Dig a little deeper into your dataset and you will find that the reason these people didn't end up homeless is because most of them have well-off / supportive families, trust funds, or Ivy League degrees.

That said I agree that people give in to fear too much, which prevents them from taking risks.

Homelessness is not happening. If you have the skills to even attempt a startup, you can for sure get a job.

I saw a bunch of people who had the skills to get a job take months to get one in 2023 and 2024. I've also seen people who think they have the skills to attempt a startup that did not.

All it takes is a downturn at the wrong time and a low capacity for risk.

Most people don't know about the massive lawsuit.

Restaurants are more expensive than ever.

Weird, people eat out more than ever too.

Restaurants solve the problem of lack of time not absence of food.

If rent is "more expensive than ever"er, then the math checks out.

A well-designed product will sell better than a slightly-less-well-designed product

What kind of toll are you talking about?

I don't think they have ever lived in such a structure. They are probably talking about living in a two story light timber frame apartment from the 70s/80s. The walls are paper thin and you can wake up your neighbor walking in slippers to get a drink of water.

These mass timber buildings are SO much better.

Good enough for local development

If you can get away with the performance of machine that feels 10 years older than it is.

Why do you care about filesystem performance in containers? If you're running a DB from it, you surely have <10-20 concurrent users (e.g. other containers) to that DB, so who cares whether a lookup takes 1us or 10ms?

In local development you have builds and other things that watch files for changes.

OP is obviously ranting because they are frustrated and dejected. Have a little empathy.

Thanks for the understanding :)

I call that "dating".

Just for fun -- make a Hinge profile and set your first picture to one of you in a white coat with a stethoscope around your neck.

Watch the likes pile up, and then come back and tell me that "no-one cares about status".

I never used Apps for that reason. I found more success increasing attraction face to face. When I started I "killed the sale" when I mentioned I owned a place , or they found out about my "high status" job. I went from "fun guy" to "serious guy" and it killed the vibe.

> my "high status" job

I'm mildly curious what qualifies as a high status job, here on HN.

Rust core team member.

Being the "fun" guy is cool up until about the age of 25, and even then you aren't really taken seriously in the dating world.

After that, a potential mate will take the stable, serious guy 9 times out of 10.

That's so true. I'm kinda boring, and happy as such, but dating when was in my early 20s was harder. Not impossible by any means, but it narrowed the group of women who were interested. But by the time I turned 30 it was a huge asset being boring, solidly employed, with a house, etc. I just had to wait for my time to come...

Sorry to hear that!

Everyone cares about status, consciously or subconsciously.
