stuff like graphics. It also took 3 yrs to pull in that money so way below typical wage in a western country.
