Every single, new building puts downward pressure on the average price. The moment supply outstrips demand, prices goes down, housing market stops being reasonable asset, money outflows causing further collapse of the market and houses are dirt cheap.
This checks as long you give your rate/price upfront. This would be a scam if you DO the work and THEN charge non-market rate/price.
You literally can set arbitrary price to your time and at worst there won't be anyone willing to pay it.
I've been reading everything I could on economy and finance in my early twenties and Lyn Alden blog is the only thing I needed then and wasn't available. She is pure gold — I know no one that is able to explain complex topics in this context with such clarity.
There is no shortage of skills in markets where employers can filter people by 'culture fit'.
Voice recognition is 'on' all the time as it needs to recognise 'keyword'. All you need then is simple transcription into text.
This happen a few years back in UI design when designers started to put more work into presentation of projects than projects themselves.
I used to use memrise [flash card style memorisation] to learn new words/concepts for years [25minutes, the first thing after waking up, every single day] and I know from experience how sleep, food, hangover, etc. impact my performance.
Sleep has a gigantic impact on my memory, focus and creativity — I believe it is responsible for really high variation in IQ points [10 - 20, but that's my rough guesstimate]. This is a more qualitative assessment but whey I sleep 4 hours it resembles a high level of depression — I lose motivation and all of my natural curiosity is gone [eg. usually, reading/learning brings me happiness, but it's all gone when I'm sleep deprived].
That's why I haven't used an alarm clock for years now.
I have a personal, sad and rather extreme theory — anything that can be done remotely will be commoditized. But that's another story.
Remote work puts downward pressure on the highest salaries [think globalisation but on a smaller scale — poor countries are main beneficiaries of globalisation]. People with a low amount of opportunities will have more opportunities [upward pressure] and the highest earners will need to compete with higher number of people [downward pressure].
It literally decreases inequality.
The article points out that there is a difference in earnings and higher-earning jobs can be done remotely more often, which is not that valuable insight itself but it is meaningless in the context of inequality. People that have jobs that can't be done remotely are 'constant' in this equation — their situation won't change meaningfully.
It has nothing to do with the language itself and everything to do with the user of the language.

The shell is a pretty awesome place to be in if you asked me.
Decentralize all the things.
Just a few days ago I wanted to research some nasty disease and I used brave on TOR to watch some stuff about it on YT.
First thing after I opened FB was a clinical laboratory tests adv.
