A quick search show plenty of solid hotel choices under $350 during the week, in fact plenty of good choices around the $250 mark you mentioned.


Last time I visited NYC was 2015. Just checked my Airbnb history, $45 a night for a room in bed stuy.

$250 a night is insanity. I guess I should be thankful I visited NYC when I did, because it looks like I’ll never be able to afford to go back.


You can touch up an old car because they were not made to crumple when hit, which makes them pretty unsafe.


This ignores the impact of wildfire smoke on people, which affects a much larger population.


Your insurance carrier isn’t going to cancel your policy because of smoke


More so commenting on that many Californians will notice the impact of wildfires, regardless if they are in an area prone to wildfires.


They aren't going to cancel, but at least StateFarm won't renew or sell new homeowners insurance.


While they are the largest in CA, there are 100 home insurance companies operating in California. Also the excuse of wildfire doesn’t make much sense. They also cite high building costs, but policies are priced on how much insurance people buy, so that doesn’t make much sense either. Also, State Farm is renewing, just no new policies.

Do you not think major insurers like StateFarm pulling out of the market will drive premiums up for the average folks?


Mocking protestors feels a bit like punching down. They're just regular people trying to do anything possible to wake people up. Not their fault those with power seem to be doing very little to change things meaningfully.


"Those with power" are the voters, the vast majority of whom would gladly run them all over in order to save a few dollars. We're getting exactly what we deserve.


In the US, the majority of people (even the majority of Republicans) support policies for fighting climate change. https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2020/06/23/two-thirds-of...


Any policy that doesn't include raising the cost of driving might as well be useless. And I bet the vast majority of people don't want that.


Remember, republicans regularly vote because "gas went up" while they choose to drive a pickup truck that gets half the fuel economy of other options while they never even use the truck bed, and while they ignore that if gas going up a few cents a gallon significantly impacts your financial situation then you were in a very bad place already and you should maybe consider how that happend (it's probably not the liberals who have had like six years of total fed control over the past 40 years and have basically never held power in actual states) and also you can cut your fuel usage in so many goddamn ways that don't involve voting for the party that refuses to allow military appointments because he's upset that we allow trans people in the army.


People regularly vote because "gas went up". It's not just Republicans. Unfortunately the party that says "climate change is a hoax and you don't have to change" is always going to win over the one that says "we have to conserve and you have to live less luxuriously in order for us to make it."

I live in a liberal area. Hardly any Trump voters here. Getting people to drive slightly less or even allowing a bike lane to allow other people to drive slightly less is viewed as the apocalypse.


Don't forget Elizabeth Holmes and Do Kwon!


Twitter and Reddit for some reason get a pass from Apple's App Store Guidelines on this. It seems unlikely any other app will be able to have as explicit NSFW content as those two.


All of my ads now are weird drop-shipping products from companies with slightly different logos.


Because aside from large brands executing eyeball campaigns most DTC companies are gone from the ecosystem. Loss of tracking data killed the ROI and all that’s left are casinos and absolute bullshit.


There's already a handful of well known companies providing that. It wouldn't surprise me if Clubhouse was built off of one of these APIs already.


Such as? I haven't found any plug n play solutions, just APIs like Twilio.


Jack is 46 years old... not really young at this point.


"like (young Steve Jobs)" not "like young (Steve Jobs)"


When you dig into those studies, they aren't that great either fwiw.
