Even for upper middle class parents, "using a screen as a babysitter" just means you're more stressed and have less hands around. My kiddo has not seen a screen at the age of 2, but that's just because he has two…

This is an issue in other cities that don’t have prop 13 fwiw, the United States just does not do redevelopment barring a few poor inner neighborhoods getting gentrified by foreclosures in like Houston or Dallas. That’s…
Consequences for American car executives, are you crazy? Have you seen Stellantis cars recently? Large parts of the US (and European most likely) car industry is driving straight into irrelevance
It is though, like, 90-95% of suburbia, and why the US has close to 100% of car commuters ( https://vis.csh.ac.at/citiesmoving/ ). Even small cities like Rennes (or even Clermont-Ferrand, which has objectively mediocre…
Folks did not have kids during WW1 though: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalité_en_France#/media/Fich... :)
Yeah, the main issue with differential privacy is that you need competent government officials making decisions who understand math beyond a high school level.
Selective layoffs vs arbitrary people having to leave the country have very different consequences
> The law does have immigrant visas for people who can come here and say "I want to work here and seek permanent residency. I'm not intending to go back." H1B isn't like that. you are, obviously, interpreting the law to…
I mean, the issue is that a large number H1B folks have vital skills for the US economy and that even just 20% of those leaving would mean every single big tech company would be in immense trouble
I mean, both GDP and average salaries in Czechia is higher so arguably at some point you might want playgrounds for your children
Compared to cost of living though?
You essentially have no data to back this up though, especially given the filed H1B/L-1 labor data for big tech is first year of employement with only base salary, which bears no ressemblance to what their wages will be…
> There's a 5 hour limit and a weekly limit. Those are hard token limits I mean, humans sleep and do other things than work, so they likely don’t hit their weekly limits or their 5 hour limits every single 5 hour chunk…
That’s because you use the button to make them whole screen?
I had to go look at my Costco and Amazon orders to check because my intuition was that I spent so much more money in diapers in the first year and indeed, that was like ~75% of the cost of the first two years. Toddlers…
Yeah, but you can hunt for discounts to reduce that bill quite a bit
Eh, you have to wash poop off them in a washer at high temps, so it’s a bit harder to compute. IIRC if you use the dryer it’s a wash: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a7c4096ed915...
Hard to say how much money you’ve saved because running the washer and dryer is not free though :)
Sales tax in the US is nowhere near 25% :)
$499 with carrier subsidy too
And your line is thinking is how we end up with what is going on at the Pentagon, and less innovation in our industry :)
Half of the best engineers I know come from a random state school, from a random country, and we should work way harder than we do on finding those people. But also… the other half come from prestigious colleges, and…
