This is great news. I love that tech jobs and workers are spreading out.

Some concentration is good but it’s way over saturated. That said real estate is still bonkers in Seattle (and everywhere really) so even with a huge out flow it isn’t even making a dent in affordability.

Fwiw and totally unrelated but, starting pay for SPD is $98k and goes up over $100k after first year of experience. Plus OT.

Grim point in time for these men.

> Bribes work but the cost of draft-dodging is $800, an exorbitant amount for most people in an already poor area with an economy now crippled by the war.

> Men pushing the top end of the draft age group have grown beards in an attempt to look older, although the raising of the upper limit to 65 means grey hair alone offers little protection.

Super cool little fun product. I like that Snap tries to be different and take chances on hardware.

Their glasses never really took off but they still iterated on it and did a second version and I’m sure some of the lessons learned there were applied to this product.

I’m curious to learn about how it does indoors.

He's going to fit in great with the rest of Amazon leadership.

I think most trucks have this feature now. My tacoma has a couple outlets in the bed as well. I've seen it on a few different american truck brands too.

It's been a handy feature for me

> Listeners won’t have to pay to access the episodes, but they will have to become Spotify users. Spotify said in a press release that Rogan retains creative control over his show. It didn’t disclose how much it spent on the deal. The company will also work with an ad agency to jointly sell ads against the program. Rogan said last year his show reached about 190 million downloads a month.

What an unfortunate ending to JRE for me. A show that used to be sponsored by flesh-light and filmed in Joe's living room is now a celebrity talk show hosted in a walled garden.

Huge props to Joe and Young Jamie for growing it into this behemoth but sucks to see them turn their back on free publishing/consuming model of podcasting.

Also worth noting that just about every redlight intersection has cameras mounted on top pointing at traffic in each direction.

It's pretty much impossible to navigate through a city anonymously in a vehicle.

Now with facial recognition software getting so advanced I'd water it's impossible to walk through a city anonymously as well.

They don't necessarily need aerial imagery when every intersection has HD cameras pointing at you.

This whole story is written into a narrative to weep for landlords.

24 properties and can't pay mortgages, does she owe money on all 24 properties... or could she sell some of them she owns and reduce her debt load maybe?

> Many landlords operate on thin margins, typically 9 cents for every $1.

What kind of horseshit figure is this!? Someone tell me what they mean, do landlords have a 9% profit margin on a static piece of property and that isn't enough still?

> Many landlords aren’t any better off than their tenants and certainly aren’t rich enough to credibly pull off a bow tie, says Jan Lee, who manages two buildings in New York’s Chinatown that his family has owned for nearly a century.

Owns 2 properties in the most ridiculous real estate market in the US but doesn't make money, ok. Oh wait, it's that he can't pay property taxes this year, even though he hasn't had a mortgage for 70 years and is coming out of a 10 year bull run.
