  • Gog is not in the bridge building business though

  • Build more homes. A lot of housing regulations tend to make things worse

  • Because Linux still makes up a small % of PC Gamers, so CDPR hasn't prioritized it. Plus they'd need to have some kind of proton-like middleware (or just proton) for the majority of their games (which are mostly 15-20+ years old) to be playable. It seems like a large engineering challenge for a company which isn't nearly as wealthy as valve

  • The incentive to build new housing is to then turn around and sell that housing, they don't need an incentive, they need permission.

  • No, it's because of a lack of new supply. Most houses are owned by the people who live in them, not land lords

  • The only reason rent would decrease in response to economic conditions would be if they started building tons and tons of houses and supply began to outpace demand. OR, your country were experiencing deflation, which is bad

  • You're wrong, building more housing is THE solution. The vast majority of homes are owned by people who live in them, not landlords. Building more housing is literally the ONLY solution.

  • The vast majority of software run on Windows these days runs in a web browser. The legacy shit in windows doesn't impact most software engineers

  • I am absolutely not trying to antagonize you. I'm sorry that you interpreted it that way

  • Money is like radioactive material. Having a little bit in your house probably is fine but having a mountain of it will make you hole up in a Las Vegas hotel with tissue boxes for shoes

  • When did I say that? Point out one single line that even remotely implies this. Flagrant strawman. What else would you call it?

    Perhaps, I dunno, a misunderstanding?? Why do you assume everyone is out to get you? Why do you interpret everything as hostility?

    How do you intend to pay for a search engine without signing in to it and having it track your search history?

  • Read my comment again, because I neither accused you of anything nor reduced your argument. I'm not the original poster you replied to

  • Maybe. They use several other indexes as their backend so they have to pay microsoft for every search

  • So you won't pay for a subscription to use a search engine. Do you prefer the model that other search engines use where they take the content of your searches and use it to advertise to you?

  • It's because you have to pay for the search engine. They dont serve ads

  • I argue that we should replace property taxes with income taxes because property taxes lead to disparities in outcomes between different jurisdictions. Then an old man can be secure in his own property without depriving the public of funds.

    And I disagree with your premise that property taxes pay for a decent education. We don't have decent education in the United States and I truly believe that no amount of money will fix that

    What is the etiquette for skipping after-work events?

    I work remote, but occasionally have to travel to New York City for in-office events. During these events I sit in a conference room with the rest of my team all day. We usually have a team dinner planned during the week or something.

    Tuesday I got into New York and later that night we went out to dinner. This ended up going until 10:30pm, which is pretty late for me (I usually am in bed by 10). It was also announced that day that we would go bowling today (Wednesday). After a day of sitting in a conference room for 8 straight hours, I really didn't feel like going out with my coworkers or drinking beer til 10 or 11 at night. I told my coworkers I was going to skip it because I wanted to go to the gym and I made something up about having to file my taxes by tonight, but I think they generally understood that I just didn't want to go.

    I also was never explicitly invited; we were just told "we are going bowling on Wednesday", so I think there was the expectation that I go, but I st
