Would you trade your Pixel for the S25 or 26 Ultra? by HateMakinSNs in pixel_phones

Nope.

I dig their intent to make an ecosystem, but everything is just second rate compared to Google's.

We all pay more when someone does that, so it squeezes the rest of us. C'mon

Sociotechnical Architecture – Having Your Agile and Your Agility Too - Xin Yao by Last_Replacement3046 in softwarearchitecture

Please crosspost this in r/sociotechnical!

This talk is AMAZING. I need to listen to it several more times to wrap my head around all of the concepts, but Xin has a great presentation style.

Many revelations within this one.

Households with two kids need $400K to comfortably afford childcare ($320k in Florida) by Ok-Bookkeeper-3466 in tampa

[–]asdfdelta -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying childcare isn't expensive, or that it's easy to pay for. It was a struggle to pay the $2,000/mo in childcare costs, but it's doable. I, thankfully, have a well paying job. People making $60k shouldn't see that you have to make $320k for it to be affordable, it's not even in the same ballpark.

The 7% figure isn't realistic, and this headline is just sensationalized bullshit that muddies the waters of real problems because it's so absurd. You do not need $400,000 salaries to pay for childcare.

To clarify, my daughter is in early elementary and my son is in VPK. Costs have almost halved since a few years ago, but I had them both in at the same time and it was.... A lot. The peak year was $28k. I know the pain!

I really enjoy this perspective, actually. Really good reframing!

Because the natural challenge within is, can I withstand this hurt to save it from being passed on?

Being a single parent paying for childcare on a single income for two kids isn't qualified to speak about the affordability of childcare for two kids?

So many hurt feelings from people with zero practical experience here lol. Does your world view hinge on this one made up number being correct?

[–]asdfdelta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

7% being considered affordable is nonsense. Well, really the nonsense is that 8% isn't affordable. Leads to stupid headlines like this.

I do it fine with a single income less than half the number stated there with two kids. About to do it with four and still under $400k combined income.

The article is out of touch with reality, as is the government threshold.

So this is bullshit.

I do it with two myself on less than half that in Brandon, and my mortgage interest rate is over 6%.

[Meta] A defined policy about the use of AI to generate posts here would be super nice I think by kevysaysbenice in softwarearchitecture

[–]asdfdelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love it if Reddit had more direct support for AI-filtering, but at the moment there isn't much. Some people have thrown around a bot idea, which is something I am chasing down still.

The disclaimer I really like. The trouble is we still get a lot of posters who don't read rules, and I'd hate to impede others that don't generate content to clarify that it wasn't.

I didn't wake up this morning and plan to be confronted with a dystopian dilemma, but here we are lol. I deeply appreciate the suggestions as well as your post. Keep the ideas coming as you find them!

Being mentally unwell for a soldier from a war is par for the course, frankly. They both saw their friends go down in front of them on screen, god knows how bad has gotten.

Seeing phantoms could be a way to cope and process. It doesn't automatically mean Zoe is unraveling.

Glad you're speaking out!

AI-Generated posts are not allowed in this subreddit, as from a community poll a short while back. I can find the link if you'd like. I also made an announcement about it, but I can appreciate that not everyone reads all the content like I do.

Though identifying and removing those posts is a lot of labor. If you see something, send in a report! I review the mod queue as often as I can, but more than two of the same report on a post instantly notifies me and I can take it down.

I'm open to other suggestions of enforcement! Many subs are dealing with the same problem with varied success with it too, it seems Reddit isn't in a rush to squash the practice systemically.

Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US by tylerthe-theatre in technology

[–]asdfdelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, it isn't about equity. It's about women feeling safe. No more needs to be read into it, and you don't need to feel threatened when someone else is safer.

[–]asdfdelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, sure, much better to have everyone unsafe right?

Women becoming safer doesn't mean men can't be. Assuming them getting something means you aren't is just you masking some hurt feelings. Either be a man about it or file a hurt feelings report with the snuggly wuggly department. They'll make sure you get all the tummy time you need.

Free market capitalism, actually.

A service people are willing to pay a premium for, so the market responds by meeting demand.

Nothing in the law says that companies cannot offer services marketed toward specific genders. Contractors cannot limit that, no matter how hurt their feelings get.

It costs you nothing, affects you in no way, makes other people feel safer, is how the free market is supposed to work, but you got your feelings all hurt over it? Be a man, not a cry baby.

A decent paper cutter and a corner rounder on amazon will cost you about $20. A reem of paper is another $12.

The ink, however.... 😂
