Conservative news circles have had this latent anti-NYC thing going on since Trump admonished it as a liberal mecca during his presidency.

Then when the pandemic hit and NYC was devastated, they were practically holding group orgy parties to get each other off about the fall of the city.

Then when the city started bouncing back it became "Well no, it's bouncing back as a dangerous crime ridden hell hole."

The "NYC is dangerous" thing is literally just conservative cope for the failed collapse during the pandemic.


hating on NYC has been a thing since well before trump. even before george W


Seriously. The whole "Ford to NYC: Drop Dead" thing was in 1975...


I'd single out Garmin especially for the HN crowd.

While other watches seem to go in the "consumers like their data in simple colored blobs and are scared of numbers", Garmin goes hard on "chart and graph everything"


Big fan of my Forerunner 945 and use to wear it nearly 24/7, but its been giving me bad rashes on my wrist, so only wear it when running/hiking/swimming. Superior to the Apple watch for health data.


Spray the atmosphere with reflective particles and work relentlessly to get CO2 out of the air.

SRM: “It is not a solution but an extremely dangerous band-aid that covers up the global warming problem without healing it, creating a false and unwarranted sense of climate safety while the core of the problem continues to fester.”


Sundar needed to be kicked out years ago.


Google has to dump Sundar and bring in a more old school leader. Google is a massive company and has to stop doing it's "everything is beta all the time, with teams internally competing for the same territory"

I'm so put off by it, and been made a fool by it so many times, I'm phasing out Google in my life and long ago stopped recommending Google products to people in my life.


Beta blockers block adrenaline, it's not particularly dangerous to do so.


Studies like these are why social sciences get so much flak.


Imagine trying to fairly buy/sell anything in an opaque market.


Virtually any market with slight differences in each product.


That isn't a mosquito trap, that's flying insect genocide


It might catch a few mosquitos But the majority is going to be small flying insects. But more so the “bait” is likely completely in effective


Yeah it’s a simple, effective trap for small flying insects, but any CO2 from the seltzer is clearly going to be sucked through the fan and dispersed.


Yeah I would be concerned about butterflies, moths, bees, etc. it’s also got to use a lot of energy.


It's a band aid to bridge the gap between the insane demand in HCOL areas and the inability to find labor in those markets.

How can you staff a warehouse for $15/hr in places were a studio starts at $1250/mo?

I wouldn't be one bit surprised of Amazon starts getting into real estate, offering employees monthly "rent vouchers".


Why wouldn't they just pay more? If they're giving you a rent voucher for an apartment whose market rate is $1250 a month, normally that would show up as income on your W2. https://www.thebalancesmb.com/when-is-employee-housing-taxab...

There are cases like remote locations where an employer can provide housing tax-free but likely not near an expensive city.


They might issue voucher nominally for $1250. But redeem it for $1000.

So the landlords might decide if they want to not rent to Amazon employees or agree to take less from them but keep the high listing price for others.


Or just starts approximating to the future of "Sorry to Bother You" and just builds its own campus where you live and work.
