strangesmells06··on Ask HN: I can't find a job. What do I do?
Lol gotta get interviews to fail them
strangesmells06··on No One Wants to Pay Anymore
Ive noticed the worst customer service offenders are companies in monopoly condition markets.

Utility companies, cell phone companies, student loan servicers, finance companies (mortgage and house), government...,

etcetera

Once theres no competition a customer needing help becomes a burden. These companies then usually outsource customer service to the most clueless people and have extra long wait times.

strangesmells06··on I will always prefer to work from home
Agreeed! Commute is rough also.
strangesmells06··on Ask HN: I can't find a job. What do I do?
I have a decade of experience and a masters degree.

Devoted the best parts of my life to 50-60 hour weeks in tech.

Im about to go work at an Amazon warehouse.

Tech is basically over now.

strangesmells06··on Ask HN: I can't find a job. What do I do?
Have several of those. Doesnt help. Lol
strangesmells06··on I will always prefer to work from home
Yes! This! I think anyone would not mind the office if they werent treated like cattle.

I dont think people dread going back to the office. People dread going back to the open office.

it's not even the most efficient search. I don't think any sort method in a language would use a bubble.

10, 000, 000 bucks to homeless pet needs?

This would be great but try and find out where a homeless person can go and get help for their pet...thats no where to be found. The money just went ...somewhere.

Government's have a way of disappearing money.

Whats the advantage of Claude?
strangesmells06··on ChatGPT Plus subscriptions are being listed on eBay after OpenAI blocked signups
Its weird I didn't update my chatgpt app and was able sign up two days ago even though sign ups were blocked.

Makes you wonder if they just removed the UI component and if you could reverse engineer the sign up process you could make money.

They absolutely do, but they spend it on other things.

Well if your proposed scenario as more houses transition to single family homes...renter supply will decrease.

But also as more people transition to single family homes renter demand will decrease as well.

It equals out except instead of private equity firm owning all the houses, normal people will.

They take your shelter that you spent a lifetime working towards?

Not much more dire than that.

Easily solved zoning problem....theres already tons of zoning with size restrictions.

Or just make the law have size limitations to be eligible for the exemption.

Easily addressed issue. Not even worth duscussing.

> hence making rental properties a less desirable asset, reducing the numbers built and increasing the cost of renting.

On the flip side it would increase the number of single family homes and make them cheaper so people could afford them and stop renting.

Sounds like a huge win for single familys and huge hit to giant private equity funds buying up homes and land to turn the middle class into an eternal population of renting serfs.

It would also keep communities intact as people would never be priced out of their own home.

Net win for everyone but the private equity landlords and bloated government.

What you seem to not understand is that the government has enough money to maintain the roads with out property tax entirely. It would force the government to be more efficient with their money and shrink the governement to just the essentials.

You think any for of US government operates on a shoestring budget? They are the most bloated entities on the earth. And its based off the backs of the poor and middle class.

strangesmells06··on The 'Georgists' Are Out and they want to tax your land
I dont follow.

Taxes would still happen on renter investment property.

Just not someones personal home.

So no subsiding at all.

strangesmells06··on The 'Georgists' Are Out and they want to tax your land
I find it absurd that the government can come take the house of a 70-year-old whose retired and cant keep up with the property tax skyrocketing around them.

I find it absurd that rich people can move to an area they like and displace all the families that have been there generations by virtue of property tax increases effectively conquering the land.

I find it absurd that the government can take your home AT ALL after you have spent your whole life paying for it.

strangesmells06··on The 'Georgists' Are Out and they want to tax your land
I personally think people's first property should be tax-free. their actual home.

people own more than that The property should be taxed

also corporation-owned properties should be taxed

edit: i mean annual property taxes

strangesmells06··on Starship will attempt a launch this Friday
Haha its true if you enumerate his business almost all have been extremely successful and in some of the hardest domains possible.

Ebay, Starlink, Tesla, SpaceX

I mean come on.

strangesmells06··on Starship will attempt a launch this Friday
Gotcha! So this test criteria this weekend may not be to reach orbit, but just test out heavy booster and getting starship correct trajectory.

If they crash into the ocean do you know if they are supposed to be recoverable or will they sink?

strangesmells06··on Starship will attempt a launch this Friday
Has Starship ever launched successfully yet?

i.e. if it makes it will this be the first? i.e. a really big deal?

Capitalism eventually becomes Japan. Corporations and 80 hour work weeks.
strangesmells06··on Apple agrees to $25M settlement with US over hiring of immigrants
Just give your favored person leetcode easy questions and your non favored person leetcode hard...

Those interviews are designed around favoritism.

Additionally favored people can skip the interview with the right managers approval.

Whe I worked at LinkedIn it was almost 100% Indians on my team and the rest of the department was like 75% non-American.

The chain of command is literally all Indian people except Ryan R.
