Is really about the real estate. Vacant space is a liability. Sometimes useful as such, sometimes not. In most orgs right now, not that many folks are actually doing the work. CSR, some front end developers. Most of the rest are shuffling papers and having meetings and âoenetworking.â Occupancy and real estate development are largely investment games.

Weâ(TM)ve known at least since the 1950s that industries like insurance (not the same as utilizing the economics of risk pools mind you) cost more to exist than they provide in value (as R. Buckminster Fuller). WFH v. RTO just highlights this.

Serious question: what can html, js and css do today that they couldn't 10 or even 15 years ago, at least for the user? I think the only cool, new, user-friendly innovation I have seen in that timeframe is passkeys. Granted, I don't run across random sites like I used to.

What you say is true, but is compounded by the downsized high productivity consider humans as fungible capital/reaources development mentality of the last couple decades.

Thatâ(TM)s a super helpful comment and a valuable reframe, I appreciate that.

But if you need a game as an incentive to make a challenging trek, youâ(TM)re doing it wrong.

> and when a serious illness hits you in the EU or Canada why do you try your best to get to the US for treatments that your socialize medicines won't or can't cover?

Why are so many Americans taking âoemedical vacationsâ in Mexico and elsewhere?

And to your point about immigration, just because things suck worse other places doesnâ(TM)t mean America still sucks for many. Iâ(TM)m well off atm, but Iâ(TM)m also a just person, and I can see how my lifestyle is supported by extractive and unjust policies of America (and also Europe and Japan).

Your bill, and American supply problems, could be eliminated by shifting away from single family detached housing.

how to optimize code to run efficiently.

And also how to use code efficiently.

I wonder what it would be like if agents werenâ(TM)t trying to communicate like humans. In other words humans would have to learn more technical way of interacting, which would free up significant processing power on the output, even if the output is meant to be humanish.

Are you kidding man? Apple hardware has never been cheaper and the os is included.

But better quality of life overall for regular folks.

It would be nice to have a 1985 toyota sized pickup period. But I think bezos has been teasing a cheap, small ev pickup thing for a while.

As discussed elsewhere, neoliberalism has pushed healthcare into a commodified profit generator which very strongly promotes pill and procedure consumption.

But weâ(TM)re talking about a home remedy here, with seriously ancient origins. Adding psychedelics to the milieu could disrupt neoliberalismâ(TM)s hold.

FTA âoeThe exact arrangement will vary from one neighborhood or region to the next, but itâ(TM)s likely that Span will take on paying the hostâ(TM)s electricity and internet bills directly, and charge a flat fee every month thatâ(TM)s much lower than what the host would otherwise pay to their electric utility and internet service provider,"

Personally, I wouldnâ(TM)t accept this without a payout plus coverage of all my electric bill plus an upgraded internet tube (free) plus access to the heat plus soundproofing plus money in a bond to cover removal when the company fails. But thatâ(TM)s just me.

Also the article says the homeowner gets âoeaccess to innovative technology.â

This sounds like doublespeak where âoeaccess toâ means âoethe burden ofâ.

i agree with most if what you said but add a couple things.

One, the Republican complaint about identity politics and dei contains a kernel of legitimate criticism: the left, not just the dems or political class but the whole left, has mostly become concerned with elite issues* In a way twas always thus, but in the past the left elites *also* genuinely cared about folks who do real work for a living (or would if they could find it).

Two-there is a path forward. If enough elites can set aside their shit for a minute, we could probably put together a compelling coalition that would work against racial, sexuality, etc. exclusion, and care about the greater world that sustains humanity, and makes sure everyone is provided for with dignity.

Fear-masked by anger-is a helluva drug.

You know it could be Amazon propaganda, looking for welfare-er-unforeseeable economic adjustment relief.
