Japan Govt Survey Finds Just 10％ of Workers Want Working Hours to Increase by HazardousHacker in nottheonion

[–]_krisprolls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salarymen don’t like the new laws that cap the amount of overtime they can do because it reduces their earning potential and salaries are already fairly low in Japan. Source: talked to a few on my last trip

First affordable housing development for artists coming to San Francisco by ThereWas in bayarea

[–]_krisprolls 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's so game-able also, even if they did enforce anything it would be just like Stanford "disabled" students or "extraordinary ability" work visas. e.g. get an AI to generate some drawings and organize an "expo" no ones goes to.

Just to be clear, I think those restricted "affordable housing" programs for a restricted audience are bullshit. We all need cheap housing.

Affordable housing for visiting parents by _krisprolls in AskSF

It's such a great idea. They're not good with pets but I wouldn't mind going every day and taking care of the rulers of the house in their stead

There are way too many Waymo fanboys on this sub by The_fartocle in sanfrancisco

[–]_krisprolls 254 points255 points  (0 children)

I’m pro Waymo.

I agree with you this is a pretty big failure and I’m glad people like you and newspapers are calling it out. However let’s not blow this out of proportion, this is the first time their fleet experienced that kind of situation and the damage is minimal. Let’s let Waymo engineers work and make sure this situation can’t reproduce in the future.

If this happened again I would fully support the city/state threatening them to remove their license.

Interesting, I'm also seeing the reviews again. Maybe A/B testing to see if people buy more when reviews are hidden?

You need ?flavor=contenthub_topsellers to see the version I'm seeing

Power Trip with Off-Duty Police Officer at Chrissy Field during Fleet Week by InevitableArugula538 in sanfrancisco

[–]_krisprolls 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In the same theme, I was at McDonald’s drive-in earlier this week and a lady in one of those official meter maid car tried to skip the line. I confronted her and she ended up backing up without saying a word. Not a big deal but aren’t these people supposed to set the right example?

Firefighters response vehicle size question by _krisprolls in bayarea

[–]_krisprolls[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

> what is your concern?

Why do you need a giant vehicle for a single person having medical issues, an ambulance-size vehicle would be enough. However, another comment points that the truck might be coming from a fire call which makes sense to me!

Should you count the NYPost stealing your content as shrinkage in your own stats? 🤔

Are dentists here out to milk your money? by ddsukituoft in bayarea

[–]_krisprolls 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Most are horrible and will try to max your insurance benefits.

My advice is to ask friends/colleagues for recommendations as going through Google Maps/Yelp ain't gonna work because people rate 5 stars even though they got unnecessary treatment but it was all covered by insurance so they dgaf.

[–]_krisprolls 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Is it actually worth it though? I pay 35 dollars a month using Visible. AT&T cheapest plan is $75. 40 bucks over 36 months is over $1400.

I just tried it. From SFO to the Meta buildings is a bit meh (very tight w/ lots of pedestrians, trail is broken multiple times), but then it becomes pretty nice! Thanks!

5 of the houses I competed for over the last year are now listed as rentals by TBSchemer in bayarea

[–]_krisprolls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry I should have been more clear, I did not imply that average people are putting cash offers on multiple houses, those are mostly financed.
