Lots of ads, right, for jobs that pay nearly nothing. Not to mention fake ones for H1B.
Houses? It's cheap where there's no jobs.
A quarter of the population is every single millennial. What have you ever done that is approved by every single baby boomer? You think an internet fundraiser will do anything when your message is for the local city council? What good is $50k when your opponent has 10x the funds and the support of the baby boomers, which is 1/3 the voting population?
You're not just old. You're delusional. If you lose your house to a fire, you'll end up even worse than these millennials, because you even can't tell what is real.
And you think this is about me. How funny. Just a reminder: the "me me me generation" isn't referring to the millennials. Unlike you, I'm fully capable of understanding some else's pain. Oh and I'm quite well off myself, probably a lot richer than you. So fuck off with the labels.
Why, you make it sound so easy. When the older folks have snapped up all the real estate, all the capital, all the important positions in finance, law and politics, what is left for the young people? How do you run a campaign without money? Collect it from supporters? You mean the other young people, who also don't have money? How do you feed yourself during the campaign without any savings? How do you generate savings if you can't even find a job? How do you find a job when unskilled labor has been taken over by illegal immigrants and education is prohibitively expensive? The poverty trap is not a myth. When you start with nothing, you end up with nothing.
The young people in this country are being exploited. Even when they find a job, they work longer hours than ever before, and get paid less and less. You say there's ways out of this, that if they work hard they can change the rules so it's more fair. But that's just a lie, designed to keep them busy so they don't see the reality. Changing the rules while abiding by them is nothing short of impossible, because all those rules were put in place by those with money and power, and the last thing they want is to give that up. The young people have never been given a chance to succeed, they've been set up to fail, and by their parents no less.
And now they even have to put up with your bullshit.
Actually the rest of the plane does need windows. In an emergency, flight attendants are supposed to look through them to see whether there's anything wrong with the wings and engines (and more importantly, which one), since the cockpit windows don't extend far enough back to allow that. Cameras are great and all, but they tend to fail in lightning strikes or when the plane has issues with electrical power.
This already exists, at least for some Emirates flights. Go into their flight entertainment app and you can see the whole plane from a camera mounted on its tail fin. There's no need to remove the windows.
That would only put Austria on a similar level as countries like China, Iran, Syria, North Korea and some others. For an entirely different reason, but the results would ultimately be similar.
Interestingly, China is doing fine with a Chinese variant of YouTube. But that's only possible with the huge Chinese market. With only 9 million people in Austria, all of them will need to give up a significant portion of their disposable income to support an Austrian YouTube, which will simply never happen, not the least because there would also be only 1/1000th the amount of videos available.
The question here for Austria's judges is which is more important for your country: YouTube, social networks... or a super heavy handed copyright system? It's ok if you value the second more, but the consequences of that wouldn't be very good for your compatriots, your economy, and your position in tech and as a modern society.
I'd say if YouTube pulls out, the vast majority of people who want YouTube would simply switch to VPN, and it would not really affect YouTube or Austrians much. Of course, Austria can also ban VPN like China does, in which case you'd be right.
If enough people want it, then it shouldn't be illegal. Think of speeding and jaywalking. Everyone's done it and the people who put them on the books are hypocrites.
If people want a YouTube with video recommendations, then making those recommendations should be legal. If people want a YouTube which allows anyone to upload without having a judge's prior approval, then that should be legal. Otherwise someone in Austria can start their own YouTube that abides by what appears to be insane Austrian copyright laws.

Most people hear "autopilot" and think self-driving. Just about every Tesla video on YouTube had some idiot in the driver's seat who thinks it's self-driving. Usually they make comments such as "it drives itself" and "I don't have to do anything".
If Tesla cared at all about their customers' safety, they'd rename "Autopilot" to "Advanced Cruise Control and Lane Assist".
You know, the French royalty also thought it's fine to let the peasants starve. I'm sure they realized their error when their necks were placed under la guillotine.
Believe it or not, natural selection doesn't favor those who can make the most money. It favors those who do what needs to be done, regardless legal or moral boundaries. Robbing the capitalists is just fine according to its rules.
It's possible in Stockton. $750 gets you a 1 bedroom unit. If you split it 2 ways, you'll have $125 left over for food. If you split it 3 ways, you can afford electricity and internet too.
I guess it's because we don't have a secure version of email yet. All legal documents I've received have been through some third-party site because of this.
There are various degrees of moral obligations. By providing a platform for these creators to reach a wide audience free of charge, YouTube is already helping them out quite a bit. By connecting advertisers to them and providing them with a source of income, it allowed them to make a livelihood doing what they like.
Is YouTube obligated to also help them maintain their mental health? It's certainly great if they could, but hiring psychologists can be easily done by the creators themselves by using money YouTube provided. If they choose not to, then there's no one to blame other than themselves.
As for taking a break, YouTube can easily force a mandatory vacation on creators, i.e. block them from uploading for a week or two. I doubt any creator will be happy about that though.
Only the higher-priced premium Model 3's have been delivered, those can cost up to $70-80k. But even on the low end of the premium versions, with $50,000, they should still be making $10k of profit.
If the components are $18,000, labor is $10,000, and factory depreciation is $10,000 [1], then Tesla should have been making a profit on those $70,000 premium Model 3 sales, but somehow that's not reflected in their Q1 report.
So either the Germans are able to get much cheaper materials and labor than Tesla, or this is just a FUD piece. Since it's written by an actor, sources anonymous German engineers, and has a paywall for the full article, I'm leaning towards the latter.
[1] A $5 billion Gigafactory on a very aggressive depreciation schedule (double declining balance with a useful life of 10 years) would be $1 billion for the first year, which would add about $10,000 to the cost of each vehicle if they make 2k vehicles / week.
The argument that you don't need a straw to drink applies just as well to a fork or knife. If cavemen could eat using just their hands and teeth, why can't you?
In a free country, if someone wants to drink with a straw because it's fun, then they should be allowed to do it. The same applies if someone wants to eat with fork and knife because they think it's civilized.
I'd love to know where you can take a weekend ski trip for $200.
California. Go with a few friends, share the car and cabin. Skis are $60 for the weekend, lift tickets at a good resort are $60-70. The rest goes to gas and cabin rental.
I only noticed it when I visited a friend who served me a meal with "fancy" gold-plated cutlery
Where on earth do you get that??
So when you find a person with a similar interest to you, perhaps at a location where people with such interest gathers, you can strike up a conversation about said interest. If you're lucky, they end up becoming your friend.
Plastic is a generic term that encompasses a huge variety of materials. Something that eats polyethylene is not going to eat PVC. And even if it does, it probably does so in a warm, humid environment, not one which is found in most homes.

Logging doesn't contribute to atmospheric CO2. Those logs end up in houses, that is, sequestered for decades at least.

Go fix it. stop expecting someone else to fix it for you.
Not a bad idea. Though they do have to first get past the senile city council that shuts down every suggestion they've made.
Well then, you'll be disappointed to know the number of countries that operate under "democracy".

The Tesla Autopilot doesn't follow a GPS route. If it did, it wouldn't have crashed into a concrete divider.
Oh yeah, there's lot of those at 35,000 feet.

give the Military a few years and they will train you with whatever skills you want.
This is the first time I've heard of this. My impression was that you get assigned to some role, and you pick up whatever skills you use in that role.

There is such a thing as ordering to go and going back to your hotel to eat. Spending 2 hours in a restaurant is not always an option while traveling.
