I would want to know exactly where I was, but downtown Detroit is like other big city places.


The lower-friction result is that the offices become huge apartment buildings with reverse-commutes to the suburbs, hoping the "stuff to walk to" survives. There are issues with that too, like plumbing and windows.


most of those issues will be very expensive or insurmountable for most high-rises -- a non-starter

you're basically rebuilding from scratch at that point.


Maybe this is a US perspective, but those are attractive properties.


New Orleans in particular is highly variable in what you see, depending where you visit.


Mainly because of 2-factor authentication. If my phone breaks, I can't work.


You don't need a phone for most 2-factor methods. Also, you don't need iOS to receive a text message. It's very rare that I have to grab my phone for MFA.


We really don't know how consciousness works. The popular theories that it's emergent might be proven correct, or might be proven to be like the idea that phlogiston built up in a vacuum, putting out flames.


While that's true, if the cops are too egregious too often, the judge starts to doubt their stories.


My theory is that it will turn pro sports, baseball especially, into something like boxing was decades ago, where "Johnny got paid to take a dive" was a common meme.


As a parent, I was shocked how little that's actually true, at least in some US states. Home-schooling can mean sending a copy of your curriculum to your school district and you're good to go.


Texas can be pricey, but it has huge and diverse growing urban areas with a lot of job opportunities, where someplace like Miami is really cutthroat and very expensive.

Or you'd move if you like Mexican food more than Cuban and South American food.


I generally agree with this take. Some specific unions, especially in the US, seem unnecessarily adversarial to employers, but others are known primarily for upholding professional and safety standards (I'm thinking of electricians we contracted with at a previous job).
