its not about slums. the US has abundant land and houses are cheap in most of the country. It's just big (especially coastal) cities where the prices are insane. Alot of americans do in fact live in "fly over country" where prices are 300k or sometimes less. In addition, we are lucky that we have a lot of cities, not just one major one.

Contrast this to a tiny country like britain or japan with only one major city london/tokyo where everyone wants to live. Where land actually is a limiting factor.

that’s what jimmy carter did and it didn’t work out great for him whether or not it’s true. it’s the same reason politicians don’t tell americans to get exercise or eat healthy

lol i thought we were trying to stop pipelines and reduce carbon emissions?

pretty sure if you follow their blog then you're pre-supposed to already have an interest in finance. and therefore should know the basic concept of QE. It's like expecting a programming blog to explain a for loop.

not sure its the authors fault it got posted here

j.p. morgan existed before regulatory bodies did

depends where. in afghanistan and parts of africa, the issue is still starving to death. and even changing food prices globally by a few percent leads to marginal deaths

how many people have to starve to death as a result of these doves trying print unlimited money and give it to people out of "compassion"?

look at detroit to see what unions do.

or teachers refusing to get vaccinated and prioritizing themselves over children

no one really wants to upturn their entire life for a discrimination lawsuit for a practice that doesn’t even effect them. if you’ve worked at any fang orlarge tech company you’ve seen it. But it doesn’t affect you really if you’re not on one of the teams.

and some of it may not even be explicit discrimination but self sorting. If i’m interviewing with multiple teams am i really going to join the one whose primary communication mechanism is in chinese/hindi and i’m the only american there? or choose the americanized team

it has nothing to do with referrals. its people who never met eachother but favor each other based on country of origin. such that certain orgs don't speak english at all

yeah sorry im sticking to my car as long as our population behaves like this

in california that number is closer to 50% than 36%, but yeah i agree that its probably not worth it though maybe they thought they were untouchable due to their position

yeah that largely accounts for the racial wealth gap as well (though not completely). As median age by race varies by over a decade.

Savings are at an all time high after the stimulus checks and enhanced unemployment. It just ran out in september but i’m sure the savings will hold people over for a bit.

notice people don’t actually want to limit the power of fb, they just want to co-opt that power for the government

never heard a cogent criticism of facebook other than “they won’t censor my political enemies as often as i’d like”

meanwhile people are murdered and robbed in his states main cities at alarming rates and homelessness is worse than ever

so i assume you’re a billionaire fund manager?

either way china covered it up and owes us repararions. atleast 10T worth

even if it’s cost competitive or even cheaper, im not eating the disgusting frankensteins concoction in this article. I’d rather pay more for real meat. And if that’s illegal or sometbing then i’d rather be a vegan

yeah, i’m sure it applies to a few thousand peoples but not the millions of jobless people. not everyone even has a dream they are passionate about following in the first place. for the most part people just want a stable job and to be able to enjoy their life outside work. there aren’t millions of new entrepreneurs out of nowhere. it’s a romantic idea

they haven’t actually innovated anything or made their cars cheaper in like 4 years (the model 3 is more expensive than it was then). people are realizing autopilot is fake

so all they have now is their wacky steering wheel to get attention

i don’t see how it’d be wasteful to know how many people have natural immunity. seems quite useful actually even if we determine they should still get vaccine

people also got to see the insane things their kids were being taught for the first time.

how’d i know every comment would reflexively try to find holes in the study. it’s funny i don’t see the same gusto for finding flaws in pro cannabis “studies” where it supposedly cures cancer and every other disease

this account has had multiple owners.. i’ve never done grunt work

"huge percentage".. got any numbers to back that up? i can tell you its a single digit percent at G.

sometimes you just need someone who can write super simple scripts to help process/clean some data or do grunt work that none of the devs want to do. And sometimes this need is just temporary for 4 months etc.

I wouldn't waste a google dev's on grunt work that any coder could do.

the engineers etc i’ve worked with that were contractors were far worse and way below normal google hiring bar. sorry if that’s not PC but it’s the truth. if they could get hired at actual google they would’ve done it.

hell, if they could get hired as a SWE at a comparable firm they would do that instead of taking a massive pay cut to be a contractor

good bots = biden bots, blm bots, chinese bots, and global warming bots.

bad bots = republican bots and russian bots.
