Also looking for the same. I haven't used it personally but Lenovo T14 AMD version has been getting rave reviews.
There is also Thinkpad Nano coming up in January. It is super thin and lightweight, not sure if it would be good enough for heaving programming though

Parking tickets aren't meant to be an income stream
Some DMVs are selling customer data to private companies. People who are supposed to wear ankle bracelets are charged rent by private companies with govt contracts to do so. Those are just two examples that I could think of, without even googling. They are gonna do whatever they can, for revenue.
A good percentage of the population believes government should be run like a business, without understanding the implications. Also people don't like taxes, even justified ones. All this leads parking tickets style situations.

Reasons to get a degree:
Immigration - degrees help a lot, if you are trying to get a work visa.
Resume filtration in big companies - many companies have policies that they will consider someone for a software development position, only if they have a degree. You probably do not want to work for such companies, at least not for long.
Learning theory - personally I find it easier to learn theory in a classroom from a teacher, with peers.
A lot depends on the school and the curriculum too. If your goal is for immigration, get any approved degree from any school and be done with it. If you truly want to learn, then it would make sense to look for tough courses from reputed universities.
Everyone's situation is unique. It is kinda hard to give a generic answer.

I've also seen downvotes if I ever criticize landlords on HN, even when they are valid criticisms.

I guess it is a difficult position to be in, especially in the current administration. If you leave, you know your replacement is likely going to be unqualified, yes men. If you stay, you conscience will bother you and you won't be able to do much good anyway.

Many DOJ attorneys resigned from this case in protest
Wouldn't this give Barr the opportunity to bring in people who always agree with him and make the situation worse? Not just this case against Google, but in general.

I am actually interested in what goes into building such a product. It would take tremendous resources to crawl millions of websites, not to mention fingerprinting tons of libraries and accounting for all the edge cases...

Why use FB at all? I understand they have the audience, but if they treat you so poorly to the point of bankruptcy, what is the point? Aren't you encouraging bad behaviour by sticking with them?

therefore I’m moving for a year or so until things fully reopen
Do you see an end to this pandemic in the next year or so? A good percentage of people are still refusing to wear masks, we aren't anywhere closer to a vaccine etc. I am trying to be optimistic, but the situation isn't improving from any direction and we are already 10 months in :(

I am interested too. Do you have email or a contact form (I am not on twitter)?
