Metronome apps are paid now or have an 'ad' tier. I took my money and spent it on a real metronome.

I actually didn't know that. If not, then cool!

Ferrari tends to sell well, partially due to allocation requirements so you have to factor that in. There will be a market for the car, but Ferrari is a mix of a car company, a lif…

Not anymore. Their numbers are higher nowadays.

The Luce seems to disprove that, at least in his case.

That's not how it works. More competition will bring the price of those down.

That is all that is allowed due to local and state zoning codes. Loosening restrictions on what can be built will bring down costs and all for more types of buildings. The bland ho…

Nobody advocates for fixing the price. People want more supply which will bring the cost of housing as a whole down or at least provide more price diversity. Is it even beneficial …

You can't look at the cost of a house out of context. If you look at Flint, Michigan it's actually one of the most expensive places in the country if you account for average income…

If my parents are indicative of anything, they're just going with the flow and believing it'll all magically work out.

Health care costs at the end of your life can eat everything you've ever saved and more. Cost of maintenance on housing is increasing and property insurance rates + HOA rates are g…

If every employee makes 100k (let's say that's an average. Some make more, some make less). That 50m in salary alone, not including benefits like 401k or health insurance. And that…

The point is that MS is spending a crap ton of money to produce a product that is marginally better gameplay wise than a game like DUSK, which was made by a few people (I actually …

Just to play devils advocate, was all of that worth it? There are equally fun or more fun indie games that don't have great graphics, but the gameplay is astounding. DUSK is an exa…

I think a lot of people buy furniture and clothing on Amazon. It's extremely cheap and easy to return, or just throw away if you can't return it (not endorsing that).

I worked in infra as a firmware engineer and it was something else. Very amateurish

Having worked at meta, something I noticed is that the orgs that were well run were ones that were bought. WhatsApp, reality, insta, etc. I worked in an org that was not associated…

It's always been difficult for new grads to get jobs. Most new grads are a net negative for the first year or two because they're just not good at much and probably don't have the …

All the empty housing is not near where jobs are, you could make the houses dirt cheap and if there are few jobs then they're actually relatively expensive to the population. Also,…

I think it's just indians being racist. The person could've put any other non white category and it would've happened.

How do you make use of something that you don't understand?

The decision to buy vs. rent is completely dependent & goal dependent. If you're in the bay area, buying really only makes sense if you have kids and want them to be in a good publ…

People keep saying open source is an example of how copyright doesn't quite matter. However, many of the biggest open source projects are contributed to by massive corporations. Li…

It's highly cynical, but people need to work. It provides structure and most people don't do well with unstructured time. Also, I find it odd that of all the automation being attem…

Meta programming in C++ can enable you to remove lots of runtime branching in your code at the cost binary size.
