I find the people who promote AI the most are those with vested financial interests in AI. Don't get me wrong, I find it is a useful tool but it's not going to replace programmers any time soon.
My siblings and I were all home schooled until college. We all have advanced degrees, families, and high paying professional jobs. My socialization was great. There is barely a memory of mine growing up were my siblings and I weren't out with friends in the neighborhood. Home school isn't for everyone and neither is public school. Personally I wouldn't trade my experience for anything.
Vrbo did not provide me with a better experience. I rented a place last Christmas which looked nice going by the pictures in the listing. But when we got there it turned out to be a complete dump. It was so bad we didn’t stay and went straight to a hotel. Of course I contacted both the host and VRBO. The host never responded and the Vrbo representatives just shrugged their shoulders and said it was up to me to work it out with the host. Needless to say that will be the last time I use vrbo, Airbnb or any service like it.
The only reason it makes sense is that flexibility is a privilege and privilege is afforded for those who can sustain a tax, generally. Seems awful for call center employees who are not given an office, though
I've been toying with the idea of starting a side-business of setting up home offices.
I'm a WFH software developer, and I have some experience with residential construction and soundproofing. I'm considering teaming up with a full-time building contractor to start targeting this niche market.
"Wouldn't it make more sense to give this to people who are most at risk of spreading it, not dying from it?"
It wouldn't make any sense at all. The reason is that not only do older people have a greater risk of dying from Covid, they also have a much higher risk of being hospitalized[1], and remember the justification for the extreme measures we've taken and continue to take is the fear we will overwhelm our health care systems.
With Manifest v3 in Canary it feels like there's no chance it won't reach stable in substantially the same form. Moving to Firefox now gives you a transition period where both browsers are viable.
I didn't know it was in Canary. I used Firefox for several months earlier this year before going back to Chrome. Due to this, my transition back to it will be pretty quick and painless.
You can import those into firefox by going to options -> privacy and security -> saved logins and click on import. I just did it yesterday and it worked well.
