Not understanding the true power you wield or the consequences of your actions

Sibling, I make CRUD apps with React and Python. I don’t think it’s that dramatic lmao

Stanford Prison Experiment rears its head again.

My gf pronounced it Leemy once, and I’ve never let her live it down

I just checked Airbnb prices in Austin with flexible pricing for a weekend, and the only way I could even sniff $100 a night is if I turned on “Display total price,” which factors in the cleaning fee. Turning it on rockets up the price.

The cheapest place that gives you the whole place to yourself on Airbnb is the Holiday Inn lol.

Which again, supports my experience of hotels being competitive. They’ve only just given you the option to turn on “Display total price,” so if you’re browsing Airbnb’s before, the price didn’t include the exorbitant cleaning fees which is how the owners hid their prices.

Maybe worth taking a look at those receipts in your email to see if you actually paid $100 a night. If 90% of people are complaining, either your a genius or it’s actually a real issue ;)

True, but are Airbnb’s even cheaper than hotel rooms anymore in cities?

Only time I’ve found that to be true is when you have a lot of people, getting a single Airbnb can be cheaper than multiple hotel rooms. Otherwise, Airbnb’s basically are similar in price or negligibly cheaper.

Even audited source code is not safe. Supply-chain attacks are possible. A lot of times, there’s nothing guaranteeing the audited code is the code that’s actually running.

Have you seen the dependency trees of projects in npm? I really doubt most packages are audited on a regular basis.

100%. Reddit has been looking for an exit for years lol. They’d probably sell for anyone at a few billion valuation.

It’s a good bet. Breaking habits is hard, but removing some people’s preferred way of using Reddit forces them to go cold turkey. It’s a great opportunity for all the alternatives.

My favorite code reviews are where the reviewer only comments about trivial shit that doesn’t matter, like “it would be more readable if you added a newline here” type stuff.

People will rarely say they want to endlessly scroll, but given the options, they’ll always choose the option that let’s them consume more content, aka doom scroll.
