>This theory doesn't work very well, because there are lots of places where new construction is entirely uncapped (politicians are desperate for the new property tax growth), and prices still don't fall there
Can you give an example of such a place?

By the same logic, all simulated faces look like some real person somewhere, but I wouldn't expect to simulate a face that looks like Brad Pitt and then use it in a TV commercial
What if a company chooses you as a voice artist largely on the basis that you sound like Morgan Freeman?
if you're an actual believer in NFTs, isn't that kind of the point?
Many people want portability, but also want to use external displays at home or at the office .
Software - or at least, the kind of software I have worked on in my career - is never finished. It is a neverending ship of theseus.
I can muster motivation to try really hard on something that has an end point. But the idea of maintaining that kind of motivation and focus on a project that just goes on and on and on is, for me, near-unimaginable. You could pay me a million dollars a year and I think I would still really struggle with it. It's something I think about a lot and struggle with, because I have certainly had colleagues who seem to be able to maintain that level of craft on software projects.
I see what you're getting at, but this is a bit of a silly statement. The obvious downside of "throwing millions at people" is that you lose millions of dollars.
Please link to any example of one of Brand's youtube videos that is still running ads
It seems pretty clear that there are no in-video ads running on Brand's channel currently. People are welcome to check for themselves:
Imagine that every time you said "no" to anything, it cost you $5.
If that were the case, would you probably find it rude if people made requests of you without much consideration - because every time you have to say "no" to such a request, $5 disappears from your bank account. I mean, you can still say "no", of course, but after a while all that money you are paying out starts to take a toll on you.
"Guess" culture doesn't exist in a vacuum. It exists in places where saying "no" to a request, even an onerous request that you have every right to refuse, exacts a social toll on the person refusing the request. Most people don't like awkwardness and don't like being perceived as rude or inhospitable, so if you live in a culture where refusing a request will lead to you being perceived that way, no matter how unreasonably, then you would probably resent being forced to saying no to requests. You might even end up saying "yes" to a few requests you would otherwise have said "no" to.
Guessers are not generally narcissistic, they are just trying to be considerate, trying to avoid placing a negative burden on your shoulders when they are the ones who want something.
Of course, if you are someone who doesn't have to pay $5 every time you say no to something, then all the incentives are misaligned and I can see why it's frustrating to deal with the guesser. But try to keep in mind that there are lots of people out there who really are paying that $5 every time.
I was raised in a hardcore guess culture, but now I have seen more of the world I have no problem asking for things directly so long as the person I am asking has no problem saying no. Without knowing that, I am still a guesser.
abolish rent control and legalize building more housing
You really think there are no views that should be self-censored? There exist many views that I believe are not worthy of being aired in public
The get sent to spam or (worse) silently have the links stripped out a decent percentage of the time
This seems like a fictional problem. Who is trying to pass off insect "flour" as wheat flour? What possible motivation would a company have for doing so? Cricket "flour" costs like 10x as much as wheat flour
...which is why a land value tax is a great idea
Yes, you can have your own engineers estimate how long it should take, but those engineers i) are already familiar with your problem domain and tooling, assuming the take-home test is reflective of those, ii) estimating is hard, even for small tasks, and iii) also don't have any incentive to name a high number vs. a low number, because a low number will make them look more competent
I have completed many take-home tests for jobs I wanted, and I don't think I have ever been honest about how long such a test took.
I don't know anyone who is a loyal customer to any meal kit service and is paying full price.
But most of the production functional React code I see is sprinkled so liberally with complex `useCallback()`, `useMemo()` and `useRef()` calls to prevent unnecessary updates that it seems just as bad as before. Worse, sometimes, because the hooks pattern can encourage more indirection. I still find myself thinking all the time about object references in state, cloning vs. mutating, dependency arrays with 5, 6, 7 distinct dependencies.
Honestly, I don't know if it's any better than it used to be. At least the `componentDidReceiveProps()` logic tended to all be in one place.
I firmly believe that it is good. Neighborhoods shouldn't have the right to work together to exclude other people from moving to that neighborhood.
I believe a single Zelle identity can only be linked to a single bank account, and a Zelle identity consists of an email address, phone number or both. Typically it's the "both" option, but I think that in theory you could create multiple identities with multiple email addresses, and link each to a separate bank account
I don't know the answer, but seeing as Zelle was developed by a consortium of big banks, it's at least possible they simply don't want to support this use case, because making it harder to have multiple accounts benefits incumbents.
