You’ve gotta replace some stuff yearly on those houses by ocean spray, it’s actually a bigger problem than it might seem

Absolutely. I once looked at an apartment on IJmuiden beach, it was only a few years old and it looked as if it was 50 years old (and had not been maintained in those 50 years).

The cynical read for “why wait until the last week” is to make China/US relations even more difficult for Biden. The Trump admin doesn’t have to deal with fallout.

Have you seen React Native Windows (https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows) and react-native-macos (https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-macos)? I haven't used either, but they both look very popular, 5k-10k stars on Github.

I was aware, but I don't recall those projects being very active. Additionally, IIRC they're both implementing their UI widgets differently rather than trying to build a common API that is desktop agnostic. There also is this project: https://github.com/status-im/react-native-desktop which seems somewhat more active, and also supports linux (which is much more important to me than windows support).

I downloaded the macOS UI Explorer, and it seems to not be using vibrancy correctly.

Gluten free also refers to processing. If something is made in the same facility / alongside a product with gluten it’s a serious problem with people with Celiac.

It does.

In what way exactly? can you explain please? How is my point changed whether I use 0.001% or 0.000001% or 0.00000001%? The overall idea of a "very small number" is conveyed regardless of the number of zeroes used - if that's not true, please enlighten me.

Lol, no it doesn't. It wasn't a statistical value and nothing they said even alluded to it being an accurate value.

They would play around with the definition of "commercialized".

"Technically we offered it on sale for $500,000; nobody buys it so we've never made one, but it's still on the market!"

"But you’ve had civilizations rise and fall by a change in material strength by a decimal point, and now you’re talking about orders of magnitude."

Does anyone know what he's referring to in this comment?

I would assume Bronze -> Iron -> Steel would be the changes he's alluding to.

Why? If California is your norm, keep in mind that California has 20% of the U.S.'s homeless population (California, Texas, and Florida have 58% of the under-18 homeless population). It's really not a universal problem.

Yep. It's hard to be homeless in Michigan.

I can understand the reasoning, but in fact there are many homeless in northern cities. New York, for example, has a large number. Perhaps migration isn't common among the homeless.

Sunk costs are sunk costs, and opportunity cost is very real. Don't sink more into it if you don't believe in the future of the product AND the team AND the company as a whole.

All the tech workers I know in the U.S. have very satisfying careers, but it depends on your metric and who you're talking to. Many of my Southeast Asian and Indian tech friends work hard to get to the U.S., and I don't see the reverse happening much.
