For one-off questions, a local archive makes sense.

This is more for elaborate projects where you don't know precisely what you are looking for. Questions I can think of in a survival scenario:

- my solar panel connector is broken. We only have 8 hr battery left. Can you tell me how to DIY repair it with the following parts

- we want to receive emergency FM broadcasts from the state. Give me steps on how to receive it on Flipper Zero with this breakout board I found in my spare parts

- with the dewalt drill and these parts, can you tell me how to build an outboard motor for the canoe. We need to get outta here before the flood goes up further

Of course the U.S and allies like Canada/Australia have all the critical minerals needed. But the U.S. does not have the ecosystem to mine and process it. The author suggests critical R&D but the administration is also waging war on the top universities (Harvard & co.), and generally looking down on what's coming from them. A good researcher is going to have a pact with the devil to agree to this, unless the administration throws money and brute force at the problem.

how much RAM do you have? I want to compare with my local setup (M4 Pro)

I had a shock when I looked up prices for H100 gpus, wanting to use one just for personal experimentation and for an upcoming hackathon. How much this one costs? $300,000?

Airbnb doesn’t have a hosts supply issue. Actually in the past 3 years, hosts growth outpace guests growth

The issue is Airbnb attracted recently a lot of get-rich-quick types, similar to what see for Amazon sellers or crypto bros. We are far from the savvy host who want to share travel experiences and give you a unique experience

Where I am, there are frequent power cuts or Internet is down because of a storm. We do have a generator so we can keep on living. I hate the fact tho that I'm not able to pay for content I paid for : movies, fitness classes, music etc.

So looking to build a media server full of content, via legal means or piracy!

Another motivation is while I'm ok paying now, what about in 20 or 30 years time? Maybe there will be a time where I want to discard my credit card, but still want to be able to enjoy movies. I would have paid then thousands of dollars to streaming services. A media server with my favorite content sounds like a better bet.

The US exports $25B worth of soybeans per year, which is one of the most water intensive crop. Should these exports be banned? same for almonds, cotton, rice etc.

Airbnb Support is the worst. They speak and write very well, and make you feel they listen to you and will do their best to solve your issue. In most cases though, they will come back to you with a negative answer and will leave you in the worst of situations. You can check the reddit sub /airbnb or on Twitter.

Having 0 support like Google would be much better than being promised help will come, then having various customer agents taking over your case from scratch and then after exhaustion, being told you won't be refunded or no action will be taken

This is not just Portugal. I see similar sentiment in Canada where young professionals in Vancouver or Toronto complain they can't buy their first home and Vancouver has been "sold out" to foreigners. Similar sentiment in Australian major cities as well.

Review the take-home assignment. Is it really relevant to the job ?

And if you really have to have it, is it specific and interesting? For example don’t ask to use a JavaScript library if the job post specifically asked for talent in rust.

Did they continue tracking health effects years after they study ? It’s possible the drugs reversed the body clock but will accelerate it after. Much like coffee gives you a temporary boost, then makes you crash later

Article seems to indicate it's not arrests but patrols that are correlated with theft. Patrols dissuade potential thefts

r/poor only has 7k members - it's insignificant compared to other subs

Try to see overlaps for r/frugal or r/bitcoin if you really want to see if poverty is linked to crypto
